Vacancy-Impact Specialist for Perpuseru Program

Library sector in Indonesia continued to grow in role as well as in
number, which resulted in the increasing number of users. Unfortunately, the
capacity of public library services in Indonesia is still below what are
needed, in terms of soft and hard skills. More importantly, the need to keep up
with the global technology development in this era of information technology is
indispensable for library.
The literacy on information and ICT is getting
critically important due to its increasing role in many walks of lives. In
addressing this issues, Coca-Cola Foundation Indonesia with Bill and Melinda
Gates Foundation support is implementing PerpuSeru program to develop public
library into well used, ICT enabled, productive, and sustainable community
learning centers. Lessons learned from the PerpuSeru program will
result in a better understanding of growing and maintaining the role of
libraries as sources of knowledge and information. Specific target users, i.e.,
women, youth and micro-entrepreneurs will benefit through improved skill and
knowledge in, among others, health care and/or economic development, and
improved access to information on job opportunity and creative industry, and
improved information to develop entrepreneurship. In the long term, we expect
that PerpuSeru program will enable end beneficiaries to improve their quality
of lives especially in aspect of health and economic development, create better
opportunities in employment and education as well as improve competitiveness in
the entrepreneurship skills.
