**The Role**
Under the Subsidiary Arrangement between the Governments of Indonesia and Australia, AIPJ3 supports GOI in achieving justice and security reforms aligned with shared policy priorities.

The secretariat's main objectives are to comprehensively coordinate the program's implementation, including grant administration for CSO partners, monitoring, and evaluation, while facilitating coordination between Bappenas and the relevant line ministries and agencies, CSO partners, and AIPJ3 team.

The Government Relations and Program Coordinator for the Bappenas Secretariat plays a pivotal role in strengthening the partnership by supporting the coordination, alignment, and performance monitoring of AIPJ3 activities in line with Indonesia’s national development priorities as mandated on the RPJMN 2025-2029. The Coordinator will support Bappenas for the alignment with AIPJ3’s partnership and operations frameworks, supporting GOI, Government of Australia (GOA) and non-Bappenas partners to work collaboratively on agreed reform priorities. The role is responsible for providing Bappenas with program management, performance tracking of AIPJ3 activities, and BAST reporting. These include regular updates and coordination of activities, initiating a forum for the exchange of significant progress, as well as providing relevant documents to be presented in key governance events such as the Partnership Board Meeting and the Partnership Management Committee.
