RWI began its engagement in Indonesia in 1999, which led to the establishment of an office in Jakarta in 2005 through a Memorandum of Understanding with the Ministry of Law and Human Rights of the Republic of Indonesia, as part of the Asia Programme. Since then, the office has managed a bilateral programme with the Indonesian government focused on Human Rights in Indonesia’s Correctional Facilities (2007-2017). This programme aimed to enhance management practices and prisoner treatment through activities such as initial audits, action plan development, capacity building, and final audits to evaluate progress.
In 2017, the office transitioned to managing the Regional Asia Pacific Programme on Human Rights and Sustainable Development (RAPP 1). This programme aimed to foster just, inclusive, and sustainable development in the region by promoting the protection of human rights, gender equality, and environmental sustainability in collaboration with stakeholders across South Asia, Southeast Asia, and the Pacific. Following the successful completion of RAPP 1, the regional programme continues with the Regional Asia Pacific Programme on Advancing Just Transitions to Climate Resilient and Nature-Positive Societies (RAPP 2), running from 2024 to 2026.
