Description

Reference No. : CFCV/2026/004 Position Title : Consultant (Capacity Assessment Development for KP2MI-BP2MI) Duty Station : Jakarta Organization Unit : Labour Mobility & Social Inclusion Classification : Consultancy Type of Appointment : Consultancy Report to : National Project Officer Estimated Start Date : As soon as possible Closing Date : 29 January 2026 Established in 1951, the International Organization for Migration (IOM), as the leading UN agency in the field of migration, works closely with governmental, intergovernmental, and non-governmental partners. Having operated in Indonesia for over four decades, IOM Indonesia is one of the largest IOM country missions globally, implementing a broad portfolio of programmes in collaboration with the Government of Indonesia, civil society organizations, private sector stakeholders, migrants, and local communities. Its thematic focus includes Counter-Trafficking (CT), Labour Mobility and Social Inclusion (LMSI), Immigration and Border Governance (IBG), Migration Health, Refugee Care, Resettlement and Returns, Climate and Resilience, as well as Migration Policy and Data. The Government of Indonesia has demonstrated its strong commitment to safe, orderly, and fair labour migration through the enactment of Law No. 18 of 2017 on the Protection of Indonesian Migrant Workers and its derivative regulation, Government Regulation No. 59 of 2021. A pivotal recent development is the establishment of the Ministry for the Protection of Indonesian Migrant Workers (KP2MI) through Presidential Regulation No. 165 of 2024, which also includes the formation of local offices (BP3MI). This move aims to centralize and enhance governance, coordination, and service delivery for Indonesian migrant workers. Complementing this, Presidential Regulation No. 166 of 2024 concerning the Agency for the Protection of Indonesian Migrant Workers (BP2MI) introduces a fundamental restructuring of the institutional framework. This new architecture designates KP2MI as the policy-maker, regulator, and coordinator, responsible for establishing Norms, Standards, Procedures, and Criteria (NSPK). Concurrently, BP2MI is positioned as the operational implementing body, tasked with executing placement, issuing recruitment permits (SIP), and providing direct services and protection. A critical feature of this integration is that BP2MI no longer maintains a separate organic structure but instead utilizes the resources and organizational units of KP2MI, with the Minister of KP2MI concurrently serving as the Head of BP2MI. This unified command structure is intended to create a clear division of labour between macro-strategic planning and micro-operational execution, thereby fostering a more efficient, integrated, and accountable governance system. As a champion country of the Global Compact for Safe, Orderly, and Regular Migration (GCM), Indonesia is committed to aligning its national policies with international standards. This consultancy directly supports KP2MI's request for technical assistance to solidify this new institutional arrangement and fulfil its enhanced mandate. Presidential Regulation Number 12 of 2025 concerning the National Medium-Term Development Plan (RPJMN) 2025–2029 also outlines Indonesia’s commitment to strengthening international cooperation on labor and skilled worker mobility, which includes the protection and placement of Indonesian migrant workers. While not detailed in specific articles, this issue is embedded within broader strategies for social transformation, labor diplomacy, and international development cooperation.
