SCI seeks a Consultant for Geographic Information System (GIS) - Setara Project

Scope of Services
Entering school year of 2012 – 2013, Save the Children implemented a project in North Jakarta and Belu, NTT; named SETARA (Strengthening Education Through Awareness and Reading Achievement). SETARA offers solutions to inter-related constraints to primary school access and attendance in a poor area in North Jakarta by implementing Literacy Boost and a Comprehensive School Health and Safety (CSHS) approach; as well as further school readiness by implementing actions that contribute to child health, early literacy, and school readiness among pre-school students aged 4-6 (ECCE) in Belu District, NTT.



Under ECCE component of SETARA Project in Belu, NTT; we will attempt to increase ECCE readiness, by implementing actions that contribute to child health, early literacy, and school readiness among pre-school students aged 4-6, and capacity building will be an essential need for the assessors and staff as one of the key delivery projects. Through its Comprehensive School Health and Safety (CSHS) approaches, SETARA will address student health topics and school preparedness for natural disasters in an area that is highly vulnerable to recurring, serious flooding in Cilincing, North Jakarta. While under Literacy Boost (LB), SETARA will address low educational attainment among disadvantaged Indonesian primary schools in Jakarta Utara through the regular, intensive assessment of student performance in literacy, the development of teacher skills, the mobilization of communities, and advocacy with stakeholders for additional support for literacy programming.
