The Government of Australia (GoA), through the Australian Department of
Foreign Affairs & Trade (DFAT), is a partner with the National Team
for the Acceleration of Poverty Reduction (TNP2K) under the office of
the Vice President of the Government of Indonesia. TNP2K is a policy
think tank to improve the quality and effectiveness of Indonesia's
poverty reduction programs that reach millions of poor Indonesians. The
next phase of social protection support from November 2015 through to
November 2019 is MAHKOTA Indonesia - Menuju Masyarakat Indonesia Yang
Kokoh Sejahtera (Towards a Strong and Prosperous Indonesian Society). It
will continue to provide support to help Indonesia better reach and
benefit the poorest, as well as address key binding constraints to
growth, competitiveness and rising inequality through ongoing labour
market and social protection reforms.
As Managing Contractor of MAHKOTA Program, Cardno is urgently looking for Senior Economist to be part of the research team. TNP2K is committed to take on evidence-based poverty reduction and social assistance policies.
