Assignment Title: Marketing and Communication Officer

Organizational Context & Project Description

UNDP is the UN's global development network, an organization advocating for change and connecting countries to knowledge, experience and resources to help people build a better life. We are on the ground in about 170 countries and territories, including Indonesia, working to eradicate poverty while protecting the planet. UNDP supports implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In Indonesia, UNDP works with the Government to integrate SDGs into national plan and policies.

On 20 September 2011, Indonesia, as one of the 8 founding governments formally launched the Open Government Partnership (OGP), endorsed the Open Government Declaration, and announced its national action plan. Following the launch of OGP, President Yudhoyono established an online G2C system (LAPOR) that supports the national public service compliant management system (SP4N) under the coordination of the President’s Delivery Unit for Development Monitoring and Oversight (UKP4) in 2012. LAPOR is an online citizen complaints management system and it was designed to increase public participation in the supervision of programs and government performance as well as the provision of public services.

Through these online platforms, citizens can submit their petitions and complaints to uncover issues internally or in-service provision in highlighting existing challenges. the Ministry of Administrative and Bureaucratic Reforms (KemenPAN-RB) is the responsible agency for the management of daily operations and administration of LAPOR. Up until March 2017, LAPOR had attracted more than 560,000 users and continues to receive, on average, 800 daily reports through the platform. To this end, LAPOR has become the forerunner of national integrated complaints management systems.

Currently, under President Joko Widodo (Jokowi), LAPOR is still a cornerstone for complaints handling with KemenPAN-RB, KSP, and ORI as the national partners of the system. In 2016, LAPOR was defined as the National Public Service Complaints Management System (SP4N: Sistem Pengelolaan Pengaduan Pelayanan Publik Nasional) based on KemenPAN-RB regulation No.3/2015 which led to the Presidential Regulation No.76/2013 on the management of public complaints within public services. Together, KemenPAN-RB, ORI, and KSP manage LAPOR after the signing of Joint Memorandum of Understanding in March 2016 on the utilization of LAPOR as SP4N.

The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) in Indonesia is initiating a new programme with the Korean International Cooperation Agency (KOICA) to support the Government of Indonesia in strengthening the capacity of government to handle civil petitions that can improve public service provision over time. In doing so, UNDP and KOICA will establish a tripartite collaboration with KemenPANRB to develop a comprehensive and integrated national strategy on the public service complaint management system. This joint collaboration is also intended to capacitate respective agencies responsible for the management and operation of LAPOR.

The project aims to enhance the e-governance system if the government of Indonesia by strengthening of the national complaint handling system SP4N LAPOR!. In achieving the objective, there are three main output that expected to be achieved: 1) developed masterplan and roadmap for a comprehensive national complaint handling system (SP4N-LAPOR!); 2) Enhanced institutional capacity on complaint handling of national and subnational governments through Invitational and Local trainings; and 3) Increased government and public awareness on SP4N-LAPOR!, and citizen participation to improve the system, with particular attention to women, youth, Persons with Disabilities (PwDs) and other marginalized groups of the population through Workshops and Promotions.
