(BALAOD Mindanaw), Solidarity Towards Agrarian Reform and Rural Development (Kaisahan), and People In Need (PIN). JALR contributes to the work of civil society organizations, including human rights organizations, working with vulnerable and socially excluded groups with particular focus on supporting the empowerment of farmers and indigenous peoples to claim their rights, including protecting the rights of human rights defenders. The project is supported by the European Union’s European Instrument for Democracy and Human Rights (EU-EIDHR). People In Need (PIN) The People in Need (PIN) organization was established in 1992 by a group of Czech war correspondents who were no longer satisfied with merely relaying information about ongoing conflicts and began sending out aid. It gradually became established as a professional humanitarian organization striving to provide aid in troubled regions and support adherence to human rights around the world. Throughout the 25 years of its existence, PIN has become one of the biggest non-profit organizations in Central Europe. In addition to humanitarian aid and human rights, it now also targets education and helps people living in social exclusion. PIN is part of the Alliance2015, a strategic network of seven European nongovernmental organizations engaged in humanitarian aid and development projects. This collaboration increases effectivity both in working in the target countries and in campaigns aimed at influencing the attitudes of politicians and the general public in Europe.

Established in 1994, as the Consortium for Agrarian Reform, KPA promotes agrarian reform in Indonesia through advocacy and the strengthening of people’s organizations. KPA’s focus on land reform and tenurial security, and policy advocacy on these issues have put the coalition at the forefront of the land rights struggles of Indonesia’s landless rural poor, especially with the indigenous peoples in several areas in Outer Java. KPA encourages a participatory and pluralistic approach which recognizes the development of different systems of land use and tenure to ensure land rights. KPA is a people’s movement that has an open minded and independent character. Komplek Liga Mas, Jl.
