[newdevjobsindo] GIZ Indonesia for Special Assignment & Urban Development Cluster anchored to ISASP Project: Disaster Risk Management (DRM) Advisor

September 22, 2026   Comment  

The Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH is an international cooperation enterprise for sustainable development with worldwide operations. Its corporate objective is to improve people’s living conditions sustainably. 

In the context of the bilateral cooperation between the Government of Germany and the Government of Indonesia, GIZ received a commission from the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) on Adaptive Social Protection/Integrated Solutions in Disaster Risk Management and Social Protection (ISASP), anchored under the Special Assignment and Urban Development areas. 

The ASP aims to provide integrated solutions to improve the crisis response capacity and long-term adaptation of poor population groups to climate change by linking social protection instruments with disaster management and climate adaptation approaches. By improving the protection of poor people and those at risk of poverty against climate-related shocks, it contributes to reducing the poverty rate (programme objective indicator 1). Incentive systems and financing mechanisms for forest protection and environmental services are being tested with the development of support approaches for adapting livelihoods to climate change in the project provinces (programme objective indicator 2). 

The TC module aligns with the BMZ core thematic strategy "Health, Social Protection and Population Policy". It contributes to the implementation of the "Social protection" field of action, which is committed to establishing universal, inclusive and adaptive social protection systems in partner countries in order to strengthen the population's resilience to individual life risks and collective crises and in future also increasingly to the consequences of climate change.

 The political partner of the project is the National Authority for Disaster Management (BNPB). The project implementation is decentralised in 2 (two) regions, West Nusa Tenggara (NTB) and South Kalimantan (Banjarmasin, tbc). To achieve the module objectives, the Ministry of Finance (MoF), various directorates of the Ministry of Development and Planning (BAPPENAS), the Ministry of Villages (MoV), the Ministry of Home Affairs (MoHA), and the Ministry of Public Works and Housing (MoPUPR) engage as the implementing partners.

With a presence across more than 90 countries, Palladium offers the opportunity to work on meaningful challenges, alongside talented colleagues, in environments where your work can truly make a difference.

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 emphasises 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.

[newdevjobsindo] GIZ Indonesia for the Resilience Nature Cluster anchored to Transforming the Agricultural Supply Chains (TASC) Project: Junior Advisor (Sangatta, East Kalimantan)

September 21, 2026   Comment  

The Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH is an international cooperation enterprise for sustainable development with worldwide operations on behalf of the German Government. The global program “Sustainability and Value Added in Agricultural Supply Chains” is part of the special initiative “Transformation of Agricultural and Food Systems”. On behalf of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ), the program promotes the sustainability of selected agricultural supply chains in partner countries. 

Agricultural commodities play an important role in rural development in many developing and emerging countries, forming the basis for the life of millions of households. However, their production and processing are accompanied by numerous ecological, economic, and social challenges. With consuming markets and multi-national companies strengthening their efforts to eliminate deforestation and human rights abuses from their supply chains, the sustainability of raw materials is increasingly becoming a precondition for market access. To address these challenges, the program implements the project "Transforming the Agricultural Supply Chains (TASC)” in Indonesia.  The GIZ global project TASC strengthens the socio-ecological transformation of global agricultural supply chains. It improves political, institutional, and economic framework conditions, enabling producers, companies, and state actors to effectively implement sustainability goals and due diligence obligations. Through sustainable production and business models, policy dialogues, and digital traceability and transparency systems, partnership-based approaches foster resilient supply chains, decent work, environmental and climate protection, and fair market opportunities. 

With additional resources from the State Secretariat for Economic Affairs of Switzerland (SECO) through the Sustainable Landscape Program Indonesia (SLPI) and the partnership with Proforest, TASC supports the Sustainable Landscape Initiative in Kutai Timur, East Kalimantan (SUSTAIN Kutim). Building on the success of previous Phase 1 of projects, SUSTAIN Kutim aims to a more sustainable, productive, and competitive East Kutai district through reduced deforestation and enhanced livelihoods of local communities. GIZ's contribution to SUSTAIN Kutim is planned for three years and comprises the following outputs:

• Foundational elements (Work Package-1): Improved institutional frameworks, governance of districts ensures long-term sustainability of land use through coordinated decision-making
• Protection of HCV areas (Work Package-2): Ecosystem services restored, biodiversity conserved, and carbon sequestration increased through increased protection and restoration activities
• Sustainable production (Work Package-3): Sustainable agricultural production increases and good practices are adopted at the district level
• Sustainable Livelihood (Work Package-4): Greater economic resilience is achieved through improved income opportunities and livelihoods for local communities
• Sustainable Public and Private Finance Mechanism (Work Package-5&6): Enhanced financial sustainability of landscape initiatives and scalability of impact are achieved through increased private sector investment and the SLA-PFM institutional capacity in East Kutai and one additional SLPI district is strengthened and sustainable landscape investments in East Kutai have increased.

About the Swiss Skills for Competitiveness (SS4C)

The Swiss Skills for Competitiveness (SS4C) programme is a Swiss‑funded initiative implemented by Swisscontact to support Indonesia’s economic development by strengthening the relevance and quality of skills in line with private sector needs. As one of Swisscontact flagship programs, SS4C works with a wide range of actors across the skills ecosystem, including public vocational institutions, government bodies, service providers, business associations, and companies in key economic sectors such as manufacturing, food processing and tourism.

Following its Mid‑Term Evaluation, SS4C has sharpened its strategic focus towards private sector competitiveness, systemic change, and sustainability. The program aims to increasingly position skills development to support business performance and focuses more on a facilitative role that strengthens local actors and provides innovative market‑based solutions. SS4C emphasises deeper engagement with the private sector, stronger public‑private collaboration, and scalable, sustainable approaches, which require adaptive and partnership‑oriented ways of working.
