  Indonesia Corruption Watch (Indonesia) |
Indonesia Corruption Watch (ICW) is an Indonesian NGO whose primary mission is to monitor and publicise incidents of corruption in Indonesia. ICW is also heavily engaged in the prevention and deterrence of corruption through education, cultural change, prosecutions and system reform.[1] The organization was formed in Jakarta in June 1998 to prevent corruption in post-Suharto governments.[2]
ICW's work and influence in Indonesia as a major NGO in its field has been recognized and extensively reported on since 1998 by Indonesian and major international news media. The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime considers ICW to be "the leading NGO" focused on fighting corruption in Indonesia.[3] The World Bank cites multiple ICW studies in various World Bank published reports and on its website.[4][5] ICW's work and reports have also been cited in hundreds of academic works, books and journals about governmental and societal corruption.
In 2013, then-Governor of Jakarta Basuki "Ahok" Tjahaja Purnama requested that ICW monitor the performance of government units under his administration.[6][7] In 2015, there were arrests and reported harassment of ICW staff and activists by Indonesian police officers.[8][9] On September 2, 2015, President Joko Widodo appointed former Indonesia Corruption Watch head Teten Masduki as his new chief of staff.[10]
