INOVASI Phase 2 - Program Support Consultant

Company Overview:

Palladium is a global leader in the design, development and delivery of Positive Impact - the intentional creation of enduring social and economic value. We work with foundations, investors, governments, corporations, communities and civil society to formulate strategies and implement solutions that generate lasting social, environmental and financial benefits. 

For the past 50 years, we have been making Positive Impact possible. With a team of more than 2,500 employees operating in 90 plus countries and a global network of more than 35,000 technical experts, Palladium has improved - and is committed to continuing to improve - economies, societies and most importantly, people's lives. 

Palladium is a child-safe organisation, and screens applicants for suitability to work with children. We also provide equal employment to all participants and employees without regard to race, color, religion, gender, age, disability, sexual orientation, veteran or marital status. 

Project Overview and Role:

Background:

Indonesia's education system has made remarkable progress over the last two decades. Increased spending and a range of policy reforms have led to gender-balanced, near-universal school enrolment. Achievement against access targets has been good, but the challenges of improving quality and equity remain. A majority of Indonesian children do not acquire the fundamental skills needed to participate in the economy, society or further education, and are falling further behind their peers in the region and globally. 
The Government of Australia (GoA), through the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT), is partnering with the Government of Indonesia (GoI) to improve education quality by supporting improved effectiveness and efficiency of Indonesia's basic education systems.

Phase II of the Innovation for Indonesia's School Children (INOVASI) program, builds on Phase I of both INOVASI and the Technical Assistance for Education System Strengthening (TASS) program. The integrated program supports national and sub-national partners (e.g. districts, civil society organisations) to pilot school-level approaches to strengthen teaching and learning, and respond to requests for targeted policy support at national level. Phase II is planned to run from July 2020 to December 2023. It will collaborate closely with the GoI at the district, provincial and national level to develop and implement action-oriented research and pilots to answer the broad question: "What works to improve student learning outcomes in Indonesia?" It will focus on three sub-topics of investigation: the quality of teaching in the classroom, the quality of support for teachers, and learning for all.

The Program is managed by Palladium on behalf of DFAT.

WE ARE CURRENTLY RECRUITING FOR THE FOLLOWING POSITION:

• Program Support Consultant for EPP - https://palladium.csod.com/ux/ats/careersite/2/home/requisition/10828?c=palladium  (closed on 8 Mar 2021)

[newdevjobsindo] Request for Proposal Agriculture Livelihood Project in Southwest Sumba (support for agriculture livelihoods and food security)

Februari 26, 2021   Comment  

Request for Proposal

Agriculture Livelihood Project in Southwest Sumba

(support for agriculture livelihoods and food security)

Background

Agriculture continues to be an important sector in Indonesia in contributing to the national economic development. Between 2015-2019, the "Nawacita" policy has directed the agriculture development with the goal of ensuring the national food security. The agriculture sector also still employs the highest proportion of the national labor force in Indonesia at about 25.19% (2019 BPS data, estimated at 31.87 million out of 133.56 million workforce). In 2020, the Ministry of Agriculture released its new strategic plan for the period of 2020-2024. This new strategic plan policy takes on the outcomes of the previous period with the additional focus on three general objectives which is to achieve an advanced, independent and modern agriculture. The ministry's main strategies include 1) improving farmers' welfare, 2) achieving food security and 3) increasing the competitiveness of domestically produced agricultural commodities. However, in general the agricultural sector is still plagued by low productivity primarily caused by a gap in knowledge and skills as well as access to agricultural resources. This is especially true in Southwest Sumba, where William & Lily Foundation is currently working in Sumba island.

