I. Organizational Context

REDD+ (Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and forest Degradation) has gained traction in the international climate change dialogue and has become an eminent priority for Indonesia because deforestation and forest degradation still represent a major source of Green House Gas (GHG) emissions, in addition to hindering human development and causing environmental problems in the country. Most of Indonesia’s GHG emissions are related to land degradation, inappropriate land uses, and land conversion.

Indonesia has played a leading and continually expanding role in addressing the global climate change challenge. At the G20 Summit in Pittsburgh on September 2009, President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono committed to a 26% emission reduction target by 2020, and 41% emission reduction with international support, making Indonesia the first large developing country to do so. It is widely acknowledged that REDD+ will play an important role to support Indonesia’s voluntary commitment to reduce its emissions. To deliver significant reductions a set of clear targets, tailored strategies, policies and institutions will be required.

The Norway Indonesia Climate Change Partnership

In response to the President’s firm commitment, on May 26th, 2010, the Governments of Indonesia and Norway signed a Letter of Intent (LoI), outlining a USD 1 billion programme of “Cooperation on reducing greenhouse gas emissions form deforestation and forest degradation”. This ambitious programme will be implemented in three phases, namely “Preparation”, with five key results to be achieved mostly by the end of 2010; “Transformation”, involving substantial capacity building and a single-province pilot over the period 2011-2013; and “Contributions for verified emission reductions”, from 2014 onwards, for national level implementation of measures to reduce emissions. This is a crucial programme aiming to reduce deforestation and land degradation in Indonesia’s substantial forest cover, together with associated Green House Gas emissions.

Under the terms of the REDD+ Partnership with Norway, Indonesia also agreed to establish a pilot project to trial (learning-by-doing) the different requirements of REDD+ implementation. Central Kalimantan on the island of Borneo was selected by the President as the pilot province for REDD+ Indonesia along with eight other priority provinces where REDD+ will be implemented sequentially. In September 2011 an MoU between the REDD+ Task Force and the Governor of Central Kalimantan was signed, and since December that year preparations have begun to establish the mechanisms necessary to trial the many new paradigms, regulations, financial mechanisms and related safeguard protocols necessary for REDD+ implementation. 

In order to accomplish this mandate, the REDD+ Pilot Province Working Group is seeking to engage a Project Coordinator to manage the implementation of REDD+ activities in the Central Kalimantan pilot province.

Under the direct supervision of the REDD+ Liaison Advisor to Pilot and Partner Provinces, the Project Coordinator  is responsible for operational activities pertaining to the implementation of the Indonesia REDD+ Project as outlined under the Indonesia-Norway Partnership. He/She is responsible for coordinating and managing activities set out in the Project Document,  ensuring that those activities meet the key performance indicators set. The Project Coordinator provides guidance and oversight to the tasks identified by the Liaison Advisor to Pilot and Partner Provinces for effective implementation of REDD+ priorities in Central Kalimantan.

The Project Coordinator supervises the Liaison Associate for SekBer and TC Palangkaraya and leads some project personnel and coordinates activities of other staff.  The Project Coordinator works in close collaboration with all stakeholders in Central Kalimantan to ensure their informed participation in the consultative process.
