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. Please note that bidding on this
tender will not disqualify firms/individuals from also bidding on
subsequent tenders.
