CARE International Indonesia in Kupang (East Nusa Tenggara) is currently recruiting the following position for its project:
JOB TITLE
DEPARTMENT/PROJECT : PROGRAM/ADVANCE
REPORTS TO : MARKETING and COMMUNICATION SPECIALIST & PROJECT MANAGER
BACKGROUND
The capacity building program and its activities rely on variety of well-designed and effective IEC materials to ensure the knowledge sharing and transfer process succeed. Today, some electronic media and communication devices can be IEC-focused as well. Radio, television, website and social media that disseminate information – whether as a straight forward explanation or in the form of stories – are also called IEC materials.
The success and impact of IEC materials depends largely on the understanding of the target audience. Working with target audience throughout the development of IEC materials, and in developing usage strategies for those materials, helps ensure that IEC materials meet the needs of the intended target audience.
Particularly in ADVANCE Project, CARE International Indonesia will not only provide ‘traditional’ IEC materials but also try to come up with website-based media as well as a new innovation by providing mobile-based communication and information media. As we might aware, currently more people prefer to access the websites when they seek some information rather than read a book. They opined web-based media, including social media are more easy-to-use and accessible. Those typical persons spend at least four hours per day in cyberspace and only about an hour a day to read newspaper or any printing materials.
In some discussions with ADVANCE Project beneficiaries, some farmers said that they access website through their smart phones and stated that they spend more time using mobile app than a website, since apps are installed on smart phone and they are always accessible, even if there is no internet connection available. For instance, our assisted farmers are facebook app regular users but not familiar with its website. They know how to update the status but do not aware it has specific page for group and business.
As part of the strategy to enhance knowledge sharing, ADVANCE Project plans to provide IEC material in both platforms, web-based and mobile-based. Those platforms not only prepared for our project beneficiaries but also for wider users such as potential buyers and suppliers of piggery products, government and all actors in pig farm’s supply chain.
PURPOSE AND SCOPE OF WORK
The web-based and mobile-based IEC material purposes as:
- Knowledge sharing: The time constrains due to large scale of assisted area and existence of the expert in assisted area is two main obstacles in piggery farming. Our market assessment proved that our farmers face difficulties to consult with the veterinarian and experts since most of them are based in Kupang city. However, the learning process among farmer groups is also not running frequently. Some farmers said that it is not easy to set a time to meet other farmers from another village. Previously, the project team supports the communication process among farmers and between farmers with veterinarian/experts, but as part of exit strategy this media will exchange that role.
- Effective communication: ADVANCE Project encourage its assisted farmer groups to build communication and partnership among each other as well as with other actors such as big-scale farming, buyers, suppliers, academics, civil society organizations and government. It aims to exchange information as well as look for potential market both in Kupang or neighbor districts
