Role description and task arrangements
Who we are
BIJ12 is the implementing organization for the 12 provinces and brings together knowledge and information about the rural area and physical environment in the Netherlands. BIJ12 ensures uniformity in information supply and implementation of provincial regulations. This is done from 4 units:
BIJ12 is contractor of the Improvement Program for VHR Monitoring (VVM). This program works on necessary and urgent improvements in the national system of nature monitoring, information facilities and reporting, arising from the joint information needs of the Nature Program (PN), Nitrogen Reduction and Improvement Program (PSn) and laws and regulations. Their implementation is a task for Provinces and the State jointly.
The activities in this program are organized along three substantive program lines, arising from the various forms of monitoring: Nature Measures, Environmental Conditions and Target Reach. Each program line has a project team. Each project team coordinates the activities and works with representatives and experts from the participating organizations on the results of the program. In addition to the three program lines, the Data and Information program line was launched in 2024. Program management is carried out by a small program team consisting of the program manager, a program secretary, a program supporter, a communications strategist and a strategic designer. We want to expand this team with a change strategist. In total, the program team now consists of about 30 colleagues.
Context

Its implementation is accommodated by BIJ12.
