Idea Association

IT Consultant Opening for SPEAK Program

IDEA Association (Indonesia Idea and Analytics Association) is an organization engaged in research, advocacy, capacity building and citizen organization with a bias towards vulnerable groups whose access to basic rights services is hindered. The organization's vision is the realization of people's sovereignty in the public sphere which is marked by the fulfillment of civil and political rights, as well as the economic, social and cultural rights of the people. The organization also has a mission to encourage democratic political processes to fulfill the basic rights of citizens through policy changes, citizen empowerment and increasing public awareness.

IDEA, in collaboration with HIVOS and supported by the European Union, implemented Strengthening Public Services through the Empowerment of women-led Advocacy and social audit networks (SPEAK) program in Semarang City and Bojonegoro Regency for 20 months.

One of the efforts of the IDEA Association to improve public accountability of government services is by providing assistance to local governments. Bojonegoro Regency and Semarang City have currently used the LAPOR application as a platform for handling citizen complaints. In addition to using the LAPOR platform, the Bojonegoro Regency and Semarang City Governments are developing innovations in handling citizen complaints in the regions.

A study by the IDEA Association with consultants in March 2021 found that several technical agencies had complaint channels that were not yet connected to the LAPOR platform. This has the potential to cause obstacles in handling citizen complaints. The study above also recommends that there is a need for standardization of the description of complaint data and complaint handling in the two target areas of the program.

In order to follow up on recommendations for improving the information system in Bojonegoro Regency and Semarang City, the IDEA Association is opening recruitment for IT consultants. The duration of cooperation between the IDEA Association and consultants is approximately four months.
