Title                 :  System Dynamic Consultant - Individual
Duty Station    :  Remote, Indonesia
Duration          : 6 (six) months from May to October 2018

1.      Background

Hivos is an international organisation based in the Netherland that seeks new solutions to persistent global issues. With smart projects in the right places, we oppose discrimination, inequality and the unsustainable use of our planet’s resources.

Sumba Iconic Island (SII) is an initiative that was initiated by Hivos and Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (MEMR) in 2010, which then formalized through Minister of Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (MEMR) Decree No. 3051K/30/MEM/2015 dated June 1st 2015. The initiative recognized that it takes multi-actors collaboration to ensure energy access for all population through 100% renewable energy by 2025. Therefore, multi-actors/multi-stakeholders approach was used to achieve the objectives of Sumba Iconic Island. Since it was started, SII has increased Sumba’s electrification ratio up to 42 %[1] in 2015 from 2010’s electrification ratio of 24%.

After over than 7 years, Sumba Iconic Island still continues as a multi-actors initiative, where Government, private sector, local CSOs, as well as international NGOs and international donors, contribute. Sumba Iconic Island contains a lot of local learnings, that can contribute to other inhabited islands in Indonesia. Therefore, such kind of learning needs to be replicated and customized to accommodate the needs of other islands. During the implementation, several new regulations were issued, that lead to more challenges in achieving Sumba Iconic Island objectives. Any possible impacts of these regulations to Sumba’s objectives realization, need to be identified and projected, to anticipate the unwanted long-term results of Sumba Iconic Island.[2] This can be done through identifying the causal-effect relations between elements in the existing structure of Sumba Iconic Island. Hivos therefore, chooses system dynamic to present the existing causal-effect relations between elements in the structure of Sumba Iconic Island.

The research is expected to provide inputs on how to accelerate the realization of Sumba Iconic Island objectives, and at the same time, the research shall provide inputs on how to replicate Sumba Iconic Island to other inhabited islands in Indonesia.

The timeframe for this study is 6 (six) months, including data collection, building the model, required focus group discussions, interviews (if necessary), and report writing. The research is expected to start in May 2018 to October 2018.

  1. Causal-loop diagram of the system that will be analyzed
  2. System dynamic model
  3. Analysis of the model including building the scenarios
  4. Report in Bahasa Indonesia, with bilingual Executive Summary
