The Knowledge Sector Initiative (KSI)
is a joint initiative of the Government of Indonesia and Australia
(through the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade - DFAT) designed as
a unique
and holistic approach to support Indonesia's stakeholders promote
evidence based policy making. In the first phase of KSI, the focus was
on building capacity, relationships, networks and systems as key
knowledge sector assets for strengthening policy making
in Indonesia.
Now
entering its second phase (2017-2022), the team will consolidate,
mobilize and expand these assets to produce, communicate and utilize
quality data and knowledge across Indonesia's policy cycle
at both national and subnational levels. It will also work across a
range of DFAT programs in exchanging and amplifying tools and knowledge
for policy produced by these programs.
KSI
is currently seeking Proposal from Qualified and experienced
Organization to Develop Provision of the technical support on the
Knowledge Management 8.7 Portal and Four E-Learning Training Modules
for Policy Analysts
I. Objectives
This
Scope of Work (SoW) outlines an activity under Key Initiative 6 ‘Policy
Analysts: Translating and Building Demand for Evidence’, specifically
on reengineering the Knowledge Management 8.7
that developed by the National Institute of Public Administration
(Lembaga Administrasi Negara, LAN) and formulating four (4) e-learning
training module for policy analysts at national and subnational level
including how to write policy brief, academic papers,
policy paper and paper. The KM 8.7 will be reengineered as a common
platform for policy analysts for government officials, universities,
think tank organisations, and non-governmental organisations. This SoW
represents detailed information for the purpose
of procuring the expertise of a professional organisation to support
the National Institute of Public Administration in implementing some
activities related to policy analysts as intermediary actors.
II. Background
Policy
analysts – both within government departments and in non-government
organizations - play a key role in synthesizing policy-relevant research
and evidence and developing policy recommendations.
Recognizing this, since 2015, KSI has been working with the National
Institute of Public Administration (Lembaga Administrasi Negara, LAN)
and the Indonesian Association of Policy Analysts (Asosiasi Analis
Kebijakan Indonesia, AAKI) established in 2016, to
help put in place sustainable mechanisms for developing policy analysis
capabilities across government. This work emerged in response to the
introduction of the new civil service position of Policy Analyst in
November 2013 through the Ministerial Regulation
of Administrative and Bureaucracy Reform (PermenPANRB No. 45/2013).
KSI
has been supporting the development of national competency standards
(Standar Kompetensi Kerja Nasional Indonesia, SKKNI) for policy analysts
which will help ensure that individuals in these
roles have the necessary skills including for non-government officials
(Non-ASN). The standards were developed in collaboration with the
Ministry of Labour (Kementerian Tenaga Kerja, Kemenaker) and the
National Agency for Professional Certification (Badan
Nasional Sertifikasi Profesi, BNSP) and involved universities and
research organisations – including KSI partners SMERU, CSIS, FITRA and
KPPOD.
KSI
also worked closely with LAN and AAKI to conduct a rapid assessment of
the role of policy analysts in improving policy making. The study aimed
to map the number of policy analysts needed by
national and local government agencies, identify what avenues are
available for training, outline the role of AAKI as a platform for
knowledge sharing and knowledge management, and develop a five-year
roadmap for professional development of policy analysts.
Given that policy analysts are a new position, it is perhaps not
surprising that the rapid assessment found that many of the 155 existing
policy analysts were not applying their skills optimally in their work.
This was found to be the result of issues such
the organization’s readiness to use policy analysts, leadership, and
the capacity of policy analysts themselves.
In
long run, policy analysts have the potential to form an important
bridge between researchers and policy makers. Building the profile and
influence of policy analysts, who can help build demand
for evidence-based policy-making within government. Strengthening
interactions and collaboration between researchers, policy analysts, and
policy-makers to improve access to and uptake of research to inform
policy.
III. Specific Tasks
The professional organisation is expected:
1.
To reengineer the Knowledge Management 8.7 Portal as a common platform for all policy
analysts including government officials, universities, think tank organisations and non-
governmental organisations.
2.
To formulate four e-learning training modules for policy analysts at national and subnational
levels.
3.
To organise the event of the reengineered-version of Knowledge Management 8.7 Portal in
August
2018 at the office of National Institute of Public Administration
(Lembaga Administrasi Negara, LAN) in parallel with the anniversary of
LAN.
