SKALA Monitoring Evaluation Learning (MEL) Coordinator

SKALA Monitoring Evaluation Learning (MEL) Coordinator​ 

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 Indonesias large and complex decentralised government system responsible for the delivery of basic services (Layanan Dasar). The SKALA Programs 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 Australias previous 19 years of support to Indonesias 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. In addition to the 3 pillars, SKALA works across 4 general themes of Public Financial Management, Minimum Service Standards, Data and Analysis and GEDSI.
