I. Background
UN Women, grounded in the vision of equality enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations, works for the elimination of discrimination against women and girls, the empowerment of women, and the achievement of equality between women and men as partners and beneficiaries of development, human rights, humanitarian action and peace and security.
UN Women Indonesia Country Office (CO) hosts the ASEAN liaison office which extends support to ASEAN and its Member States in advancing Women, Peace and Security (WPS) agenda in line with global normative frameworks. UN Women in partnership with Global Affairs Canada (GAC) is implementing the regional programme, “Empowering Women for Sustainable Peace: preventing violence and promoting social cohesion in ASEAN” (The Project).
The Project aims to advance the implementation of the WPS agenda in ASEAN, including preventing violence against women and promoting social cohesion in the region. More specifically, the Programme will strengthen the capacities of ASEAN institutions and ASEAN Member States (AMS) on WPS. Although the project largely focuses on advancing normative frameworks, capacity building and exchange of knowledge and good practices, it encompasses country-level implementation, where synergies between the regional and country-level interventions can be enhanced and leveraged.
The WPS framework showed the importance of women's full, equal, and meaningful participation in effective pandemic response and peacemaking efforts and provided a critical framework for inclusive decision-making and sustainable solutions. UN Security Council Resolution 1325 Council on Women, Peace and Security (UNSCR 1325) of 2000 marked a turning point for the international women's rights movement. As a member of the United Nations, Indonesia adopted resolution 1325 through Presidential Decree no. 18 of 2014 concerning the Protection and Empowerment of Women and Children in Social Conflict (P3AKS) under the legal umbrella of Law no. 7 of 2012 concerning Social Conflict Management. The Indonesian government has again demonstrated its strong commitment to implement the WPS agenda by launching the second generation of NAP WPS /RAN P3AKS 2020-2025 on July 2021 through the Regulation of the coordinating minister for Human Development and Culture (Kemenko PMK) No. 5/2021.
With UN Women’s technical support in 2022, the Government of Indonesia led by Ministry of Women Empowerment and Child Protection (KPPPA) and the Coordinating Ministry for Human Development and Cultural Affairs (Kemenko PMK) finalized the Monitoring, Reporting, and Evaluation framework to track progress in the implementation of the National Action Plan for Protection and Empowerment of Women and Children in Social Conflict 2020-2025 (RAN P3AKS). Using this framework, the Government of Indonesia then developed the report on the implementation of the NAP on WPS (RAN P3AKS), which was submitted to the President for the first time in May 2024.
Given this context, UN Women on behalf of KPPPA and Kemenko PMK seeks to hire a consultant to provide technical assistance for conducting results-based and gender responsive monitoring and reporting for RAN P3AKS 2024 implementation. It is, therefore, envisioned that by the end of this intervention, the report will reflect the achievements, and reveal the challenges, barriers, best practices, and lesson learnt as well.
II. Objectives of the assignment
With the purpose of providing technical assistance in developing the report on implementation of the NAP WPS/RAN P3AKS in 2024, the consultant will work with the RAN P3AKS working group (consists of representatives from 17 government/agencies) that is led by the MoWECP as the Secretariat, to collect data and reporting, establish a formal review process, facilitate, and engage stakeholders for consultation and feedback.
In addition, anticipating the upcoming Government transition that might allow changes or rotation of government officials and focal points, the selected consultant will also facilitate knowledge sharing and strengthen the capacities of targeted civil servants, particularly the secretariat of the NAP WPS/RAN P3AKS task force including selected women’s organizations on results-based monitoring and reporting.
