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.

49594 - PROJECT ASISSTANT - Sustainable Development Finance (SDF) - 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.

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.”

At the G20 Summit Meeting in Pittsburgh, in September 2009, Indonesia has committed to establish the necessary policies and measures, including related required instruments that would cut national emissions between 26% and 41% by 2020 from a “business as usual “ situation, through voluntary mitigation actions and with international support. These targets are elaborated in Indonesia’s National Action Plan to Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions (RAN GRK). The RAN-GRK is a working document that provides the foundation for various ministries / institutions and local governments for the implementation of mitigation actions. The purpose of RAN-GRK is twofold. It provides an overview of the national potential for mitigation actions, and it initiates the design of programmes and actions to reduce emissions

In the context of strengthening government capacity in implementing sustainable low emission development, the Government of Indonesia with support from UNDP is launching two new projects Green Fiannce for Development (GFD) and  Sustainable Development Finance (SDF).
The both projects focuses on the greening of the budget process. The project builds on the Mitigation Fisca Framework (MFF) prepared by the Fiscal Policy Office of the Ministry of Finance with UNDP support. The project targets three themtic areas: climate change mitigation, adaptation/disaster risk reduction and biodiversity. The aim of the project  is to strengthen the capacities of the Government of Indonesia to green the budget by focusing on the development and implementation of green fiscal frameworks for the RAN GRK (climate change mitigation), RAN API (Climate adaptation), and IBSAP (biodiversity). The GFD and SDF projects are implemented in close coordination under UNDP Assurance.

This position is located primarily in project management unit under the overall guidance of the Project Executive Board and direct supervision from Deputy National Project Director and Project Officer, the Project Assistant is responsible in areas such as finance, administration, personnel and procurement with respect to both the operations of the secretariat and implementation of project activities, responsible for effective delivery of financial services, transparent and accountable use of financial resources; and management of the funds under the projects. The Project Assistant works closely with the Operation and Finance sections of UNDP as well finance/administrative staff in Fiscal Policy Agency Ministry of Finance.

Senior Specialist on Conflict Resolution - Jakarta

Context of the REDD+ initiative

Indonesia is the third largest emitter of carbon dioxide (CO2) and the world’s largest emitter from agriculture, forestry and other land use. Over the past five years, Indonesia’s annual deforestation rate has averaged around 1 million hectares, which contributes to an estimated 87 percent of Indonesia’s annual emissions. In response to this situation, in 2009, President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, made a voluntary commitment to the world to reduce emissions as much as 26 percent under a business-as-usual scenario or up to 41 percent with international support by 2020.

According to the Second National Communication from Indonesia to the UNFCCC, Indonesia is expected to emit around 2.9 million metric tons (gigatons) by 2020 under the business-as-usual scenario. A commitment to reduce that amount by 26 percent would mean a reduction of 0.8 gigatons, while 41 percent would amount to a reduction of 1.2 gigatons. A reduction from an expected 2.9 to 1.7 gigatons by 2020 is a challenging commitment for a country aiming to maintain its 7 percent annual growth rate. Nevertheless, this commitment has been translated into a comprehensive National Action Plan known as RAN-GRK (PP 61/2011).

The National Action Plan for the Reduction of Green-house Gas Emissions (RAN-GRK) estimates that 87 percent of the emission-reduction target – approximately 1 gigaton – relates directly to the forestry and peat land sectors and, to address this, the government has adopted an incentive mechanism to improve management of the country’s vast forest resources while supporting climate-change mitigation. This mechanism, known as REDD+ (Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation), has five primary objectives: (a) reduction of deforestation; (b) reduction of forest degradation; (c) conservation of carbon stocks; (d) sustainable forest management; and (e) enhancing carbon stocks.

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 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.

Context of this ToR

One of the important issues in the governance of forests and peat land is the lack of institutional capacity for conflict resolution, especially in the case of land -based conflict resolution. These issues include the weak legislation, low capacity of the related institutions, and lack of coordination among ministries/institutions and local governments involved in the conflict resolution. The conflicts make legal certainty over land ownership difficult to realize. In the end, it is difficult to provide legal protection for good implementation of conservation programs, business activities and other activities undertaken by the government, communities and employers. Thus, in the context of REDD+, the absence of certainty directly affect the rate of deforestation/forest degradation and peat land that are still difficult to decrease.

Owing to this condition, UKP-PPP and BP-REDD + intend to prepare a road map in order to strengthen the institutional settlement of land conflicts in Indonesia. With the Roadmap, it is expected that we are able to map various institutions that have similar tasks in resolving the conflict in the best way.

A visibility study should be initiated, and from this study the roadmap will be produced. The conflicts we are focusing on are the ones related to National Parks and the cases of forest gazettement. Both of these activities will involve the process of verification and recognition from the third parties. From this process it is expected that we could obtain learning materials and concrete impacts which give positive contribution to the conflicts.

