Oxfam - Calling for Consultant for

Background

The October World Bank/IMF annual meetings 2018 will be held in Bali,
Indonesia. The meeting will discuss global issues, especially on issues of
country economic growth & development, inequality and poverty. Indonesia
is an influential player in the ASEAN region, and as a ‘tiger’ (BRICSAMIT
) economy policy wins here could potentially have big multiplier effects.

Oxfam in Indonesia has already collaborated with the government on
inequality. Last year, President Jokowi and Sri Mulyani (formerly Managing
Director of the World Bank and currently Finance Minister) agreed with
many recommendations related to inequality in Indonesia. This provides a
real opportunity for Oxfam globally and Oxfam in Indonesia to use the WB
annuals to advance our joint work on the inequality agenda. We can use
this opportunity to profile Oxfam in Indonesia and recapture the political
space. Oxfam will launch CRII just ahead of the annuals. The Indonesia
team needs support from a high performing Advocacy Coordinator to
coordinate our influencing agenda before and during the meetings, and to
