Plan International
is an independent child rights and humanitarian organization committed to
children living a life free of poverty, violence and injustice. We have been
building powerful partnerships for children for more than 75 years, and are
now active in more than 70 countries. In Indonesia Plan International has been
working since 1969 and currently works in 7 provinces and sponsors more than
40,000 children.
Gender
inequalities in the Asian region’s labour market are slowing the transition
towards inclusive growth. Estimates suggest that the region loses up to $77
billion per year due to gender gaps in education and women’s limited access to
employment opportunities, education and financial services. While women’s
performance in various Asian labour markets may vary, women overall are
under-represented in formal employment and over-represented in unemployment
rates, low-skilled, low-paid and unpaid work. Indonesia needs an average of
3.2 million additional skilled workers per year, while budget allocations for
non-formal (vocational) education are limited, leaving a significant number of
youth untrained. This is reflected in a youth unemployment rate of 17.8%.
Approximately 8.7 million women are unemployed compared to 6.1 million men,
while poor women are likely to be unpaid workers (27% of women compared to 6%
of men). To address these challenges, Plan International will implement a
three year project called Wired for Work (W4W) Project in the Philippines and
Indonesia to equip 13,866 marginalized youth, especially women, with life
skills and market-driven technical training. Of this total, 5,700 (41%) will
enter into jobs and at least 100,000 more youth will benefit indirectly from
the YES!DIGITAL Ecosystem tools. Plan International Indonesia will target areas
where the program can build on existing engagement with the private sector and
will benefit of employment opportunities for vulnerable youth, in hospitality,
retail and ICT sector.
Plan
Indonesia seeks to procure the services of an independent consultant to design
and develop baseline study proposal and gender assessment plan for the
project. The full Term of References (TOR) of the consultancy is available in
