Vacancy for Monitoring and Evaluation Consultant – The World Bank (Indonesia Social Development / LSP Unit)

  BACKGROUNDThe World Bank has supported community and village
development in Indonesia for over 16 years. 
Since 2007, the PNPM Support Facility, a Multi-Donor Trust fund (MDTF)
managed by the Bank’s Global Practice for Social, Urban and Rural Development,
and Resilience (GSURR), has financed technical assistance, analytical and
advisory activities as well as operations that support the Government of
Indonesia’s implementation of its community-based poverty alleviation platform,
including its flagship PNPM Rural program. Via this platform and its associated
program Government of Indonesia (GoI) has invested in the capacity of
communities to identify development priorities and manage resources equitably
and accountably.
To continue to support the Government to achieve its
development objectives in this new context, PNPM Support Facility was
restructured into Local Solutions to Poverty (LSP), which provides support to
the Indonesian Government to enable it to achieve its development priorities through
local solutions to reduce poverty and inequality. The restructuring aims to
better meet the Government’s ongoing demand for knowledge products,
well-designed and innovative lending operations, and enhanced implementation
support. LSP no longer distributes community block grants, but instead focus
its efforts through the Village Law.

As part of the restructuring of the program, the World
Bank Indonesia Social Development Team is currently developing a program wide
results framework, which will then culminate in an M&E system for the
program.

teams are accommodated, the Secretariat intends to recruit a Monitoring and
