ChildFund Indonesia is
currently seeking:
Position : An independent consultant for job market survey
Duration : Two-month contract
Summary
ChildFund Indonesia in partnership with 5 local
Partners in Central Java is implementing a three-year funded GADIS project as
an alternative solution to encounter human trafficking.
The GADIS (transl. adolescent girl) project, which stands for Girls in Action Develop Inner Selves,
was developed to provide
adolescent girls
who are at
risk of dropping out of school with the opportunity to develop themselves
through a range of trainings and social development courses. With improved skills and higher
incomes, these young women will have greater control over their lives and will be better
able to provide for their own well-being and that of their future babies. Removed from the economic desperation that so often
leads parents to give their children up to traffickers, it is expected that incidents
of female and baby trafficking will be greatly reduced.
This 3 year project, funded by private donors, will reach 2,700 adolescent girls from 27 (Child) Youth Forums in ChildFund’s Local Partners’ 5 working areas
in Central Java and DI Yogyakarta. This project also involve young boys as
indirectly target group.
