Oxfam GB works in more than 80 countries to provide people with the support they need to overcome poverty and suffering. Here, in Indonesia, we run a busy programme of development, humanitarian, and advocacy initiatives. We have clear objectives for change and, by strengthening our country team, we believe we can turn our vision into reality. So why not do your bit too? Think about the difference you could make ? the effects of your solutions will be felt for a lifetime.
About the role
This is all about taking an integrated approach to Disaster Risk Reduction and Climate Change Adaptation. One that combines our three core objectives of building resilience, empowering women and influencing decision makers. And which enables the people of Indonesia to prepare for, anticipate and minimise the impact of natural disasters. We?ll look to you to help devise a coherent policy and advocacy strategy, focusing in particular on DRR and CCA, and to develop programmes of engagement so we can work with the government on disaster management and preparedness. You?ll also attend government forums and provide expertise to the wider team on the development of campaigns and advocacy activities, whether that?s by delivering training, offering analysis or facilitating shared learning.
What we?re looking for
With a background in a research or non-government organisation, you?ll bring experience in policy development, research, communications or lobbying. Your focus here will be on DDR and CCA, so we?ll be looking for a background in disaster management and preparedness and a solid understanding of the regional hazards. You?ll also need a good knowledge of Indonesian governmental structures and the policy environment. As a strong communicator, you?ll be confident when it comes to negotiation and representing Oxfam at all levels. Fluency in both Bahasa Indonesia and English is important and you will be committed to using your skills to secure lasting change.
About Oxfam
A simple, inescapable truth underlines everything we do at Oxfam. There?s enough wealth in this world to go around. It?s not unfortunate that people live in poverty. It?s unjustifiable. It?s not their problem. It?s ours too. And with the right support, we can beat poverty and injustice. More than 8,000 people already commit their time and talents to our campaigning, humanitarian and long-term development projects. Now we?re looking for yours.
