Employment Opportunity – MAMPU Indonesia, Panel Arrangements for Services (Multiple)
Cowater
International Inc. is a Canadian private-sector international
development and management consulting firm, with experience
managing and implementing projects in more than 60 countries worldwide.
Cowater
is the Managing Contractor for the “Empowering Indonesian Women for
Poverty Reduction” Program or “Maju Perempuan Indonesia
untuk Penanggulangan Kemiskinan” (MAMPU) Program funded by the
Australian Government’s Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT).
The MAMPU Program supports networks and inclusive coalitions of women’s
and gender-interested organisations, and parliamentarians
(the MAMPU partners) to influence government policies, regulations and
services, and in selected private sector arenas. Ultimately, this work
aims to improve the access of poor women in Indonesia to critical
services and programs.
The MAMPU Program provides a combination of grants and capacity development support to partners working in five thematic areas:
- 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 labour migration;
- Strengthening women’s leadership for better maternal and reproductive health;
- Strengthening women’s leadership to reduce violence against women.
To
support the ongoing implementation of the MAMPU Program in
collaboration with the national and local partners and stakeholders of
the program, Cowater is seeking
to establish standing offer arrangements (or “Panels”) in multiple
service categories with both individuals and firms who possess a wide
range of skills, capabilities, and areas of expertise. Cowater will use
the established Panels as its preferred sourcing
method to support delivery of the MAMPU program over the next 24-month
period. The standing offer arrangements are not to exceed a total
contract value of AUD 79,999 over the specified term period. A separate
procurement will be conducted for contracts exceeding
this financial limit. Please note that bidding on this tender will not
disqualify firms/individuals from also bidding on subsequent tenders.
