Tetra Tech ARD is currently accepting expressions of
interest for the Sustainable Land Use Planning Coordinator, 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: The Sustainable Land Use Planning Coordinator
provides technical support to LESTARI partners to incorporate and
operationalize Strategic Environmental Assessments (SEAs) and Landscape
Conservation Plans (LCPs) recommendations in the landscapes. Alternative
development options that mitigate impacts to climate change, increase
resilience and ensure sustainable development have been designed in SEA but
require integration through transparent governance. LCPs augment LEDS sensitive
SEA by highlighting HCV and HCS areas important for conservation. Integration
is required for districts to meet their GHG emission reduction plans (RAD-GRK)
commitments.
Among stakeholders, regular reference will be made to the
set of generic and customized landscape maps to ensure that the “what” of
support will be complemented by the “where”, enabling appropriate clustering of
stakeholders for more effective action. Relevant results of such
engagement will be conveyed to the GIS facility to improve maps. Every effort will
be made to encourage stakeholders to take ownership of the landscape maps as
tools to achieve their shared goals with LESTARI. The Sustainable Land
Use Planning Coordinator will also lead Jakarta based technical staff and
governance and GIS staff and partner in monitoring implementation of spatial
plans at the district level. This includes building capacity for more
scientific and participatory monitoring, and linking this to provincial and
national plans.
The Sustainable Land Use Planning Coordinator will also lead
further development of Landscape Baselines Assessments developed at the start
of the project and, together with the Spatial Planning & GIS Specialist,
document and communicate progress towards project and district GHG emission
reduction targets.
Requirements include previous experience in spatial
planning, forest governance and or sustainable landscape issues in Indonesia,
preferably with experience in forestry, land-use and climate change issues in
Indonesia; familiarity with USAID procedures and regulations; and demonstrated
ability to play a leadership role working on a multi-disciplinary team.
University degree in related field required.
