A group of
four sector experts (Hongmin Chun, Deogho Lee, Ya Ya Kim, Dayoung Seo) from Korea
Institute for Development Strategy (KDS) led by the Project Manager, Hongmin
Chun, visited Jakarta, Indonesia with a main purpose of Performance management
workshop from July 10 to 15 and successfully completed the workshop with its
counterpart, UNDP Indonesia/Timor-Leste ACCESS team.
The ACCESS
(The Accelerating Clean
Energy Access to Reduce Inequality) project aims to
support the poor and most vulnerable communities to have equitable and
sustainable access to essential services for improving their livelihoods and
implemented in 2020-2023 in 23 villages in four provinces in Indonesia (East
Nusa Tenggara, West Sulawesi, South-East Sulawesi, and Central Kalimantan
provinces) and 25 villages in three municipalities of Timor-Leste (Municipality
of Dili (Atauro), Bobonaro and Manatuto). Particularly, the project is
very meaningful in the sense that it is the first ‘multiyear triangle cooperation
project’ among Korea, Indonesia and Timor-Leste funded by Korea International
Cooperation Agency (KOICA).
KDS is responsible for
performance management for the project since October 2021 and during the period
of visiting (1st dispatch) it implemented ▲Revision of performance indicators ▲Discussion
on the joint mid-term evaluation ▲Knowledge sharing session of solar station
▲Technical consultation on solar station/water pump etc. Furthermore, KDS had
the first face-to-face meeting with Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources
(MEMR) of Indonesia, KOICA and UDNP to discuss the project implementation plans
which provided a basis for further discussions through establishing cooperative
relationships between key stakeholders.
Starting
from the 1st dispatch, KDS will conduct on-site monitoring in Timor-Leste
this year, and keep supporting the project to achieve targets by the end of the
project by identifying more details through the joint mid-term evaluation at
the beginning of 2023.
