Executive Summary

From July 1, 2017 through September 30, 2017, the Institute of International Education (IIE) completed a number of activities and milestones necessary to implement the Sustainable Higher Education Research Alliances (SHERA) program (Cooperative Agreement AID-497-A-16-00004). Of note, IIE entered into three additional subrecipient agreements with identified Indonesian higher education institutions (HEI) to establish and host Centers for Collaborative Research (CCR) within priority research focus areas. A brief overview of the three includes the following:

1. On August 2, IIE executed a subagreement with Universitas Indonesia (UI) within the priority focus area of Urban Planning and Development to establish a CCR on Scientific Modeling, Application, Research, and Training for City-centered Innovation and Technology (SMART CITY) to address the challenges facing Indonesia’s urban centers, including the slow adoption of green technology; lacking and unreliable urban infrastructure; slow adoption of IT in civil services, administration and governance; and a rapidly declining quality-of-life. 2. On August 8, IIE executed a subagreement with Universitas Gadjah Mada (UGM) within the priority focus area of the Environment, Energy and Maritime Sciences to establish a multidisciplinary partnership called the Center for the Development of a Sustainable Region (CDSR) with the goal of ensuring energy efficiency and independence within Indonesia. UGM will support activities that enable Indonesia to increase and maximize its sources of renewable energy by developing a hybrid energy system and prototypes to support near zero- energy buildings for tropical urban areas, building the capacity of local industry, and creating a network of renewable energy stakeholders in Indonesia. 3. On September 26, IIE executed a subagreement with Institut Teknologi Bandung (ITB) within the focus area of Innovative Technologies to establish the National Center for Sustainable Transportation Technology, a CCR focused on developing advanced technologies for the next generation of electrical vehicles in Indonesia through integrated transportation solutions that address technology, policy, infrastructure, and planning development.

Programmatic highlights also include completing initial Kick-off Workshops with each CCR lead institution. Continuing the work SHERA started during the CCR Workshop in March 2017, and similar to the workshop held with CDSR-UGM in the previous quarter, the workshops conducted this quarter focused on continued capacity building for CCR leads related to U.S. government (USG) compliance; financial and grants management; monitoring, evaluation and learning (MEL); Year 1 work planning; and communications and outreach.

Lastly, SHERA participated as the sole international non-governmental organization (NGO) at the Indonesian Ministry of Research, Technology, and Higher Education’s (Kemristekdikti) National Technology Day (Hari Kebangkitan Teknologi Nasional, HAKTEKNAS) celebration in Makassar.

IIE is close to signing its final university partnership subrecipient agreement with Institut Pertanian Bogor (IPB) and plans to do so early in the upcoming quarter. Additionally, IIE looks forward to the newest subawardees beginning their CCR activities and all institutional subawardees starting to negotiate terms of their own subawards with affiliate institutional partners (SHERA’s second-tier recipients). SHERA will also remain focused on delivering needed technical assistance and refreshment training sessions to lead CCRs.

I. SHERA University Partnerships/Centers for Collaborative Research

1.1 Subaward Negotiation and Signing During this quarter, IIE executed three additional subagreements with identified Indonesian higher education institutions (HEI) to establish and host Centers for Collaborative Research (CCR). As noted in past performance reports and highlighted in IIE’s White Paper, Assessment of the Landscape for Establishing Centers for Collaborative Research That Advance Science, Technology, and Innovation in Indonesia, SHERA is unique within the context of international partnership funding in Indonesia, as the U.S. partner has always led in past institutional partnership programs between the U.S. and Indonesia. Through its Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO), SHERA identified top-tier Indonesian institutions well positioned to lead a consortium of institutions. With that in mind, IIE must maintain an awareness of the risks involved with these HEIs assuming this new role. For this reason, IIE spent time this quarter negotiating with the remaining four candidates on their Program Descriptions and budgets, and the

3

identified institutions themselves spent time internally reviewing and discussing the subaward terms and conditions.

As mentioned in the last quarterly report, IIE received its first consent to subaward from USAID on May 15 for the proposal from Universitas Gadjah Mada (UGM) to create and establish the Center for the Development of a Sustainable Region (CDSR) within the priority focus area of the Environment, Energy and Maritime Sciences. However, there was a delay in executing this subagreement due to a difference in understanding of the intellectual property (IP) rights Figure 1 CDSR’s lead, represented by of UGM Prof. Ir. Panut assumed under this award. UGM Mulyono, M.Eng., D.Eng.signed the MoU with affiliate representatives. was concerned that by granting a fully paid, royalty-free, non-exclusive license to the U.S. government (USG), as listed in IIE’s subaward, they would not be eligible for any income generated by patents, research, or products developed under SHERA.

