The
Deutsche Gesellschaft fuer Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH is a German
international cooperation enterprise for sustainable development with worldwide
operations. The Social Protection Programme is looking for 1 (one) Indonesian expert as
Senior Advisor for Conditional Cash Transfer (CCT/PKH) programme.
Project description:
In the context of the German bilateral co-operation
with the Government of Indonesia, GIZ assists the Government of Indonesia
in the development of long term strategies for a comprehensive system of social
protection since September 2006 with the National Development Planning Agency
(BAPPENAS) as a main partner. Technical assistance in the field of social
health insurance with the Ministry of Health had started even earlier, in 2004.
The collaboration between the Government of Indonesia has been reinforced and
strengthened during the German-Indonesian Government Negotiations in October
2011 and a commitment to prolong the support in the field of Social Protection
has been agreed by both Governments.
The project is aimed at improving the framework
conditions for the implementation of an integrated Social Protection System
with a view to contributing to the efforts of the Indonesian Government for
sustainable and inclusive economic growth.
The cooperation will enter a new programme phase in
January 2014 and will be part of the priority area “Inclusive
Growth”. The programme will
work in the following intervention areas: (1) In the area of Social Assistance/
Basic Social Protection: capacity building for the Ministry of Social Affairs
(MoSA) / Unit Pengelolaan Program Keluarga Harapan (UPPKH) to establish adequate
managerial structures and improve the extension of the Conditional Cash
Transfer (CCT) programme;
(2) In the area of Social Security (with a focus on Social Health Protection):
Capacity building and technical support for Dewan Jaminan Sosial Nasional (DJSN)
to strengthen its role in the implementation of the National Roadmap on Health
and the establishment of the new social security carrier Badan Penyelenggara
Jaminan Sosial I (BPJS I, Health); (3) Support for BAPPENAS and other stakeholders to
lead and coordinate the inter- and intra-institutional policy dialogue on
social protection reform; (4) Advisory services and technical support for BAPPENAS and MoSA to
improve the Inclusion of Persons with Disabilities into Social Protection
Programmes and enable them to contribute to economic growth.