Established in 2007, Southwest Sumba is one of the poorest districts in Eastern Indonesia with a population of 313,127 (2020 estimate), the highest compared to other districts on the island. The Southwest Sumba district faces an increasing number of those living below the poverty line which was at 28.06% in 2019[1]. Although it is a slight decrease from 2016 (30.63%), the number is significantly higher than the national average (9.78%, as per BPS report released in March 2020). Agriculture is the main livelihood activities for the people in Southwest Sumba, either as the main source of income or main source of food consumption. Latest district statistic data stated that most livelihood activities and main source of income is from agricultural and forestry activities (75.9%). This sector holds 75.97% workforce (out of 155,953 eligible workforces in the district) and contribute to roughly 40.11% Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP). Recent assessment carried out by the William & Lily Foundation (WLF) provides insight on issues and challenges faced by farmer groups especially on the gap in agricultural knowledge and skills that impact productivity and organizational/managerial capacity. Reduced productivity in the long term will not only affect the family income, but also potentially affect the family's food security. One well-known challenge Southwest Sumba's agricultural sector faces is the short period of rainfall annually. The assessment that was carried out during the second half of 2020 highlighted additional characteristics and challenges of the agricultural sector and ecosystem in Southwest Sumba:

·        The majority of farmers in Southwest Sumba practice subsistence agriculture and are over 40 years old farmers with low education background, i.e., incomplete elementary school or no schooling. Their lack of access to proper farming knowledge and skills as well as access to innovative technology for post-harvesting are reflected in the partial adoption of good agriculture practices (GAP) and good handling practices (GHP).

·        While current practices have, in general, satisfied food security at the household level, there are gaps in knowledge and skills on crop selection, long-term planning, pest control and cultivation that have prevented the farmers to achieve higher productivity and higher quality harvest which leave them vulnerabilities to certain risks. These risks include nutrition insecurity at household level as well as unpredictable agriculture calendar due to climate change and natural disasters.

·        Farmers in Southwest Sumba generally organize themselves into groups (Kelompok tani -- Poktan). There are clear needs for better organizational, managerial and business development capacity. The inability to carefully plan agricultural activities to produce higher-level outputs as well as a low level of trust among members add to the challenges of positioning these groups as a body that can access financial services and can negotiate fair prices.

·        Access to financial services remain elusive to some farmers due to lack of information, while on the other hand the lack of collateral and lack of business planning by farmers' groups have prevented financial institutions from extending their services to these groups.

·        Farmers have little access to market, typically having little options aside from selling to middlemen and have no negotiation power on prices.

·        The district government has continuously supported the farmers through provision of seeds, subsidized fertilizers and some tools to improve productivity but does not have a systematic way to share knowledge on GAP and GHP. 

 

On the other hand, the following are some characteristics identified through the assessment that could be advantageous or leveraged in improving the livelihood of agricultural households in Southwest Sumba:

·        Average land ownership ranging from 500 to 1,000 square meters per farmer.

·        Key commodities of corn and rice are known for drought resistance.

·        2,342 farmers groups registered in Southwest Sumba.

·        Women farmers groups (Kelompok Tani Wanita) actively process key agricultural commodities into food products, e.g., corn tortillas, coffee powder, moringa chips and cashew nuts at a small scale. Constraints include limited business development capacity such as in marketing and packaging as well as access to market.  

·        Many villages have set up the village business unit (BUM Desa), but few are running optimally and there is often a gap in knowledge and skills within the community related to managing and operating the unit.

·        The Governor of East Nusa Tenggara has rolled out the Tanam Jagung Panen Sapi (TJPS) program in 2018-2023 to intensify dry-land farming that focuses on increasing corn productivity and cattle population in two areas of implementation which include Sumba. Support in this program includes provision of seeds, fertilizer and agricultural equipment from the agricultural district office and monitoring, technical support as well as mentoring by the agricultural extension officer (petugas penyuluh lapangan).

 

About William & Lily Foundation

The William & Lily Foundation (WLF) is a Jakarta-based philanthropic organization established in 2009. Our mission is to empower vulnerable and marginalized communities by bridging learning with access to opportunities. As an active grant-making foundation, we work closely with local implementation partners on four focus areas: education, health, economic empowerment and enabling environment.

