Equitas has been providing training programs to Indonesian Government officials since 2005 in support of the implementation of Indonesia’s National Action Plan for Human Rights.

Directorate General of Human Rights of the Indonesian Ministry of Law and Human Rights (MOLAHR)
Equitas worked with MOLAHR to implement the country’s national action plan on human rights (RANHAM). 86 staff and representatives of various government ministries involved in the RANHAM, the academic community and the police were trained. The project developed a core group of trainers strategically located across the country and in the province of Aceh. “The knowledge and skills learned were very useful particularly in our work on post-tsunami land rights and handling the land disputes.” The 2005-2009 program led to the publication of Women’s Rights in Muslim Communities: A Resource Guide for Human Rights Educators, a joint research publication by the Directorate General of Human Rights (DG-HAM) of the Indonesian Ministry of Law and Human Rights (MOLAHR) and Equitas – International Centre for Human Rights Education.

Ministry of Social Affairs (MOSA)
Equitas is working with the Indonesian Ministry of Social Affairs to strengthen the knowledge and skills of its trainers in Rights-Based and participatory approaches.
