Background
The Australia – Indonesia Partnership for Justice (AIPJ) is a five year program funded by Australian Aid with a current closing date of December 2015.
The strategic focus of AIPJ is on realizing the rights of all Indonesians, in particular poor women, vulnerable children and people with disabilities. Building on the successes of previous Australian law and justice programs, AIPJ focuses on the following rights:
> Legal identity (birth, marriage and divorce certificates) as one precondition to realising basic economic and social rights, such as education and health care;
> The right to fair proceedings which are independent and impartial, fast, consistent, affordable, and accessible; and
> The right to legal information.
AIPJ approaches realizing rights by working in partnership with key government institutions (the supply side) as well as civil society and local communities (the demand side), and the intersection between the two. It does so through seven operational programs: legal identity, court reform, legal aid, legal information, and anti-corruption, civil society strengthening and disability inclusion. These programs operate at both the national level, where decisions are made, and the sub-national level, where lessons from the field can inform national level decision making. Visit www.aipi.or.id for more information about AIPJ.
AIPJ is expanding its focus on grass-roots justice and anti-corruption by implementing a new program that aims to improve responses to the misuse of funds disbursed by Indonesia's National Community Empowerment Program (PNPM) and thereby strengthen the governance environment at the village level. The program has been designed through, and will be implemented in coordination with, the PNPM Support Facility (PSF). The PSF is a government-led facility supported by donors and administered by the World Bank whose principal purpose is to support the poverty reduction agenda of the Government of Indonesia, particularly as this pertains to PNPM and community-driven development. Visit http://www.pnpm-support.org/ for more information about the PSF.
In response to the above, the overall objective of the PNPM Justice Services program is to increase the level of oversight, tracking and management of corruption cases involving PNPM funds and to respond to community justice needs during the resolution of PNPM corruption cases. However, in light of the new Village Law, which will result in the transfer of substantial funds direct to individual villages, the program also aims to generate lessons about how the provision of legal services may be of value in promoting transparency and accountability at the local level.
Duties
The Technical Coordinator will support effective implementation so as to achieve quality outputs and end-of-program outcomes. A particular focus will be on facilitating strong relationships between the national legal team established under the program and key program stakeholders including the PNPM Steering Committee (Pokja Pengendali PNPM), the Directorate-General of Village Community Empowerment at the Ministry of Home Affairs, the Directorate-General of Human Settlements at the Ministry of Public Works, the National Management Consultants for PNPM as well as relevant state institutions including the Attorney General's Office, the Ministry of Law and Human Rights and the National Development Planning Agency (BAPPENAS).
In performing his/her duties and responsibilities, the Technical Coordinator will report to the Technical Advisor and work closely with other AIPJ team members and relevant partners, stakeholders and contracted service providers.
Specifically, the Technical Coordinator will support the Technical Advisor for the component to:
§ Manage the design of activities, including more detailed development of the existing program design, the preparation of activity statements, end-of-program outcomes and activity budgets, and ensure that cross-cutting issues are incorporated where appropriate;
§ Manage all aspects of implementing activities, including the preparation of terms of reference for consultants, their recruitment and supervision, and reporting on activity implementation and financial expenditure;
§ Provide inputs in support of the AIPJ monitoring & learning framework;
§ Provide inputs into AIPJ reporting;
§ Provide inputs into program planning, including the development of annual plans;
§ Contribute to enhancing tools, approaches and methods across the program and identify opportunities to coordinate resources and share lessons learned; and
§ Maintain and foster strong relationships and partnerships with stakeholders, especially those involved in program implementation.
The Technical Coordinator will perform other duties and responsibilities, as requested, relevant to supporting the Technical Advisor to effectively implement the component's program of work.
Selection criteria
§ A degree in law, social sciences or another relevant field (a post-graduate degree would be an advantage);
§ At least 5 years' experience working on law and justice issues in Indonesia, with demonstrated career progression. Experience working on anti-corruption and/or community level justice will be particularly well-regarded, as will familiarity with PNPM;
§ Demonstrated experience in managing relationships with government stakeholders in Indonesia, including in the law and justice sector;
