Devex Spotlights The Asia Foundation and DFAT Partner Programs

Devex spotlights The Asia Foundation and the Australian government’s Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade‘s (DFAT) partner programs in Indonesia. The article features Program Peduli and the Rinitisan Desa Inklusi initiative, a program focused on the inclusion of people with disabilities.

But the Asia Foundation and DFAT are confident that the milestones their civil society partners have achieved to date will help them in continuing their initiatives and scale.
 
“Asia Foundation has been very invested in providing technical assistance and technical support for strengthening of CSOs. And I think in the last part of the program, they sort of allowed the partners to build a coalition with other organizations to leverage their relationship with national level or local level governments to advance the agenda,” said Andini Mulyawati, senior program manager for poverty and social development at DFAT Indonesia.
