DAI International Job Vacancy: Investment Specialist, Jakarta

The USAID Jalin Project (hereafter referred to as “Jalin” or the “Project”) is a five-year initiative implemented by DAI Global, LLC and its consortium of partners – IntraHealth, Vital Strategies, and Market Share Associates. Through Jalin, USAID’s role as a development partner in Indonesia is shifting from funding the implementation of specific interventions to facilitating and supporting partnerships through a co-creation process across a variety of stakeholders to catalyze local solutions, leverage public and private financing, and increase the pace at which reliable local evidence is made widely available and utilized

During year one of the activity, Jalin works in six provinces of Indonesia: Banten, West Java, Central Java, East Java, North Sumatra, and South Sulawesi.
