Job Summary

​The Australia Indonesia Partnership for Decentralisation (AIPD) is funded by Australian Aid for the period 2011–2015. The Program supports the Government of Indonesia (GoI) to improve the performance of provincial and local governments. The Program focuses on resource management, covering both human and financial resources. AIPD creates an enabling environment for provincial and local governments to improve their performance so that sectoral initiatives to improve health, education and infrastructure services have a greater chance of success. At the same time, AIPD pilots new development models that can be replicated in other provinces and districts. AIPD works with the central government as well as five provincial governments: Papua, West Papua (Papua Barat), East Nusa Tenggara (NTT), West Nusa Tenggara (NTB) and East Java, and a total of 20 district governments within those provinces.

AIPD also plays a role in capturing the real challenges that provincial and local governments face and contributes to the development of better policy.

In the national level, AIPD supports the Ministry of Finance (MoF), Ministry of Home Affairs (MoHA), and Bappenas on policy work related to decentralisation. This is an area that is considered crucial, not only for Government of Indonesia (GoI) and AIPD, but also for the broader Australian aid in the country, as managed by the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT). Considering this, AIPD hires a Senior Decentralisation Analyst to support the AIPD policy work in the Central Government level for further communication and knowledge sharing.

This position will be remunerated in line with the Australian Aid’s Adviser Remuneration Framework. It is a Job Level 3, Group D position within that framework.
