Yayasan Plan International Indonesia Job Vacancy : GESI CONSULTANT

YAYASAN PLAN INTERNATIONAL INDONESIA IS SEEKING CONSULTANT TO CONDUCT                                                                    
GENDER EQUALITY AND SOCIAL INCLUSION (GESI) ASSESSMENT FOR
WOMEN AND DISABILITY INCLUSIVE WASH AND NUTRITION (WINNER) PROJECT CONTEXT

Indonesia has the second highest number of citizens defecating in the open, with 54 million people lacking improved sanitation.  This issue is particularly acute in rural areas where only 46% of the population have improved sanitation facilities (compared to 71% in urban areas)[1]. Inequity in access to sanitation is also significant with Indonesia among 35 countries that have experienced decreased sanitation equality across wealth quintiles over two decades[2].  The Government of Indonesia (GoI) is committed to Universal Sanitation Access by 2019 for the whole country and achieving this goal will cost US$21.6 million[3].
 
Despite Indonesia’s strong economic growth, inequality is on the rise. Gini coefficient has steadily worsened in the last 7 years. In 2015 alone, more than 60.000 Indonesian children died from poor sanitation related diseases. While stunting, another poor sanitation related condition, afflicted 37% of urban children under 5, limiting their physical and intellectual development for life.
One critical pathway the GoI has been trying as a means to improve WASH (and sanitation and hygiene in particular), throughout the country is through its National Sanitation Policy –entitled Community Based Total Sanitation (Sanitasi Total Berbasis Masyarakat). This is known as the STBM policy based on the Minister of Health Decree No. 3/2014. STBM has a five-pillar as the approach to mobilise communities for total sanitation and hygiene. A community achieved total sanitation if the following are fulfilled: open defecation free (ODF) status (pillar 1); hand washing with soap (pillar 2); household drinking water management (pillar 3); household solid waste management (pillar 4); and household liquid waste management (pillar 5).
