Vacancy at Arbeiter-Samariter-Bund Indonesia and Philippines : Project Coordinator based in West Sumatra
Arbeiter-Samariter-Bund (ASB) is one of Germany’s oldest and largest social
welfare organisations with over 200 offices and a membership of 1.2 million. ASB
Indonesia and Philippines aims to build resilience through inclusive and risk
aware development. ASB has been working in Indonesia, in partnership with the
Indonesian Ministry of Home Affairs, since 2006. In Indonesia ASB works directly
with partners and communities, and in support of government, to empower and
build resilience through an inclusive whole-of-community approach. PROJECT SUMMARY: Sendai
Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction (SFFDRR) and 2030 Agenda place risk
management central to resilience. Risk prevention and reduction are
increasingly recognised as central to development alongside an ongoing emphasis
on preparedness for response in the SFDRR. At the same time, a broadened understanding
of risk management, under the umbrella of resilience, is proving challenging to
governments. The challenges lie in integrating key development components, such
as income generation for the poor, alongside improved preparedness initiatives.
The project ‘Strengthening
of DRR capacities and resilience of coastal communities in West Sumatera,
therefore, seeks to link socio-economic development activities and risk
management to reduce underlying risk factors in two districts in West Sumatera,
Pesisir Selatan and the Mentawai Islands. The project key components include
capacity building for community through institutionalised and practical
integration of preparedness and livelihood development measurements. The
inclusion of most at-risk groups, i.e. women, older people and persons with
disability in the project implementation will serve as social cohesion
contributor to strengthen community resilience. The project will also seek to
support governance capacities in the two working areas. The project will
seek synergies with government planning and programming where possible and
promote greater emphasis on risk management and inclusion of highly at risks in
line with the National Resilient Village Programme priorities. For this
project, ASB Indonesia and Philippines is seeking expression of interest from
qualified and commited individuals for following position
