Title : Open Contracting & Food Analyst on Localizing SDGs
Duty Station : Jakarta,
Indonesia
Report to : Program Managers Strategic Partnership
Duration :
4 (four) months from October 2019 to
January 2020
Background
Through the Strategic Partnership program,
Hivos supports independent journalists, activists, businesses and civil society
organizations in their efforts to influence policies and practices in sustainable
food, green and inclusive energy and open contracting both at the national and
subnational level. The program is a Citizen Agency consortium funded by Dutch
Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA).
Indonesia has issued Presidential Regulation
No. 59/2017 on SDGs implementation down to the sub-national. According to the
regulation, governors are expected to report the achievement of SDGs
implementation at the sub-national level. This implies that localizing SDGs
from the national to the sub-national level becomes important. Strategic
Partnership program in Indonesia views that localizing SDGs needs to be
concrete, to be implemented at the sub-national levels.
Strategic Partnership program consists of
three issues (food, green, and inclusive energy) which also contributes to the
achievements of SDGs in Indonesia. Energy is a prerequisite for development..
Without energy, it is difficult for people to live as all of human’s activities
are always involving energy; be it to prepare nutritious food, mobilizing from
one place to another, lighting for evening activities, and even to enable
people to make a living. However, we also believe that energy supply needs to
be sustainable and contribute to the mitigation of climate change.
Female-led SMEs or SME groups require access
to government’s public procurement. Meanwhile, these small scale producers
producing locally-sourced food could potentially support and supported by the
implementation of green public procurement at the local level. There is a need
to assess the current situation, which actors are involved and how to be able
to map out the needs required for further assistance in improving the provision
of renewable energy. This scoping study will assess potential linkages to
achieve goal 7 and 16 of the SDGs.
The program requires a team / individual to
carry out a baseline research to seek possible solutions to synergize
sustainable food production by small-scale food producers and transparent open
contracting processes within the context of SDGs implementation at the local
level in Central Java province.
