Research for policy advocacy

Online research training for Disabled People’s Organisations in Indonesia
Alumni of SSEAC’s Australia Award leadership training program for Indonesian disability activists are invited to participate in an intensive online research training program. If you participated in the Australia Award Short Course in 2020, 2018 or 2016, you are welcome to apply. There are 16 spaces available, so sign up quickly!

Over five weeks, participants will learn research skills that they can use to strengthen their policy advocacy. The modules will cover the following topics:

  • Identifying your research question
  • Identifying suitable data sources and methods for collecting data
  • Analysing your data
  • Writing up the results
  • Disseminating your results

Participants will work in small groups on a joint research project for the duration of the course. The final component of the training will be an online presentation of the findings to an audience that includes other activists from Indonesia and Australia, as well as Indonesian policy makers.

This course will be conducted in Bahasa Indonesia. Any English language content will be translated so you do not have to speak English to participate.

Participants will receive a certificate from the University of Sydney (subject to completion of all modules and the research project).

SSEAC is excited to be working in partnership with the Center for Indonesian Law and Policy Studies (PSHK) to offer this course with the support of the Australian Government through the Australia-Indonesia Institute of the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade.

Applications are currently closed.
