Background InformationSince 2013, Indonesia has prepared an initiative on knowledge sharing through the spirit of Global Partnership and Effectiveness Development Cooperation (GPEDC), with the aim to extend the experiences and lesson learnt to be implemented into developing countries. Knowledge sharing is a powerful and useful agenda in GPEDC to be implemented on a global scale, regional and domestic. Indonesia proposes to develop the Country Led Knowledge Hub (CLKH) in order to support the achievement of the MDGs and the implementation of the Post-2015 Development Agenda both for Indonesia's development as well as for other developing countries by improving the quality of evidence-based national and regional development planning that support the achievement of development goals through knowledge sharing and lessons-learned of easy adoptable solutions.
In order to develop knowledge sharing and Country Led Knowledge Hubs (CLKH), Bappenas IDC is seeking to establish the pilot of the Knowledge Centre (KC) as a “hub” that is a centralised repository of information, dynamic and integrated knowledge and smart practices where different stakeholders can access development practices. The overall activity will focus on sharing development experiences by replicating smart-practices across Indonesia region to improve Indonesia’s capacity. It will use strategy by implementing full cycle of quick wins of smart practices in 2015 to 2016.
KSI is also keen to support Bappenas IDC to develop an evidence investment strategy to acquire and share relevant knowledge and capacities. In providing the support to Bappenas IDC, KSI support the implementation of smart practices as a pilot project. This pilot project would be projected to record the lesson learned to develop a system and mechanism of a KC.
As outlined in the Medium Term Development Plan (RPJMN) 2015-2019, Indonesia has priorities of development agenda that includes in area of maritime, basic infrastructure, energy & electricity security, and health. In line with those agenda, implementation of smart practices piloting are considered as one of the potential solution. The potential smart practices will be implemented as a pilot project quick wins. The proposed projects are Micro-hydro in West Sulawesi, Water sanitation in West Nusa Tenggara (NTB), Malaria Center in North Maluku, and Energy initiative in East Java. These potential smart practices will be replicated by the selected piloting areas/locations, especially in eastern Indonesia and East Java. Those areas are considered to be in line with each those local government/RPJMD issues. The involvement of experts and/or service providers is needed to complete the success of smart practices replication. The expected role of this expertise would be in the capturing processes, such as system of finding, collecting, verifying available domestic needs and practices; and in production processes, such as translating tacit and explicit knowledge into adoptable, useable, informative materials processes.
Bappenas IDC is collaborating with United Cities and Local Government Asia Pacific (UCLG-ASPAC) and Bursa Pengetahuan Kawasan Timur Indonesia (BaKTI) as the service providers for implementing the pilot project of potential smart practices. This replication of pilot project is divided into two phases that each of the phases will implement 2 of 4 projects mentioned above. Phase I will implement the top two prioritized projects based on field assessment proposed to be conducted starting in July 2015.Thus, the remaining two projects will be considered to be implemented in the Phase II in 2016. This call for paper is intended for Phase I only.
