1. Introduction and Background to the AssignmentThe 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:

2. Purpose of the AssignmentBAPPENAS 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 WorkThe 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:
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 Team The Spatial Data Analyst and Mapper will be part of GGGI team dedicated to support the government in preparing the RPJMN 2020-2024. This team will work under a Team Leader and other individual consultants, including the Spatial Data Analyst and Mapper, to undertake the four thematic studies. They are:
The consultants will work together as a team, each taking the lead responsibility for one of the four study themes while also supporting the work of the others. Since the work will be undertaken in close cooperation with BAPPENAS and other partners, flexibility and a shared vision for the project outcome are essential. The Team Leader will coordinate the work of the other consultants to ensure they meet the requirements for each of the studies and that the results are compiled and incorporated into the master plan as four separate chapters. The Team Leader will also write the introductory and concluding chapters, edit the whole document, and prepare an executive summary. Tasks of the Spatial Data Analyst and Mapper The Spatial Data Analyst and Mapper will provide spatial analysis and mapping of the principal forested landscapes and ecoregions across each of Indonesia’s seven bioregions: Sumatra, Java, Kalimantan, Sulawesi, Maluku, Papua, and Bali – Nusa Tenggara. He or she will work closely with and support the other consultants, providing analysis to ‘build the case’ for a landscape approach to forest management s in a visually appealing and scientifically robust fashion. The Spatial Data Analyst and Mapper will be responsible for carrying out the following tasks:
- Detailing the scope and scale of the spatial analysis and mapping of the main focused provinces. - Determining the study design and timeframe with BAPPENAS, GGGI, working group on Forestry Background Study, and working group on Low Carbon Development Indonesia to ensure the alignment between this study and the Low Carbon Development Indonesia study.
Working Relationships and Sequence of Tasks The Spatial Data Analyst and Mapper will report to GGGI’s Forest and Land-use Lead, who will coordinate the work with BAPPENAS, MoEF, and other partners including the LCDI team. The work will begin with an inception phase to agree on the precise scope and methodology for the thematic studies. The details will be agreed by GGGI, BAPPENAS, and the consultants at the outset of the work. The Team Leader will document these details in an inception report. The Team Leader will prepare a detailed table of contents for the masterplan. These will be prepared by the consultants and agreed with BAPPENAS (in consultation with the development partners working on the complementary studies). The results will be documented in an inception report. GGGI, with BAPPENAS, will coordinate the work with that of the partners (USAID-BIJAK and UNDP’s EPASS and TIGER projects) responsible for the other background studies; the LCDI team (Led by WRI/NCE and involving GGGI and others) working on sectoral studies; and other experts and institutions with relevant expertise to share. The review of development in the forest sector during the period of the current national development plan (RPJMN 2015 – 2019) will be done jointly with these partners to identify strategic issues and challenges relevant for the thematic studies. GGGI will facilitate focus group discussions (FGDs) to obtain in-depth information on concepts, perceptions, and ideas for the thematic studies, to share preliminary findings, and to obtain and validate information for the economic analysis and option to revitalize the forest sector. The Spatial Data Analyst and Mapper may be asked to help prepare and give presentations at these FGDs. BAPPENAS will organize a workshop to present the draft masterplan and consult with key stakeholders. |
