JOB VACANCY
ChildFund Indonesia has been implementing child-centered
programs since 1973 .Through community-based, culturally grounded,
participatory program approaches, ChildFund Indonesia works with 16 local
partners in 32 districts in eight provinces. In 174 villages where we work, we
support 318 ECD exclusive and/or integrated health posts (Posyandu), 87 child-friendly schools and 96 child forum. Through these community-support mechanisms,
ChildFund Indonesia ensures local leadership support and ownership of project
activities. For more information please visit www.childfund.org
The
ENHANCE project is a multi-country project implemented in Indonesia, Sri Lanka
and the Philippines, with the aim of securing young child’s access to quality
nutrition, health, education and early childhood services. In Indonesia, the ENHANCE
project is being implemented in ECD centers operated by 5 local partners in 14
sub villages, which are located in the 9 districts of West Java, DKI Jakarta
and Central Java.
Since
its implementation in August 2011, the ENHANCE project has benefitted more than
700 children and parents/caregivers through physical improvements, trained teachers/health
cadres and through empowering lead mothers in parenting education activities. The
ENHANCE project works with the local government from the village up to the district
level to facilitate the sustainability of support, and to ensure improvements
in related sectors are sustainable in the longer term. The ENHANCE project has
entered its fourth year and is in its third phase of implementation. The
project will be completed by October 2015.
The ENHANCE project was
designed to address some of these issues. The project strives to improve child
well-being through the provision of high quality ECD services, while at the
same time improving parents’ ability to provide quality care and early stimulation
in the home. For Phase 3 of the project,
Indonesia focused interventions on preparing children for school in addition to
the continuing activities from phase 2.
The
endline survey for this project is being proposed to measure the level of
Knowledge, Attitude and Practices (KAP) of parents/caregivers over the 4-year
period. Given the focus on ‘school readiness’ in phase 3 (which is usually
related to pre-numeracy and pre-literacy readiness), the endline survey will
also accommodate this component.
