Background
I. Background
In July 2010, the United Nations General Assembly created UN Women, the United Nations Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women. In doing so, UN Member States took an historic step in accelerating the Organization’s goals on gender equality and the empowerment of women. In line with its 2014-2017 Strategic Plan, preventing and eliminating violence against women and girls is one of the key strategic priorities for UN Women. As part of its coordinating function to lead and coordinate the work of the UN system in the area of gender equality and women’s empowerment, UN Women hosts the global and regional Secretariats for the United Nations Secretary-General’s UNiTE to End Violence against Women Campaign and also serves as the Administrator to the UN Trust Fund in Support of Actions to Eliminate Violence against Women.
In Asia and the Pacific, as in other regions, UN Women is prioritizing the prevention of and response to violence against women and girls (VAWG) as part of its work under Development Results Framework 3 (“Women and girls live a life free from violence”). Progress towards this goal is achieved through the provision of technical advisory services and capacity-building of regional, national and local partners to support the development and implementation of laws and policies to prevent and respond to VAWG; the creation of knowledge and tools, including through research and practice; the implementation of evidence-based programmes, including Joint Programmes; and by leading and guiding UN system inter-agency coordination in this area.
In June 2013, UN Women Regional Office for Asia and the Pacific and the Government of Australia signed a cost-sharing agreement for a 2.5 year programme entitled Leveraging Technical Tools, Evidence and Community Engagement to Advance the Implementation of Laws and Provision of Services to Women Experiencing Violence in East and Southeast Asia: Phase I (2013-2015). The overall goal of this programme is to advance the implementation of laws and provision of services to women experiencing violence in Asia and the Pacific, with a particular focus on Southeast Asian countries. Under this goal, the focus will be on:

  Enhancing evidence and capacity on the implementation, monitoring and evaluation of national laws and action plans on VAWG;

  Increasing national evidence and capacity on costing the implementation of multi-sectoral critical services packages for VAW survivors;

  Strengthening regional evidence- and knowledge-sharing; and

  Increasing knowledge and capacity for community-led social mobilization. In Indonesia, UN Women is also already involved in a number of EVAW activities, such as the  Costing Study on Multisectoral Services to Women and Girls Subjected to Violence, supporting the provincial government of Papua to develop regulation on protection of domestic violence victims and survey on masculinity and violence against women. . UN Women woks together with government and civil society organization in campaigning for EVAW during 16 days of activism. 
Given its programming needs in the area of VAWG in Indonesia,  UN Women Regional Office for Asia and the Pacific is now looking to hire a national programme officer at NOB level to support the planning, implementation, monitoring and reporting of programmes in this area, and to work with national and local partners in Indonesia  to strengthen their capacity to prevent and respond to VAWG in the country.

Besides the four priority areas, UNDP Indonesia is also engaged in a variety of crosscutting initiatives focused on HIV/AIDS, gender equality, and information and technology for development.'
I. Background
Context of the REDD+ initiative:
President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, made a voluntary commitment to the world to reduce emissions as much as 26 percent under a business-as-usual scenario or up to 41 percent with international support by 2020.
Committed to the cause, on 26 May 2010 the Governments of Indonesia and Norway signed a Letter of Intent (LoI) to establish a REDD+ Partnership. The first phase of this REDD+ Partnership (Phase 1) was to establish an agency with the capacity to implement and manage REDD+ projects initially in the pilot province Central Kalimantan and progressively in other priority provinces across Indonesia. A Task Force (Satuan Tugas, Satgas) was established to support this initial phase and, as of June 2013 at the end of the Task Force's mandate, the following progress was achieved:

• Presidential Regulation regarding the establishment of a REDD+ Agency and governance of REDD+ in Indonesia is issued;
• Finalisation of a REDD+ National Strategy (Stranas) and development of Provincial Strategies and Action Plans (PSAPs) for the eleven priority provinces;
• Agreement on, and legal basis for, the structure and operations of a REDD+ Financial Instrument (FREDDI); its implementation awaits the establishment of the REDD+ Agency and the subsequent release of funding for Phase 2 of the LoI;
• A methodology, partially trialled, for the structure and Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) of the MRV technical unit; while international standards and an international/national REDD+ registry remain in development, the unit is ready for mobilisation following the establishment of the REDD+ Agency;
• Legal review of regulatory requirements related to REDD+ implementation in particular land tenure, forest and peat-land governance, forest monitoring and law enforcement, consolidation of land concessions, and a Moratorium on all new concessions for conversion of peat and natural forest in Indonesia; and
• Successful implementation of a wide range of projects by the REDD+ Task Force in the pilot province Central Kalimantan with a focus on developing an operational capacity and an enabling environment for REDD+ projects.

These achievements have prepared a basic foundation for a future REDD+ national programme that aims to address the emission-reduction target for the forestry and peat-land sectors and the national long-term goals Assistantd with sustainable economic development and poverty reduction.
Context of this TOR:
The second phase of the Indonesian-Norway partnership will commence following the establishment of the REDD+ Agency and its technical units, the Funding Instrument (FREDDI) and the Measuring, Reporting and Verification (MRV). As the mandate of the REDD+ Task Force ended in June 2013, a REDD+ Special Team (Tim Khusus REDD+, Timsus) has been established by UKP-PPP to oversee the transition period required for the REDD+ Agency to be formally established and operational. This Special Team is assigned to ensure that those activities initiated by the REDD+ Task Force are either completed or further advanced with clear milestones and actions plans that will enable a seamless hand-over to the REDD+ Agency when it is operational. The mandate of this REDD+ Special Team will end in December 2013.
Having established the REDD+ Body based on Presidential Decree 62/2013, President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono has appointed Head of Badan REDD+ on December 2013. Soon after this appointment, the Head of Badaan REDD+ requested UNDP REDD+ PMU to support establishment of proper office for the Body to run its day to day operations.
As further follow up to the request, REDD+ PMU decided to form a special team led by a Common Services Associate to take overall responsiblility in the office establishment as well as ensuring its proper technical General and Administration process during the establishment as well as the future maintanance.
Under the overall guidance and supervision of the Common Services Associate, the Common Service Assistant (CSA) assists in providing overall administration and execution of varied and inter-related operational and logistical activites in establishing the REDD+ Body office, ensuring high quality and accuracy of work. The CSA promotes a client, quality and results-oriented approach.
The CSA works in close collaboration with the Operations and Programme staff to exchange information and ensure consistent service delivery. He/She will also work on the day to day basis within the Operations team on Common Service matters. The interaction with the supervisor will take place on a daily basis, thus allowing continuous performance monitoring against the work plan.
