Title of the assignment: REDD+ Management Information Systems (MIS) Specialist (National, 1 post)
Project name: REDD+ Project
Post Code: IC/UNDP-REDD+/172/2014 - REDD+ Management Information Systems (MIS) Specialist
Period of assignment/services: 5 months
This
procurement notice will be open until 22 December 2014. Please visit
our website by accessing the following link for further information on
the job vacancy and how to apply for the job vacancy:
I. BACKGROUND
Context of the REDD+ initiative:
Indonesia
is the third largest emitter of carbon dioxide (CO2) and the world’s
largest emitter from agriculture, forestry and other land use. Over the
past five years, Indonesia’s annual deforestation rate has averaged
around 1 million hectares, which contributes to an estimated 87 percent
of Indonesia’s annual emissions. In response to this situation, in 2009,
President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, made a voluntary commitment to the
world to reduce emissions as much as 26 percent under a
business-as-usual scenario or up to 41 percent with international
support by 2020.
According to the Second National
Communication from Indonesia to the UNFCCC, Indonesia is expected to
emit around 2.9 million metric tons (gigatons) by 2020 under the
business-as-usual scenario. A commitment to reduce that amount by 26
percent would mean a reduction of 0.8 gigatons, while 41 percent would
amount to a reduction of 1.2 gigatons. A reduction from an expected 2.9
to 1.7 gigatons by 2020 is a challenging commitment for a country aiming
to maintain its 7 percent annual growth rate. Nevertheless, this
commitment has been translated into a comprehensive National Action Plan
known as RAN-GRK (PP 61/2011).
The National Action Plan for
the Reduction of Green-house Gas Emissions (RAN-GRK) estimates that 87
percent of the emission-reduction target - approximately 1 gigaton -
relates directly to the forestry and peat land sectors and, to address
this, the government has adopted an incentive mechanism to improve
management of the country’s vast forest resources while supporting
climate-change mitigation. This mechanism, known as REDD+ (Reducing
Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation), has five primary
objectives: (a) reduction of deforestation; (b) reduction of forest
degradation; (c) conservation of carbon stocks; (d) sustainable forest
management; and (e) enhancing carbon stocks.
On 26 May 2010
the Governments of Indonesia and Norway signed a Letter of Intent (LoI)
to establish a REDD+ Partnership. The first phase of this REDD+
Partnership (Phase 1) was to establish an agency with the capacity to
implement and manage REDD+ projects initially in the pilot province
Central Kalimantan and progressively in other priority provinces across
Indonesia. A Task Force (Satuan Tugas, Satgas) was appointed to support
this initial phase and in August 2013 a National REDD+ Agency (Badan
Pengelola REDD+) was established to coordinate the implementation of
REDD+ objectives in Indonesia.
Context of this TOR
With
the establishment of the National REDD+ Agency and subsequent
appointment of its deputies, Indonesia is now ready to enter Phase 2 of
the REDD+ Partnership. The objective of this phase is to prepare
Indonesia for a results-payment modality where contributions from the
REDD+ Partnership will be made for verified-emissions reduction. As a
part of this objective, the REDD+ Agency aims to expand its information
technology capacity in an effort to provide more extensive decision
support, operational transparency, and to facilitate the growing need
for data and information sharing between ministries, institutions and
provinces. It is in this context that the REDD+ Agency, through the
support of UNDP, is seeking to engage a Management Information Systems
Specialist.
Objectives of this TOR:
The objective of
this assignment is to provide general assistance in supporting the
REDD+ MIS platform and to assist in the development of a range of
applications using LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP) solution stack.
These applications will need to be designed and carefully structured to
ensure their long-term relevance and scalability considering the dynamic
nature of climate-change and REDD+ related information.
