On Mar. 17 【The Lecture Series by Asian Opinion Leaders】
Challenges and Efforts of Anti-Corruption Policy in Indonesia
Closed.

The Sasakawa Peace Foundation has been implementing the project entitled "Asian Opinion Leaders' Exchange" since the fiscal year 2014. The objective of this project is to enhance mutual understanding and strengthen collaboration between Japan and Asian countries through inviting Asian opinion leaders to Japan and engaging them in dialogues with Japanese policy makers, scholars and business leaders.

From 2010 to 2015, Indonesia's renowned human right activist Dr. Bambang Widjojanto served as Deputy Chairman of Corruption Eradication Commission: KPK. Dr. Widjojanto is well-respected leader of Indonesia's civil society for long time and many people freshly remember his endeavors to fight against corruption during his service for KPK.

Here he explores Indonesia's corruption eradiation initiatives and its problems with special emphasis on civil society's efforts.

Corruption is deeply rooted in society of Indonesia since Soeharto regime. Considering the increasing number of Japanese companies have developed business relations with Indonesia, the problems revolve around the corruption cannot be ignored. Dr. Widjojanto is currently staying in Japan as a visiting research fellow at the Sasakawa Peace Foundation for past 10 months. We hope Dr. Widjojanto insights expressed during this lecture can reinforce mutual understanding between Indonesia and Japan.

We look forward to welcoming all of you at this seminar.
