We are currently seeking to recruit a *Short-term Civil Society Engagement

Indonesia's
Islands of Integrity Program for Sulawesi (SIPS). The project will assist
local governments in Sulawesi in implementing transparent government
administration practices in three areas: a) licensing and identification
cards, b) performance incentives, and c) procurement.
The short-term advisor will be needed for approximately 25 working days
during the Inception Phase (27 August to 31 December 2010), with the
possibility of further intermittent work over the life of the Project. Work
will take place in Jakarta, Sulawesi Utara, Sulawesi Selatan and possibly
elsewhere.

in the selection process as required.
· Provide relevant and current information concerning the names,
types, scope of activities and quality/reputation of relevant CSOs and key
civil society individuals in Sulawesi Utara and Sulawesi Selatan working in
the area of anti-corruption, with whom the Project should dialogue and
potentially involve in various Project activities. Relevant CSOs outside
these two provinces may also be included in this task.
*Qualifications*
· minimum of undergraduate degree in a relevant field (e.g. social
sciences, public administration); advanced degree preferred;

including women's groups, academic institutions and/or the private sector,

and individuals;

groups/individuals (including private sector and academia) in building
relationships and linkages with government decision makers and officials
particularly concerning decision making and service delivery;
· familiarity/experience with donor-assisted development projects;
· sound understanding of the importance of civil society in
providing an oversight role with local government;
- familiarity with decentralized governance in Indonesia, including
transparency and accountability mechanisms;
- demonstrated ability to engage with government entities in a
