Adaptasi Perubahan Iklim dan
Ketangguhan (APIK) is a 5-year program funded by United States Agency for
International Development (USAID) that supports the Government of Indonesia to
strengthen climate and disaster resilience, working in an integrated manner
from the national to the regional and community levels.
In support of this
overall objective, APIK seeks to:
- Mainstream climate change adaptation and disaster risk reduction into national and sub-national governance frameworks;
- Build the capacity of local communities and the private sector to address climate change and weather-related natural hazards; and
- Support the use of information for climate and disaster risk management among key stakeholders.
In order to achieve project’s
objectives and for day-to-day implementation, APIK will produce communication
products such as brochure, fact sheet, success stories, newsletter, and others.
It is important to produce visually compelling communication products to
effectively convey message to project’s target audience. Images or photos are
one of critical aspect in communication products.
APIK will need collection of images/
photos related to climate change adaptation, disaster risk reduction,
communities or beneficiaries that APIK works with and have impacted, and others
related to the project. To collect those photos, APIK needs a photographer
consultant as a Short Term Technical Assistance (STTA).

The
scope of work of a photographer is as follows:

the representatives of APIK’s project beneficiaries (i.e. fisherman and farmers
communities, community who live in disaster-prone areas, etc.) and the impact
of APIK’s project on their life. Moreover, the photographer also may be asked
to capture landscape photos, and other images related to climate change
adaptation and disaster risk reduction as stock images to be used for various

his/her own camera(s) and other supporting equipment(s). APIK will not be
