Save the Children
in Indonesia is changing for the better. We've begun to build a
national organization that aims to be a strong, local, and
self-sustaining voice for children in Indonesia. To this end, SC
Indonesia has been designated as a “Prospect Member”. As
‘Prospect
Member’ Indonesia has been identified as part of the next way of new
member development, which focuses on strengthening and localizing our
voice for children in strategic middle income countries. Indonesia has
been authorized by member ballot to start fundraising
locally as a first step towards building a financially sustainable
local organization. Future work will also involve developing a strong
local governance structure and building key partnerships with local
government, the private sector, local civil society
among others. Success of the pilot phase will set the Indonesia on a
pathway to full membership. We are currently seeking to fill the
following position:

1 position based in Jakarta

CONSULTANCY PURPOSE

YSTC-Save the Children conducted
Education
Program Learning Group (PLG) on October 2018 attended by education
program staff, MEAL staff, PDQ team from Eastern & Central Indonesia
area office and PDQ member
in Country Office included Advocacy Director. Trough this PLG, participants have opportunity to share learning and best practices, develop common learning agenda/learning
questions and come up with generating findings. The interesting findings of
Early Childhood Care & Development (ECCD)
programs indicated that the ELM (Emergent Literacy and Math) program
intervention and Play principle/methodology contribute to improve child
development results for young children measured by IDELA (International
Development Early Learning Assessment) tool.
All ECCD Projects use IDELA for children tool to measure learning
outcomes for children 3-6 years. The ELM program intervention has
contributed significant improvement for all ECCD projects. We found the
highest IDELA score for urban context is language domain
and cognitive domain(Math). However, for rural contexts the highest
IDELA score is motoric domain. The highest gain of domain after
intervention both in urban and rural context is Literacy. The other
interesting finding is ECCD program which focus on Play
principle, ELM and caregiver (both male & female) involvement will
give more significant IDELA score improvement particularly on Language
and cognitive (Math).
These
IDELA results or findings learning document above will be used as basis
for scale up and developing a replicable model for
YSTC-Save the Children project in other areas and promote the national
government to adopt this approach for more significant outcomes in wider
areas. This is aligning with
