Job code: UNFPA/IDN/ICC/24/01
Objectives and scope of the work
The purpose of this Population Situational Analysis (PSA) is to comprehensively assess the challenges and priorities outlined by the Government of Indonesia in population-related areas. The PSA will leverage population dynamics to underscore the interconnectedness of development objectives with social, economic, political, and cultural processes. Aligned with international agreements and UNFPA goals in Indonesia, the PSA aims to pinpoint inequalities, promote rights, and contribute to achieving UNFPA objectives.
This consultancy entails the creation and delivery of a comprehensive policy-focused publication, approximately 60-80 pages in length (excluding annexes), addressing the Population Situational Analysis (PSA). This publication aims to provide an integrated examination of population and reproductive health dynamics, elucidating their interconnections and impacts on inequality and development, including crises. Tailored for a broad audience, particularly decision-makers at various government levels, monitoring specialists in the socio-economic sector, and civil society organizations engaged in safeguarding social rights, the report's content may also appeal to academic staff and students specializing in population issues and the demographic aspects of socio-economic development in Indonesia.
The PSA should primarily rely on the latest official data or other credible sources available to support the analysis, incorporating references to relevant literature for a comprehensive understanding. Furthermore, the deliverables should encompass a technical report from UNFPA, incorporating the outcomes and recommendations to contribute to the refinement of the technocratic document for the Indonesian Medium-Term Development Plan (RPJMN) 2025-2029. UNFPA will progressively upload pertinent data and literature to
