STRENGTHENING SUSTAINABLE PEACE
AND DEVELOPMENT
IN ACEH (SSPDA)
UNITED NATIONS DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMME
TERMS OF REFERENCE
Post Code PPM
Post Title Provincial Project Manager
Recruitment Indonesian national
Duty station Provincial PMU, Banda Aceh
Duration of assignment 1 (one) year
Direct supervisor Director for Special and Disadvantaged Areas, BAPPENAS
as National Project Director
Strengthening Sustainable Peace and Development in
Aceh (SSPA) is the UNDP project in collaboration with the Government of
Indonesia to support the reintegration process in Aceh as mandated in
Memorandum of Understanding between The Government of Indonesia and Gerakan
Aceh Merdeka (GAM), signed in Helsinki on August 15, 2005.
UNDP
support to BAPPENAS is in line with BAPPENAS responsibility for coordination in
the Peace Agreement implementation process as mandated through the Presidential
Instruction no.15/2005, particularly to develop strategies and to support
effective coordination of donor input. In addition to that, UNDP is also
supporting Bappenas in the improvement of the legal framework of conflict
management at strategic level. Mostly due to the tsunami crisis, the GoI
decided to pass a law in the Parliament of Crises Management. The Law, which is
currently with the National Parliament, aims at creating a coherent and unified
approach to crisis management. UNDP is supporting Bappenas’ efforts to ensure
the Law fully reflects lessons learned elsewhere in Indonesia and applicable to
Aceh. The initiative includes extensive TA to BAPPENAS and the Legislative in
the deliberation of the law, technical inputs into the Law and the production
of the related academic paper. It is expected that components of this
initiative such as the development of local regulation on conflict sensitive
and participatory planning can be introduce in some of the areas where UNDP
will work in Aceh. The SSPDA project will support local government in the
design of programmes through consultative processes that are participative,
bottom up and conflict sensitive. The latter will be done using the PDA
methodology developed by Bappenas and UNDP in other post-conflict provinces of
Indonesia.
The main
responsibility for implementing the Government’s Reintegration strategy falls
on provincial and district level government in general, and the Governor’s
office in particular. SSPDA project support to local government will focus on
four strategic areas:
· The
Governor’s office for implementation of the Reintegration strategy – Badan
Reintegrasi Aceh Damai (BRA) ;
· The
Forum Bersama, the main multi-stakeholder policy-oriented forum, that will
service government, GAM, civil society and donors engaged in reintegration
activities;
· Support
to the police focusing on strengthening community-police relations because
sustained economic development requires effective law enforcement;
· District government capacity building around
planning and reintegrating displaced communities.
The project implementation strategy is
designed with extensive liaison with other donors such as the EU, IOM, WB and
ILO[1].
UNDP has provided support to BAPPENAS in the design of a three-year programme
of work focusing on:
· Support
to national, provincial and district local governments for effective
implementation of the MoU and responsive recovery;
· Sustainable
social, economic and political reintegration of ex-combatants, detainees and
political prisoners;
· Immediate
livelihood support and medium term economic development with enhanced
coexistence to communities receiving GAM and others affected by conflict;
· Capacity
building for civil society to enhance their commitment to sustainable peace and
their positive engagement in reintegration and recovery activities.
The programme
strategy will cover selected districts with a number of criteria for selection
correspond to (among others) poverty, tsunami and conflict affected community, and
location of combatant and IDP returns. The project approach will consist both of
strategic interventions that will enhance local with economic recovery and implementation
approaches that generate better co-existence and longer term peace building.
Addressing
the situation of IDPs in Aceh is essential both as a humanitarian imperative
and also in order to ensure that potential social tensions that may lead to conflict
are diffused. The programme will work with IDPs in 2 districts with an
integrated, participatory and capacity building methodology. The SSPDA project will
be implemented through Bappenas as the implementing agency with National
Execution. The main activities in the project document have been agreed between
UNDP, Bappenas, the Aceh Provincial Government and other relevant donors and
agencies will achieve the following three key outputs:
· Capacities
of national, provincial and district governments to respond to needs and
implement the requirements of the Memorandum of Understanding have been
substantially increased;
· Former
combatants and ex-prisoners have been successfully reintegrated into civilian
life and economic activities and livelihoods of conflict affected communities
have been fully restored;
· Civil
society capacities to engage in the implementation of the Memorandum of Understanding
and implement reintegration activities have been substantially increased and
their role in the peace process fully recognized by all stakeholders.
A National Project Director (NPD) is assigned to one
of high-ranked officials from Bappenas office. Undertaking the responsibilities
for overall Project, The Provincial Project Director will be supported by a Provincial
Project Management Unit secretariat office to oversee the overall tasks of the
project. The secretariat office of National Project Management Unit will be managed

analytical work to support the needs of government and other stakeholders
including donors. This component of the programme will be done through various
partners and will address knowledge gaps that impact upon the design and
implementation of successful reintegration and peace-building strategies.
Analytical outputs will include policy briefings, assessments of existing
reintegration/development delivery models, best practices notes and major
studies on issues such as human security, economic governance and the elections

reconstruction.