IIE resolved this issue during this quarter, by educating UGM leadership on USAID’s Mandatory Standard Provisions for Non-U.S. Organizations, Required as Applicable (RAA). 15 Program Income provision, which states that any income generated from IP vests with the recipient, UGM. For the duration of the agreement, UGM should return any income generated under this award, and use it for activities related to the agreement. Once the agreement comes to an end, UGM can use any income generated for other purposes, according to their needs. Additionally, to address UGM’s concern, IIE added a special award condition to their subagreement which states that IIE and UGM may enter into a separate agreement or modify the current one for any Intangible Property issues. See the list of the CCR’s partnership members in Table II and an overview of their start-up activities in Section 1.6: CCR Activities – Key Highlights during the Reporting Period.

IIE utilized the knowledge gained from negotiations with UGM and IIE’s first executed subagreement under SHERA, with Universitas Padjadjaran (UNPAD), and moved quickly to sign an award with Universitas Indonesia (UI), to develop a CCR in the priority focus area of Urban Development and Planning, titled Scientific Modeling, Application, Research, and Training for City-centered Innovation and Technology (SMART CITY). Through the institutional consortium and its other partnership members, SMART CITY will encourage research groups, technical laboratories and individual researchers to use interdisciplinary approaches in their work, collaborate on a global scale, and create scientific and technological innovations to respond to contemporary urban challenges. See the list of the CCR’s partnership members in Table II and an overview of their start-up activities in Section 1.6: CCR Activities – Key Highlights during the Reporting Period.

Lastly, IIE signed a subagreement with Institute Teknologi Bandung (ITB) to create and establish a CCR in the priority focus area of Innovative Technologies, titled National Center for Sustainable Transportation Technology (NCSTT). NCSTT will work with it’s institutional, private sector and local government partners to provide an integrated transportation solution within the multidisciplinary fields of technology, policy, infrastructure, and planning. See the list of the CCR’s partnership members in Table II. As they signed their subagreement several days before the end of the quarter, SHERA will report on NCSTT-ITB Figure 2 SHERA & CCR NCSTT team welcomed by activities beginning the next reporting period.

1.2 Kick-off Workshops SHERA facilitated Kick-off Workshops at each CCR lead institution to train their staff members on implementation topics including CCR administration, operations, communications, and monitoring, evaluation and learning (MEL). SHERA held its first workshop last quarter at CDSR-UGM in . SHERA held workshops for the remaining four CCR leads this quarter, including the CCR for Acute Respiratory Infections (CCR ARI)-UNPAD in Bandung from July 4-8; SMART CITY-UI in

6

Depok from August 21-24; NCSTT-ITB in Bandung from September 14-16; and the CCR on CCR on Animal Biotechnology and Coral Reef Fisheries (ANBIOCORE)-IPB in Bogor from September 18-20.

SHERA created a grants and financial management approach which uses QuickBooks accounting software to support CCR operations, and monitor and track program funds. At each workshop, SHERA focused heavily on training the CCRs on QuickBooks development and implementation. SHERA received positive feedback from all CCR leads and believes QuickBooks is well suited to meet their needs and support their administrative capacity building. However, since CCR leads are Figure 3 Mr. Jalu Cahyanto, USAID Indonesia AOR shared his novices in using this system, they will all expectation about CCR NCSTT require supplemental in-person mentoring, which SHERA expects to complete by the end of the calendar year. Based on feedback from the CCR leads, they all benefited greatly from SHERA’s approach, which customized and contextualized the training curriculum by using CCR leads’ respective Year 1 Implementation Plans as examples throughout the training.

Through these workshops, SHERA found that a significant gap exists in management practices between the CCR lead and Indonesian second-tier affiliate institutions. The CCR leads are autonomous universities (Perguruan Tinggi Negeri – Badan Hukum, PTNBH), which have their own financial management systems. Conversely, the majority of CCR affiliate institutions are semi-autonomous (Badan Layanan Umum, BLU) and working unit institutions (satker), which structurally reside within and are fully managed by Kemristekdikti. Unlike the autonomous institutions, the majority of the affiliate institutions cannot utilize an alternate financial management system or adjust their institutional budget to account for SHERA funds midway through the fiscal year. This means that some of the policies and procedures that SHERA has applied to the CCR leads, the CCR leads cannot apply to the Figure 4 CCR SMART CITY, SHERA Team, and USAID Indonesia were CCR affiliates. While SHERA having an implementation plan discussion during SMART CITY kick off considers this a lesson learned, it meeting. does not anticipate any significant impact on the CCR lead or Indonesian affiliate members’ ability to successfully implement their proposed activities or support SHERA in achieving its program objectives.

