Historique

“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.”

I. Background

Context of the REDD+ initiative:

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.

Committed to the cause, 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:

•  Presidential Regulation regarding the establishment of a REDD+ Agency and governance of REDD+ in Indonesia is issued;
•  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, partially trialled, 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; and
•  Successful 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 Assistantd with sustainable economic development and poverty reduction.

Context of this TOR:

The second phase of the Indonesian-Norway partnership will commence following the establishment of the REDD+ Agency and its technical units, the Funding Instrument (FREDDI) and the Measuring, Reporting and Verification (MRV). As the mandate of the REDD+ Task Force ended in June 2013, a REDD+ Special Team (Tim Khusus REDD+, Timsus) has been established by UKP-PPP to oversee the transition period required for the REDD+ Agency to be formally established and operational. This Special Team is assigned to ensure that those activities initiated by the REDD+ Task Force are either completed or further advanced with clear milestones and actions plans that will enable a seamless hand-over to the REDD+ Agency when it is operational. The mandate of this REDD+ Special Team will end in December 2013.

Having established the REDD+ Body based on Presidential Decree 62/2013, President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono has appointed Head of Badan REDD+ on December 2013. Soon after this appointment, the Head of Badaan REDD+ requested UNDP REDD+ PMU to support establishment of proper office for the Body to run its day to day operations.

As further follow up to the request, REDD+ PMU decided to form a special team led by a Common Services Associate to take overall responsiblility in the office establishment as well as ensuring its proper technical General and Administration process during the establishment as well as the future maintanance.

Under the overall guidance and supervision of the  Common Services Associate, the Common Service Assistant (CSA) assists in providing  overall administration and execution of varied and inter-related operational and logistical activites in establishing the REDD+ Body office, ensuring high quality and accuracy of work. The CSA promotes a client, quality and results-oriented approach.
 
The CSA works in close collaboration with the Operations and Programme staff to exchange information and ensure consistent service delivery. He/She will also work on the day to day basis within the Operations team on Common Service matters. The interaction with the supervisor will take place on a daily basis, thus allowing continuous performance monitoring against the work plan.
