Background

“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.”

I. Organizational Context

With a strong collaboration with the Government of Indonesia (Bappenas and MoHA), UNDP is developing a decentralization project titled “Provincial Governance Strengthening Programme”  (PGSP) to assist the government to address some of the key decentralization challenges. Designed in 2009 and implemented until 2013, PGSP works with both national and provincial governments, as well as with district governments in Bangka Belitung, Gorontalo, and Nusa Tenggara Timur.


Through PGSP, UNDP supports the Government of Indonesia in re-defining and strengthen the roles and functions of provincial government through effective participatory policy making, regional development planning, and public service delivery, leading to the realization of national and local development objectives and the improvement of the quality of life of the poorest. This project offers technical assistance to resolve these remaining internal issues. Through policy reformulation and implementation, a focus on the provision of public services, and the participation of a wider group of stakeholders, including non-state actors, PGSP will address both the supply and demand sides of governance.

The Project Management Unit (PMU) based in Jakarta is designed to lead the overall implementation of the program (including the technical assistance and tools component and the policy development component) and provide timely quality support for area teams based at the province level. The PMU consists of teams responsible to achieve the following key outputs: 1) Enhanced policy and regulatory framework that further clarifies and strengthens roles and functions of provincial government; 2) Strengthened provincial government capacity in economic development planning and budgeting; and 3) Enhanced public service delivery through governance innovations, implementation of minimum service standards and public complaint mechanisms.

Under the guidance and supervision of the Operations Coordinator,the Admin Assistant will provide admin services, resource utilization and management.Admin Assistant will promote the UNDP rules and regulations,and regulations of the Government of Indonesia.
