Agenda



SCAD Independent has a high standing and well-established links with key academic and non-profit research agencies. These partnerships include a Memorandum of Understanding with the Universities to foster closer ties. We believe that by specializing purely in social research we are well placed, not only to better understand the demands of such research, but also to strive to continuously improve the methods used. Therefore, SCAD_Independent has several agendas that are continuously carried out, namely:


SCAD Independent provide survey services and research for various groups with an interest in public opinion, especially as related to political contestation as national and local elections and public policy-making is responsive to the aspirations of society. Data from the survey will help evaluate and improve the performance of public officials, politicians, political parties, government agencies and institutions of socio-civic.

Type Survey, Research and Assessment Undertaken: SCAD_Independent there are two (2) types: 1) Survey and Public Research (non-commercial) were carried out at the request of public institutions, both domestic and international, and to be published. This survey was conducted nationwide and routinely every 3 (three) months. 2) Commercial survey conducted at the request of individuals, groups or other private institutions. The survey results and this research entirely to the client and are not published unless the client concerned so desire. SCAD_Independent also provide "leave questions" that are tailored to the needs of the client wants. This is a practical way to obtain survey data and national and local research at lower costs.

SCAD_Independent work on the basis of academic principles and relevant statistical analysis, and rely on a code of conduct surveys of public opinion: the International Association of Public Opinion Research (IAPOR).

Public evaluation on the performance of the executive, legislature, and judiciary at national and regional levels. Evaluation of the performance of political parties, interest groups, community organizations or civil society. Public preference over public policies of national and local public evaluation of the relationship between states and international problems.

1. Democracy
Government that is democratic, transparent and accountable is a requirement of the public at large. At the most minimal level, democracy requires free and fair elections. Thus, democracy allows citizens to choose a leader who is considered most worthy to represent himself. But in reality, the electoral system (Election) and the elections to the regional (elections) that exists today does not necessarily ensure democracy. System and local elections that exist today do not also necessarily reduce the chances of the structure and practices of authoritarian government. In fact, fair competition in national and local elections, inclusive political participation and the protection of civil liberties (civil liberties) is also a prerequisite to ensure democracy can walk.

From the aspect of governance, decentralization policy has given autonomy to the local government authority that allows local control over policies and resources greater. The challenge for local government is no longer insufficient funds, but how the funds are utilized so effectively. Democracy program then seeks to encourage the improvement of the quality of Elections and local elections as well as ensuring that the existing election and local elections conducted freely and fairly, which then produces a government that is transparent and accountable.

2. Legal Reform
With the legal reforms, the Independent SCAD will support improved institutional capacity of law in the courts and at the level of key institutions that become partners of the government. Oversee the process of making laws in Aceh and district government levels. Cooperating with relevant institutions, SCAD Independent will try to improve the ease of obtaining justice for the poor and marginalized. Independent SCAD will also continue to support the institutions that aim to enforce the law.

3. Human Rights
The consolidation of democracy requires strong institutions that function synergistically with the pillars of democracy. Relying on the general election and the election alone is not enough to produce a democratic political system, because true democracy requires a real appreciation for the civil rights, recognition of the principles of equality and diversity, particularly for minority groups. Founder of Indonesia has recognized the importance of diversity and ensure that accommodation in Pancasila and the motto of Unity in Diversity.

4. Corruption
This partnership provides a strategic framework for anti-corruption efforts in Indonesia in general and specifically Aceh, which aims to help promote a sustainable anti-corruption stance.

5. Gender Equality
The Government of Aceh in particular and Indonesia in general has a strong commitment to promote gender equality and women's empowerment. However, progress has not been so real and difficult challenges still to be faced. For example, the level of gender inequality of women are not adequately represented in positions of leadership through direct election and management positions in the public service. The challenge is to find ways that are practical and effective way to reduce inequality and ensure women and men benefit equally from development.

Gender equality will be one of the priority agenda SCAD Independent. In the government achieve its MDG target, will strengthen the programs already running and promoting gender equality, in accordance with the conditions in Indonesia and in line with the priorities of the Government of Aceh.

Commitment to promote gender equality requires a good understanding of gender issues in society, as well as policies and laws in force in the State of Indonesia and in Aceh in particular. So, SCAD Independent provide advisory and special teams that examine and analyze gender issues, which are also responsible for gender issues, and will identify the needs and contributions should be linked to notions of gender.

6. Civil Society
SCAD_Independent will actively build relationships with community groups and individuals in Aceh in order to increase public participation in the democratic process and a desire for reform. In Aceh, a number of non-governmental organizations play an important role in shaping public discourse and help the reform of the government of Aceh and District/ City. Recognizing the important role of Islamic organizations in the development of Aceh, SCAD_Independent will strengthen existing partnerships and create closer ties with organizations that honor the diversity of Islam, as contained in the Law on Governing Aceh and listed in the MoU Helsinki.

These centers on a series of programs in various sectors, especially in the sectors of Democracy, Law and Human Rights, Gender Equality, Education and Human Resources, Religion, Social, and Cultural Rights, and decentralization. Donors can contribute and cooperate in the implementation of the program through a multi-donor funding or bilateral activities related to the sector in question.
