Capability Development

Supporting the Bali Process membership
The RSO engages proactively with Bali Process members and Working Groups to support strong relationships and networks in the region, and to ensure our work reflects and is responsive to needs and priorities set by the Bali Process membership.

Governance and Capability
A focus on governance and capability ensures the RSO has appropriate structures and processes in place to enable good decision making, manage risk and enable the RSO meet its objectives. The RSO operates with strategic guidance from the Bali Process Senior Official Co-Chairs, and Senior Officials in the Governments of Australia and Indonesia. Day to day operations are overseen by two RSO Co-Managers from the Australian and Indonesian Governments.
