ICLEI Indonesia - Consultancy: Full Stack Web Developer

About ICLEI

ICLEI - Local Governments for Sustainability is the leading global network of over 1,500 cities, towns, and regions committed to building a sustainable future. Established in 1990, ICLEI became the official focal point for Local Governments and Municipal Authorities (LGMA) at COP/ UNFCCC conferences. By helping the ICLEI Network to adopt urban pathways on low carbon, resilient, nature-based, people-centered, and circular development, ICLEI impacts over 25% of the global urban population.  

The ICLEI Southeast Asia Secretariat (ICLEI SEAS) serves members in Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia, and the Philippines. The secretariat has gained recognition from its experience in empowering local governments in the region by designing, promoting, and drawing external support to implement programs on urban resiliency, low emission development, integrated resource management, and other sustainability themes. ICLEI SEAS continuously inspires and invites local governments from provinces, cities, municipalities, and urban regions to forge partnerships for sustainability concerns specifically in terms of addressing climate change vis-à-vis urbanization and encourage them to make this an important consideration in local development planning.

ICLEI’s work in Indonesia took off in 2000 with the Cities for Climate Protection campaign which successfully paved the way for expanding its advocates on climate change mitigation in the country. In 2013, the ICLEI Indonesia Office started its operations. Over the years, it has tackled sustainability themes and strengthened its membership base across the nation which led to the establishment of “Yayasan ICLEI – Local Governments for Sustainability Indonesia” in December 2017.

ABOUT THE AMBITIOUS CITY PROMISES PROJECT

The Ambitious City Promises: Commitments for low-carbon urban development in Southeast Asian large cities is a 3.5-year international project being implemented by ICLEI – Local Governments for Sustainability with support from the International Climate Initiative (IKI) of the German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation, and Nuclear Safety (BMU).

The project aims to support selected large cities in Indonesia, the Philippines and Vietnam to establish strong greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction commitments, local climate action plans directed by concrete targets, enhanced multi-stakeholder engagement and integrated strategies. “City Promises” (city’s Local Climate Change Action Plan) shall be developed in three model cities and their implementation shall be outlined and initiated. Throughout the project period, each local government will design locally-appropriate targets and action plans on the basis of their development framework and priorities.

In Indonesia, the project works with DKI Jakarta, Tangerang, and Bekasi1. In 2019, Yayasan ICLEI Indonesia has successfully completed a round of public consultations in Jakarta to develop City Promises. These community-based engagements surfaced insights and opinions regarding climate action; particularly the lifestyle changes that residents of Jakarta are able and willing to pledge and commit to as a way to support the city’s pursuit of low emission development.

In order to serve a two-pronged goal of capturing these pledges from the citizens and presenting up to date and compelling information about climate change, low emission development, energy efficiency, sustainable transportation, solid waste management, and others, the project team and Provincial Government of Jakarta seek to develop an online stakeholder engagement platform. This platform is envisioned to be simple, functional, and appealing to the stakeholders of DKI Jakarta. It should also be supported with a robust database to ensure that all pledges are collected along with all of the data shared by the user.
