The Partnership for Governance Reform, or Kemitraan, was established in 2000 following Indonesia’s first free and fair elections in two generations in 1999. These historic elections were an important step towards moving Indonesia beyond the authoritarian era and towards a democratic future. The Partnership was established as a multi-donor trust fund and is managed by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP). The Partnership was founded and led by a number of prominent Indonesian leaders from government, civil society and the private sector to promote the principles of good governance.
In 2003 the Partnership became an independent, registered legal entity as a non-profit civil law association. At this time the same remains UNDP program was successful until the end of 2009. Since the beginning of 2010 the Partnership has assumed full fiduciary responsibility and program accountability and development.
