So what is the difference between Komnas PA and KPAI?

Komnas PA is an independent organization, while KPAI is a state institution.

Although both are in charge of child protection, KPAI and Komnas PA are two different institutions.

The legal basis for the establishment of Komnas PA is Decree of the Minister of Social Affairs Number 81 / HUK / 1997 on the Establishment of the Indonesian Child Protection Institution.

One of the most famous figures in Komnas PA is Setyo Mulyadi or familiarly called Kak Seto.

It was noted that Kak Seto served as General President of the AP National Commission in 2006-2009.

This was stated in the Decree of the Minister of Social Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia Number 09 / HUK / 2007 regarding the inauguration of the Board of Commissioners of the National Commission for the Protection of Children for the period 2006-2009.

Meanwhile, quoted from page kpai.go.id, KPAI is an independent state institution established under article 74 of Law No. 23 of 2002 on the protection of children.

The law was approved in the Plenary Session of the DPR on September 22, 2002.

A year later, the Fifth President of the Republic of Indonesia, Megawati Soekarno Putri, issued Presidential Decree No. 77/2003 on the Indonesian Child Protection Commission.

It takes approximately 8 months to elect and appoint KPAI members as stipulated in these legal regulations.

The position of the KPAI itself is similar to that of other state commissions, such as the National Commission for Human Rights (Komnas HAM) and the National Commission on Violence against Women (Komnas Perempuan).
