Background

The Global Green Growth Institute (GGGI) is looking to hire a Program Officer for GGP Joint Secretariat.

GGGI is an international organization dedicated to pioneering and diffusing a new model of economic growth, known as “green growth”. This simultaneously targets key aspects of economic performance, such as poverty reduction, job creation, social inclusion and those of environmental sustainability such as mitigation of climate change and strengthening the resilience of natural capital and ecosystem services.  GGGI’s approach is particularly suited to developing countries because it starts from broad-based progress in living standards and growth. Since 2013, GGGI has worked in close collaboration with the Government of Indonesia in the GoI-GGGI Green Growth Program (GGP).

BAPPENAS is GGGI’s key government counterpart in Indonesia and the co-host of the GoI-GGGI Green Growth Program. This relationship led to the establishment of a joint secretariat and steering committee under a ministerial decree. Continued engagement with BAPPENAS is needed to strengthen the capacity of the joint secretariat in providing efficient technical and programmatic support to the program. 

Role of the Program Officer

The program officer (PO) for the GGP joint secretariat will provide and coordinate support for the GGP joint secretariat and ensure that it functions as an effective coordination mechanism and to further the goals of the program. The PO will serve multiple functions, including communications and outreach, office and program management, preparation and management of workshops and other program events, and the recording and reporting of such events.

The PO will have a dual reporting line to BAPPENAS, and GGGI’s Green Growth Specialist & Knowledge Manager. On a day-to-day basis he/she will primarily serve the Green Growth Program-related needs of BAPPENAS. As a member of a small but diverse program team, the PO will have multiple responsibilities and will need to be flexible and responsive to sometimes rapidly changing needs and tight deadlines.
