KEMITRAAN is a multi-stakeholder organization established to promote governance reform.

Since our inception in 2000, KEMITRAAN has established a wide range of multi-stakeholder networks at all levels. We work together with the government in mainstreaming good governance principles in public policy making, implementation and monitoring phases with evidence-based approach.
USAID INTEGRITAS
Awarded on January 10, 2022, the Indonesian Integrity Initiative (INTEGRITAS) is a five-year program funded by USAID/Indonesia and implemented by KEMITRAAN, in collaboration with Indonesia Corruption Watch (ICW), Transparency International-Indonesia, and the Basel Institute on Governance, and in partnership with Indonesian civil society organizations (CSOs) and government agencies. INTEGRITAS seeks to address corruption in Indonesia through a dual-tracked approach of systems strengthening and public engagement that facilitates local civil society efforts to address systemic corruption vulnerabilities and conflicts of interest in the country.
The goal of INTEGRITAS is to support the Government of Indonesia (GOI) in its corruption prevention efforts through enhancing civic engagement and strengthening a culture of integrity for both the public and private sectors. INTEGRITAS seeks to enhance Indonesian civil society capacity and role to more effectively partner with and support key GOI oversight institutions, while simultaneously ensuring sufficient preventative and oversight mechanisms are in place in the public and private sector. The activity will cooperate and work with government and non-government key actors to achieve this goal through two interrelated intermediate results (IRs):
• IR 1: Implementation of transparent policies and practices that reduce conflicts of interest increased.
• IR 2: Public education on, awareness of, and participation in anti-corruption efforts improved.
