I. Organizational Context

“UNDP partners with people at all levels of society to help build nations that can withstand crisis, and drive and sustain the kind of growth that improves the quality of life for everyone. On the ground in 177 countries and territories, UNDP offers global perspective and local insight to help empower lives and build resilient nations.”  

UNDP Indonesia’s mission is to be an agent for change in the human and social development of Indonesia.  We, the UNDP Country Office (CO), aim to be a bridge between Indonesia an all donors as well as maintaining our status as a trusted partner to all stakeholders.  We work in four key areas of development: Governance Reforms, Pro-Poor Policy Reforms, Conflict Prevention and Recovery, and Environment Management, with the overarching aim of reducing poverty in Indonesia.  Besides the four priority areas, UNDP Indonesia is also engaged in a variety of crosscutting initiatives focused on HIV/AIDS, gender equality, and information and technology for development.

Background
On 26 May 2010 the Governments of Indonesia and Norway signed a Letter of Intent (LoI) to establish a REDD+ Partnership. The first phase of this REDD+ Partnership (Phase 1) was to establish an agency with the capacity to implement and manage REDD+ projects initially in the pilot province Central Kalimantan and progressively in other priority provinces across Indonesia. A Task Force (Satuan Tugas, Satgas) was established to support this initial phase and, as of June 2013 at the end of the Task Force’s mandate, the following progress was achieved:

Drafting of an integrated Presidential Regulation regarding the establishment of a REDD+ Agency and governance of REDD+ in Indonesia;Finalisation of a REDD+ National Strategy (Stranas) and development of Provincial Strategies and Action Plans (PSAPs) for the eleven priority provinces;Agreement on, and legal basis for, the structure and operations of a REDD+ Financial Instrument (FREDDI); its implementation awaits the establishment of the REDD+ Agency and the subsequent release of funding for Phase 2 of the LoI;A methodology, partially trialled, for the structure and Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) of the MRV technical unit; while international standards and an international/national REDD+ registry remain in development, the unit is ready for mobilisation following the establishment of the REDD+ Agency;Legal review of regulatory requirements related to REDD+ implementation in particular land tenure, forest and peat-land governance, forest monitoring and law enforcement, consolidation of land concessions, and a Moratorium on all new concessions for conversion of peat and natural forest in Indonesia; andSuccessful implementation of a wide range of projects by the REDD+ Task Force in the pilot province Central Kalimantan with a focus on developing an operational capacity and an enabling environment for REDD+ projects.

These achievements have prepared a basic foundation for a future REDD+ national programme that aims to address the emission-reduction target for the forestry and peat-land sectors and the national long-term goals associated with sustainable economic development and poverty reduction.

In November 2011, the Provincial Government of Central Kalimantan established a Regional Commission (Komisi Daerah) to facilitate coordination, communication and harmonisation of REDD+ activities in the Pilot Province. A joint Secretariat (Sekretariat Bersama) was established to provide effective communication channels between the Regional Commission and the REDD+ Task F and more recently, recruitment is underway for field specialist to assist in the design and implementation of REDD+ activities in Central Kalimantan.

To support the program of REDD+ Agency in Central Kalimantan especially in endorsing the Joint Secretariat, the REDD+ PMU shall expand its administration team in order to better serve the agency from administration perspective, along with the expansion; the Project Management Unit shall recruit an Admin Associate to lead the Administration unit in Central Kalimantan Province.  

Context of this TOR

For the second phase of the REDD+ Partnership (Phase 2) to commence, it is required that the REDD+ Funding Instrument (known as FREDDI) is formally established by the REDD+ Agency along with a legal basis for its operations. Considering the time involved in establishing a fully operational Funding Instrument, additional interim funding has been provided under the Indonesian-Norway Partnership to support any potential gaps that may arise after the REDD+ Special Team’s assignment ends and the establishment of FREDDI. In addition, this funding will provide further resources for the capacity development of the REDD+ Agency in its preparations for the implementation of Phase 2 of the Indonesian-Norway Partnership. This interim funding will be managed by UNDP as a continuation of its role as fund manager under Phase 1 of the partnership.

Under the guidance and direct supervision of the Project Coordinator for Central Kalimantan, the Joint Secretariat IT Support works in close collaboration with the Joint Secretariat Team, Central Kalimantan Government and other stakeholder in Central Kalimantan to provide IT support service on daily activities to ensure high quality and accuracy of work.
