Analytics & Database Engineer

Overview

The SKALA Program is an Australian investment designed to help Indonesia address regional disparities in development. SKALA strengthens decentralised government to deliver basic services, with a core focus on collaboration between Indonesian government stakeholders at national and subnational levels to realise synergies that improve service delivery. The program builds on Australia’s previous support to Indonesia’s decentralised government system and operates through three pillars and four general themes. Three pillars: 1) Stronger national level enabling environment for sub-national service delivery; 2) Better sub-national governance for service delivery; 3) Greater participation, representation and influence for women, people with disabilities and vulnerable groups. SKALA operates at the national level with an office in Jakarta and at subnational levels with offices in Aceh, Nusa Tenggara Barat, Nusa Tenggara Timur, Maluku, Gorontalo, Kalimantan Utara, Tanah Papua. Four general themes: Public Financial Management, Minimum Service Standards, Data and Analysis and GEDSI.