Along with financial and grants management topics, the SHERA team worked with each CCR on their internal data collection and reporting system. As reported previously, SHERA conducted a baseline survey of CCR preparedness to host a science, technology, and innovation (STI)-focused research

7

consortium. During these workshops, SHERA’s MEL Specialist reviewed SHERA’s results framework indicators and the findings from the CCR baseline study. One key finding from the study is that all CCR leads will have difficulty achieving SHERA’s second intermediate results indicator - ratio of citations to publications produced by Indonesian researchers – because, as it is currently listed in the program’s Performance Indicator Reference Sheet (PIRS), the indicator only counts journal citations in Scopus. Through data analysis and discussions during the workshops with the CCR leads, SHERA now knows that CCR institutions prefer alternate, user-friendly platforms, such as Research Gate and Google Scholar. See more details related to this challenge in Section 5:1 Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning. SHERA plans to raise this issue during its Data Quality Assessment (DQA) meeting with USAID in the upcoming quarter (see Section 6.2 for more details).

During the workshops, SHERA also found that the diversity of research designs among the CCRs has led to increased complexity within SHERA’s MEL system and its quality benchmarking process. This is heightened by the fact that most CCR’s MEL team members are academics and researchers with minimal experience in monitoring and evaluation. Thus, SHERA’s online MEL system is critical to ensure accuracy in data collection, recording and reporting as it has safeguards to minimize the risk of transcription errors or data manipulation. However, SHERA found one exception in NCSTT-ITB, which has a dedicated management information systems (MIS) staff member, whose role will focus on integrating their MEL system between program, finance, and grants data information. With this, NCSTT-ITB clearly illustrates its understanding of MEL and commitment to data integrity. Once instituted and tested, SHERA will disseminate information on their system to all CCRs for potential implementation, as applicable.

Additionally, during the workshops SHERA reviewed the CCR leads’ Year 1 Implementation Plans and MEL Plans. Overall, SHERA found a lack in alignment between CCRs’ narrative work plans and their MEL Plans, which is likely due to the CCR leads’ confusion in the relationship between activity results and the multi-level program indicators. See Section 1.5: CCR’s Year 1 Implementation Plans and MEL Plans for more details.

During the workshop with ANBIOCORE-IPB, SHERA discovered the unique challenge to their MEL and work plans, which is due to the fact that their research has two unique focus areas – animal biotechnology and coral reef fisheries management. SHERA focused on providing support in merging these two topics under one integrated management structure. The CCR team and SHERA experienced a breakthrough when they agreed to name the PIC with expertise in animal biotechnology as the CCR Director and the PIC with expertise in coral reef fisheries management as the CCR Partnership Manager. This structure will ensure that the CCR leadership represents both research areas and, in turn, supports the implementation of activities to achieve an integrated MEL Plan.

See the communications-specific topics covered during the workshops in SHERA’s Q4 2017 Communications Report.

1.3 Direct Mentoring SHERA conducted a mentoring session with CCR ARI-UNPAD on August 15-16 in Bandung, which focused on administration and financial management, and MEL systems development. Due to a lack of experience from the CCR’s Finance Manager and administration team, and minimal support from the CCR leadership, CCR ARI-UNPAD struggled to meet the program’s monthly financial reporting deliverable. Figure 5 Vice Dean of UNPAD's medical department, Prof.Dr.Dany Hilmanto,dr.,Sp.A(K) explained financial regulation and management in UNPAD.

For this reason, during the session, SHERA’s Finance and Grants team focused on providing technical assistance on QuickBooks, and supplemental training on how to maintain an organized filing system for documentation of monthly expenses and best practices for internal review and approval systems. SHERA believes that holding this and future mentoring sessions that focus on individual CCR’s needs, will support the Finance Manager in getting up-to-speed. Additionally, SHERA required that CCR leadership attend the session, which will ensure they have the same understanding of the process and can better support their staff in the future. See Section 5.2: CCR’s Operational and Program Capacity for additional details on CCR ARI-UNPAD’s operational challenges during the quarter.

In parallel, SHERA’s MEL team reviewed and evaluated the CCR’s existing data recording and reporting system, and supported the CCR in understanding the relationship between their work plan and performance targets. This included reviewing SHERA’s reporting templates that the CCR will use as a basis for developing an appropriate MEL management system. Using feedback from the Kick-off Workshop, SHERA’s MEL team used the CCR’s Year I Implementation Plan to review the templates and receive mentoring related to their data management system. The CCR responded well to the hands-on learning opportunity and SHERA believes that this will support them in successfully using the tools in the future.

