VACANCY ANNOUNCEMENT

Driver (Code: Driver)
Terms of Reference
Title : Driver

Duration : 11 Months

A. General Project Information

The UNDP/ILO Project "Creating Jobs: Capacity Building for Local Resource-based Road Works in Selected Districts in NAD and Nias" has been implemented since March 2006. The Project's central aim is to support the Aceh Government in improving the livelihoods of the Acehnese
people by enhancing the capacity of local governments to generate maximum employment opportunities through investments in rural infrastructure, particularly the road sector. Five years of post-tsunami reconstruction in Aceh has achieved improvements in rural road networks.
But local governments are facing significant difficulties to put in place an effective maintenance system for these roads.

A comprehensive Exit Strategy for the Project has been prepared for the Aceh cluster of the Project (Pidie and Bireuen District) from 1 July 2011 until 31 August 2012 and the approval for the Project extension by MDFANs is expected by the end of August 2011. The proposal seeks to
ensure that the LRB approaches that have been successfully demonstrated by the Project over the last five years will be sustained and that the lessons learned will be mainstreamed. The proposal also aims at ensuring the sustainability of the investments made during phase I and II of the Project, in terms of their management and maintenance by the Government.
The main emphasis of the proposal is to build capacities for road asset management at district level – in particular in Pidie and Bireuen districts where the majority of the investments have been made – and on up-scaling and mainstreaming the successfully demonstrated employment-intensive approaches. Another main element of the extension is the rehabilitation of rural and district roads to improve accessibility and connectivity to support local economic development
initiatives of the local governments.
