Title of Assignment: Social/Culture Anthropology Survey Consultant
Period of Assignment: 2 months (starting ASAP)
Founded in 1979, ACF International (Action Against Hunger) is an international humanitarian organization that delivers programmes in over 40 countries. Recognized worldwide as a leader in the fight against hunger, our mission is to save lives through the prevention, detection, and treatment of malnutrition, especially during and after emergency situations and conflicts.
ACF has been active in the NTT district since 2007. Around 40 networks have benefited from a renovation, as have water sources and wells. In the Kupang District, ACF has only been active since 2011. The district's needs are still considerable, particularly as the number of stakeholders is lower than the neighbouring TTS district. Moreover, ACF is due to launch a Nutrition program in Kupang and WASH initiatives will be implemented in the same sub-districts in order to strengthen the nutritional program's impact.
As the program is now starting the implementation, we are currently looking for a short term consultancy service for Social/Culture Anthropology Survey (independent or group) and to work in Kupang/NTT Province areas.
