WHO WE ARE
Lingkar Temu Kabupaten Lestari (LTKL) is an association of district governments to realize
sustainable development. LTKL was formed by 8 district governments in July 2017. As of
January 2023, LTKL has 9 member districts located in 6 Indonesian provinces that also work
as a caucus of the Association of Regency Governments throughout Indonesia (APKASI).
Currently, LTKL is also working side by side with 26 global, national & regional
multi-stakeholder networks of partners who voluntarily support LTKL achieving its common
goals that was translated into LTKL Declaration of Sustainable District Vision that was
announced formally in 2021.
LTKL General Assembly in 2017 formally established and elected a Secretariat Team. Since
then, the Secretariat have provided strategic support for the members and partners network,
allowing the platform to gain initial momentum; expand its network and exposure; and
coordinate collaborative activities through various fora.

PURPOSE OF THE ROLE:
The Sustainable Investment Development Consultant plays a key role in unlocking
accessible and appropriate financing for local private actors at the district level, including
farmers, cooperatives, SMEs, and supply chain actors. The consultant translates complex
financial instruments into practical solutions tailored to the local economic landscape,
regulatory environment, and risk profile. This includes identifying capital needs—such as for
production, processing, or aggregation—and aligning these needs with available funding
sources from banks, non-bank financial institutions, investors, and philanthropic
organizations.
In addition, the consultant leads research and the design of innovative financing
mechanisms that are attractive to capital providers while remaining fair and feasible for local
actors. By analyzing district-level opportunities and constraints, the role helps develop
implementable financing structures such as blended finance, revolving funds, or other
instruments. This position is strategically important to the division and to LTKL’s broader
2030 vision, requiring collaboration across units to ensure that sustainable investment
initiatives enable districts to grow into resilient, thriving, and inclusive economic regions.
Your role holds a strategic function in fulfilling the core objectives of its respective division,
while also being integral to the Secretariat’s collective contribution toward achieving LTKL’s
2030 vision. Although the role operates within a specific area of expertise, you are expected
to collaborate across units and contribute meaningfully to the implementation of the pillars
that underpin LTKL’s shared goal: enabling member districts to transition into sustainable
and thriving regions. The ability to align divisional work with cross-cutting priorities—such as
inclusive governance, nature-based economy, data reliability, and narrative amplification—is
essential to ensure that the organization’s overall impact is coherent, measurable, and
transformational. Your role is therefore vital not only to the strength of your division but also
to the broader success of LTKL’s sustainable district agenda.
