The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) is currently
implementing a project Building Transformative Policy & Financing
Frameworks to Increase Investment in Biodiversity Management (BIOFIN)
that requires the services of an individual as described below:
Title: Public and Private Finance Expert
Duty Station: Home
based
Expected Places
of Travel (if applicable): Jakarta, West
Java, West Papua, Jambi, South-East Sulawesi
Duration of
Assignment: 30 October 2014 – 31 March 2015 (Max. 100 days)
Scope of
work and Responsibilities:
The
Expert will be responsible to implement the BIOFIN process at the national
level and to complete BIOFIN Workbook Part 1c: Public and Private Expenditure
and Effectiveness Trends including following tasks:
1. Collect
and analyse overall national and state budgets and expenditures related to
biodiversity for the past full 6 years for which data exist. This analysis should include all medium-term
strategic plans, annual budgets, annual audits (for expenditure), government
statistics and any other sources of public sector financial data available. The
study should also include an analysis of the National Targets of Indonesia
Biodiversity Strategic and Action Plans (IBSAP) from 2010-2014. The calculations should include a comparison
with the total government budget, total government expenditure, foreign loans
and grants, and gross domestic product based on existing government figures and
data from national and state statistics bureaus;
2. Collect
and analyse national and state level private and non-profit expenditures
related to biodiversity for the past full 6 years for which data exist (the
same years as the public expenditure review).
This analysis should include all major ODA assistance, local and
national NGOs, and large scale environmental projects implemented by private
companies including mining, agriculture, construction and other large private
initiatives.
3. Analyse
baseline Public and Private biodiversity-related expenditures collected in the
above tasks and categorize these expenditures according to the strategies and
targets of the revised Indonesia Biodiversity Strategic and Action Plans
(IBSAP) and the 5 categories of Aichi targets (biodiversity mainstreaming and
sustainable use strategies; protection strategies; restoration strategies;
access and benefits sharing strategies; and implementation strategies.) with
reference to the results of Workbooks 1a and 1b. Specific activities should
include: Conducting
a thorough review of public and private biodiversity finance actors, agents,
and investors and reach consensus through peer review discussions within the
steering committee; Identifying
the specific divisions; the relevant cost codes, cost centres or line items;
and the total budget, biodiversity-related budget, total actual expenditures,
total biodiversity expenditures for each selected finance actor; Assess
effectiveness (for significant finance actors) through an effectiveness review,
including a calculation of the amount of ineffective expenditures, and for the
remaining actors, identify categorical effectiveness of biodiversity-related
expenditures; Identifying
negative biodiversity expenditures (adverse subsidies, investments that damage
biodiversity, etc.), and calculate the amount of potential savings if these
expenditures are eliminated.
4. Analyse
baseline biodiversity expenditure by major IBSAP strategy group and by Aichi
target categories (See above) by identifying the breakdown of biodiversity
expenditures for all identified financial actors by these classifications;
based upon these baseline expenditures, calculate an estimated future funding
baseline under a “business as usual” scenario by developing a range of
hypotheses about projected future “baseline” expenditures based on past
expenditures, and in consideration of likely future trend, conditions,
contingencies
5. Analyse
the effectiveness of the Biodiversity-Related Expenditures in the last 6 years
at national and sub-national (2 districts and one province) level by: Conducting
a review of the public and private biodiversity finance actors, agents, and
investors identified in the BIOFIN Workbook 1; Together
with members of
the national BIOFIN team, divide all actors, agents, and investors into
“significant” and “other” categories through consensus via peer review
discussions within the steering committee (results of workbook 1a and 1b); Review
the specific divisions; the relevant cost codes, cost centre or line items; and
the total budget biodiversity-related budget, total actual expenditures for
each selected finance actor as determined by the Public and Private Expenditure
Review Expert 1; Conduct a detailed qualitative and quantitative assessment of the effectiveness of all “significant” finance
actors through an analysis of expenditures and the outcomes of these
expenditures using published and unpublished reports, statistics, and
stakeholder discussions based on the institutions and actors identified in the
Workbook 1b and the Biodiversity Expenditure review. Include where possible a discussion on the
amount of ineffective expenditures and for the remaining actors (not identified
as “significant”), identify categorical effectiveness of biodiversity-related
expenditures (for example on a scale of 1-5); Identifying
negative biodiversity expenditures (adverse or biodiversity damaging subsidies,
etc.); and discuss the impacts and the amount of potential savings if these
expenditures were to be eliminated.
6. Analyse
the effectiveness of biodiversity expenditure categorised by a) the previous Sectoral
Strategic Planning 2010-2014 (Ministry of Forestry, Ministry of Agriculture,
Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries, Ministry of Environment and LIPI),
selected district and province’s RPJMD b) the major Aichi strategy groups.
7. Review
and provide an assessment of the effectiveness of the estimated future funding
baseline under a “business as usual” scenario by identifying the projected
future baseline scenario based on past expenditures, and a full analysis of
likely future trend, conditions, contingencies.
