Specifics of Recruitment

1.       Introduction and Background to the Assignment

The Global Green Growth Institute (GGGI) seeks a highly qualified individual consultant to lead one of four background studies of Indonesia’s forest sector in preparation for the next Medium-Term Development Plan (RPJMN 20120-2024). In the role of the Spatial Data Analyst and Mapper, the Consultant will provide spatial analysis and mapping of the principal forested landscapes and ecoregions across each of Indonesia’s seven main island regions. The results of all four studies will be compiled in a “master plan” for revitalizing the forest sector and for contributing to national economic development based on a landscape approach to forest management and protection.Based in Seoul, the Global Green Growth Institute (GGGI) is an intergovernmental organization founded to support and promote a model of economic growth known as "green growth", which targets key aspects of economic performance such a poverty reduction, job creation, social inclusion, and environmental sustainability. GGGI works with countries around the world, building their capacity and working collaboratively on green growth policies that can impact the lives of millions. The organization partners with countries, multilateral institutions, government bodies, and private sector to help build economies that grow strongly and are more efficient and sustainable in the use of natural resources, less carbon intensive, and more resilient to climate change.GGGI has worked in Indonesia since 2013 and recently embarked on the second phase of its joint program with the government, which will run until 2019. GGGI supports the Government of Indonesia (GoI) in three focal areas: energy, infrastructure projects within special economic zones, and forest and land-based mitigation (including REDD+). The program aims to demonstrate that green investment can become the norm for investors and for planners, ultimately improving the overall quality of economic growth, the environment, and the quality of life. At the national level, GGGI works primarily with the Ministry for National Development Planning (BAPPENAS), the Ministry of Environment and Forestry (MoEF), the Coordinating Ministry of Economic Affairs, the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources, and the Ministry of Finance.GGGI is currently supporting BAPPENAS to undertake a number of technocratic background studies in preparation for the next National Medium-Term Development Plan (RPJMN 2020-2024). The RPJMN is the chief document to elaborate the government’s vision for national economic development based on detailed sectoral, regional, and cross-cutting policies and programs. It lays out a broad, macro-economic framework covering the overall economic situation and the direction of fiscal policy and an indicative regulatory framework.Sustainable development has long been a guiding principle for Indonesia. In the current development plan (RPJMN 2015-2019), this is detailed in a strategy for achieving food, water, and energy security, or “resilience,” through a landscape approach based on sound ecosystem management. This landscape approach is also incorporated in the Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) for climate change mitigation and adaptation. The next development plan (RPJMN 2020-2024) is expected to take this approach further in the overall context of green growth.In preparation for the next five-year national development plan, BAPPENAS is working with other ministries and partners, such as GGGI, to prepare technocratic background studies for key economic sectors, including the forest sector. The forest sector studies are intended to guide development within the sector as well as to elaborate on the important role of forested landscapes, forest products, and forest ecosystem services in sustaining other vital sectors of the economy. Three teams have been formed by BAPPENAS and its development partners to conduct complementary studies:
  1. USAID-BIJAK will study the institutional structure, capacity, and effectiveness of forest management units and recommend improvements.
  2. UNDP’s EPASS and TIGER projects will study the role and functions of conservation areas and biodiversity and their contributions to economic development.
  3. GGGI, drawing on these two studies plus additional analyses, will compile a Masterplan for the Revitalization of Forestry Management in Indonesia based on the landscape approach. This work is detailed in the next section.
In addition, BAPPENAS is collaborating with the New Climate Economy (NCE) team of WRI to implement the Low Carbon Development Initiative in Indonesia (LCDI), which also includes work on spatial analysis.Together these studies are meant to support the objectives of rationalizing forest management and revitalizing the forest-based economy. They will deal with such matters as regulatory and institutional reform, the settlement of land tenure issues within the forest area, and revision of the forest area boundaries based on an ecologically sound landscape approach.

2.       Purpose of the Assignment

BAPPENAS has asked GGGI to undertake four of the technocratic background studies of the forest sector for the next RPJMN (20120-20124) and to compile a forest revitalization master plan for revitalizing the forest sector and for contributing to national economic development based on a landscape approach to forest management and protection. The work will contribute to the formulation of the RPJMN and ultimately to achievement of NDC targets and SDGs by mainstreaming green growth principles and actions within the national development plan.

3.       Scope of Work

The Spatial Data Analyst and Mapper will lead one of the four background studies, i.e. ‘the spatial analysis and mapping of the principal forested landscapes and ecoregions across each of Indonesia’s seven main island regions’, in close cooperation with the other team members, and will help to consolidate the results of the study into the forest revitalization master plan.

The four background studies cover the following themes:

  1. An assessment of the carrying capacity (daya tampung dan daya dukung lingkungan hidup) of forested landscapes.
  2. Spatial analysis and mapping of the principal forested landscapes and ecoregions across each of Indonesia’s seven main island regions (this study will be led by the Spatial Data Analyst and Mapper);
  3. Analysis of the institutional arrangements, regulatory framework, and management models required to manage the forest estate for public and private benefits based on a landscape approach.
  4. Economic analysis of opportunities and challenges within the forest sector, and in downstream sectors that depend on forest products and ecosystem services, along with an assessment of public and private investment needs.

The scope and methodology of the studies will reflect the contents that are needed for the Masterplan for the Revitalization of Forestry Management in Indonesia (see below).

Contents of the Masterplan

The reports of the four thematic studies will make up the four main chapters of the Masterplan for the Revitalization of Forestry Management in Indonesia, along with an introductory chapter and a final chapter containing conclusions, recommendations, and a roadmap for strategies and actions.

  • The introductory chapter will evaluate development in the forest sector during the period of the current national development plan (RPJMN 2015 – 2019), identifying key facts, strategic issues, and challenges, based on a joint review with BAPPENAS and other partners (see “Working Relationships and Sequence of Tasks,” below).
  • The first of the four thematic chapters will explain the landscape approach and its basis in science, law, and policy (including the current RPJMN and the NDC). It will identify sources and flows of ecosystem services as well as their vulnerability, threats to sustainability, and mitigation actions to counter the threats.
  • The second of the four thematic chapters will highlight the major themes and strategic directions for forest-sector development in each of the seven main island regions: Sumatera, Kalimantan, Sulawesi, Papua, Maluku, Jawa, and Bali-Nusa Tenggara, grounded in a landscape approach. It will describe some of the most important types of forested landscapes, illustrated in detail by three specific case studies from different regions.
  • The third of the four thematic chapters will explain the requirements for a landscape-based institutional and regulatory framework to enable good forest management, with efficient and streamlined regulation, and to revitalize forest-based economic development. The institutional framework will feature the role of forest management units at a landscape scale, using the same three case studies for illustration.
  • The fourth thematic chapter will present results of an economic analysis of the actual and potential contributions of the forest sector (including ecosystem services) to national economic development. Again, the same three case studies will be used to illustrate detailed costs and benefits of maintain forested landscapes. This chapter will also present a green budgeting strategy and an investment plan based on blended (public and private) finance in the forest sector to achieve green growth development outcomes.
  • The final, concluding chapter will summarize the results and recommendations of the four thematic studies and present a roadmap for strategies and actions to be incorporated in the RPJMN 2020 – 2024.

The Team

The Spatial Data Analyst and Mapper will be part of GGGI team dedicated to support the government in preparing the RPJMN 2020-2024.