1.4 PRESTASI Trainings The USAID-funded Program to Extend Scholarship and Training to Achieve Sustainable Impact (PRESTASI) provided a Leadership, Monitoring and Evaluation, and Advocacy training to ANBIOCORE–IPB from September 25-29 in . Both the CCR lead and Indonesian affiliate partners attended, and SHERA encouraged them to utilize this opportunity to finalize their Year 1 work plan, MEL Plan, second-tier funding mechanism, and negotiate their second-tier subawards. SHERA’s Program Director, Figure 6 ANBIOCORE's affiliate member from Communications and Outreach Specialist, UNIBRAW responded to the proposed implementation and MEL Specialist visited the training and plan in front of all ANBICORE's members. provided support during these internal sessions.

1.5 CCRs' Year 1 Implementation Plans and MEL Plans As a part of their subaward, each CCR lead must develop an annual implementation plan, which includes their proposed activities for the year, time frame for implementation of activities, a detailed budget, and proposed annual accomplishments. In addition, each CCR lead must submit a MEL Plan, derived from the activities outlined in the Program Description, that outlines key program activities, indicators of achievement, and associated annual and life-of-project targets.

CCR ARI-UNPAD, SMART CITY-UI and CDSR-UGM submitted their Year 1 Implementation Plans to SHERA in August. SHERA’s Program Director responded with feedback and comments to CCR ARI-UNPAD and CDSR-UGM. The CCR Partnership Managers and MEL Specialists are actively consulting with SHERA and working towards addressing all comments. As mentioned above, CCR ARI-UNPAD received individualized attention and support during the direct mentoring session in August. SHERA’s Program Director has reviewed SMARY CITY-UI’s Year 1 Implementation Plan, however did not accept it due to its lack of alignment with its MEL Plan. SHERA’s Program Director and MEL Specialist are in close consultation with the CCR to provide the necessary support.

1.6 CCR Activities – Key Highlights during the Reporting Period During this period, CCR ARI-UNPAD, SMART CITY-UI and CDSR-UGM completed important operational milestones, including hiring core management teams to support the successful implementation of CCR activities, namely a Program Director; Partnership Manager; Finance and Grants Manager; and Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning Specialist. They also established operations and management systems, drafted subagreements to their U.S. and Indonesian affiliate members, and began set-up of their research sites and laboratories. As explained above, SHERA is the first USG- funded university partnership program managed by Indonesian HEIs, and the CCR leads are unfamiliar with the program’s administrative and operational requirements. As the CCR leads began start-up activities, all three soon found the need for and hired additional administrative support staff to successfully meet these requirements.

All three CCRs conducted coordinating meetings with their U.S. and Indonesian affiliates to further negotiate their roles and the terms of their subawards, as well as led trainings, workshops or conferences for the participating CCR scholars to prepare for implementation of their research activities.

The below section includes highlights from each CCR. For more detailed information regarding each CCR’s implementation for the quarter, please Annex II.

a. CCR ARI - UNPAD Operationally, CCR ARI-UNPAD’s organization structure further expanded to meet its administrative needs and now includes a Secretariat Coordinator, Partnership Manager Assistant, Finance and Grants Assistant, Faculty Administrator and Clerk.

Programmatically, CCR ARI-UNPAD worked with its U.S. affiliate member, University of Colorado at Denver, to finalize the list of CCR scholars from the lead and affiliate institutions, establish its mentorship program, and begin coordination with the primary and network hospitals that will participate in the CCR’s disease burden study. CCR ARI-UNPAD conducted site visits to each Indonesian affiliate member as well as each hospital in the network to review Figure 7 UNSYIAH Medical Department, affiliate of CCR the sites’ condition and each entities ARI, conducted information session on SHERA program to level of preparedness to commence UNSYIAH scholars. research. Specifically, the CCR’s Partnership Manager visited Universitas Syiah Kuala in Banda Aceh; while the Director visited Universitas Mataram in West Nusa Tenggara, Universitas Pattimura in and Universitas Lambung Mangkurat in South Kalimantan.

Moreover, the CCR conducted its first research and capacity building activities, including a Short Course on Research Methods, Short Course on Epidemiologic Methods, Good Clinical Practice Training, and components of the Applied Clinical Research Training (Protocol Development and Instrument Development). Meanwhile, the CCR decided to postpone a Grants and Finance Workshop and several other planned activities due a lack of access to SHERA funds. See a detailed explanation of this challenge and how it will be addressed in Section 5.2: CCR’s Operational and Program Capacity.

