Deadline: 27 February 2022
Location : Jakarta
Job Type: Fulltime
Mission and objectives
UNICEF works to help the children of Indonesia reach their full potential. We assist our partners to monitor and measure progress against these rights via the child-focused Sustainable Development Goals, with an emphasis on the most vulnerable children. Our programme interventions are rights-based, cut across different sectors, respond to the specific needs of girls and boys and address the vulnerabilities and strengths of children in their first and second decades of life.
UNICEF has a strong on-the-ground presence in Indonesia, with seven regional and sub-regional offices. These are primarily in areas with the greatest disparities and service gaps. They complement our high-level policy and programme advice with practical support for planning, financing and service delivery, especially to advocate for quality, equity and sustainability.
Indonesia has the world’s fourth largest child population. UNICEF's presence in the country means we have the potential to impact more than 80 million children. We take this responsibility seriously and are committed to ensuring that children and adolescents – the building blocks of Indonesia’s future – have an equal chance in life.
Context
Across the globe, violence against children affects up to one billion children annually and has significant lasting effects that threaten children’s well-being and may persist into adulthood. However, much of this violence is preventable through programs that address root causes and risk factors. Harmful social norms can create a climate in which violence is either encouraged or normalized; to prevent violence against children, adolescents, families and communities must be encouraged to replace harmful norms with non-violent and respective norms and values that encourage positive and gender equitable relationships for all children and adolescents.
The Government of Indonesia has made child protection a priority in its national development plan. UNICEF Indonesia is supporting the Government of Indonesia to address violence through a number of evidence-based programmes in order to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), in particular SDG 5 and 16. In order to ensure that these SDGs are achieved by 2030, the government will need timely access to evidence and data to inform programmes as well as to monitor and evaluate progress. In addition, strong knowledge management to ensure documentation and sharing of good practices and lessons learned as well as to raise the visibility of these programmes at national and sub-national levels is crucial. Finally, communicating results to the public through social media and other channels will support the successfully implementation of child protection programmes.
Under the supervision of the Chief Child Protection, Jakarta, the Child Protection Officer- Knowledge Management provides professional research, data analysis, knowledge management and communication support while learning organizational rules, regulations and procedures to support the development and implementation of the Child Protection Programme within the new Country Programme 2021-2026.
