VACANCY – FINANCE & COMPLIANCE OFFICER
The Agency for Technical Cooperation and Development (ACTED) is a French
non-profit organization working in over 30 countries worldwide to
provide emergency response, early recovery, and development assistance
to communities in need. ACTED's interventions seek to cover multiple
aspects of humanitarian and development crises through a
multidisciplinary approach that is both global and local, and adapted to
each context.
ACTED's vision is to establish emergency,
rehabilitation, and development. ACTED aims to guarantee the
sustainability of relief interventions carried out during crises by
remaining in the field after the emergency to engage in long-term
support to communities in food security, health, education, economic
assistance, microfinance, advocacy, and cultural promotion. ACTED's
actions are needs based and identified in a participatory manner with
communities in the areas where we are present. ACTED has been active in
Indonesia since April 2005, assisting those affected by the tsunami and
Nias earthquake and is now working to support livelihoods,
community-based disaster risk reduction, and child protection in North
Sumatra, Nusa Tenggara Timur (NTT), and elsewhere.
Currently ACTED has an immediate need for qualified and experienced
staff to be part of our RADKOM-DRR project in southern Belu District,
NTT. ACTED, in partnership with CIS Timor, proposes to establish a
community radio and provide training that will contribute to improving
communication and capacity among southern Belu communities in order to
improve the timeliness and nature of response to multiple coastal
hazards. The intervention will also work to raise awareness of and
integrate environmental management into risk reduction among communities
and the government, expanding their focus and planning from simple
emergency response to longer-term strategies of disaster preparedness
and mitigation.

(Belu District) project office. In order to apply, please submit (1)
