About Hivos
Hivos was founded in 1968, inspired by humanist values. Our founders held the conviction that development work should be secular, as true cooperation presumes respect for differing beliefs. In our first ever brochure, our founders wrote that “necessary changes should spring from communities themselves – from people at the base of society.” These convictions are still reflected in our work.
We believe that human life in its many forms is valuable, and that people are filled with potential. Living a life in freedom and dignity, with respect for each other and the planet, leads to greater individual well-being and fair, vibrant societies.
The Role
The Regional Director (RD), Southeast Asia will have dual accountability lines. At the point of appointment, the Regional Director will be responsible to the Executive Board (EB) of Hivos Foundation(Humanist Institute for Co-operation with Developing Countries, The Hague, the Netherlands). Over the next 2 years (before 30 Nov 2020) as the Hivos Foundation transitions into Yayasan Humanis dan Inovasi Sosial (Yayasan Hivos) the RD will primarily report to the National Board of Yayasan Hivos with a matrix link with the EB of Hivos Foundation denoting contribution to Hivos global program strategy and compliance with internal Hivos-wide policies across functional areas such as finance, human resource, logistics, risk management, safety and security etc.
Hereinafter the generic term ‘Hivos’ will denote both Hivos Foundation and Yayasan Hivos in the context of this transition.
