About ARG

History
The Australia Awards Alumni Reference Group – Indonesia (ARG) was launched in June 2010 and represents over 10 000 Government of Australia Awards alumni in Indonesia. Consisting of 200 alumni from most Indonesian provinces representing major disciplines of study, the ARG provides input to the Governments of Indonesia and Australia to assist in future policy formulation.

Our Objective
The purpose of ARG is to maximise the contribution to the development of Indonesia by Government of Australia scholarship alumni through the facilitation of effective communication with the Governments of Australia and Indonesia on development related matters.

ARG Executive Members
A restructure of the ARG was approved by AusAID in early 2012. The new structure provides for 8 ARG Teams based upon priority development areas in common between the Government of Indonesia Mid-Term Plan 2010-2014 and the Australia Indonesia Country Program Strategy 2008-2013. The structure replaces the Executive Members with Team Coordinators and retains the role of ARG Chairperson.

Program
Each team coordinator is required to develop a Work Plan with group members.  The suggested outputs may include the following:

  1. Commissioned research seed funding,
  2. Professional development activity,
  3. Issues paper,
  4. Community engagement activity.
