The opportunity

Subject to a positive stop/go decision in September 2026, the Consultant will develop a full proposal from October to November 2026.

The primary users of the feasibility study will be RT4D/TGEI, DFAT and relevant ASEC stakeholders. The findings may also be relevant to ASEAN Member States, development partners and organisations working on gender equality, inclusive trade, MSME development, digital trade, trade facilitation, disability inclusion and data systems.

During the feasibility study, the Consultant is expected to engage with relevant ASEC divisions and selected stakeholders in Thailand and the Philippines, subject to confirmation by RT4D/TGEI, DFAT and relevant ASEC divisions. This engagement would assess whether these countries could provide suitable national-level entry points for future piloting, including in relation to national priorities, data availability, stakeholder interest and existing policy or monitoring processes.

Background:
Indonesia’s Vision 2045 sets the goal for Indonesia to transition from a resource-based economy towards an advanced service, technology, and knowledge-based economy by the centenary of its independence (2045). The 2025-2045 National Long Term Development Plan emphasises the urgency of Indonesia’s human resource development to fully realise 2045 goals.

Faced however with persistent low student performance that is emblematic of a learning crisis, significant improvement in student learning will be required to reach Indonesia’s 2045 goals. Government of Indonesia (GoI) has started an ambitious program of education reforms. Successive education ministers have set out to modernise the education system through reforming the national curriculum and teaching and assessment approaches, to produce citizens with strong foundational skills, open minds, and inclusive values. 

Australia is a long-term supporter of the Indonesian basic education sector, with continuous investments supporting education quality improvements for the past two decades, including through the INOVASI program (Phase 1 2016-2020; Phase 2 2020-2023) that focused on supporting acquisition of literacy and numeracy foundational skills in early grades classrooms; exploring local problems and solutions; and generating evidence to inform government policy development and practices.

This third phase of INOVASI (2024-2027) builds upon the existing program’s approach and lessons learned and takes the focus on the development of foundational skills through to the end of the primary grades. Phase 3 will engage with priority issues of Australia’s development policy: gender equality, effective inclusion of children with a disability, responses to the climate change challenge in education. It will focus on the challenge of policy implementation and the gaps that exist between national policies and practices at district and school levels, and use the well attested-success of INOVASI’s local problem-based approach to continuously support policy development for effective fit between policy and implementation context.

INOVASI Phase 3 is implemented in 25 districts and cities across Indonesia, in the provinces of West Nusa Tenggara, East Nusa Tenggara, North Kalimantan, East Java, West Java, and Maluku. The program also works in Ibu Kota Nusantara (IKN).
The Program is managed by Palladium on behalf of the Government of Australia through the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT).

Purpose of the Position
The Gender and Child Protection Specialist will work with the Gender and Child Protection Lead, Gender Advisor, and INOVASI teams along with its counterparts to provide support in mainstreaming the gender and child protection principles, and to contribute to the design and implementation of gender and child protection workplans. The role is a cross-cutting role that requires a flexible and integrated approach across INOVASI teams to ensure that activities are well implemented, accountable and synergistic to achieve the goals of the program. The Gender and Child Protection Specialist will help identify gaps, challenges and opportunities across the program and provinces, along with strengthening internal organizational culture.
