The International
Federation-Country Cluster Support Team (CCST) is looking for candidate to be
based in Jakarta, Indonesia for the post of
Innovation
Conference Support Officer
(4 Months Fixed Term contract)
 
Job purpose
A
conference on innovation is being planned in February 2016. As a part of the
conference, an innovation challenge will be launched in October so as to
collect some innovative ideas and approaches in flood risk reduction. In
addition, the lead user process has also begun to identify some innovators
across Indonesia who have good idea or projects in hand but are unable to
develop that further due to lack of fund or technical expertise. Best ideas and
projects identified through the innovation challenge and lead user process will
be evaluated and further developed by the CFR project and other partner
organizations as well.
 
This
innovation conference is an exciting initiative and event that is supported by
several other organizations as well. A team at the IFRC Secretariat in Geneva
is providing technical support and international coordination. The country team
in Indonesia is responsible for country level preparations, management of
innovation challenge, supporting lead user process and organization of the conference/final
showcase event in February. There is however limited number of staffs at the
CCST Jakarta at the moment, and the CFR Zurich project team is fully occupied
with the ongoing project activities. There is therefore a need for a short term
staff to support the conference preparation, innovation challenge and lead user
process.
