INTRODUCTION
The ILO MAMPU Access to Employment and Decent Work project is designed to promote economic and social empowerment of women through strategies that strengthen women's access to and equitable involvement in formal employment in Indonesia. The Project will work with various institutions and organisations in Indonesia to strengthen the capacity of key stakeholders to promote the Project's objectives - to strengthen poor, vulnerable and marginalised women's access to employment and equality in employment. This Project contribute to the broader AusAID MAMPU Indonesia (Maju Perempuan Indonesia untuk Penanggulangan Kemiskinan) Programme.
Project objectives of economic and social empowerment for target beneficiaries will be achieved through the following strategic interventions -
- Strengthening the organisational capacity and representation of targeted vulnerable women workers;
- Supporting women to transition from informal to formal employment;
- Strengthening the ability of partner civil society organisations to provide services and facilities to women to reduce barriers to decent work in the formal sector;
- Supporting employer incentives to empower women and implement better working conditions and innovative employment responses; and
- Influencing and strengthening national and local policies, programs and laws to promote women's economic empowerment and equality.
The main areas of intervention of the project take place through a series of innovative pilot projects. Pilot projects include -
- Supporting home based workers to formalize and access better working conditions and livelihoods;
- Strengthening the ability of trade unions and women's organisations to organize and better represent women's rights and interests at work;
- Technical assistance to employers to support decent work for women and substantive equality in terms of labour market outcomes; and
- Supporting women's cooperatives and groups to provide accessible childcare services and other facilities to enable poor women to access or return to employment.
These pilot programs have a strong focus
on institution building of local project partners to strengthen the
visibility, representation and social and economic empowerment of women
workers in Indonesia. In addition to these pilot programs, the project
will support policy reform and provide programme support at the national
and local levels to promote a more conducive environment for women to
access formal employment. Awareness raising and advocacy on principles
of equality and non-discrimination in employment will also be promoted.
Given the innovative nature of the pilot programs in the Project, the Monitoring and Evaluation / Research Officer shall be recruited to lead and manage the monitoring, evaluation and research activities of the Project so as to contribute to institutional learning and scaling-up of Project pilots.
The Monitoring and Evaluation / Research Officer will work under the supervision of the Chief Technical Adviser for the MAMPU Project. He/she will proactively collaborate with colleagues in the MAMPU Project, ILO Country Office for Indonesia, as well as colleagues in the ILO Decent Work Team for South-East Asia and the Pacific and Headquarters as needed.