The five areas of national parks chosen for the field test are Tesso Nilo National Park, Kerinci Seblat National Park, Kutai Timur National Park, Sebangau National Park, and Kayan Mentarang National Park. As for the forest gazettement, the conflict resolution will be tested on the mechanism of claim and verification in Barito Selatan.

The purposes of resolution conflict program are to give contribution to the conflict resolution in five national parks and to assist the completion of forest gazettement in Barito Selatan; and to develop roadmap to strengthen some institutions and their capacities in order to resolve the land conflict in Indonesia, in relations with REDD+.

Objectives of Assignment:

Developing a mechanism which will support the government in handling conflicts involving communities;Developing materials for training and mentoring activities to increase the capacity of officials who are related to the conflict resolution;Developing the roadmap in order to strengthen the institutional settlement of land conflicts in Indonesia

The candidate is expected to travel to some locations in the area of Sebangau and Kayang Mentarang National Parks, and some areas in the province of Central Kalimantan and East Kalimantan.

The details of travel are as follows:

Malinau (East Kalimantan): one time. Duration of travel: seven days;Palangka Raya (Central Kalimantan): one time. Duration of travel: seven days.

Internship for Environment Unit ( For Nationality Indonesia only) - Jakarta

Palm oil and its derivatives are part of thousands of products across the globe today. One can find it in biodiesel, soap, doughnuts as well as soap, to mention only a few. Since 1990, palm oil consumption has quintupled worldwide. The demand in Asia, where palm oil is used in cooking oil, accounts for a $44 billion industry. Indonesia is the world’s largest producer of palm oil, with a forecasted annual growth in production of 10%. Early 2013, exports from Indonesia hit a five-year high.

In 2012, the total plantation area for palm oil production in Indonesia was estimated to account for approximately 7.65 million hectares generating 22 million tons of palm oil. Indonesia aims to double its current palm oil production to 40 million tons by 2020. Estimates vary how much land this will require vary widely, ranging from 5-20 million additional hectares. This expansion threatens remaining tropical forest and peat land.

However, there are opportunities for production increases through productivity gains and use of degraded lands. The need to balance growth and economic potential and maintaining healthy ecosystems and communities is fundamental to secure the future of both forests in Indonesia and improved livelihoods through economic growth.
The government recently established a national certification scheme called ISPO, which requires producers to comply with existing regulations for palm oil production, environmental management, responsibility to workers and social communities. UNDP supports the operationalization and optimization of ISPO, as it covers all producers in Indonesia to ensure compliance with the Indonesian legal system. RSPO (Roundtable for Sustainable Palm Oil) is also important in that it provides best practice standards. Therefore collaboration between these two schemes is crucial for the sustainable future of the Indonesian palm oil sector.

The Sustainable Palm Oil Initiative (SPO)

SPO is a major public private partnership that supports the sustainable production of palm oil while minimizing adverse social and environmental impacts. SPO aims to promote sustainable palm oil by reducing deforestation and providing support to a structural change in the sector. The five year programme is active from 2014 until 2018.

Based on the baseline assessment and extensive stakeholder consultations carried out in 2011-2013, the programme aims to contribute to sustainable palm oil production through a focus on the following strategic areas:
A. Ensure palm oil stakeholder in Indonesia are well coordinated through National Palm Oil Platform:
1. Facilitate coordination of palm oil stakeholders through

Government involvement to drive institutionalization and sustainabilityPrivate sector engagementNGO, local communities, smallholder organizations

    2. Provide access to government policy making (recommendations to ISPO and other underlying regulations)

B. Strengthen smallholders to improve sustainable livelihoods and agricultural practices
1. Provide training to smallholders on productivity, environment, fairer prices, management and ISPO certification
2. Strengthen local government agricultural extension worker systems to ensure sustainability and scaling up of 
successful solutions
3. Work with smallholder cooperatives and larger plantations to reduce expansion into forests

C. Reduce deforestation:
1. Accelerate land swaps and use of degraded land for palm oil production through legal/policy development, leading to
reduced use of fertile forest lands.
2. Mainstream High Conservation Value (HCV) and High Carbon Stock (HCS) into spatial planning
3. Strengthen the case for legally protecting HCV/HCS lands within concessions
4. Measure/Manage GreenHouse Gas emissions

D. Improve land tenure and mediation mechanism:
1. Provide support to independent palm oil smallholders to obtain legal land status, which is key to certification under
RSPO (Roundtable for Sustainable Palm Oil) and ISPO
2. Strengthen local conflict mediation systems – leading to more effective use of land in the area

E. Operationalize the national certification scheme to foster a sustainable palm oil sector
1. Support ISPO operationalization and optimizing of guidelines so ISPO can effectively address socio-economic and
environmental problems
2. Support the development of a third party auditing system for ISPO to ensure international credibility

UNDP would like to hire an intern to support the development of the SPO Initiative on programmatic and operational fronts. Guided by the head of the Environment Unit UNDP Indonesia, the intern will work closely with other SPO team members (national project manager, environment expert, smallholder expert, platform coordinator and communication officer) to contribute to the full operationalization of the national palm oil platform, palm oil vs. deforestation debate, sustainable commodity certification schemes, and private public partnerships to support smallholders.

