Make a difference in disaster response across the Pacific.

Tetra Tech International Development is seeking an experienced Gender Equality, Disability, and Social Inclusion (GEDSI) Specialist to provide short term technical expertise to the Humanitarian Logistics Capability (HLC) program. This is your opportunity to play a role in Australia’s humanitarian responses, supporting communities affected by disasters across the Pacific and beyond.

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.

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 implemented by Palladium on behalf of DFAT.

Purpose of the Position

The Deputy Program Director – Operations will be responsible for overseeing the effective and efficient management (HR, Finance, Procurement, Grants, Administration and IT functions) of national and sub‑national operations, ensuring that project implementation is aligned with approved program plans; support systems operate smoothly in accordance with Palladium, DFAT, and Government of Indonesia (GoI) policies and regulations; and remain responsive to evolving program requirements.

The Deputy Program Director – Operations is also responsible for overseeing the INOVASI Operations Manager, Finance Manager, HR Coordinator and Budget & Implementation Coordinator for performance management purposes. The Deputy Program Director – Operations may serve as the Acting Program Director, as assigned by the Program Director, on specific issues or during periods of absence.
