Founded in 1903, Fauna & Flora International (FFI) is the world’s longest-established international conservation organisation. Our vision is to create a sustainable future for the planet where biodiversity is conserved by the people living closest to it. We aim to do this through the conservation of threatened species and ecosystems worldwide, choosing solutions that are sustainable, based on sound science and take account of human needs. We have become a trusted entity in the world of conservation. Today FFI is active in over 40 countries. 

Working closely with local partners, the Asia-Pacific Programme currently includes a broad range of species and landscape targeted conservation initiatives in Cambodia, China, Indonesia, Philippines, Vietnam, Lao PDR and Myanmar, and has country programme offices in Phnom Penh, Nanning, Jakarta, Manila and Hanoi. Around 70 projects are being implemented in the region by a team of approximately 200 staff, consultants, volunteers and partner organisations with an annual regional budget of approximately USD 9 million. 

The Indonesia Programme is the largest in the Asia-Pacific Programme with an annual budget in the region of USD 3 million. FFI began working in Indonesia in the 1990s with a number of species focused projects including tigers, elephants and the Javan hawk eagle. As the programme evolved, landscape level initiatives for elephant conservation were undertaken in Aceh Province. In the past five years, the programme has grown to include initiatives on sustainable palm oil and high conservation value forest in Kalimantan, NGO network support in Jambi, REDD+ developments in Kalimantan and Papua, biofuel development on Lombok and urban conservation in Jakarta. The Indonesia Programme also continues to prioritise species conservation initiatives in Sumatra and Kalimantan. 

FFI’s Indonesia Programme has recently become active in Papua Province. We are seeking an experienced and dynamic Chief of Party to lead a new USAID-funded project that focuses on forest protection and water resource management in the Cyclops Mountains.

You will be fluent in both bahasa Indonesia and English, be able to write clearly and articulately in English and act as a mentor to the staff and partners who you will supervise as part of the project team. The Chief of Party must be able to integrate fully into the management systems and processes of the wider Indonesia and regional Asia-Pacific programme.
