Job Description

BACKGROUND

“UNDP is the UN's global development network, an organization advocating for change and connecting countries to knowledge, experience and resources to help people build a better life. We are on the ground in about 170 countries and territories, including Indonesia, working to eradicate poverty while protecting the planet. UNDP supports implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In Indonesia, UNDP works with the Government to integrate SDGs into national plan and policies.”

SDGs in Indonesia

The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the corresponding 17 goals that comprise the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is a promissory note, negotiated and signed by 193 governments, written to people and the planet. Agenda 2030 seeks to eradicate poverty in all its forms and dimensions, including extreme poverty, whilst strengthening universal peace and freedom, and improving the environmental outlook of the planet.

SDGs are universal in nature and have a wider scope than its predecessor, the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). Indonesia played an important role in shaping the post-2015 development agenda and the current list of SDGs. Moreover, the proposed goals and targets align well with the growth and development priorities of the Government of Indonesia (GoI) stated on the 2015-2019 RPJMN. The GoI is committed to pursue the implementation of the SDGs both at national and sub-national level. In July 2017, the GoI enacted the Presidential Decree No. 59 Year 2017 on the implementation of the SDGs in Indonesia.

SDGs Localization in Riau province

UNDP partners with Riau provincial and district governments to implement the initiative of ‘SDGs Localization in Riau province‘, with supports from Tanoto Foundation. The objective of the initiative is to increase the coordination, coherence, efficiency, and effectiveness of the support for SDGs localization by all stakeholders, including state and non-state actors i.e., sub-national government, private sector, philanthropy, academics, civil society organizations, media/press, youth, and other relevant stakeholders.

The initiative commenced in 2016, and the first phase concluded in early 2018. The succeeding second phase of the initiative runs for two years (2018-2020), during which UNDP provides technical assistance to Riau government, mainly through supporting Provincial and District Development Planning Agencies (Bappeda Provinsi & Bappeda Kabupaten).

With supports from UNDP, Riau is the first province in Indonesia that established the inclusive SDGs Coordination Team that involved non-state actors, as mandated by the Presidential Decree No. 59/2017. Riau is ready to launch the Sub-national Action Plan on SDGs (Rencana Aksi Daerah/RAD SDGs) in July 2018, and potentially will be the first province to do so. Through technical assistance from UNDP, Riau is steps ahead than other provinces in terms of integrating the SDGs agenda into local development planning, where it has successfully become the center of excellence for SDGs localization in Indonesia. Ministry of National Development Planning (Bappeda) has promoted Riau as good example for SDGs localization and recommended other provinces and districts to study from Riau on how the provincial level establishing an inclusive structure of SDGs governance, developing SDGs indicator and preparing SDGs action plan. During the first phase of the initiative, at least five provinces (Central Java, West Java, Lampung, South Sumatra and Banten), one city (Batam) and one ministry which is the Ministry of Culture and Human Development which visited and studied about SDGs in Riau province.
