The IKAT-U.S. Component 2 is a three and half year project under USAID’s IKAT-US. program with the aim of supporting the members of the IKAT-U.S. Component 1 partnerships, in order to enhance their capacity to implement regional programs.
For this program, the process of enabling the Indonesian, U.S. and Southeast Asian partners from all partnerships to link up with each other is important to advance democracy and human rights, and promote good governance. Hence, the IKAT-U.S. Component 2 as the partnership support has the following three functions:
• Function 1 – Documentation, distillation and dissemination of lessons learned from the IKAT-U.S. program. The objective of this function is to ensure the effectiveness and sustainability of the partnerships, particularly the capability of Indonesian CSOs in managing and implementing cross-border programs within multiple regional partners. To achieve this, the Component 2 would document and distill lessons learned from all partnerships in capacity building, establishing relationships with regional counterparts and conducting activities abroad. For disseminating lessons learned, information sharing and networking among partners, the Component 2 would use a website as a knowledge resource centre.
• Function 2 – Organizing and hosting regular meetings and conferences. The regular meeting and conferences will bring together the Indonesian, U.S. and Southeast Asian partner CSOs from all partnerships to share experiences, exchange best practices, build networks, coordinate their program activities and suggest future areas and countries of focus.
• Function 3 – Program evaluation of the IKAT-U.S. program. The Component 2 would provide policy recommendations to USAID regarding the viability of the IKAT-U.S. program regional partnership as a strategy for advancing democracy, promoting good governance and greater respect for human rights.
To deliver these functions, the IKAT-U.S. Component 2 requires the services of a qualified consultant for setting up a Monitoring and Evaluation System for the IKAT-U.S. program. The system is to provide a framework for effective monitoring, evaluation and learning of the IKAT-U.S. program.
