With a substantial investment from the MCC and contribution from the Indonesian government, the new Compact seeks to revitalize financial intermediation and infrastructure in Indonesia. This effort endeavors to address critical obstacles hindering economic progress by enhancing infrastructure financing, particularly in the realms of transportation and logistics, while also fostering greater accessibility to financial resources for micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises. To achieve these ambitious objectives, the compact comprises three projects: the Advancing Transport and Logistics Accessibility Services (ATLAS) Project, the Financial Markets Development Project (FMDP), and the Access to Finance for Women-owned/Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises Project (MSME Finance Project).

CDM Smith will serve in a vital support function to the MCA, ensuring the execution of the compact program by facilitating coordination, cost-effectiveness, and adherence to strategic goals and outcomes. Moreover, the CDM Smith will play a pivotal role in overseeing compliance with environmental, gender, social safeguard, and Women's Economic Empowerment (WEE) requirements, thereby enhancing accountability and ensuring the successful realization of Indonesia's development objectives. Through the provision of specialized tools, services, and expertise, CDM Smith will partner with the MCA to elevate oversight and coordination and to provide adaptability and resource responsiveness to help implement the new Compact.

Reporting to the Program Performance and Controls Specialist, the Quality Control & Assurance Specialist will provide support for developing program controls and performance procedures in the Program Management Plan (PMP) and the Program Management Platform (Platform); for controlling program performance in accordance with the PMP and the Platform; and for standard program status reporting / dashboarding.

• Support for PMP and Platform development, including development of protocols for program-level schedule management and for project-related quality control and quality assurance (QAQC).

• Development and management of program schedule, including critical path issues and slippage, as well as programmatic cost-loading and PMC resource loading.

• Conduct routine assessment of adherence to defined QAQC processes, and provide liaison support for internal corporate contract audits and external program audits.

• Support monthly program status reporting/dashboarding and quarterly support to MCA for Quarterly Disbursement Request planning.
