Duration of Assignment:From

 II. Background Information
The project
“Technical Support  to Rehabilitation and Reconstruction Completion and
Continuation Coordination” (TS-R2C3) is a transformation of the
“Technical  Assistance to BRR” (TA to BRR) designed to support the GOI
through Bappenas in coordination of continuing reconstruction activities post
BRR closure in April 2009, that has been extended to December 2012. This
project is an extension of the previous Phase I and II of TA to BRR Project
2008 – 2009. Phase I focused on supporting BRR’s technical capacity
requirements during its institutional evolution, while Phase II supported the
agency’s requirements for technical capacity during its final year of operation
to conclude its mandate effectively and accountably. During Phase III, TS-R2C3
will supplement the technical and operational capacity of BAPPENAS to fulfil
its mandate of coordinating national and international resources, planning and
monitoring the rehabilitation and reconstruction activities in Aceh and Nias.
The TS-R2C3
immediate development objective is to “strengthen the capacity of GOI national
and local government agencies to manage and implement gender sensitive, pre and
post-disaster recovery planning processes and practices based on disaster risk
reduction principles”. The TS -R2C3 project will be implemented in the period
of 2010-2012 by the National Development Planning Agency (Bappenas) and will
engage a strategic partnership with GOI agencies at the national, provincial
and district levels with support from UNDP.

The Phase III of the Technical Assistance to Rehabilitation and
Reconstruction Completion and Continued Coordination (TS to R2C3) project is now entering to the
final year of its implementation. The request for amendment of the project
timeframe from 30 June 2012 to 31 December 2012 has been approved by MDF in
January 2012. The need to extend the project is based on the continued
relevance and importance of the ongoing activities for Phase III, and the need
to strengthen and consolidate the current efforts. The focus of the extension
is on strengthening the support to BAPPENAS to fulfil its responsibilities
outlined in the Continuation of Reconstruction Activities for Aceh and Nias
2010 – 2012 Action Plan. During 2011, TS to R2C3 has observed a variety of
complex challenges and increasingly high demands for support from the remaining
21 foreign grants/loan funded projects. Given this, it was determined that
current strategies and efforts need to be accelerated especially in light of
the approaching deadline of the MDF closure in 2012.
With
the planned closure of the project, the exit strategy aims to strengthen
government capacities for planning, budgeting, programming and implementation.
To support the replication of good practices and lessons learned, the project is
seeking to actively capture knowledge generated and share the results with
policy makers, planners and development specialists.