 

Project Description

William & Lily Foundation plans to develop a project to support agricultural livelihood in Southwest Sumba, focusing on: (i) capacity building of farmers groups on organizational structure, management and business development to better represent the needs of farmers and agricultural communities as a group and (ii) improved knowledge and skills on good agricultural practices including planning, crop selection and post-harvest processing to improve productivity. Additionally, WLF is also keen for the project to address vulnerabilities at the household and community level, particularly on food/nutrition insecurity and longer-term food needs. WLF envision the project to target existing farmers groups and other related stakeholders (mentioned above) as indirect beneficiaries. The project should also pay particular attention to advocacy and the enabling environment. The project will be implemented in selected villages in Southwest Sumba.

WLF therefore seeks a non-individual consultant (professional organization/team of individuals under a legal entity) to design and implement this project. WLF is looking for interested organizations to propose an innovative and adaptive design and approach with consideration to current pandemic challenges as well as the Southwest Sumba context and culture. Proposal design should not be limited to address issues during project lifetime, but also narrating opportunities for scalability and sustainability beyond project's lifetime.

 

Duration and Scope

This is foreseen as a two (2) year project with an optional one-year extension, with the first year focusing on finding a way for suitable methods and approaches to build the capacity of farmers groups and to develop platform for participatory learning and sharing. Building from the first year, the second year will be focused on extracting the best practices and developing the strategy for the possibility of scaling up.

 

Approaches

WLF does not provide funding for infrastructure support and instead focuses on leveraging existing assets and maximizing synergies. Hence, WLF believes in project interventions based on capacity building, establishing linkages and advocacy. The Foundation also believes that building ownership among local actors is one of key success of project intervention in order to ensure scalability and sustainability. The interested organizations are encouraged to develop their theory of change with the following thinking:

●       Capacity Building through delivery of capacity building activities for farmers' groups and in building their knowledge and skills on good agricultural practices (adaptive solutions to climate change, post-harvest processing and product development), organizational management and business development while building access to market as well as to financial services, taking into account local wisdom and practices in Southwest Sumba.

●       Establishing Linkages through an initial mapping and identification of roles of key stakeholders in selected villages followed by building commitment and dialogue with selected farmers' groups and other key stakeholders to address the challenges to quality and productivity of their agricultural outputs, including linkages for expanding access of farmers' groups to market and to financial services. The principle of sustainability is particularly important in establishing such enabling environment for the farmers to thrive. End-of-project results must be able to show these sustained commitments and linkages.

●       Advocacy through a sustained engagement and collaboration with relevant stakeholders at village, district and provincial levels to address and advance the agenda of sustainable agricultural livelihood in Southwest Sumba and the need to improve household and community resilience to food/nutrition insecurity and climate change within existing regulatory framework.  A clear and thorough strategy for such engagement to establish an enabling environment for these issues will be required.

 

Indicators of Successful Project

This project will directly contribute to the achievement of the Foundation's long-term outcome on economic empowerment to improve access to financial services and income generating opportunities.  The project will be considered successful with the achievement of several of the following outcomes upon project completion: 

●       Demonstrated improved knowledge and practice on good agriculture practices (GAP, GHP), including planning for agricultural activities and outputs, and where appropriate, post-harvesting activities and product development.

●       Demonstrated improved knowledge and practice on organizational management of farmers' groups as a body that represent farmers' interests and needs with the ability to develop strategic and longer-term business relations to negotiate fair prices, access adaptive agricultural knowledge and technology as well as access market information and access financial services.

●       Demonstrated commitment and clear strategy and thorough action plan for project scalability and sustainability.

●       Demonstrated commitment and/or changes in regulatory framework as part of establishing an enabling environment for sustainable agricultural livelihood with improved household and/or community resilience in food/nutrition insecurity and climate change.

Interested organizations must include proposed theory of change, results framework and other relevant indicators in their technical proposal. The selected organization will work under WLF advisement on the selection of villages for this project, which may involve site visits, in-depth interviews and proper due diligence. WLF is currently working at seven out of 11 sub-districts in Southwest Sumba.
