Job Description

Program Overview World Resources Institute (WRI) is an independent national research organization that turns big ideas into action at the nexus of environment, economic opportunity, and human well-being. WRI Indonesia is affiliated with World Resources Institute (WRI), a global environmental research organization that works with various stakeholders to support policies and practices that are sustainable and profitable. WRI works with leaders in more than 50 countries for more than 30 years, with offices in Brazil, China, Europe, Africa, India, Indonesia, Mexico, and the United States.
Launched in early 2014, WRI Indonesia builds on WRI’s 20-year history in the country and the official establishment of WRI Indonesia office has strengthened our impacts on the ground in recent years. Our current work primarily focuses on forest and land-use. Over time WRI Indonesia aims to expand its portfolio to include climate, energy, and city and transportation. Therefore, it is important for the organization to identify and put in place the research building blocks for achieving the vision of WRI Indonesia supporting science- and data-driven decision making at national and sub-national level.
Since last year, World Resources Institute (WRI) Indonesia has been supporting the Bali Transportation Agency (Dinas Perhubungan Bali) in transitioning towards e-mobility and renewable energy. WRI Indonesia has signed a 5-year memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Bali’s Provincial Government to assist and tackle challenges in Bali e-mobility development. We are supporting the Bali Government through assistances and scientific-based analyses that are aimed to develop the enabling conditions for EV ecosystem in Bali. Currently, WRI Indonesia is also supporting the Bali Government, on its electric vehicle plans. We hope that these assistances and analyses could contribute to the development of Bali’s EV Masterplan and able to scale-up the electric mobility uptake in Bali.
Moreover, Since last year, World Resources Institute (WRI) Indonesia has been supporting the DKI Jakarta Government to support the air quality improvement. WRI Indonesia has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with DKI Jakarta Provincial Government to assist and tackle challenges in air pollution. In 2019, the Governor of Jakarta decreed an Instruction Number 66/2019 regarding Air Quality Control. In the transportation sector, the decree aimed to lower the use of private vehicles. Therefore, the dramatic amount of Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emission can potentially be reduced. As one of the strategies to achieve that, Jakarta has initially adopted the Low Emission Zone (LEZ) in the Old Town (Kota Tua) in 2020. In addition to this, there is a strong commitment to expand the LEZ towards the center of Jakarta. The Old Town spans 1.3 square kilometers within North and West Jakarta. Accordingly, the implementation of pilot LEZ in the Old Town can reset the PM 2.5, which was reported as the highest in the province, into a non-harmful level.
The LEZ policy raised pragmatic concerns from the public at large, among business sectors and civil society. Given the challenges posed by such a situation, a dialogue must be fostered between all relevant actors from the private and public sectors as well as civil society, therefore baseline of acceptance and awareness from public (i.e., commuters and business sectors that affected) should be measured. For understanding the public acceptance and awareness, the questionnaire plan to be distributed to relevant individuals’ and business sectors that affect by the LEZ policy in Kota Tua. The survey will gather public acceptance and perception data about LEZ and consequently formulate communication strategies to increase the awareness, acceptance, and knowledge about the implementation of the project.
