Job description

The Coalition for Sustainable Livelihoods (CSL) is seeking qualified consultants or organizations to develop District Readiness Profiles for 10 districts in North Sumatra and Aceh. This initiative aims to assess each district’s readiness to implement jurisdictional approaches for sustainable development, focusing on key aspects such as governance, implementation capacity, and potential environmental, social, and production impacts. The results will help CSL identify two districts for deeper collaboration, while also supporting wider knowledge-sharing and engagement across other districts through the CSL network.

Responsibilities

We seek to assess 10 districts across North Sumatra and Aceh to determine feasibility, strategic opportunities, and existing gaps for implementing jurisdictional approaches, to select two districts for deeper partnership and engage the rest through CSL’s broader knowledge-sharing network.

b.Strong Methodological and Analytical Skills

The team must have the capability to develop and apply robust data collection tools (e.g., surveys, interview guides), analyze qualitative and quantitative data, and produce comprehensive readiness profiles with scoring, risk-opportunity analysis, and actionable recommendations across the defined dimensions.

c.Effective Stakeholder Engagement and Workshop Facilitation

The consultant must have experience engaging diverse stakeholders at district and provincial levels and be capable of organizing and facilitating participatory validation workshops to gather feedback and ensure local relevance and accuracy of the findings.
