ABSTRACT
Poverty reduction has become a major policy initiative in Indonesia since the advent of the economic crisis in 1997/98. When the economic crisis hit Indonesia started in mid 1997, the government established the social safety net (JPS) program, covering food security, health, education, employment creation, and community empowerment.
This study was conducted as part of a collaborative research project led by the Supreme Court of Indonesia (Mahkamah Agung Republik Indonesia—MA) with the assistance of the Family Court of Australia and the AusAID-funded Indonesia Australia Legal Development Facility (IALDF) from 2007–2009.
