Tetra Tech ARD is currently accepting expressions of interest for the
STTA Forestry Management and Governance Specialist, Jakarta based on
our USAID LESTARI project. USAID’s LESTARI project supports the
Government of Indonesia to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and
conserve biodiversity in carbon rich and biologically
significant forest and mangrove ecosystems.
Job Summary:
to
identify a clear path for improved LESTARI interventions that will lead
to better forestry governance and improved forest management in state
forests outside of the national parks and conservation areas in LESTARI
landscapes.
Focus of
the assignment will consider the consequences of re-alignment of
forestry service authority from the District to the Provincial levels
due to the implementation of Law 23 of 2014, and the annual forestry
plans (RKT) at the
District, Provincial and National levels as articulated in Permenhut
10/2010, 36/2013 RKTK and Permenhut 1/2012 Pedoman RKTP and other
national / Provincial level policy on land and forestry use that
present policy contradictions and uncertainty (e.g., SK
Menhut No. 529/2012 RTRWP and Permenhut P.49/2011 RKTN) while
anticipating imminent revision of PP44 on Forestry Planning and
appropriate revision of Permenhut 10/2010. S/he will also provide clear
strategies for LESTARI where peatland is prominent and where
hydrological management is essential for the sustainable management of
the landscape requiring management integration of peatland management
units (KHG) and forest management unit (KPH) areas; consider
recommendations from the KPH Expert regarding capacity
building needs and governance of forest management units (KPH) as part
of integrated forest management planning and further examine the
transitional phase of forestry services coming under authority of
provincial government, and needs for horizontal and vertical
coordination between forestry and other services operating in the same
landscape, notably, agriculture, mines and land, as well as with village
governments whose role has been enhanced through Law 6 of 2014. While
focusing on state forest areas, s/he will
take into account threats and opportunities from surrounding private
land and village areas in which both are located. The consultant will
work closely with the Decentralized Governance Specialist with regard to
inter-institutional coordination challenges
and the Sustainable Land Use Planning Coordinator with respect to land
use functions especially where there is uncertainty such as in the
absence of approved District/Kota spatial plans (Pulang Pisau, Katingan
and Katingan) or those under revision (Mimika
and Asmat) that significantly overlap with LESTARI landscapes.
