Background
As the government’s premiere development planning organization, the Ministry of National Development Planning Agency (BAPPENAS), is responsible for designing the new generation of development policies in Indonesia. While BAPPENAS retains enormous in-house analytical expertise for development planning of any agency within government, BAPPENAS is itself aware that the nature of Indonesia’s development challenges requires more improvements to the organization’s ability to draw on various sources of empirical analysis. In this regards, in addition to the existing structure, BAPPENAS requires a Policy Analysis Team (PAT) that functions both as a ‘think tank’ to assist the Minister and Vice Minister, and as an organizational unit to manage the changes.
The overall purpose of BAPPENAS’ Policy Analysis Team is to synthesize and commission policy analysis from different sources. It will function as an intermediary between Indonesia’s overall knowledge sector and senior policy makers. As such, it should be able to produce succinct, policy-oriented briefing documents, often on short-notice, to an international standard, among cross-cutting and complex development issues, such as, among others, maintaining Indonesia’s economic competitiveness in a global arena; helping the poor ride out economic shocks through a better system of safety nets; and joining the global debate over climate change. Furthermore, this Team is also expected to assist the Minister and Vice Minister to improve BAPPENAS’ management of organizational processes aimed at empowering the institution to embrace changes in its current business environment.
As part of an agreement between the Australian Agency for International Development (AusAID) and BAPPENAS, KSI has been requested to provide support to the PAT at BAPPENAS. This support includes technical input and assistance, procurement/contracting, travel arrangement, and payments.
To manage the BAPPENAS’ Policy Analysis Team, experts are also needed. These experts consist of full time and/or intermittent national and international consultants to work in close coordination with the Minister and Vice Minister of BAPPENAS.
These TOR guide the procurement of a Program Coordinator needed by the Policy Analysis Team.