10

b. SMART CITY - UI The majority of SMART CITY-UI’s activities this quarter were operations-related due to their need to focus on institutional systems and process-related challenges. Specifically, the SMART CITY staff held multiple meetings with UI’s Directorate of Finance to discuss the CCR’s management of SHERA funds and the process for granting funds to the U.S. affiliate universities. See a detailed explanation of this challenge and how it will be addressed in Section 5.2: CCR’s Operational and Program Capacity.

SMART CITY-UI also began preparing curriculum for an upcoming workshop, Academic Writing Short Course for Junior Faculty Members & Graduate Students.

c. CDSR-UGM CDSR-UGM made significant progress in their start-up activities this quarter, both operationally and programmatically. The CCR and UGM Directorate of Finance resolved several potential administrative challenges by designing and implementing an efficient flow for funds from the rectorate-level bank account to the CCR-level bank account.

The CCR held a launch event in Yogyakarta on September 13, which all Indonesian affiliates and USAID/Indonesia attended. CDSR-UGM visited their Indonesian affiliate members to prepare for executing subagreements and work with individual affiliates on their unique role and responsibilities within the implementation of activities. During the CCR’s visit to affiliate member Universitas Negeri Gorontalo (UNG), it learned that the institution had established the Energy and Natural Resource Study Center to support the implementation of CCR activities. This activity enabled the CCR to move towards achieving success in output indicator 3.1, institutional relationship established and strengthened related to collaborative research capacity of Indonesian universities.

Another success for CDSR-UGM is its achievement of the highest participation of women in CCR coordination meetings and workshops among all CCRs for the quarter, at 56.6%.

II. Monitoring Evaluation and Learning (MEL) Along with the CCR Kick-off Meetings and direct mentoring session with CCR ARI-UNPAD (both detailed in Section 1 above), SHERA’s MEL team focused on finalizing the CCR baseline study analysis. These activities are the main basis for SHERA’s review and suggested edits to the program’s PIRS, as well as the development of an appropriate and relevant MEL online system.

2.1 CCR Baseline Study As mentioned above, SHERA shared the initial findings with each CCR during their respective Kick- off Workshops. SHERA spent time during the workshops clarifying definitions and survey questions and, with this additional understanding, CCRs submitted updated responses. With this, SHERA spent time re-coding and re-analyzing the updated responses over the course of the quarter.

The initial findings of the baseline study expose the strengths and weaknesses of each CCR member, and illustrate the capacity gap between and among the lead and affiliate institutions. SHERA presented the first draft of the baseline findings to SHERA’s Agreement Officer Representative (AOR) at USAID/Indonesia. In the upcoming quarter, SHERA will finalize the findings and present it to a larger audience within USAID and Figure 8 Draft of SHERA's baseline result to identify lead CCR's result framework

Kemristekditi for further input and recommendations of how best to use this information to support the CCRs’ capacity.

III. Activities Outside of Workplan that Contributed to SHERA’s Achievements SHERA conducted a series of activities this quarter based on its approved Year 1 Implementation Plan. Additionally, a series of unplanned activities took place that also contributed to SHERA’s overall achievement.

3.1 RiTech Expo – National Technology Day Kemristekdikti invited SHERA to participate in RiTech Expo 2017 in Makassar from August 10 -14, as the primary component of its annual celebration of Hari Kebangkitan Teknologi Nasional (HAKTEKNAS)/National Technology Day. Vice President of the Republic of Indonesia, Jusuf Kalla; former President of the Republic Indonesia, B.J. Habibie; Minister of Research, Technology and Higher Education, Mohammad Nasir; Minister of Human Development and Cultural Affairs, Puan Maharani; and all Kemristekdikti officials attended to show support for this important event. Of the 181 exhibitors, which ranged from HEIs to research institutes to representatives from technology communities, SHERA was the only international NGO invited to exhibit. SHERA’s booth displayed information about the program and CCRs, research product prototypes, and videos; and welcomed 320 visitors, including local and national government officials; university staff, researchers, scholars, and students; Figure 9 Prima Setiawan Program Director private sector representatives; and teachers. Detailed SHERA & Jalu Cahyanto AOR USAID information on the event is included in SHERA’s Q4 2017 Indonesia explained SHERA to young scholars. Communications Report.

3.2 Public-Private Partnership Meeting To foster sustainability, SHERA strongly encourages CCRs to create research collaborations not only with other universities, but also with the private sector, NGOs, development partners and local government. Additionally, SHERA actively seeks out potential partners and facilitates introductions to CCRs, based on needs and research focus. To support this initiative, USAID’s Global Development Alliance (GDA) introduced SHERA to ThermoFisher Scientific, a U.S. multi-national corporation with a primary business focus in science and a mission to enable customers to make the world healthier, cleaner and safer. Their portfolio includes a wide range of products and solutions for science research and implementations. In , ThermoFisher has headquarters in Singapore, with departments including research and development (R&D,) manufacturing, sales, and services.

