JOB TITLE : FINANCE OFFICER (FIN-O)

DEPARTMENT/PROJECT : SUPPORT/BCR CC

REPORTS TO : PROJECT MANAGER

OBJECTIVE OF THE PROJECT:

The overall objective of this project is: Coastal populations in Indonesia are increasingly resilient to the negative impacts of climate change. Resilience can be defined as: The ability of a community to resist, absorb, and recover from the effects of hazards in a timely and efficient manner, preserving or restoring its essential basic structures, functions and identity. Resilience is a familiar concept in the context of disaster risk reduction (DRR), and is increasingly being discussed in the realm of adaptation. A resilient community is well-placed to manage hazards to minimize their effects and/or to recover quickly from any negative impacts, resulting in a similar or improved state as compared to before the hazard occurred. There are strong linkages between resilience and adaptive capacity; consequently, resilience also varies greatly for different communities and even within different community groups.
