Dear Bapak, Ibu,

SNV is looking for Service Provider to deliver the Rapid Disaster Risk Assessment Cacao under SAFE SCORES. Please see more detail in this email and/or in the attachment file.

Thank you for your attention.

 

Dear Admin,

Thank you for your support.

 

 

Regards,

 

Chrstina Heri Satsiwi (Ally)

Operations Officer

 

SNV

 

 

Organisation	SNV
Project	SAFE SCORES (SP2284)
Assignment	Rapid Disaster Risk Assessment of Smallholder Cacao Farmland
Location	Sigi District, Central Sulawesi, Indonesia
Duration	February-March 2026
Reporting to/working with SNV focal point(s)	Project Coordinator SAFE SCORES
Starting date	February 2026

 

1.                    About SNV

SNV is a mission-driven global development partner working in more than 20 countries across Africa and Asia. Building on 60 years of experience and grounded in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, we work on the core themes of gender equality and social inclusion, climate adaptation and mitigation, and strong institutions and effective governance. Together with our team of over 1,600 people, our mission is to strengthen capacities and catalyse partnerships that transform the agri-food, energy, and water systems, which enable sustainable and more equitable lives for all.

 

2.                    Background and objectives of assignment

The Sustainable Agriculture for Forest Ecosystem (SAFE) project is a joint agenda between the Directorate of Food and Agriculture-Bappenas and GIZ. The project is supported by funding from the German Federal Government and the European Union. The main objective of the SAFE project is to contribute to the "inclusive transition of agricultural commodity production towards sustainable supply chains, for Indonesian smallholders"

 

In the implementation of the SAFE project in Central Sulawesi, GIZ has signed a collaboration with a consortium consisting of SNV, GCB and Mondelez which will implement the project in the Sigi area which they call SCORES (Sustainable Cocoa for Forest Ecosystems). The project aims to produce cocoa sustainably while preserving the ecosystem in adjacent rainforest areas. It will enable cocoa buyers to source from traceable and more reliable (deforestation-free) producing areas, securing their access to the EU market. Smallholder cocoa farmers will receive higher and diversified incomes from cocoa agroforestry, including incentives for protecting tree coverage in cocoa-forest conjunction areas, reforestation, and other environmental risk mitigation actions. Higher income will convince them to stay in cocoa production in the long run.

 

Smallholder cacao farming landscapes are increasingly exposed to hydrometeorological disasters, particularly floods and landslides, due to changing rainfall patterns, land-use pressure, and environmental degradation. These hazards pose serious risks to farmer livelihoods by damaging crops, eroding soil, disrupting farm infrastructure, and reducing overall land productivity. Repeated disaster events can trap smallholder farmers in cycles of loss and recovery, weakening their adaptive capacity and increasing vulnerability, while also accelerating ecosystem degradation such as sedimentation, loss of soil fertility, and declining biodiversity.

 

Integrating disaster risk considerations into cacao agroforestry systems is therefore essential to promote resilient and sustainable land management. Land conservation including agroforestry practices through soil intact approach, diverse shade trees, improving ground cover, and strengthening root systems can reduce surface runoff, stabilize slopes, and enhance water regulation at the landscape level. By explicitly incorporating disaster risk reduction measures into cacao agroforestry design and management, farmers can better protect their farms from extreme events while simultaneously improving ecological functions, sustaining yields, and supporting long-term adaptation to climate variability.

 

Therefore, the objective of this consultancy is to provide a rapid, spatially informed assessment of disaster risks affecting smallholder cacao farmland and to formulate practical agroforestry-based recommendations for disaster risk reduction that can inform project planning and implementation.

[newdevjobsindo] INOVASI 3 - Communications Specialist

Februari 09, 2026   Comment  

INOVASI 3 - Communications Specialist

Background:

Indonesia's Vision 2045 sets the goal for Indonesia to transition from a resource-based economy towards an advanced service, technology, and knowledge-based economy by the centenary of its independence (2045). The 2025-2045 National Long Term Development Plan emphasizes the urgency of Indonesia's human resource development to fully realise 2045 goals.

Faced however with persistent low student performance that is emblematic of a learning crisis, significant improvement in student learning will be required to reach Indonesia's 2045 goals. Government of Indonesia (GoI) has started an ambitious program of education reforms. Successive education ministers have set out to modernise the education system through reforming the national curriculum and teaching and assessment approaches, to produce citizens with strong foundational skills, open minds, and inclusive values. 

Australia is a long-term supporter of the Indonesian basic education sector, with continuous investments supporting education quality improvements for the past two decades, including through the INOVASI program (Phase 1 2016-2020; Phase 2 2020-2023) that focused on supporting acquisition of literacy and numeracy foundational skills in early grades classrooms; exploring local problems and solutions; and generating evidence to inform government policy development and practices.

This third phase of INOVASI (2024-2027) builds upon the existing program's approach and lessons learned and takes the focus on the development of foundational skills through to the end of the primary grades. Phase 3 will engage with priority issues of Australia's development policy: gender equality, effective inclusion of children with a disability, responses to the climate change challenge in education. It will focus on the challenge of policy implementation and the gaps that exist between national policies and practices at district and school levels and use the well attested-success of INOVASI's local problem-based approach to continuously support policy development for effective fit between policy and implementation context.

INOVASI Phase 3 is implemented in 25 districts and cities across Indonesia, in the provinces of West Nusa Tenggara, East Nusa Tenggara, North Kalimantan, East Java, West Java, and Maluku. The program also works in Ibu Kota Nusantara (IKN).

The Program is managed by Palladium on behalf of the Government of Australia through the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT).

Purpose of the Position: The Communications Specialist will work closely with and support the Strategic Communications Manager in providing strategic leadership and oversight to INOVASI's communications planning and implementation across core program activities and initiatives.
