Development of Capacity Building Materials for Gender Integration
1. Background Information
On November 19, 2011, the Government of Indonesia (GOI) signed a Millennium Challenge Compact
(Compact) with the Government of the United States of America, acting through the Millennium
Challenge Corporation (MCC). The goal of the Compact is to reduce poverty through economic
growth. It will be implemented by the GOI, acting through Millennium Challenge Account (MCA)-
Indonesia, and will consist of three main projects: Green Prosperity (GP), nutrition, and procurement
modernization. Social and gender analysis is being integrated across activities under each of the
overall compact themes and has informed the project design. The Compact requires the GOI to
complete a Social and Gender Integration Plan setting out a concrete set of actions for each project to
ensure compliance with MCCs Gender Policy. The Compact also includes complementary funding to
achieve these objectives and facilitate gender integration at the policy, institutional and capacity
building levels. This consultancy will be focused on the GP project and its capacity building needs for
social and gender integration.

GP Project Overview
The GP Project will promote higher levels of environmentally sustainable growth as set forth in the
GOIs medium to long-term development plans. The broad objective of the Green Prosperity Project
is to increase and sustain productivity of natural resource-based economic activity in Indonesia, while
reducing reliance on fossil fuels. In particular, the project will provide a combination of technical and
financial assistance to raise and sustain household incomes of Indonesians through the expansion of
renewable energy, improvements in land administration, spatial planning, and land and resource
management at the local and district level, and the development of higher productivity economic
activities which are more sustainable, while reducing land-based greenhouse gas emissions.

The Compact articulates four specific activities under the GP project.

I. GP Facility Financing Activity: The GP Facility will finance projects in renewable energy,
natural resource management and other productive sectors which are natural resource
intensive. The GP Facility will contain at least two funding alternatives (referred to in the
Compact as windows):(i) financing commercial scale renewable energy investments as well
as private sector investments in natural resource management; and (ii) providing grants to
support community-based, small scale renewable energy and other projects to promote
sustainable natural resource management and improve land use practices.

The GP Facility may also consider providing both grants and commercial financing for a
particular project or for different elements of the same project, e.g. full or partial grants for
feasibility studies combined with partial or full financing on commercial terms for an
approved project. This GP Facility could have sub-facilities to serve as on-lending facility, a
first-loss facility, subordinated or mezzanine debt, a grant facility (for both full and partial
grants), a partial credit guarantor, or a combination of the above, as appropriate to maximize

the degree to which, as a whole, the GP Facility: (i) leverages Compact resources with those
of project beneficiaries; (ii) avoids distorting the choice of scale or institutional arrangement
in order to access more grant support; and (iii) increases the likelihood that those resources
are delivered so as to increase investments by private sector and community members, rather
than funding projects that would likely take place without such support (i.e., the
additionality of the Facility and GP Project); and (iv) provides an avenue for poor
communities and households to access financing for renewable energy, NRM, etc. in order to
promote poverty reduction and economic activity.

II. Participatory Land Use Planning Activity: The purpose of this activity is to ensure that
projects funded by the GP Facility are designed on the basis of accurate spatial and land use
data, and adhere to and reinforce existing national laws, regulations, and plans. This activity
also will help strengthen the capacity of local communities and district level institutions to
manage their own land and resources. MCC funding will support: (i) administrative boundary
setting; (ii) updating and integrating inventories of land and other natural resource use
licenses and other relevant data; and (iii) updating spatial plans.

III. Technical Assistance and Oversight: The purpose of this activity is to develop a pipeline of
projects for the GP Facility while facilitating significant stakeholder consultations at the local
level. Technical assistance will be provided to district governments, project sponsors,
community groups, and financial institutions to assist with the preparation of low carbon
development work plans, project identification and design, preparation of business plans and
funding applications and capacity building, where necessary. This assistance could take one
of several forms: deploying one or more of the employees, consultants, or firms under
contract with MCA-I or a TA Consultancy Firm to do specified tasks; providing full or partial
cash grants or loans to project sponsors for feasibility studies, environmental assessments,
gender assessments or other preparatory work.

IV. Green Knowledge Activity: The objective of this activity is to build local, provincial, and
national capacity to advance Indonesias low carbon development strategy nationwide within
the context of the GP Project. Specifically, MCC funding will support: (i) capacity building
for local and provincial stakeholders to stimulate a shift toward low carbon development
policies in local and provincial governments and to support the sustainability of MCCs
investment in the GP Project; and (ii) development and improvement of centers of excellence
at selected Indonesian universities in science and technology related to low carbon
development with an emphasis on renewable energy and closely related areas of natural
resource management.

These activities will take place at the district level, beginning initially with four districts in Sulbar and
Jambi.

2. Background of the Assignment
MCC recognizes that gender inequality can be a significant constraint to economic growth and
poverty reduction. MCCs gender policy and operational guidance ensure that gender will be
considered in the selection of eligible countries and integrated into the development and design of
Compact programs, the assessment and implementation of projects, the monitoring of program results,
and the evaluation of program impacts (for more information on MCCs gender policy, see
http://www.mcc.gov/documents/guidance/mcc-policy-gender.pdf.
One of the key GP project selection criteria is ensuring equal access for women and vulnerable
groups to the project or its benefits. To help the GP project meet this objective, adequate capacity of
various GP stakeholders to understand and meet the social and gender requirements will be crucial.
Capacity building on gender will help enable local governments, NGOs, private sector implementers,
GP Facility and other program staff, and any other implementing partners to effectively integrate

Indonesian, MCC and MCA-I gender requirements in provinces and districts where Compact
activities will be funded, as well as to develop and adequately apply proactive measures to ensure
benefits to women and vulnerable groups from GP investments.
3. Objectives of the Assignment
This consultancy will be focused on developing a capacity building package (concept, model,
strategy, action plan, and achievement indicator), including training modules, concise, actionable
tools, training and informational materials, training and workshop plans for GP stakeholders and
potential funding beneficiaries, including NGO and private sector project developers, government
partners, and other possible partner organizations that will be involved in GP implementation.