SHERA’s Program Director facilitated an in-person meeting on September 12 between Viva Chan, Director of Strategic Marketing and Business Development, Southeast Asia, Thermofisher; Dr. Sigit Santosa, Director of NCSTT–ITB; Dr. Bambang Purwantara, Director of ANBIOCORE-IPB; and Thomas Cody and Ignatius Indartoto, USAID/Indonesia. By the end of the meeting, ThermoFisher and both CCRs Directors agreed that potential areas for collaboration exist. Moving forward, Thermofisher will visit each CCR for a more detailed understanding of their research and needs. SHERA believes that Thermofisher could also support CCR ARI-UNPAD’s respiratory-related research and proposed a meeting between the two parties for next quarter.

12

In addition, SHERA participated in a private sector engagement opportunity at the Schlumberger Foundation’s 16th annual Faculty for the Future forum at ITB in Bandung, August 28-29. The Faculty for the Future program contributes to reducing the gender gap in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) activities by lowering barriers women face in education. The goal is to create a community of women leaders in STEM who will support the socio-economic development of their native regions by teaching, strengthening the faculties in their home universities, conducting research into relevant local challenges, inspiring other young women to pursue STEM careers, and use their scientific expertise to influence policy-making locally and internationally.

Following the SHERA Program Director’s presentation on the program and its alignment to the goals of Faculty of the Future, both the Schlumberger Foundation leadership and its Faculty of the Future alumnae expressed interest in how to become involved and whether it is possible to adopt a similar model at other universities. SHERA’s Program Director encouraged alumnae based at CCR institutions to contact the CCR Directors directly to get involved and spoke with representatives from the Schlumberger Foundation about future collaboration possibilities. Since the event, however, SHERA has not received any follow-up communication.

3.3 Monitoring to Sample CCR Indonesian Affiliate Institutions Universitas Bangka Belitung (UBB), one of CDSR-UGM’s Indonesian affiliate partners, invited USAID and SHERA to visit and assess their preparedness in implementing an aspect of the CCR’s research activities. While SHERA could not attend due to a scheduling conflict, from July 12–14, Peter Cronin, USAID/Indonesia Education Office Director, and Jalu Cahyanto, USAID/Indonesia Program Manager, visited the UBB campus and Semujur island, where UGM and UBB have installed photo-voltaic cells (PVC) and worked with the local fishing community to utilize the alternative energy source. Semujur struggles with supplying consistent electricity to its residents and community members have welcomed CDSR’s commitment to build alternative energy sources and work within the island’s school system to provide Figure 10 Peter Cronin, USAID Indonesia Education Director, visited vocational training on PVC maintenance.

CDSR’s commitmented to work within the The CCR will continue to work with the island’s school system to provide vocational training on PVC local community and utilize this remote maintenance. island as a prime location for PVC research, experiments, and modelling.

IV. Operations

4.1 Year 2 Work Planning As SHERA’s Year 1 Implementation Plan concluded at the end of this quarter, SHERA spent time this quarter developing its Year 2 work plan (October 1, 2017 – September 30, 2018). The work plan includes a series of activities to build on the relationships established and milestones reached in Year 1 that will support the SHERA in achieving its program objectives. SHERA now knows that CCRs will require significant operational support, SHERA has focused on activities including ongoing workshops and virtual mentoring to CCR leads on financial and grants management; MEL; and communications and outreach to support successful partnership implementation. Along with capacity building, SHERA will support successful university partnerships by developing an independent website and portal to encourage CCR members to connect and share valuable resources, challenges and successes; creating

13

and maintaining a Management Information System (MIS) to record and analyze data, and generate reports; and creating a series of knowledge products on best practices and lessons learned that SHERA will share and discuss at its Annual Conference for CCRs and key stakeholders in mid-2018. SHERA will coordinate with the technical experts from SHERA’s selection panels to provide technical monitoring and guidance. Lastly, SHERA plans to send out a survey early next quarter to all CCRs to request their input on the type of support and capacity building they believe they need. SHERA will further develop the scope of CCR support and identify the type of experts needed to lead these activities based on the survey findings, which it will incorporate into the Year 2 Implementation Plan before submitting it to USAID for final approval.

