II. Background Information



United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) aim at synchronizing government priorities with the citizens’ immediate expectations to further develop and entrench democratic values in society - for the consolidation of a truly democratic political system. Through its Governance Reform and DPRD Empowerment (GRADE) Project in partnership with the Directorate General of the Regional Autonomy of the Ministry of Home Affairs, UNDP is facilitating efforts to strengthen the capacity of the local parliamentarians (DPRD) and to enhance the accountability and functioning of the DPRD in implementing core functions i.e. of legislative, budgetary and oversight for Sulawesi provinces, districts, and municipalities DPRDs.

Unlike in the past when DPRDs were viewed as rubber stamps of the central government, devolution of functions to the regions has greatly increased DPRD powers. They not only make local rules and regulation (PERDA’s), but the role to monitor and oversee the local governments. As stated in Law 32/2004, DPRD’s has obligation and authority to conduct oversight of implementation PERDA’s and other regulations, decision of governor regents/mayors, implementation local budget, local executive policy and implementation with respect to international cooperation in the region. The provision strengthens not only the role of DPRD in policy-making, but also its authority to monitor local government and other officials. The DPRD oversight aims at establishment of institutional checks and balances between DPRD and local executive. People are increasingly aware of the DPRD’s role in monitoring government activities as part of their duties to represent the interest of society. Though the awareness is not yet widespread, it has pushed the DPRDs to act on complaint and grievances expressed by their constituents with respect to local policies and the quality of public services.

As part of its oversight role, the DPRDs have responsibility to follow up the BPK (Badan Pemeriksa Keuangan/ Audit Board)audit results report. Law No 15, 2004 stipulated that before head of region (governor or Major/Regent) submit their accountability report to DPRD, the financial report is prior to BPK audits, BPK then submit its audit result report to DPRD’s. Base on this BPK report DPRD should undertake measures to follow up the BPK audit results. Success in implementing the responsibilities of local parliaments oversight function very much depends on their capacity and capability in undertaking their responsibilities. The capacity of DPRD members to supervise action taken by the executive as response to BPK audits results is a critical factor in making local government accountable to the people. In practice this duty is rarely performed with effectiveness in many DPRD in the regions of Indonesia due to insufficient capacity –lack necessary knowledge and skills to conduct oversight effectively- of DPRD’s– Unclear mechanism and procedure on how to conduct follow up of BPK audit results is also constraint faced by DPRD.



GRADE Project has recently received a request from the Provincial DPRD of Gorontalo to support their oversight performance particularly on how to follow up the BPK audit results report. Based on this need, GRADE Project will provide technical facilitation for Provincial DPRD of Gorontalo follow up of BPK audit results report capacity strengthening.

Communication Project Manager with Greenpeace

Subject: Job Oppt - Communication Project Manager with Greenpeace

Greenpeace is looking for a Communication Project Manager to create and deliver world changing communications for our climate campaign. If you can demonstrate a potent imagination, an analytical mind, an ability to execute work effectively, quickly and under pressure and to learn from the results we'd like to talk to you.



We'd like you to be comfortable working with our multi-talented team to turn your ideas into anything from a press release to a rock concert, a
website or a ship tour. Most of all we want you to turn messages into change.

As an international organisation that works around the world we like our staff to speak more than one language. Climate change is a pressing problem, so we like to hire people with experience and a track record of getting things done.

The position carries a salary around 40 000 euros and is based in Amsterdam.
