55852 - Information Technology (IT) Associate ? for GHG Inventory and National Registry MRV (For Indonesian Nationality Only) - Jakarta

“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 aim to be a bridge between Indonesia and all donors as well 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.”

Indonesia signed the Climate Change Convention (UNFCCC, United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change) in Rio in 1992, which was then ratified in 1994 through Law no. 6/1994. Under this framework, Indonesia, which is a non-Annex 1 country, is committed to fully implementing the convention. Under one of the requirements of the convention, Indonesia has to report its activities aimed at addressing the climate change to the UNFCCC through the National Communication on Climate Change.

The National Communication contains information on national circumstances, GHG inventory and projection, mitigation action plan (including related cost, expected funding and relevant policies), vulnerability and adaptation assessment (including action plan for adaptation, related costs, expected funding and relevant policies), institutional arrangement, and plan for improvement of future national communication.

This Enabling Activity project will assist Indonesia to prepare the 1st Biennial Update Report (BUR) and Third National Communication (TNC) to the UNFCCC. The objective is to cover the annual GHG Inventory for 2000-2012 for the BUR and 2000-2012 for the TNC, focusing on sectors/ gases that have significant shares of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and/or present a large degree of data uncertainty. The progress on the implementation of national mitigation actions and their effect on emission reduction will also be reported. Regional climate models and downscaled global models will be developed to reduce the uncertainties in vulnerability and adaptation assessments for different sectors. Indonesia’s description of national circumstances will be updated as well. Finally, the project will continue to build institutional capacity for implementing the Convention and to undertake activities related to climate change education and awareness.

The National Government has developed National Action Plan on GHG Emission Reduction (RANGRK) as regulated under the Presidential Regulation No. 61/2011. As mandated under the same Presidential Regulation, provincial government have also developed Provincial Action Plan on GHG Emission Reduction (RADGRK). In 2013, BAPPENAS released Monitoring, Evaluation and Reporting (MER / PEP) template for reporting the implementation of RANGRK and RAD GRK, as a means to measure the progress of achievement towards national and provincial GHG emission reduction.

In parallel, the Ministry of Environment and Forestry is developing a measurement, reporting and verification (MRV) framework to follow up the mandate of Presidential Regulation No. 71/2011 on the need to develop a verification system on the process and the result of GHG inventory, including GHG emission reduction resulted from national mitigation actions. In March 2014, The Minister of Environment Regulation No. 15/2014 on Measurement, Reporting and Verification (MRV) of Climate Change Mitigation Action was signed. The aim of this regulation is to provide guideline on how to measure, report and verify the achievement of mitigation actions. Initially, the MRV will be applied to mitigation actions of RANGRK and RADGRK (i.e. actions led by national and provincial government).

In order to operationalise the MRV framework, it is expected that there will be the following stakeholders to be established: National Secretariat of MRV, National Committee on MRV, and verifiers fulfilling competency standard set by the Ministry of Environment and Forestry. The National Secretariat of MRV will play a central role in supporting the National Committee on MRV in reviewing the MRV report and in developing further or reviewing guidelines as necessary. It is expected that the overall process and results of MRV will be integrated in a national registry system.

In general, there are four major challenges in GHG inventory and national registry MRV in Indonesia, including:
1.    How to improve the quantity and quality of activity data?
2.    How to maintain the continuity of data?
3.    How to ensure information collection activities meet the principles of transparency, accuracy, completeness, consistency and comparable?
4.    How to ensure the entire Ministry / Agency, and provincial or district / city collects information in a compact and integrated approach?

To address this challenge, an information technology infrastructure is required. Infrastructure on Information Technology (IT) in both hardware and software, and the supporting infrastructure is a strategic asset to support inventory activities, and also has a high investment value. Given its strategic value, then the use of IT should be promptly utilized to avoid higher maintenance costs in the future.

The IT infrastructure management needs to be prepared so that it can be used by end-user in an optimum condition and is not vulnerable to threat. To support the preparation and maintenance, a full time IT Associate will be hired under this project. The position of IT Associate will be located primarily in the project office under the overall guidance of National Project Director, Ministry of Environment and Forestry and National Project Coordinator (NPC). The incumbent of the IT Associate will be responsible to support to the Ministry of Environment and Forestry in providing IT strategy for GHG inventory and national registry MRV, including system development and daily management.

Project Associate (SC, SB3, Rapid Response to Social and Economic Issues of Internally Displaced People in Ukraine) - Kyiv

The last nine months in Ukraine have been marked by a rapid succession of intense, disruptive events which have profoundly affected Ukrainian society.

Following the mass protest movement on Maidan in late 2013, which culminated in the overthrow of the Government after the violent clashes between security forces and protestors in February 2014, an interim government was appointed. While both the Government and the subsequent election of a new President are generally supported by most Ukrainian citizens, their legitimacy are questioned by some quarters, including in Eastern Ukraine.

Violence conflict in the Eastern regions and the occupation of Crimea has led a growing number of people to leave their homes and relocate elsewhere in Ukraine or even abroad. The majority of internally displaced persons (IDP) movements have taken place to safer regions. As of 20 August 2014, UNOCHA reported a total of 190,087 internally displaced persons (174,380 – from Eastern Ukraine and 15,707 – from Crimea). At the same time, regional departments of social protection registered approximately 100,000 IDPs, of which 35 percent are women and 34 percent are children, while men constitute about 20 percent, and rest are elderly and disabled people. According to Russian sources, more than 700,000 have fled to the Russian Federation. A Needs Assessment conducted by OCHA in June 2014 in the Donetsk and Lugansk Oblasts indicates that, potentially, a total of 1.52 million people may leave the Eastern regions of Ukraine, should armed conflict and violence continue to take place.

According to numerous sources, there are considerable gaps in the State’s ability to protect IDPs. The central authorities had not issued formal instructions on how to register and assist displaced persons, leading to different practices across the country. Regional authorities are reported to be waiting for instructions on funding allocations for IDPs from the Eastern regions. At present, the basic needs of IDPs are generally covered by activists and civil society. Yet, charitable response capacity is limited and without a systemic countrywide solution-oriented coordination mechanism, it is unlikely to be sustainable for a long period of time, especially in the event of mass arrivals.

There is no medium- to long-term planning to handle IDP-related issues. As IDPs do not appear to expect a long-term stay, some activities are not being undertaken – e.g. employment and income generation supportive activities. So far basic social services are not provided, and the most urgent problem is the medical treatment, especially support to children, pregnant women and the disabled. Moreover, IDPs do not have access to legal support and justice services. Some of them also lost important legal/civic documentation (cases of lost property titles etc.). Many IDPs do not have access to social assistance and benefits, including retirement and child benefits.

The key problems and needs currently faced by IDPs are humanitarian, livelihoods, integration, and security challenges.

Taking this into consideration UNDP developed the Rapid Response to IDPs Issues Project (RRIDP) that would be a short-term, fast intervention planned to provide urgent support to IDPs located outside their home regions and, as such, should be considered as a precursor to a larger more long-term early recovery intervention focused on populations in post conflict zones.

In a view of the above, UNDP in the framework of implementation of Project Initiation Phase, invites applications from highly qualified and experienced Ukrainian professionals for the post of Project Associate to enhance technical performance of the project with an accent on finance, logistics and communication aspects.