4.2 SHERA Website SHERA received approval from the Indonesian Website Governance Board to move forward with the program website in early July. Since then, SHERA’s implementing partner, the Indonesian International Education Foundation (IIEF), under the coordination of SHERA’s Communications and Outreach Specialist, has conducted a procurement and selected a local website developer to build the website. The web developer soon discovered Figure 11 www.research-shera.org is ready to be input. the website’s initial address is already in use and, in consultation with USAID/Indonesia, SHERA chose an alternate web address, www.shera-research.org. SHERA is currently finalizing the digital content, while the developer prepares the front and back-end of the website. Along with sharing general program information, the website is critical to SHERA’s overall communications strategy as it will be a platform for direct communication with the general public, and integrate with each CCR’s portal, which CCRs will use share valuable information with one another. See SHERA’s Q4 2017 Communications Report for more details on the program website.

4.3 Staff Hiring and Recruitment During this quarter, IIE on-boarded two Grants Assistants to support the SHERA Grants Manager in reviewing and approving CCR financial reporting and supporting documentation. Following the findings from IIE’s White Paper and the subrecipient risk assessments, SHERA determined these two roles as critical in monitoring and supporting proper financial and operational processes among the CCR leads.

V. Challenges

5.1 Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning In working with the CCR leads in depth over the quarter, SHERA identified some initial key implementation challenges:

• As it is currently defined, SHERA’s output indicator 3.1.2, # of scholars at CCR institutions with increased access to external research resources & academic research engines, will require an unrealistic investment of funds in order for CCRs to meet current targets. Improving scholars’ access to academic research engines would cost approximately IDR 3 billion/USD $73,900 per year, per CCR. Additionally, CCR leads have expressed strong concern in their ability to provide their affiliates access to the platforms, based on account and log-in requirements. In the following quarter, SHERA will discuss these details with USAID during a data quality assessment meeting,

14

and suggest adjusting this indicator to include e-library platforms that are less expensive and can be integrated on all CCR websites, enabling access among all CCR members to these resources. • SHERA believes it’s intermediate results indicator 2, ratio of citations to publications produced by Indonesian researchers, requires revision as well because the current definition includes only Scopus-indexed citations. During conversations with the CCRs and Kemrisktekdikti over the quarter, SHERA now understands that the Scopus process for reviewing and approving publications could last longer than the length of the program. If SHERA only counted Scopus-cited publications, it would not be an accurate reflection of the quality of CCR publications. SHERA proposes to increase the means of verification to include Google Scholar as well as Scopus. As neither SHERA nor USAID are experts on research data citation platforms, in the coming quarter, they will meet with Kemristekdikti to ensure accurate detailed indicator descriptions. • In response to the CCR baseline survey, there was not a consistency among the CCRs in terms of the data level they used. For example, some CCRs used data from the institutional-level to respond, while others used the department, faculty, or research unit level. This contributed to data bias, which SHERA will minimize by re-standardizing the data coding base to research unit- level to ensure data reliability and accuracy.

5.2 CCR’s Operational and Program Capacity Along with the operational and programmatic successes each CCR experienced in its start-up activities, each CCR also experienced challenges. Specifically, one challenge all CCRs have come up against is the lack of processes and efficient systems for transferring funds internally from the rectorate-level bank account to the CCR-level bank account. SHERA is in close communication with USAID, Kemristekdikti and all CCRs’ leadership to find solutions. Additionally, Kemristekdikti will host a meeting early next quarter to determine and document next steps. In the meantime, all CCRs have received pre-financing from their institution to enable the start of program activities.

Challenges unique to each CCR include the following:

CCR ARI - UNPAD As an autonomous university, CCR ARI-UNPAD has the authority to manage its own income and expenditures. However, due to an institutional policy that requires all funds moving out of the rectorate bank account receive a 10% value-added tax (VAT), the CCR has yet to receive the funds in its bank account. As SHERA is an assistance grant, and not a service or commodity, SHERA funds should be exempt from this tax. Since discovering this challenge, SHERA has been in close communication with Kemristekdikti and the other CCRs in supporting CCR ARI-UNPAD to justify their reasoning with their Directorate of Finance and their local tax office to receive a VAT waiver.

SMART CITY - UI SMARY CITY-UI’s challenges include the difficulty in complying with both their institution’s and SHERA’s administrative requirements. Specifically, it has experienced bureaucratic delays in financial and budgetary workflows. Specifically, it took 26 days from SHERA’s funds to move from the rectorate bank account to the CCR bank account. This has caused major barriers for the CCR to implement its activities per its timeline as well as meet its financial reporting requirements to SHERA. CCR team members spent significant time over the quarter meeting with the UI Finance Rector to determine an increasingly efficient process for the transfer of funds. Although the two entities remain in negotiation, the Finance Rector is supportive of the program and SHERA remains optimistic that the upcoming meeting between Kemristekdikti, SHERA, USAID and the CCR leadership will identify a path forward to influence UI’s and other CCR leads Rectors to encourage the efficient flow of funds to the CCR bank accounts.

