Job Description

The PROAKTIF Program

Poverty Alleviation and Comprehensive, Inclusive and Adaptive Social Protection (PROAKTIF) is a three-year partnership between the Government of Australia and the Government of Indonesia, to strengthen Indonesia’s social protection policies and systems. A central feature of the program is that it provides support to the Secretariat of the National Team for the Acceleration of Poverty Reduction (TNP2K), a policy think tank which provides evidence-based policy advice and coordination across a range of GoI ministries and agencies. This longstanding partnership has contributed to Australia and Indonesia’s joint goals to address poverty and inequality and reduce barriers to inclusive economic growth. PROAKTIF has two outcomes, first, to facilitate TNP2K in making an effective contribution to reforming and improving poverty alleviation programs; and second, to optimize TNP2K performance, including in the promotion of gender equality, disability and social inclusion (GEDSI) and performance monitoring.
