SUMMARY Winrock is looking to hire a Public Private
Partnership Specialist to join with USAID LESTARI Project (LESTARI) existing
team in its office in Jakarta, Indonesia. LESTARI facilitates PPPs to catalyze
private sector support to leverage impact for low emissions development
strategies and forest conservation at the landscape level based on a
development hypothesis that the private sector has the incentives and resources
to play a meaningful role in expanding the impact of LESTARI’s work in
collaboration with other government, community and civil society partners. PPP
opportunities include industry certification, value chain support, incentives
for use of best environmental and/or agricultural management practices, and
conservation management plans for natural forest concessions, industrial
plantations, smallholder plantations and value chains critical to improved
livelihoods. Moreover, privately held firms drive local economies and
deforestation, so they need to be included in any approach to slow emissions
and promote biodiversity conservation. 
Firms also are under growing pressures to meet rapidly evolving
sustainability and reduced emissions standards. LESTARI seeks engagement with a
wide range of firms, and is also exploring partnerships with American firms or
firms doing significant business with the USA.  The PPP specialist will be supporting the overall
work of Technical Theme 3 (Private Sector Engagement) related to PPP works.
S/he will be responsible in keeping track of the implementing PPP activities
within all LESTARI landscapes and also assist Winrock to develop a broader,
complimentary program of work in this topic area. The PPP specialist will also

agreements. Where applicable, the PPP specialist is also working with the