SMART CITY-UI also meet initial challenges in its participant target numbers for their proposed SHERA research writing program. Those researchers who applied have research articles not related to a SMART CITY theme or topics and are not eligible. To address this challenge in the upcoming quarter, the CCR plans to conduct a Research Design & Methods Short Course for Junior Faculty

15

Members & Graduate Students. The participants will be invited from all CCR lead and affiliate institutions and will be notified that those interested must propose content related to SMART-CITY- UI’s research theme.

CDSR - UGM The gap in time between the CCR’s initial Kick-off Workshop in June, and their implementation in August, was too wide. During that time, since the CCR staff did not use the information shared during the workshop, it was lost. SHERA’s Finance and Grants and MEL teams will travel to Yogyakarta early next quarter for a refreshment session.

5.3 Time allocation for external meeting/ invitation SHERA continues to experience an increase in external meetings and other event invitations from stakeholders and potential partners, including Kemristekdikti, various divisions of USAID/Indonesia, and the private sector. While SHERA considers this a success in program implementation and outreach, the number of external engagements, specifically of the Program Director, is impacted the amount of time spent in the office to support his team and the CCRs during this important start-up implementation period. To address this, SHERA’s Program Director will delegate relevant managers to represent SHERA, as needed.

VI. Activities Anticipated for Next Quarter (October - December 2017)

6.1 Finalizing Subagreements IIE anticipates executing the final subagreement with IPB to develop a CCR within the priority focus area of Food Security and Self Sufficiency early next quarter. SHERA has already taken several trips to Bogor to support the team in developing an optimal organizational structure and program description and budget, and anticipates the work needed next quarter will focus primarily on submitting a complete grant package to USAID for consent to subaward and to IPB for review of IIE’s terms and conditions.

6.2 CCR Lead Refreshment Sessions To ensure CCR leads success in complying with SHERA’s requirements and procedures, SHERA plans to conduct refreshment sessions over the upcoming quarter. The SHERA team plans to travel to Yogyakarta to meet with CDSR-UGM in mid-October. Due to their proximity to Jakarta, SHERA will invite all other CCR leads to the SHERA office to participate in these sessions in November and December. The topics will include MEL, financial and grants management, and communications and outreach, however SHERA will customize the agendas to the needs and unique challenges of each CCR lead.

6.3 Stakeholder Engagement SHERA will remain engaged with current and potential future stakeholders in the upcoming quarter through the following activities per it’s Year 2 Implementation Plan: • Monthly meeting with USAID/Indonesia to provide updates on the program’s performance and challenges. • Quarterly meeting with Kemrisktekdikti to report on SHERA’s performance and consult on several key issues, which, this quarter, will include financial management of semi- autonomous and working unit public institutions, Scopus index, and coordinating Kemristekdikti technical reviewers’ involvement in monitoring CCRs’ performance. • Private sector engagement meetings to connect CCRs with relevant private sector companies that will support their research. In the upcoming quarter, this will include a follow-up meeting between Thermofisher and NSCTT-ITB and ANBIOCORE-IPB in November; an introductory meeting with the Danone Institution and CCR ARI-UNPAD and ANBIOCORE-IPB in November; and follow-up communication between SHERA and both the Cargill Corporation and Intel Corporation regarding initial meetings.

16

Along with the above planned activities, SHERA will participate in the following activity that is not listed in its work plan, but will support SHERA in achieving results: • Higher education multi-donor meeting coordinated by Kemrisktekdikti and supported by the World Bank to identify challenges in government and donor/development partnerships as well as potential solutions. USAID and SHERA have become important resources in this topic. There will be consecutive meetings once a month over the course of the quarter.

6.4 SHERA Talkshow Outreach Event SHERA initially planned for its first outreach event (termed SHERA Talkshow) at @america on August 22 to bring together technical experts from CCRs, Kemristekdikti, and USAID to discuss recent research innovations and how SHERA is shaping the environment within its priority research areas. However, due to venue availability, @america moved the event to October 3rd. The first event will focus on Indonesian maritime research and innovation. See additional details in SHERA’s Q4 2017 Communications Report.

6.5 Monitoring and Evaluation For the upcoming quarter, SHERA will conduct the following MEL-related activities: • Assisting the CCRs in conducting quality benchmarking as the basis for successful program monitoring at all levels of implementation; • developing a prototype of SHERA MEL management information system based on the data findings from the CCR baseline survey and follow-up conversations with each CCR; and • conducting DQA meetings with USAID focusing on SHERA’s performance indicators that directly contribute to USAID’s performance program report.
