Vacancies at Mercy Corps Indonesia (
Dear All, Please find below
open position.We are trying to
find the best possible candidates to make team stronger.STRIVEProgram SummaryMicro
and small enterprises (MSEs) play a significant role in Indonesia’s economy,
particularly in terms of creating job opportunities and business services. The
‘Strivers’ (entrepreneurs with 2-10 employees) in the business community are
key to the growth and success of MSEs. Despite the large number of micro and
small businesses, their role in economic growth remains low as they are faced
with various constraints, including obtaining formal registration and access to
resources such as loans from financial institutions. Mercy Corps (MC) proposes to support the
Strivers population in Indonesia with increased market participation and
business development. The project will be carried out in the city of Malang and
throughout Malang District over a period of 18 months. In its initial stage,
the program will conduct research to understand the constraints and
opportunities faced by the Strivers population and conduct a gap analysis on
the needs of the Strivers and the products/services that are available or are
already being used. To achieve the program objectives, MC will use a
partnership model to implement training and mentoring, to increase access to
the products and services of formal financial institutions and other resource
providers, and to link Strivers to private sector entities and community
business organizations (CBOs) that can enhance their market access. Considering
the locations of the Strivers’ business activities and MC’s previous experience
in facilitating the access of farmer entrepreneurs and small business owners to
resources, the program will identify effective delivery channels, including by
partnering with extension services and using digital channels. By the end of
the program, it is hoped that 2,250 Strivers (approximately 60% female) will
have taken part in the training and mentoring. It is hoped that 1,125 Strivers
will have improved access to resources. Of those 1,125 Strivers, 50% will
experience business development, increased income, and contribute to job
creation. The program aims to see 280 Strivers experience a sustainable
increase in income.
the end of the grant period, it is expected that:·
2,250 businesses will participate in the program;
1,350 of which will be owned by women·
450 at-risk individuals will be served during the
program, 270 of which will be women· 280 Strivers will have a sustained increase in profits
1,000 of the 2,500 farmers who receive
mentoring financial literacy and business literacy will select and use the
appropriate financial products.
