Antecedentes

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.

While women have made great gains in Indonesia, there still exist numerous barriers to their democratically held right to participate in both politics and government. UNDP Indonesia developed a project entitled “Women’’s Participation and Representation in Governance in Indonesia (SWARGA)” to address the women’s problem in politics and bureaucracy through an analysis of the challenges and opportunities and a series of policy recommendations.

Under the Access of Justice, Participation and Representation Programme, the SWARGA project builds on previous UNDP efforts to document and analyze the general situation of Women’s participation in politics and government in Indonesia. The project which will run from mid-2012 to 2015 has four components:
1.    Parliament that will focus its works on strengthening the role of Women Members and networking between the Women Parliamentarian Caucus members in national and sub-national levels.
2.    Civic Education that will focus its works in mainstreaming gender into civic education center curriculum. This component will also responsible to deliver trainings to civil society and the Women Parliamentarian Caucus members.
3.    Civil Service that will focus its works on placing women in government as public discourse. This component will have a strong conscious awareness raising and capacity building element. Through this component, UNDP will also facilitate the Ministry for Administrative Reform to engender leadership training curriculum which is an inseparable part for promotion into high ranking echelons.
4.    Knowledge Management that will focus on developing database on women in politics and government. This database will provide a foundation for improved data collection and management.

Related to the component number 1 (one) the Capacity Development Specialist will be responsible for the design and quality of results to the implementation of the capacity development of Women Member of Parliament (MPs) regarding Gender Mainstreaming issues at both regional and national levels. She/he is also responsible for the implementation of capacity development in a timely manner in accordance with the agreed timeframe within the SWARGA project. This position is under overall guidance of the National Project Manager.
