Yayasan CARE Peduli (YCP) Chief Executive Officer (CEO) is the
highest-ranking executive in the organization, her/his primary
responsibilities include leading the transition of the organization to
become a key national civil society player in Indonesia and playing
effective role in fighting poverty and social injustice. In line with
Government requirements, the successful candidate will be a Citizen of
Indonesia.
The CEO is responsible for making major strategic decisions, managing the overall operations and resources of YCP, and acting as the main point of communication between the supervisory board and management as well as the key connector with CARE International.
The position also encompasses the leadership and overall responsibility of executing the transition business plan, oversee a robust fundraising strategy, implementation of high quality gender transformative programs, overall financial management; compliance and internal controls, enhancing staff capacity, emergency preparedness, safety and security as well as the overall representation of the organization.
Background
CARE International is a major international humanitarian agency delivering emergency relief and long-term international development projects. Founded in 1945, CARE is non-sectarian, impartial, and non-governmental organization. CARE is one of the largest and oldest humanitarian aid organizations focused on fighting global poverty. CARE is working in over 90 countries, supporting over 80 million people.
CARE's programs in the developing world address a broad range of topics including emergency response, food security, water and sanitation, economic development, climate change, agriculture, education, and health. CARE focuses on empowering and meeting the needs of women and girls and promoting gender equality.
CARE has worked in Indonesia since 1967, adapting to the needs of poor and vulnerable people, and in response to emerging trends in Indonesia society.
Since the Asia Financial Crisis in 1997, Indonesia has undergone significant social, political and economic change. Poverty is reducing, a stable democracy is maturing, and South-East Asia’s biggest economy is growing year-on-year at close to 7%. While many challenges remain – large absolute numbers of people below or near the poverty line; vulnerability to disasters and climate change; deforestation & environmental degradation; de-centralization – Indonesia is now a middle-income country confidently moving forward.
In order to maximize impact, efficiency and relevance, in 2016, CARE International in Indonesia commenced a review and a journey of transition to become a national Indonesian Yayasan and a member of the CARE confederation. Guided by a business plan, a key step in the transition is the change of leadership of the organization from an international staff deployed in Indonesia (Country Director), reporting to CARE Canada’s International Operations and Programs unit, to a national CEO hired by a locally registered Yayasan and reporting to the governing board of the organization.
