Note Taker for USAID-GOI CDCS Consultation Workshop (6 positions)
MEL support for USAID/Indonesia
Jakarta, Indonesia
Social Impact (SI) is a Washington, DC-area international development
management consulting firm. SI’s mission is to improve the effectiveness of
international development programs in improving people’s lives. We provide a
full range of management consulting, technical assistance, and training
services to strengthen international development programs, organizations, and
policies. We provide services globally in the areas of monitoring and
evaluation, strategic planning, project and program design, organizational
capacity building, and gender and social analysis. SI services crosscut all
development sectors including democracy and governance, health and education,
the environment, and economic growth. SI’s clients include US government
agencies such as USAID, the Millennium Challenge Corporation, the US Department
of State, bilateral donors, multilateral development banks, foundations, and
non-profits.
The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID)/Indonesia awarded Social
Impact, Inc. (SI) the Monitoring Evaluation and Learning (MEL) Support task
order (TO). The purpose of the TO is to support the design and implementation
of the Country Development Cooperation Strategy (CDCS) for fiscal year (FY)2020
- 2024 by providing technical, consulting, and advisory services related to MEL
to USAID/Indonesia.
The CDCS supports the goals and objectives of the GOI medium- and long-term
development plans (RPJMN 2020-2024 and RPJPN 2005‐2025) and Indonesia’s
long-term aspirations to be “self-reliant, advanced, just, and prosperous”.
USAID’s role will evolve from a strategic partner to strategic advisor. USAID
will promote high commitment and capacity at sub-national level to increase
GOI’s capacity to plan, finance and implement solutions to their own
development.
In this regard, in collaboration with Bappenas, USAID will conduct the CDCS
consultation workshop in early January 2020. The workshop will serve as an
interactive and open conversation with GOI Colleagues and their USG
counterparts. USAID hopes to move forward collectively to build support for
Indonesia’s journey to self-reliance and to achieve lasting impact.
