WHO WE ARE Lingkar Temu Kabupaten Lestari (LTKL) is an association of district governments aiming to realize sustainable development. Formed by 8 district governments in July 2017, it now consists of 9 member districts in 6 Indonesian provinces. LTKL also acts as a caucus of the Association of Regency Governments throughout Indonesia (APKASI) and collaborates with 26 global, national, and regional multi‑stakeholder networks to advance the LTKL Declaration of Sustainable District Vision, formally announced in 2021. Since the 2017 General Assembly, the Secretariat has provided strategic support, expanded network exposure, and coordinated collaborative activities through various forums. PURPOSE OF THE ROLE

The Sustainable Investment Development Consultant plays a key role in unlocking accessible and appropriate financing for local private actors at the district level, including farmers, cooperatives, SMEs, and supply chain actors. The consultant translates complex financial instruments into practical solutions tailored to the local economic landscape, regulatory environment, and risk profile. This includes identifying capital needs—such as for production, processing, or aggregation—and aligning these needs with available funding sources from banks, non‑bank financial institutions, investors, and philanthropic organisations. The consultant also leads research and the design of innovative financing mechanisms that are attractive to capital providers while remaining fair and feasible for local actors. By analysing district‑level opportunities and constraints, the role helps develop implementable financing structures such as blended finance, revolving funds, or other instruments.
