Vacancy: SME Tax Consultant - Investment Climate Program IFC The Worldbank Group

SME Tax Consultant - Investment Climate Program
International Finance Corporation (IFC)
Location: Jakarta, Indonesia
Last date: March 26, 2012

The Organization: The International Finance Corporation, a member of the World Bank Group, promotes sustainable private sector investment in developing countries as a way to reduce poverty and improve people's lives. In addition to its investment work, IFC executes a major program of private sector advisory services projects (AS). 

The Program: The objectives of the Investment Climate (IC) program are to promote direct investment in the private sector, build local businesses and financial intermediaries, and help improve the business enabling environment. Through a set of related projects, the IC Program in Indonesia supports IFC Indonesia's goals of reducing climate change impact, urban sustainability, rural inclusion and global competitiveness.

The Project: IFC is supporting the Government of Indonesia in the implementation of a tax simplification that aims at improving the tax regulatory environment for SMEs by reducing the time and financial cost of tax compliance faced by taxpayers, and reducing administration costs faced by tax authorities. 

Scope of the job: The SME Tax Consultant reports directly to the Project Leader of Indonesia Small Business Taxation Project and will work closely with the project team including IC operations officers, EAP Regional Tax Specialist, Global Tax Specialist and other IFC resources. The SME Tax Consultant shall provide insight into concrete small business taxation issues and challenges faced in the design and implementation of tax regulation. The primary focus of the work will be on close cooperation with government counterparts in order to initiate/implement regulatory changes.

This position reports directly to the Project Leader (PL) – Indonesia Small Business Taxation

The STC, in conjunction with IFC SME tax experts and related experts, will provide substantive and technical support to the PL and the project team on the following four areas: 
1. Advice in designing the overall small business tax regime to, among others, arrive at the appropriate form of tax, criteria for segmenting tax payers, MSME tax thresholds and aligning them with the VAT threshold, the rules to govern movement of taxpayers between the MSME regime and the full tax system, measures to safeguard against abuse of the system – for instance, by larger businesses breaking into smaller individual units to take advantage of the streamlined processes in the MSME tax regime; and so on.

2. Advice in designing administrative arrangements for the MSME tax regime to minimize the amount of time and administration required by taxpayers to comply with the new system and the costs to tax administrator in dealing with taxpayers. This includes, among others, (i) reforming the structure of tax authority offices to deal with the needs of small taxpayers, (ii) designing a risk-based audit system for MSME regime taxpayers, allowing tax administrator to target audits to those most at risk of non-compliance and (iii) designing a dispute resolution mechanism for disputes involving small amounts which can reduce the time required to resolve a case and relieve the backlog of small disputes coming before the tax courts.

3. Legislation: advice and expert peer review in the legal drafting process to ensure that best practices in the design and administrative arrangements above are incorporated and properly articulated in the ensuing MSME tax regulations.

4. Support in public communications and implementation. Successful implementation of the MSME tax regime requires extensive communications and outreach to taxpayers to assist them to understand the requirements of the new system. Training and development of tax authority staff will also be necessary to ensure that they are able to administer the system.

Duties and Responsibilities:
• Drawing on a knowledge of Indonesia's SME sector and its current taxation arrangements, assist the team to identify and understand the interaction of SMEs with the tax system in Indonesia and formulate proposals for SME tax policy / process reform in line with the client's needs;
• Develop and nurture effective working relationship with relevant government and private sector partners to ensure good communication and productive collaboration;
• Take an active role in discussions with private sector and government counterparts to explore and/or demonstrate the legal and practical feasibility of the proposed reforms/regulations and incorporate private sector feedback into development of and advocacy for new reforms;
• Assist in the preparation of all information documents, and particularly ensure their relevance to Indonesian taxation laws and regulations.
• Assist and advise in the design of outreach and capacity building programs and training materials required to implement regulatory reforms;

TERM OF REFERENCE
 
EVALUATION OF THE EFFECTIVENESS OF PERCIK YUNIOR MAGAZINE
IN INFLUENCING BEHAVIOR CHANGE AMONG CHILDREN
 
BAPPENAS/POKJA AMPL NASIONAL  - PLAN INDONESIA
YEAR OF 2012
 
 
 
A.         BACKGROUND
 
In Indonesia , more than 94 million people, or 43% of the population, do not have access to a toilet at home. The World Bank estimates the financial burden on poor basic sanitation in Indonesia is approximately US$6.3 billion, equal to 2.3% of GDP.[1] Besides, low access to clean drinking water and lack of understanding on the importance of hand-washing with soap and drinking water treatment  have their greatest impact on children, since more than 100,000 children die annually due to diarrhea. This is the main cause of infant mortality and the third cause of overall morbidity nationally.
 
It is understood that the core issue in water and sanitation problem is poor hygiene practices among the communities, both in rural and urban area. This is why most of water and sanitation improvement programs focus on the software development approach, which is to promote hygiene behavior to the communities living with low access to the water and sanitation facilities.
 
