Antecedentes

The Low Emissions Capacity Building (LECB) Project is one of the leading activities to promote Green Economy Transition in Indonesia. The overall objective of the LECB project is to build capacities of national and subnational government institutions to design and develop finance-ready NAMAs and associated country-owned Measurement, Reporting and Verification (MRV) systems in the transport sector and a selected industrial sub-sector.

This objective will be achieved through the following three outputs:

  • Green economy approaches integrated into the RAN-GRK and RPJMN as a basis to prepare the country for NAMAs and associated MRV Systems in a selected industrial sub-sector and the transport sector;
  • Finance-ready NAMAs designed and developed in the selected industrial sub-sector and the transport sector for the Greater Jakarta area;
  • MRV system developed for the NAMAs.

The project is chaired by UKP4 (the President’s Delivery Unit for Development Monitoring and Oversight) as executing agency and co-chaired by BAPPENAS (the Indonesian National Development Planning Agency).

To support and accelerate implementation of the UNDP LECB Indonesia project, there is a need for additional capacity to support field research and survey to collect and to input data on development of green economy indicators. In this context, the Research Support Specialist is recruited.
