POSITION DESCRIPTION

Position Title: Project Manager, Public Private Partnerships

LOCATION: Jakarta, Indonesia

Department: Environment Group – Ecosystems Services Unit

Reports to: Director, Ecosystems Services Unit

POSITION SUMMARY

Contingent on funding approval, Winrock is looking to hire a Project Manager, Public Private Partnerships for the USAID/Indonesia LESTARI Program. Winrock is partner in a consortium bidding for this opportunity. Project Manager, Public Private Partnerships (PPPs) will be responsible for implementing a project aimed at reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from palm oil, forestry concessions or other similar activities and ensuring economic and social welfare benefits for local stakeholders, by facilitating the creation or enhancement of PPPs. The Project Manager, Public Private Partnerships will also assist Winrock to develop a broader, complimentary program of work in this topic area. Privately held firms drive local economies and deforestation, so they need to be included in any approach to slow emissions and promote biodiversity conservation. Firms also are under growing pressures to meet rapidly evolving sustainability and reduced emissions standards. However, most do not yet have tools to assess the potential GHG impacts, costs, and efficacy of these emerging goals, or to incorporate Best Management Practices.

The project will develop PPPs to promote and create a program for facilitating the drive towards sustainability in a set of landscapes in several Indonesian provinces, by providing incentives, industry recognition programs, and enhanced market access for participating firms. By constructively engaging conservation specialists with potential private sector investors, business associations at the national and provincial levels, and other financial stakeholders, productive PPPs can be developed that identify real investment incentives and result in adequate financing. Methods are likely to include industry certification, incentives for use of best management practices, and conservation management plans for natural forest concessions, industrial plantations, palm oil plantations and value chains critical to improved livelihoods.
