MAMPU RECRUITMENT
DFAT’s
new gender program, Empowering Indonesian Women for Poverty Reduction
(MAMPU), aims to improve the welfare of poor women in Indonesia. Despite
significant reforms, critical public services
do not always reflect the needs of poor women, or are not accessible by
poor women. This situation has been exacerbated by government
decentralization where local governments are increasingly expected to
deliver social services for the poor despite generally
weak capacity to do so.
Analysis
and consultations identified five thematic areas where reform would
make a significant difference for poor women and where there are
promising opportunities to achieve significant
change:
- improving women’s access to government social protection programs
- increasing women’s access to jobs and removing workplace discrimination
- improving conditions for women’s overseas labor migration
- strengthening women’s leadership for better maternal and reproductive health
- strengthening women’s leadership to reduce violence against women.
Identifying
new approaches to increase poor women's access to services is the
central purpose of this program. These solutions could include
reform to local or national government (and in some cases private
sector), policies, regulations and services.