46951 - Senior Technical Support Coordinator (STSC) GFATM (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 has one of the fastest growing HIV/AIDS epidemics in Asia.  It is ranked fifth on the list of high burden countries for tuberculosis (TB), and has approximately 2,783,649 malaria sufferers (WHO 2011). Since 2003, the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria (GFATM) has committed US$ 693,158,140 in funds to support Indonesia to combat AIDS, TB, and malaria, and to engage in Health System Strengthening (HSS).  For the period of January 2014-2017, GFATM has allocated USD 302 M for Indonesia

The current signed grant agreement for Malaria and HSS will end in December 2014, followed by AIDS in June 2015, and TB in June 2016. In the meantime, in early 2014, the GFATM has launched the New Funding Model (NFM) that provides implementers with flexible timing, better alignment with national strategies and predictability on the level of funding available. This model is completely different from the previous rounds-based model, which Indonesia is familiar with.
In the NFM, the Global Fund has incorporated mandatory Counterpart Financing (CF) requirements for its financial support. Applicant countries are required to demonstrate that government contribution to the national disease control programme reaches the minimum level threshold. Indonesia is considered as an Upper Lower Middle Income (U-LMI) country.  It has to show at least 40% contribution to the same national disease control programme.

To further incentivize additional co-investments by the government in disease control programmes, the Global Fund has incorporated ‘Willingness-To-Pay’ (WTP) as a qualitative factor for adjusting the indicative funding. The indicative funding amount shared with the country will include a 15% allocation for WTP that can be availed by applicant countries based on additional government commitments for the next phase. If government commitments are not sufficient to meet the threshold requirements for all of the disease control programmes that are supported by the Global Fund, the country will not be able to access the WTP allocation.

Moreover, countries with high co-infection rates of TB and HIV will have to submit a single concept that presents integrated and joint programming for the two diseases. This condition brings special challenge for Indonesia as each disease has a different period of on-going GFATM grant and different long established programme management system that runs vertically from central to district to health service providers.

Given this situation, the period of May-December 2014 is critical for the four TWGs to prepare a new concept note that is in line with the NFM requirements, to be submitted in time to the GFATM.

Meanwhile, as of December 2013, the grant performance of 6 out of 10 PRs did not meet expectations.  50% of them had lower performance compared to the previous performance rating. Therefore, support for CCM in oversight function as well as for PRs in management and programme delivery can not be overlooked.

For years, UNDP support services have been part of a joint effort by the UN Country Team to support the Government of Indonesia in the successful implementation of its GFATM grants. UNDP and GFATM have reached an agreement on their working relationship since 2003. Based on the recently closed MTAF project , UNDP learned that facilitation for GFATM grant management is still needed, more so with the upcoming NFM, the inadequate performance of the PRs and the nascent stage of the Health Consultant Committee (Komite Pendayagunanaan Konsultan Kesehatan – KPKK) . 

A number of international development partners (i.e. UNAIDS, WHO, USAID, DFAT, UNDP and UNICEF) have for many years provided assistance to the GFATM grant management in Indonesia. At present, with the challenges that the CCM and PRs are facing in their downgraded ratings and the roll-out of NFM, stronger coordination and better structured support by international development partners are urgently needed. Many agencies have provided support separately and this leads to the need to map out and communicate the gap. Therefore, UNDP plans to revive the coordination platform and dedicate a senior technical support coordinator (STSC) to focus on this. UNDP intends to strengthen partnership and collaboration among development partners, facilitate an effective process for channelling and mobilizing existing (technical and management) support to TWGs and PRs and address grant development and management issues, with possibility of developing a pooled fund mechanism too.

The Government and UNDP have identified six priorities that the CCM and PRs need to pay attention to in the next 18 months: 1) HSS concept note writing, 2) AIDS grant reprogramming for extension period of July-December 2015, 3) Joint TB-HIV concept note development, 4) Facilitating Technical Assistance in improving the achievement of targeted indicators for HIV PRs or other PRs with B rating, 5) Facilitating grant management support to PRs, including on how to manage and improve SR grant performance, and 6) Facilitating PR’s immediate response to issues raised in management letters.
Under the overall guidance and on behalf of the Programme Manager PR & MDG (PM PR&MDG), the Senior Technical Support Coordinator has the authority to run the project on a day-to-day basis. The project manager is responsible for making the day-to-day decisions on project implementation and ensures that the project produces the results specified in the project document to the required standards of quality and within the specified time and cost. The primary reporting responsibility of the incumbent is to the Programme Manager PR & MDG as the primary supervisor. Additionally, for matters related to technical support to PRs/TWGs – the CCM Secretariate  will be consulted fully.

