Dear All,
Please find below open position.
We are trying to find the best possible candidates to make team stronger.
Semarang
PROGRAM SUMMARY:
100
Resilient Cities - Pioneered by the Rockefeller Foundation (100RC) is
dedicated to helping cities around the world become more resilient to
the physical, social and economic challenges that are a growing part of
the 21st century. 100RC supports the adoption and incorporation of a
view of resilience that includes not just the shocks – earthquakes,
fires, hazards related to climate such as floods, landlsides, etc. – but
also the stresses that weaken the fabric of a city on a day to day or
cyclical basis. Examples of these stresses include sea level rise,
increasing temperature, high unemployment; an overtaxed or inefficient
public transportation system; endemic violence; or chronic food and
water shortages. By addressing both the shocks and the stresses, a city
becomes more able to respond to adverse events, and is overall better
able to deliver basic functions in both good times and bad, to all
populations.
Semarang has
been selected as one of 100 RC members, where it will be provided with
the resources necessary to develop a roadmap to resilience along four
main pathways:
a.
Financial and logistical guidance for establishing an innovative new
position in city government, a Chief Resilience Officer (CRO), who will
lead the city’s resilience efforts;
b. Expert support for development of a robust resilience strategy;
c.
Access to solutions, service providers, and partners from the private,
public and NGO sectors who can help them develop and implement their
resilience strategies; and
d. Membership of a global network of member cities who can learn from and help each other.
Through
these actions, 100RC aims not only to help individual cities become
more resilient, but will facilitate the building of a global practice of
resilience among governments, NGOs, the private sector, and individual
citizens.
Mercy
Corps has been appointed as 100RC Strategy Partner for Semarang City to
provide essential support to the CRO and 100RC throughout the strategy
development process. Strategy partners “coach” the CRO through the
preparation and completion of Phase I and Phase II activities and
interim deliverables to deliver high quality city resilience strategies.
Mercy Corps has started working with Semarang City through Asian Cities
Climate Change Resilience Network (ACCCRN) Program since 2009 to build
the city towards climate resilience, where one of the outputs are City
Resilience Strategy. Therefore, the 100RC will provide opportunity for
the city to “update” the existing City Resilience Strategy to be more
holistic and enable more collaboration.
