Calling Consultant for
Training on women's Economic Leadership in Seluma-Bengkulu

Background
Oxfam in Indonesia has been implementing a project since February 2017
named “Strengthening Rights and Capacities of Local Community Within Palm
Oil Supply Chain Through Agrarian Reform Program.” The overall objective
of this project is promoting gender inclusivity to enable Indonesian
communities to increase their resilience and to defend and claim their
rights to land. This project would like to realize Oxfam’s vision on land
rights and the palm oil sector. The impact aimed in this project is
defined as: “Smallholder farmers, plantation workers and their communities
secure their right to food.” Gender inclusive, sustainable management of
natural resources and labor assets are also aimed for a long-term practice
change.
As one of the main outcomes, A fundamental vision that we would like to
achieve from this initiative is gender transformation through an activity
named Women's Economic Leadership or WEL. The WEL means women are gaining
the economic and social power to move out of poverty. In practical terms,
this means: securing economic resources; gaining power in markets; and
changing attitudes and beliefs to enable equal relations with men and in
economic decision making.

Our starting point for promoting WEL is one of the rights. Women have the
right to participate equally and fully and enjoy equal control in the
economy. We also base our work on a fundamental economic argument that
gender inequality slows economic growth, and conversely, gender equality
can increase the productivity of investments in agriculture and other
livelihoods initiatives. Women economic leaders can be producers,
entrepreneurs or waged workers.
