Vacancy Programme Director NLR Indonesia
The Netherlands Leprosy Relief is a non-profit organization and active in 15 countries in Africa, Asia and Latin America. NLR maintains seven Country/Regional Offices and the total year budget is some € 10 million. Indonesia is one of NLR’s most important programs with an approximate budget of approximately € one million per year.
The main partner for leprosy control is the Ministry of Health of Indonesia. At the provincial level, the provincial health services are important partners. For rehabilitation, NLR Indonesia works closely with a number of local Non- Governmental Organizations (NGOs) and Disabled Persons Organisations (DPOs) and with other important stakeholders such as Universities and Hospitals.
The NLR team based in Jakarta consists of 16 staff, including office staff, Programme Managers and advisers on leprosy control and disabilities. NLR provides technical support, on the job training, and coaching to provincial health programs, local NGOs and DPOs. NLR is currently going through a transition process where all Country/Regional Offices are transformed into local NGOs working together in a federation with NLR. In light of this process, programme management of the organisation needs to be enhanced.
