Programme Coordinator – Child Rights (1 position)

ROLE PURPOSE:

The COVID-19 outbreak was announced by the President of Indonesia on 2 March 2020. As of 8th May 2020, there are 13,112 positive cases, 943 deaths and 2,381 recovered across 34 provinces and 354 districts. This includes around 100 positive cases in children between 0 and 9 years old. Indonesia’s current testing rate is 0.19 per 1,000. The current COVID-19 test capacity is extremely low compared to other countries and so these figures might not reflect the real situation. Densely populated Java Island and the capital Jakarta has been the epicentre of the outbreak so far. The National Disaster Management Authority or BNPB has announced the Emergency Situation Status on Outbreak Disaster of COVID-19 in Indonesia, which has been extended until 29th May 2020. The National Taskforce for COVID-19 has been established, and sub national government from provincial to village level are expected to lead similar taskforces, but guidelines for community-based mechanisms are still being developed. Local government regulations and approaches to respond to the situation varies.

Save the Children Indonesia has securing internal funding from the movement named, the COVID-19 Global Central Fund. This funding aims to:

1. To increase participation of children in the national and provincial dialogues around COVID-19 and ensure key Covid-19 messages are delivered in child friendly ways.
2. To conduct pilot approaches that directly support some of most vulnerable children[1] within the COVID-19 crisis, with key health, education and protection services, delivered safely. We will focus on four key target groups.
   • Children of migrant workers
   • Children living in institutional care
   • Children with disability
   • Pregnant and lactating women and girls / children under 2

This fund will allow us to test these interventions in the current COVID-19 outbreak areas, to be later scaled up by other institutional donors and to other areas across the country.

While some activities will have a nationwide reach, our pilot approaches will take place in Jakarta and Bandung, and either Cirebon or Indramayu areas, to leverage our existing partnership and programme network.
