Position: GENDER OFFICER
Contract duration: 3 MONTHS
Starting date: ASAP

I. Background on ACTED:
ACTED, l’Agence d’Aide à la Cooperation Technique et au Développement or the Agency for Technical Co-operation and Development, is an NGO registered in France with global operations in Central Asia, Europe, Latin America and Africa.
ACTED has been active in Indonesia since April 2005, assisting those affected by the tsunami and Nias earthquake. Until 2008, ACTED focused mainly on reconstruction and recovery, while interventions since 2008 have shifted towards development initiatives with livelihoods support programs and disaster risk reduction activities. The current sector of intervention is Livelihoods Recovery in Lahewa, Lahewa Timur and Afulu sub districts, North Nias District.
ACTED is currently looking for qualified staff to fill the Gender Officer position in Lahewa (Nias).
II. Background of program:
In accordance with ACTED’s strategy to move interventions in Nias from recovery to development, ACTED implemented a Canadian Red Cross-funded livelihoods project in 26 villages in Lahewa district from January 2008 to December 2009. This project contributed to the restoration and development of the region’s economic backbone: the agricultural and fisheries sectors, while simultaneously establishing foundations for good local governance through capacity building work with village parliaments. Phase I of the Livelihoods Recovery project brought much in terms of training, development, and cohesiveness to targeted villages, and a Phase II has been launched to maximize these impacts and ensure their sustainability. While the ‘Consolidated Livelihoods Recovery Program on Nias’ (Phase II April 2010-November 2011) will continue to focus on rural commodities, the focus of self help groups (SHGs) will shift from production to post- harvest marketing and business development. This will be achieved through capacity building initiatives, technical training, business plan development, SHG linkages to government and financial institutions, and grant disbursement mechanisms.
ACTED will streamline gender awareness training into its capacity building initiatives at the local village government level and also through its Self Help Groups. Women’s participation is essential to the success of representative village government bodies, as well as for the sustainability of group business plans and to achieve positive impact on household budget practices. ACTED seeks a high quality service provider in gender awareness to ensure these objectives are achieved.
