Antecedentes

UNDP Indonesia's mission is to be an agent for change in the human and social development of Indonesia. We, the UNDP Country Office (CO), aim to be a bridge between Indonesia and all donors as well as maintaining our status 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

I. Organizational Context

UNDP is assisting the Government of Indonesia (GoI) in strengthening adherence to human rights standards and reforming the legal and justice sector as they are widely recognized as one of the conditions for sustainable human development. Access to justice is at the center of institutional reform, enhancing democratic governance and the functioning of the rule of law in Indonesia since it creates the conditions that enable individuals to resolve legitimate grievances quickly and effectively and under law, rather than arbitrary or discriminatory exercise of discretion.

The Human Rights, Legal and Justice Sector Reform Programme (HRLJSR cluster) is managing three projects namely Legal Empowerment and Assistance for the Disadvantaged (LEAD) and Strengthening Access to Justice for Peace and Development in Aceh (Aceh Justice project). The cluster also currently develops two pipeline projects namely support to improve internal oversight mechanism of Judiciary, Attorney General’s Office and Police and support to strengthen the capacity of National Human Rights (NHRIs).

At the current stage, the most important project under the Cluster’s management is the LEAD Project. The project objective is to increase access to justice in Indonesia for disadvantaged, vulnerable, and marginalized people and thereby contribute to alleviating poverty and improving governance. LEAD provides grant support to civil society organizations in three targeted provinces in Indonesia namely Central Sulawesi, Southeast Sulawesi and North Maluku. At the national level, LEAD is supporting National Planning and Development Agency (BAPPENAS) the development as well as future implementation of the National Strategy on Access to Justice which was recently launched by BAPPENAS.

Funding for the first phase LEAD will end in December 2010, and the first phase operational closure will also take place between the end of 2010 and the beginning of 2011. Currently, LEAD Project is developing the second phase project document, and the program office is seeking to mobilize new resources for the period of 2011 to 2015. UNDP support through the second phase of the LEAD project is needed to ensure that the National Strategy on Access to Justice, particularly its action plan, can be implemented by GoI both at the national and local level.

Under the guidance and direct supervision of the HRLJSR Programme Manager in UNDP, the Programme Officer is responsible for the management, development, and quality assurance of projects under the Human Rights, Legal, and Justice Sector Reform Cluster. The Progrmme Officer works in close collaboration with the operations, program, and project teams to ensure that the activities of the projects are in line with the project plan and budget.

The Programme Officer formulates, manages, and evaluates project activities within his/her portfolio, provides policy advice services, and ensures sound financial management of the projects. He or she is also responsible for supporting various monitoring or reporting exercises and program development in the Country Office.
