II. BACKGROUND INFORMATION OF THE PROJECT

Indonesia continues to strengthen a comprehensive approach to preventing and countering violent extremism conducive to terrorism. Beyond security measures and law enforcement, these efforts require sustainable rehabilitation and social reintegration for individuals who have previously been exposed to violent extremist ideologies.

In practice, however, the reintegration process continues to face several challenges, including limited inter-agency coordination, the absence of well established community based support mechanisms, and the need to strengthen the capacity of local actors involved in facilitating successful reintegration. These challenges require coordinated and context-sensitive approaches that involve government institutions, community actors, religious leaders, and other relevant stakeholders.

The Government of Indonesia reaffirmed its commitment through Presidential Regulation No. 8 of 2026 on the National Action Plan for Preventing and Countering Violent Extremism Conducive to Terrorism (RAN PE) 2026–2029, which emphasizes a whole of government and multi stakeholder approach to prevention efforts. Within this framework, the Ministry of Religious Affairs plays a strategic role through the promotion of religious moderation, religious counselling services, and strengthened social cohesion, in line with Presidential Regulation No. 58 of 2023 on Strengthening Religious Moderation.

Through the RECONNECT ( Religious Counselors Prison Rehabilitation and Community Reintegration ) Programme, Nurani Perdamaian Indonesia (NPID), in collaboration with the Ministry of Religious Affairs and cross-sector strategic partners, seeks to strengthen the role of Religious Counsellors and community actors in supporting safe, inclusive, and sustainable rehabilitation and social reintegration.

The RECONNECT Programme includes capacity building for Religious Counsellors, the development of practical guidance for community-based assistance, the strengthening of community reintegration mechanisms, and the monitoring of reintegration related risks and signals through relevant systems within the Ministry of Religious Affairs. Through these interventions, the program seeks to contribute to stronger institutional capacity, improved coordination, and more sustainable community-based approaches to rehabilitation and reintegration.

III. OBJECTIVE

To provide analytical, monitoring, and quality assurance support to the RECONNECT Programme by assisting the Programme Officer in reviewing program activities, outputs, and reports, monitoring progress against agreed objectives and indicators, identifying implementation gaps and areas for improvement, and documenting key findings, lessons learned, and recommendations to strengthen the quality and effectiveness of program implementation.

IV. CONSULTANCY FRAMEWORK

The consultancy will focus on five interconnected components: MEL System and Tools, Programme Data Analysis and Projection, Activity Monitoring and Documentation, Programme Reporting and Knowledge Management, and Learning and Adaptive Programming. These components are designed to provide technical and analytical support to the Programme Officer throughout the implementation of the RECONNECT Programme.

The MEL system and tools provide the foundation for systematically tracking program implementation and results. Programme data analysis and projection build on this foundation by generating evidence and insights on program progress, emerging trends, gaps, and potential areas requiring attention. Activity monitoring and documentation ensure that program implementation and results are systematically captured, while reporting and knowledge management consolidate these findings into clear and useful program documentation. Finally, learning and adaptive programming use the evidence generated through these processes to identify lessons learned, inform program adjustments, and strengthen future implementation.

The framework below outlines the key program needs, the analytical and technical support to be provided by the Consultant Analyst, the expected outputs, and the key users and stakeholders involved.
