Working closely with the country’s government, as well as civil society and community action groups, we’re coordinating our efforts to ensure the people of Indonesia are better prepared to cope with whatever nature throws at them. It’s a huge challenge - this is a part of the world that’s particularly prone to natural disasters. But we’ve already made tremendous headway. And with your help, we’ll bring greater peace of mind and security to those who live in the region.

As a Programme Officer you will be responsible for working together with partner to ensure that disaster risk reduction programme at government, school and community levels is well-implemented and timely targeted. You will also provide technical assistance and coaching partner tightly as our commitment to build their capacities. Three years experiences of disaster risk reduction and or emergency response, experience on working with communities and government, good communication and able to adapt in any circumstances are basically needed.
