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.

Expert National en Suivi Evaluation, Projet de la Résilience aux Changements Climatiques ( Uniquement pour les Candidats de Nationalité Malienne) - Bamako

Le Mali subit les effets néfastes des changements  climatiques qui perturbent les activités  de développement  dans ces régions. Le caractère  aléatoire de la pluviométrie  se manifeste dans le début de l’installation de la période d’hivernage, dans   la durée de celle-ci ainsi que dans sa répartition spatiale et temporelle.  En plus, le pays connait une augmentation  de la fréquence et des intensités des inondations ainsi qu’un accroissement de l’évaporation et de l’assèchement des zones humides et autres plans d’eau en raison des fortes températures et de forts vents. Enfin, la dégradation des sols et l’érosion hydrique sont permanentes, et les terres arables se réduisent progressivement à cause de la déforestation et de la désertification. Face à tous ces défis, les  groupements de producteurs féminins constituent l’une des franges le plus vulnérables.
Pour renforcer la résilience  aux changements climatiques de ces groupes et d’autres populations vulnérables, le Mali a bénéficié de la part du Fonds pour l’Environnement Mondial (FEM) un  fonds d’un montant  d’environ 8,5 millions de $US à travers le guichet des Pays les Moins Avancés (LDCF en anglais) en vue de la mise en œuvre d’un projet.
Pour mobiliser ce financement en vue de la mise en œuvre dudit projet, le Gouvernement a sollicité l’accompagnement du PNUD. Ainsi,  des documents d’avant-projet (appelés PIF et PPG en anglais) ont  été préparés et soumis au FEM à travers le PNUD  pour permettre  la préparation d’un document de projet.
Le document de projet  préparé a été soumis au FEM qui l’a approuvé.
Le  projet est destiné  à renforcer les moyens d’existence des groupements féminins et des  autres groupes vulnérables  dans dix communes  des régions de Kayes, Koulikoro et Sikasso.
Il comprend  deux principales composantes: i) améliorer l’accès à des systèmes  d’approvisionnement et de gestion de l’eau qui résistent aux changements climatiques pour les communautés vulnérables, y compris les paysannes, pour appuyer leurs activités de subsistance ; et ii) investir dans des approches et technologies innovantes résilientes aux changements climatiques en faveur des paysannes et autres paysans pour renforcer et sécuriser la production de systèmes locaux de moyens d’existence face aux impacts des changements climatiques.
Le Programme des Nations Unies pour le Développement (PNUD) exécutera le projet dans le cadre de ses Modalités de Mise œuvre Nationale (NIM), sur une période de cinq ans à compter de la date de signature du Document de Projet.
Le partenaire de mise en œuvre au Mali est  l’Agence de l’Environnement et du Développement Durable (AEDD), qui coordonnera étroitement la conduite du projet avec les Ministères chargés de l’Agriculture, de l’Elevage, de l’Hydrologie/Environnement, de la Promotion de la Femme et de l’Enfant, ainsi qu’avec les autorités communales et régionales pour les activités au niveau local.
Le présent appel à candidature rentre dans le cadre du  recrutement du personnel de l’unité de coordination national du projet.

Chargé(e) de Dialogue National - Tunis

Après trois années de transition ponctuées par de nombreuses réformes, la Tunisie s’achemine vers une phase de consolidation démocratique. Une constitution inclusive a été élaborée et approuvée et un gouvernement consensuel, fruit d’un dialogue inclusif impulsé par la société civile, a été chargé de conduire le pays à des élections d’ici la fin de l’année, dont l’organisation est confiée à une instance indépendante (ISIE). Toute la classe politique et la société se préparent à cet évènement, qui aura valeur de test pour la transition en cours et pour le niveau de participation populaire.

Le Programme des Nations unies pour le développement accompagne cette mutation, en apportant l’appui technique, en facilitant le partage d’expériences et en mobilisant un vaste réseau de connaissances, de par le monde, au profit des acteurs institutionnels et de la société, dans son ensemble. Les leçons tirées de contextes de transition similaires montrent, en effet, que les expériences réussies sont celles qui ont su s’appuyer sur la mobilisation de tous les acteurs, y compris de la société civile, dans le cadre de processus participatifs suscitant l’adhésion réelle de la population. Le dialogue constitue, en effet, un moyen privilégié d’élargir et de consolider le consensus social sur les réformes.

Dans ce contexte, le programme d’Appui au Processus Constitutionnel et Parlementaire et au Dialogue National mené actuellement par le PNUD, prévoit de renforcer et de consolider le rôle de la société civile, dans cette phase importante de l’histoire de la Tunisie. Afin d’atteindre les objectifs assignés dans les meilleurs délais et de répondre à l’évolution du contexte social et politique, le PNUD souhaite renforcer l’équipe en charge du dialogue national par le recrutement d’un/une charge/e de communication.

En effet, les prochains mois vont être marqués par un rythme particulièrement intense et accéléré de travail du fait de l’imminence des élections et l’exécution de nombreux projets prévus au cours de cette période. Le recrutement d’un/une charge/e de communication s’avère alors nécessaire pour d’atteindre les résultats escomptés avec une visibilité pour promouvoir la valorisation des résultats pour les partenaires ainsi que pour les bailleurs de fonds.

Expert National en Développement et Stabilisation Communautaire (Ouvert Uniquement aux Candidats de Nationalité Congolaise (RDC).) - Bukavu-Sud Kivu

Dans sa mission d’appui au Gouvernement de la RDC pour la stabilisation de communautés affectées par les conflits, et à travers la nouvelle stratégie ISSSS qui entend adresser les dynamiques des conflits à la base pour mener des véritables actions de transformation , les trois agences PNUD-RDC, UN-HABITAT et OIM,  en collaboration avec l’Unite d’Appui a la Stabilisation, ont élaboré un projet conjoint integré de stabilisation du Nord Kalehe en province du Sud Kivu. Ce projet vise à répondre aux besoins immédiats de stabilisation des violences intra et intercommunautaires dans les Hauts Plateaux de Kalehe qui constituent l'épicentre des conflits fonciers et des conflits de pouvoir qui sont à la base de la création des groupes armés à caractère communautaire, qui, à leur tour, exacerbent les violences communautaires.

Dans le cadre de ce projet, trois volets seront développés, i) le dialogue communautaire,  ii) le rétablissement de l’autorité de l’Etat et iii) la création des débouchés économiques pour la réintégration durable des victimes des conflits. La coordination de ce projet conjoint, ainsi que la mise en œuvre de ce dernier volet seront assurées par le PNUD, à travers la  composante Moyens d’Existence Durables et Développement Local (MED) du PNUD du pilier Croissance Inclusive et Développement Durable (CIDD), de la province du Sud Kivu.  Pour la mise en œuvre de ces activités et le suivi évaluation sur terrain, le PNUD recrute un Expert (e) national(e) en développement et stabilisation communautaire qui sera basé à Bukavu (Sud-Kivu), avec des missions régulières sur terrain (axe Minova-Numbi-Ziralo) .
