Child Protection
i
The Government of Indonesia’s child protection agenda has led to significant improvements in children’s well-being in recent years. A key factor in strengthening child protection is the development and improvement of policies, which require continuous attention to achieve positive child protection outcomes over the long run. Ensuring birth registration for all children presents an ongoing challenge in Indonesia, as does decreasing the prevalence of violence against children. Recently, the need has arisen to develop policies and programmes to meet the needs of children living without parental care and protect children during disasters. Child protection adds a new dimension to the overall need for disaster risk reduction, preparedness and response.
Other developments include Instructions from Deputy of Child Protection No 776/2019 on Code of Conduct Implementation of Child Protection and Government Regulation No. 59/2019 on Child Protection Coordination. More recently, National Protocol & Guidance for Child Protection during Covid19 Pandemic.
Since 2019, UNICEF country office is supporting MoSA in piloting an integrated child welfare service model, in order to improve the linkages between child protection services, child and family support services and social protection mechanisms available in the country. MoSA is in the process of rolling this out from 5 to 116 districts. (GSSWA, 2019)
UNICEF, 2018
Decentralisation
i
In the context of decentralisation of the government system the social welfare system has been highly unregulated and heavily reliant on private, faith-based organizations for the delivery of services.
Law No 32 of 2004 on Local Governance reaffirmed the Central Government overall responsibility for ensuring the application of minimum standards in social welfare in the context of the local autonomy while local government is responsible for the provision and delivery of social services through their provincial and district/city offices. Each province has a provincial and a district/city Social Affairs Office (Dinas Sosial) which has a section or directorate responsible for social services for children. In most provinces, social welfare service structures do not extend below the district level (ECPAT et al., 2014).
BCN & GSSWA, 2014
Migration
i
In December 2016, the president of Indonesia, decreed the Presidential Regulation number 125 (Perpres 125), or the Presidential Regulation on the Handling of Foreign Refugees. This regulation provides a framework for a nationally coordinated response to asylum seekers and refugees. This decree also provides a definition of refugees and asylum seekers based on the 1951 Convention and as a result refugees and asylum seekers are no longer classified as irregular migrants.This decree has, overall, had some positive consequences for asylum seekers and refugees.First, the decree has meant that refugees and asylum seekers are granted freedom of movement and do not live in fear of being arrested and detained. Second, government agencies have a coherent definition of refugees and asylum seekers and have amended their behaviour towards this group. Essentially, government organisations now see refugees and asylum seekers as different to irregular migrants and to be treated as such. Third, the incidence and risk of refoulement has decreased, and the practice of “pushing migrants back to sea” is no longer taking place. Fourth, the decree has provided a division of labour among ministries and departments, helping to improve the coordination and effectiveness of refugee protection. While it is encouraging that Indonesia has become party to both conventions to ensure the adequate protection of refugees, as will be discussed below, some gaps still exist. Nevertheless this is a positive step.