Technical Specialist for REDD+ ( International) - Jakarta

Organizational Context

Climate change is one of the largest challenges facing Indonesia in terms of both mitigation and adaptation. For mitigation, successful emissions reductions from land use, land use change and forestry (LULUCF) will benefit not only the country and provide opportunities to protect the country’s vast biodiversity, but significantly contribute to global climate change mitigation efforts. On mitigation, UNDP supports the implementation of the partnership between the Government of Indonesia and Norway for Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest and Peatland Degradation (REDD+). The partnership focuses on quantifiable reduction of GHG emissions by 2020 and addressing underlying root causes, including private sector engagement and supporting tenurial rights and livelihoods of forest dependent communities. The Partnership is formalized by a Letter of Intent which pledges up to one billion dollar disbursed as performance-based payment for verified emission reduction. UNDP has supported the initial phase of the LoI. Under this phase, Norway has contributed a total amount of approx. USD40m to Indonesia. The second phase – now in preparation – amounts to USD160m; the final phase is estimated at $800 million. UNDP is also supporting Indonesia in establishment of financing mechanisms to prepare the country for long-term investment – domestic and foreign – that meet the twin objectives of climate change mitigation and economic growth.

With the establishment of the REDD+ Agency, the appointment of its head, the enlistment of a core team of staff, and the initiation of activities to enter Phase 2 of the Letter of Intent with Norway, both the Government and UNDP are gearing up for large scale REDD+ programming activities in Indonesia. There are many critical challenges ahead for the REDD+ Agency and in-coming staff including the coordination of complex inter-ministerial partnerships and the sequencing of a wide range of important and time-sensitive activities to achieve results under the Letter of Intent. In addition to the programmes and activities of the Agency, a range of initiatives will be undertaken. These include: the strengthening of the national REDD+ Funding Instrument and the REDD+ Agency secretariat, the expansion of the current Knowledge Management initiative into an advanced Data and Geospatial Centre, and a series of campaigns to address cross-sector issues including gender, poverty and the marginalisation of communities adversely affected by inadequate land governance. This multi-faceted approach is required to ensure the establishment of a viable REDD+ model in Indonesia and that fundamentals behind the current REDD+ partnership remain solid and on track to achieve a national contribution-for-verified emissions by Phase 3 (up to USD800 million). Achievements reached during Phase 1 and those expected during Phase 2, are the cornerstone results for the REDD+ Agency’s preparedness to enter Phase 3.

For UNDP, the REDD+ programme and related climate change initiatives currently account for the largest share of the CO portfolio. The REDD+ project alone is expected to grow into a US$100 million project for the CO, with sizeable amounts of resources being mobilized for other related initiatives.

To assist the CO to provide critical management and backstopping support to the REDD+ programme and to support cross-project synergy and collaboration, the services of a Technical Specialist for REDD+ is required.

Under the guidance of the Head of Unit/ Assistant Country Director, the Technical Specialist supports the development and management of the UNDP REDD+ programme and related climate change projects. The main role is to contribute to the day-to-day management of the ongoing REDD+ programme, provide key programmatic guidance and expertise, nurture existing partnerships and forge new ones with a broad range of stakeholders – including civil society and the private sector – and strengthen the partnership between the Government of Indonesia and Norway. In addition, the Technical Specialist will also be expected to oversee the programme monitoring and other relevant operational tasks.

45864 - PROJECT ASSOCIATE E-PASS (for Indonesian nationality only) - Jakarta

Duration of Initial Contract :Sulawesi (17.46 million ha) is the world’s 11th largest island that has a remarkable globally significant diversity of terrestrial flora and fauna with an impressive variety of forest ecosystems, and supports high rates of endemism and species-level biodiversity. Despite such efforts, Sulawesi’s biodiversity remains severely threatened and fast degrading due to a number of human-induced threats. Protection and management of existing PAs has not been adequate to prevent extensive encroachment and damage within PA boundaries, whilst natural areas beyond PA boundaries have been even more rapidly degraded as a result of logging, conversion, mining, fire and hunting. The long-term solution to conserving Sulawesi’s biodiversity is an improved PA system that is well integrated into its surrounding landscape, with the capacities and financial resources to safeguard biodiversity from existing and future threats. Baseline activities, although significant, are deemed insufficient to achieve the above solution. The project objective is to strengthen the effectiveness and financial sustainability of Sulawesi’s PA system to respond to existing threats to globally significant biodiversity.
