CAUSINDY welcomes Cardno as a minor sponsor!

Cardno is an ASX-200 professional infrastructure and environmental services company, with expertise in the development and improvement of physical and social infrastructure for communities around the world. The company has been operating since 1945 and has more than 8,000 employees worldwide.

Cardno’s Emerging Markets business works with a diverse range of international clients in the public and private sectors. They deliver and manage major aid initiatives in core disciplines such as education, health, HIV and AIDS, governance, infrastructure, resources and environmental management. Their work expands across Latin and North America, Europe, Africa, the Pacific and Asia.

Cardno has an impressive history of operation in Indonesia that spans three decades. From its large corporate presence in Jakarta, Cardno manages three AusAID’s flagship national development programs in the law and justice, decentralisation and education sectors;

  • The Australia Indonesia Partnership for Justice—an AU$28 million Australian Government program aimed at increasing access to justice for poor and marginalised groups in Indonesia;
  • The Australia Indonesia Partnership for Decentralisation—an AU$61 million program to allow the Government of Australia to support the Government of Indonesia to effectively implement its decentralisation policies, with a particular focus on improving essential service delivery; and
  • The School Systems and Quality Program—an AU$88 million program that assists the Government of Indonesia to reduce disparities in access to education; improve the quality of teaching and learning in Indonesian schools; and improve management and accountability at all levels of school administration (national, provincial, district and school).

Cardno is also responsible for a number of infrastructure and environmental management programs across the country, including the Indonesia Road Survey Services—an AU$1.45 million project which forms part of the AusAID-supported Eastern Indonesia National Roads Improvement Project. It aims to improve 390 kilometres of roads and bridges in Eastern Indonesia. Cardno is responsible for the planning and implementation of the field surveys and data analysis processing.

Given the breadth and depth of Cardno’s experience in Indonesia, we are very excited to have them on-board as a minor sponsor for CAUSINDY 2013.

Welcoming ANU to CAUSINDY

CAUSINDY is very pleased to announce The Australian National University (ANU) has come on board with CAUSINDY 2013 as an Executive Partner.

As a major sponsor and Executive Partner, ANU has made a significant commitment to CAUSINDY and we are grateful for their support of our initiative.

CAUSINDY is also excited that our inaugural conference will be held at the ANU campus.

Given The Australian National University’s reputation as a centre for excellence in Indonesian teaching and research we think that holding the conference at ANU is a perfect match for our conference focus.

We are also extremely grateful to the ANU for their support in securing world-class speakers for our conference sessions.

As part of their sponsorship package, ANU will also be selecting one alumnus of the ANU College of Asia and the Pacific to represent the university at CAUSINDY 2013. The travel costs of this delegate will be fully covered. For this reason we encourage all alumni of the ANU College of Asia and the Pacific who are applying for CAUSINDY to indicate this on their application forms.

We thank ANU again for their generous support of CAUSINDY 2013 and look forward to introducing CAUSINDY delegates to the fantastic staff and facilities at the ANU.
