#JAKARTA Kemitraan Partnership Vacancy: Program Officer - Sustainable Environment Governance (SEG)

Currently we have immediate vacancy for high caliber Indonesians with high integrity to fill this following position:

PROGRAM OFFICER – SUSTAINABLE ENVIRONMENT GOVERNANCE (SEG)


The environmental destruction, economic loss and abuses of rights that characterize the highly centralized forest sector in Indonesia have been well documented.  Many of these problems stem from a natural resource Governance regime which is non-transparent and highly skewed in favor of immediate commercial exploitation of resources at the expense of sustainability and equity.  Whilst these problems are pervasive, there have been important advances in the last five years, and many opportunities exist to work towards a paradigm change in which forest resources are managed for the benefit of Indonesian people in more accountable and sustainable ways.  Small sporadic changes can be traced from within related government agencies indicated by daily discussions and practices to build foundation for decentralized forest management.

It is noted that changes can be afforded through this momentum of change in response to currently debated climate and forests governance that require inclusion of affected communities and indigenous peoples’ voice.

In responding to a wide environmental issues including natural resources, Kemitraan has developed programs and iniated projects that have been working on the current issues related to forestry governance.
