About the program
The Government of Indonesia is committed to accelerating
the pace of poverty reduction and the President of Indonesia has declared that
poverty reduction is among the highest development priorities of his
administration. This commitment is reflected in Indonesia’s national medium‐term development plan Rencana Pembangunan Jangka Menengah Nasional,
RPJMN, 2015‐2019), with a target to reduce the poverty rate from 11% in 2014 to 7‐8% by 2019. Indonesia’s achievements to reduce poverty have been
significant: between 1999 and 2014, the poverty rate reduced from 23.4% to
11.0%. However, almost 30 million Indonesians continue to live below the
poverty line, and around 99 million are either living in or vulnerable to
falling back into poverty. Furthermore, inequality has risen significantly
since the late 1990s which can threaten both economic growth and stability. Key
policies for tackling poverty and inequality are investment in social
protection and widening access to decent work. Indeed, there is strong
international evidence that well-designed social protection can enable people
to access the labour market and participate in income generating activities,
while also helping generate higher economic growth.
The Integrated Referral and Service System
(IRS) for Social Protection and Poverty Reduction
The Government of Indonesia, under the leadership of
Bappenas, is proposing the creation of an Integrated Referral and Service
System (IRS) to be operated at the local level with the aim of improving
coordination and integration of social protection and anti-poverty programs at
the local level. The IRS proposes to address the current fragmentation and lack
of coordination of national and local social protection and anti-poverty programs,
as well as updating poverty database in a more regular way by providing local
governments with the tools to promote coordination of programs at local levels
and to make the programs more responsive and relevant to local needs and
desires. The IRS will allow local social workers or facilitators to counsel
families on where to seek assistance and what to do, depending on the current
programs they receive, their unmet needs and the supply of programs available
at national and local levels. The IRS will also be a conduit for people to
present complaints and grievances to the different programs, and those
complaints will be tracked and monitored to make sure that complainants receive
timely responses to those complaints. Furthermore, the IRS will be in capacity
to inform national and local agencies about budget needs and priority programs
to address gaps in social protection of poor and vulnerable people including
abandoned women and children, disabled persons, elderly poor with no social
assistance and others.
Remuneration
This is a locally engaged position and a competitive
salary package will be offered to the preferred candidate in line with local
labour laws. The position is open to Indonesian nationals and permanent
residents with authority to live and work in Indonesia.