Several kinds of hygiene promotion strategies are implemented in the ground as the efforts to promote hygiene behavior / behavior change to the communities. Communication plays very important in this case. Communication through media promotes hygiene behavior messages with expected result to reach communal behavior change among the communities. Communication for behavior change could be in the form of direct campaign, media campaign, and peers-advocacy among the communities in rural and urban area. Especially for children, which are believed to act as agent of change, specific communication material needs to be developed and distributed to them.
 
One of the communication material that has been widely used to promote water and sanitation issue to the children grade 3rd-6thPreliminary Schools is Percik Yunior magazine, since 2005. The magazine has been distributed to all around Indonesia with the expectation that children will read it to understand the issue of water and sanitation that may surface in their surrounding environment. Many teachers in primary schools are also reported to use Percik Yunior as their teaching materials. By reading and understanding the content of Percik Yunior, it is expected that children will play their role as the agent of change to accelerate behavior change of entire communities, which eventually will improve communities’ access to water and sanitation facilities.
 
Despite the widely used of Percik Yunior, no formal evaluation has been conducted to formally measure the effectiveness of Percik Yunior in order to educate children regarding water and sanitation issues. Although some reported that Percik Yunior benefits children and community in general, the statement of children regarding their level on acceptance and understanding on the content of Percik Yunior remains undocumented and unrevealed. The distribution of Percik Yunior and which groups the most benefitted from the magazines are also yet to be exactly clear. Besides, whether the magazine has appropriately addressed the issues according to local context is also has not been studied.
 
Plan Indonesia, as the organization using Percik Yunior as its education media, sees that formal evaluation of Percik Yunior and the documentation of its acceptance among children are need to be taken. The impact given by the distribution of Percik Yunior in regard to behavior change among children is one of subjects for the evaluation. At the end, we also need to state how far the influences of Percik Yunior in enabling children as the agent of change within the water, sanitation, and hygiene development in Indonesia .
 
 
B.         STUDY TITLE
 
This study to evaluate the effectiveness of Percik Yunior will be titled: “Evaluation of the Effectiveness of Percik Yunior Magazine in Influencing Behavior Change Among Children”
 
 
C.         OBJECTIVE
 
Primary objective:
To measure the impact on children’s behavior change as the result of their exposure on Percik Yunior Magazine.
 
Key Questions are below, but not limited to:
1.       What kinds of behavior changes occur among children as their read and understand Percik Yunior?
2.       What are the key factors that influence behaviour change?
3.       What is the level of children acceptance and understanding on each section of Percik Yunior (graphics & message)?[2]
4.       What is the level of acceptance & understanding (like above) to adults, i.e. teachers, caregivers, government.?
5.     How was the effectiveness of Percik Yunior distribution in order to reach the targeted audience? The effectiveness must be counted based on: distribution, usage, budget vs benefit.
6.      What are the roles and contribution of children and other parties in shaping the effective use of Percik Yunior as communication media? (this include teacher through school-teaching, parents through home-teaching, government budgeting, etc)
 
Below is John Hopkins chart of ‘behavior changes’, Fitri Putjuk, 2012. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

D.         EXPECTED OUTPUTS
 
These are some expected outputs to be gained as the completion of the study:
1.       Identification and analysis of the Percik Yunior’s effectiveness in changing the behavior of children toward their understanding on its content and context.
2.       Identification of priority and supporting groups to influence behaviour change of children? (additional outputs)
3.       Identifications and analysis of all the factors involved in the success (or failure) of Percik Yunior to deliver its behavior change messages. This must ncludes enabling factors & disabling factors.
4.       An analytical notes on what makes Percik Yunior to be effective (or not effective) as intended to be.
5.       Recommendations based on study findings to further improve and developing Percik Yunior as the communication media targeted to the children.
 
E.          DELIVERABLES
 
From this study, the selected consultant needs to submit several reports to Plan Indonesia , as follow:
1.       Inception Report: detail of methodology, design, tools and planning of the study, including questionnaire and interview tools.
2.       Final Report: the summary of Inception Report, Field Work Report and with the addition of analysis of findings that answered all study’s key questions and fulfilled all the above expected outputs. This report must be submitted in English.
 
F.          METHODOLOGY
The data will be collected through various qualitative and quantitative methodologies, including a literature review (if applicable), focus group discussions, in-depth individual interviews, direct observation, and questionnaires. Quantitative data will be collected at all study sites. Data collected will include, among others, the number of children who have read and understand the Percik Yunior, as well as the number of children and other parties that have benefits from the Percik Yunior. Qualitative research methods will be employed at all study sites as well as at sub-district and district government levels.  Behavior Change Communication monitoring and evaluation methodology must be applied.[3]
 
The study will be conducted in at least three sampled locations that are to be decided later on. The most important criteria for selection is the location where Percik Yunior has been distributed and reported to be read by children. The presence of parents and teachers who used Percik Yunior as teaching materials at the study location will also determine the selection of study site.
The research will adopt a purposive sampling technique based on a set of criteria. Whereas, the selection of interview respondents will be based on criteria such as gender, age, socioeconomic status, etc. The final criteria will be finalized by the consultant in consultation with the Plan Indonesia.
As children will be important informants for the study, the consultant will need to design ethical safeguards and tools for working with children, which are broader than children informed consent. These will be applied during all research activities.
