Organizational Context

UNIDO is the specialized agency of the United Nations that promotes industrial development for poverty reduction, inclusive globalization and environmental sustainability. Its mission is to promote and accelerate inclusive and sustainable industrial development (ISID) in developing countries and economies in transition. The relevance of ISID as an integrated approach to all three pillars of sustainable development is recognized by the recently adopted 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the related Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which will frame United Nations and country efforts towards sustainable development in the next fifteen years. UNIDOs mandate in SDG-9, calls for the need to "Build resilient infrastructure, promote inclusive and sustainable industrialization and foster innovation". Accordingly, the Organizations programmatic focus is structured in three thematic priorities: * Creating shared prosperity * Advancing economic competitiveness * Safeguarding the environment.

UNIDO delivers its services through the following four complementary and mutually supportive core functions: (a) technical cooperation activities; (b) analytical and policy advisory services; (c ) standard- setting and compliance and (d) convening and partnership role. Such core functions are carried out in Departments/Offices in its Headquarters, Regional Offices and Hubs and Country Offices.

The Directorate of Programme Development and Technical Cooperation (PTC) is responsible and accountable for providing technical cooperation services to enhance the capabilities of developing countries and economies in transition to promote ISID in the following areas covered by five Departments: Department of Programmes, Partnerships and Field Integration; Department of Agri-Business; Department of Trade, Investment and Innovation; Department of Environment; and Department of Energy.

The position is located in the Industrial Resource Efficiency Division (PTC/ENV/IRE), which is part of the Department of Environment (PTC/ENV). The responsibility of the Department is to contribute to ISID by improving the environmental performance, resource productivity and safety of existing, as well as by supporting the creation of new industries providing environmental goods and service. It does so by promoting industrial resource efficiency to strengthen green industry and improve the effective use of natural resources including in particular materials and water; assisting developing countries and countries with economies in transition to achieve the objectives of and compliance with multilateral environmental agreements; and working to reduce the release of industrial pollutants in the environment.

The Industrial Resource Efficiency Division (PTC/ENV/IRE) is responsible for increasing the capacity of industry, government and business environmental service providers as well as IGOs and NGOs to scale up and mainstream the adoption of resource-efficient and cleaner patterns of production. This is achieved through recycling, resource recovery and/or environmentally sound treatment and disposal of wastes, waste waters and toxic and/or hazardous chemicals, and also in particular for the sustainable use and management of water and other natural resources used in industrial processes.

The Division is also primarily responsible for the implementation of the global Resource Efficient and Cleaner Production (RECP) Programme, a flagship programme under the organizations Green Industry Initiative that is implemented in close cooperation with the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP). RECP concerns the application of preventive environmental techniques and productivity practices with the triple aim of; (i) improving the productive use of materials, energy and water; (ii) reducing the intensity of generation of wastes and emissions; and (iii) supporting human development (in particular through improved occupational, community and consumers health and safety). The Programme builds upon the achievement of establishing National Cleaner Production Centres since 1995 in a total of some 55 developing and transition countries. A global network of qualifying NCPCs and other RECP service providers (RECPnet) has been established to foster knowledge management and innovation, networking and peer learning, quality control and branding (www.recpnet.org).

The project post is based in the National RECP Programme in Indonesia, which was initiated in 2012 with funding support from the Government of Switzerland. The Ministry of Environment and Forestry and Ministry of Industry are the main governmental counterparts in Indonesia. The Indonesian RECP Programme has been designed as a networked undertaking through the creation of the Indonesian Network for Resource Efficient and Cleaner Production (under the umbrella and mandate of the global RECPnet). The programme was designed to be implemented jointly with four national implementing agencies, respectively: (1) Centre for Resource Efficient and Cleaner Production Indonesia (CRECPI) at the Institute of Technology Bandung); (2) Indonesian Cleaner Production Centre (ICPC) operating under the joint auspices of the Ministry of Environment and Forestry (MoEF and the Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KADIN); (3) Centre for Assessment and Development of Green Industry and Environment (CADGIE), operating under the auspices of the Ministry of Industry (MoI); and the Centre for Textiles in Bandung (CTB), affiliated with the Ministry of Industry. The primary target group comprises enterprises in manufacturing, tourism and micro-enterprises sectors. A differentiated strategy has been developed and is being implemented to cater to the specific opportunities of categories of enterprises, respectively small scale industries (preliminary focus on agro/food processing, metal products, chemical and textile sectors), industrial parks (preliminary focus on Makassar, Battam and Surabaya), tourism (Yogyakarta and Lake Toba) and micro-enterprises (palm sugar and coffee processing). In line with the recommendations of the Mid Term Evaluation and aligned with the recent institutional developments (ICPC has been established by the MOeF and with full support as an association with a broad mandate to become the lead RECP service provider an adjustment of the project design will be agreed in the next Project Steering Committee Meeting.

The activities under the national RECP programme are structured in five work streams:

1. RECP Capacity and Network: A cadre of at least 75 national RECP experts will be created and provided with advanced training opportunities. Adopting international best practices, the Indonesian RECP network will be set up, along with strengthening of its nodal agencies, respectively ICPC, CRECP, CTB and CADGIE. A knowledge management system will be created and a learning-by-sharing programme established that will benefit at least 300 companies;

2. RECP Implementation and Replication: customized implementation and replication activities will be developed and delivered to the four small scale industry sectors, three industrial parks, two tourism locations and two micro-enterprise sectors, Impacts in terms of improved resource productivity and environmental performance and competitiveness gains will be documented at enterprise level (using common framework of RECP indicators). Collectively detailed assessments will be completed for at least 150 industries, with scaling up activities reaching at least another 300 industries and 400 micro-enterprises;

3. RECP Policy and Regulatory Framework: the programme will support four line ministries (Ministry of Environment and Forestry (MoEF), Ministry of Industry (MoI), Ministry of Tourism (MoT) and Ministry of Mineral Resources and Energy (MMRE)) with implementation of relevant policies and strategies for respectively sustainable consumption and production, green industry, sustainable tourism and industrial resource efficiency, to achieve national development aims and objectives agreed by the Government of Indonesia. Support is also foreseen for development, pilot and evaluation of key policy instruments, including training and capacity building for implementation, monitoring and enforcement;

4. RECP Technology and Innovation: While it has been foreseen that CRECPI and CTB will be supported to create national sustainable innovation capacity in the areas of industrial symbiosis, green chemistry and engineering (both at CRECPI) and cradle to cradle innovation (at CTB) and these capacities will be utilized to support the development and implementation of innovative RECP technologies in the target demonstration sectors and industrial regions, CRECPI/ITBs role will have to re-discussed and agreed upon with government counterparts in line with the establishment of ICPC as an association with the mandate to become the lead RECP service provider; and

5. RECP Investment and Finance: an inventory of financing instruments available and RECP financing needs among target enterprise groups will guide the development of proposals for RECP financing instruments, which will be promoted to interested financial institutions, including training and capacity building for financial institutions as well as enterprises and their service providers.
The Programme is being implemented under the guidance of a Programme Management Committee (PMC) with participation of the key government counterparts and donor representative.
