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 administered by the 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 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 labour 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
(National Development Planning Agency).
The
MAMPU Program is supporting PERMAMPU, a consortium of 8 civil society
organisations working across 8 provinces in Sumatra on women’s and
gender-related issues.
The MAMPU Program will engage an
individual Technical Adviser (‘the Adviser’) to assist PERMAMPU to: (i)
identify the information required for a baseline; (ii) developing and
applying a simple tool to collect the data drawing on secondary
information; and (iii) identify any critical gaps that may require
additional data collection. Ultimately, the work of the Adviser will
contribute to a practical, methodologically sound baseline that
contributes useful findings for M&E and project decision-making.