4. Scope of Work
a. Stakeholder mapping
The consultant will map relevant GP stakeholders for whom capacity and knowledge building would
be useful or necessary. As part of this work, the Consultant is expected to identify and provide a
comprehensive mapping of the institutions and organizations in the starter GP districts in Jambi and
Sulbar provinces such as:
- Local government agencies involved in GP implementation
- Utility companies
- Project developers/likely and potential grant or loan recipients
- Local banks
- NGO partners (e.g. land use planning NGOs and others)
- Other local organization likely to partner with GP or submit proposals
- Any other relevant stakeholders who would be required to understand apply the social and
gender criteria.

b. Needs assessment
Once the stakeholders have been identified, the Consultant will conduct a needs assessment to
determine the level of knowledge and awareness present within the institutions and identify any gaps.
This information will be used to determine what types of capacity building modules, including
modules and training materials are needed for the various institutions and stakeholders, as well as the
types of messages and content that will best resonate and be most useful to them at different stages of
the GP project development and implementation process (e.g. feasibility studies stage,
implementation stage, construction stage). Some examples of modules and content that will be needed
may include:
- General gender training module what is gender and why does it matter?
- Module on the Indonesian framework on gender and gender mainstreaming
requirements/policies
- Module on MCC gender policies, MCA-I gender requirements and GP-specific gender
requirements that project implementers/stakeholders must meet
- Gender-sensitive consultations - ensuring the active and substantive participation of women
and vulnerable groups
- Basic gender inequalities and issues to consider at provincial/district level in preparing a
project proposal or loan/grant application
- Tools and tips for facilitating economic opportunities for women in renewable energy
projects during project development and implementation
- Social and Gender Integration Plan and the Environmental and Social Management System
(ESMS) what is it and how do you comply?
- Practical how-to guides/tools/tip-sheets (e.g. how to conduct gender inclusive consultations;
key steps to integrate gender into a project proposal; how to monitor and assess impacts
during implementation to ensure equitable outcomes).

c. Review existing capacity building modules, including training modules and other relevant
materials
Once the Consultant has identified the knowledge needs and the types of materials required, s/he will
identify and review existing capacity building modules, including training modules, training
methods/strategies and other relevant materials that have already been developed by MCCs Social
and Gender Assessment team, other government agencies, regional institutions, international
organizations and NGOs. For example, the Ministry of Womens Affairs may have training materials
and tools that could be referenced and used, as do several donors agencies in Indonesia. Several large
international organizations have also developed tools and guides on gender and environment/natural
resource management that the Consultant should consider to ensure existing useful materials are taken
advantage of. This task should include a review of good practices and lessons learned on conducting
effective gender capacity building, as well as training and disseminating information to non-experts in
a compelling and easy-to-understand manner. Overall, this exercise should help ensure that relevant
existing materials are utilized to the extent possible and that new materials do not duplicate what
already exists.

d. Developing capacity building modules, including training modules and training materials
Based on the results of the needs assessments and literature review, the Consultant will prepare a
package of capacity building materials which incorporate the MCC Gender Policy and
implementation milestones as well as national gender mainstreaming frameworks. The capacity
building modules should be targeted to specific stakeholders identified during the stakeholder
mapping and should include concept, model, strategy, action plan, and achievement indicator, as well
as training plans, presentations, exercises and other materials as necessary. Also included should be
practical how-to guides, tip sheets, frequently asked questions, or other materials as appropriate.
Materials should be tailored to specific GP stakeholders and should be simple, user-friendly and easy
to understand and implement by a range of GP stakeholders, most of whom will not be experts in
gender issues.

Prior to and as necessary during the development of the materials, the Consultant should seek advice
and input from relevant stakeholders to confirm that the capacity building materials are in line with
their needs and provide helpful and concrete entry points to action in GP activities.

The Consultant should expect that the materials will be developed through an iterative process and
that they will need to be revised one or more times based on feedback from the MCA-Indonesia.

e. Capacity Building Plan
In conjunction with the development of capacity building materials, the Consultant shall develop a
concrete plan, including a suggested program and schedule, for a comprehensive capacity building
program for GP stakeholders.

f. Validation
Once the capacity building modules and materials are complete, the Consultant will work with the
MCA-Indonesia to conduct a pre-test of capacity building modules, including training materials for
GP stakeholders at both the national and subnational, project levels. In addition to the pre-test, the
Consultant should present the final draft of the capacity building modules, including training materials
to the relevant government Ministries and other national and subnational institutions. As part of this
effort, the Consultant may hold small workshops and consultations with GP stakeholders.

Following the validation process, the capacity building modules, including training materials
should be revised taking into account stakeholder comments and other observations and
information obtained during the validations process. This information should also be reflected in
the final set of materials submitted.
