Data Innovation Analyst (Climate Change) 1

Location: Jakarta, Indonesia
APPLICATIONS CLOSE – 5^th January 2025, 5 PM Jakarta time.

Program Background

The SKALA Program is a significant Australian investment designed to help Indonesia address regional disparities in development. SKALA will contribute to this objective by strengthening selected elements of Indonesia’s large and complex decentralised government system responsible for the delivery of basic services (Layanan Dasar). The SKALA Program’s core approach is to facilitate better collaboration (Kolaborasi) between Indonesian government stakeholders, at national and subnational levels, to help realise synergies (Sinergi) that will trigger improved service delivery. Moreover, SKALA will build on, and take to scale, the successes and learning from Australia’s previous 19 years of support to Indonesia’s decentralised government system. The SKALA Program is to be implemented through the following three pillars:

• Pillar 1: Stronger national level enabling environment for sub-national service delivery 
• Pillar 2: Better sub-national governance for service delivery
• Pillar 3: Greater participation, representation and influence for women, people with disabilities and vulnerable groups

SKALA is implemented at the national level with an office in Jakarta and at the subnational level with offices in Aceh, Nusa Tenggara Barat, Nusa Tenggara Timur, Maluku, Gorontalo, Kalimantan Utara, Tanah Papua (Papua, Papua Barat, Papua Barat Daya, Papua Tengah, Papua Selatan, Papua Pegunungan). In addition to the 3 pillars, SKALA works across 4 general themes of Public Financial Management, Minimum Service Standards, Data and Analysis and Gender Equality, Disability, and Social Inclusion.

The Role

​​​Data Innovation Analyst (Climate Change) will support SKALA by conducting data visualisation that displays the impact of sea level rise due to climate change on poor and vulnerable populations in SKALA provinces. The consultant will conduct a GIS modelling using: (i) micro data and by-name-by-address (BNBA) point data from the SEPAKAT-Regsosek database, (ii) administrative boundary shapefiles; (iii) the latest network and river network spatial data, (iii) land use shapefiles extracted from available satellite imagery data; (iv) basic services facilities point data; (v) DEM data provided by United Nations Global Pulse (UNGP); and other data.

SKALA will guide the consultant in using the necessary methodology to develop a comparative map to visualizes the impact of the sea level rise if central and/or local governments in SKALA provinces recommend systematic action to reduce its impact. The consultant will support SKALA in disseminating the interactive maps and sea level rise disaster risk information to local governments through regional workshops. In terms of data, SKALA will only provide access to microdata and BNBA from SEPAKAT-Regsosek. The consultant is expected to independently collect the required open-access satellite imagery and digital elevation data, if needed.

Expected results from this support:

1. All relevant local governments in SKALA provinces are expected to integrate the recommendations from this work into their mid-term development plan (RPJMD) and/or annual development plan (RKPD).
2. All relevant local governments in SKALA provinces will be aware of the impact of sea level rise on basic service delivery and the 2045 vision (zero poverty) due to climate change.
