Employment Opportunity – MAMPU Indonesia, SENIOR CONTRACTS AND PROCUREMENT OFFICER
The Empowering Indonesian
Women for Poverty Reduction Program or Maju Perempuan Indonesia
untuk Penanggulangan Kemiskinan (MAMPU) Program is funded by the Government of
Australia through the Australian Aid Program in the Department of Foreign
Affairs and Trade (DFAT). The MAMPU Program supports networks and
inclusive coalitions of women’s and gender-interested organizations, 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 focuses on 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 labor migration;
- Strengthening women’s leadership for better maternal and reproductive health;
- Strengthening women’s leadership to reduce violence against women.
The MAMPU Program is managed by Cowater
International. A team of technical and operational staff from Cowater
International is based in the MAMPU office in Jakarta and works closely with
MAMPU partners, DFAT, and the program’s key counterpart in the Government of Indonesia –
BAPPENAS (State Ministry for National Development Planning).
One of the aims of the MAMPU Program is to
catalyze change through
experiments and social innovation to make a positive difference to poor women’s
lives. In order to achieve this aim, MAMPU recently started an Innovation Fund
that supports nine (9) partners that were selected through a competitive
process to undertake a one-year experiment on a problem they have identified. Other
than funding, MAMPU also provides technical support to partners by engaging
social innovation experts that will work closely with MAMPU and the partners
throughout their grant. MAMPU also aims to further embed innovation in other
elements of the program and have started engaging with a Jakarta-based
innovation organization to develop a strategy to achieve this.
