Save The Children International Vacancy: Project Officer SELARAS - Based In Bandung

Save the Children is the world's leading independent organization for children. We work in 120 countries. We save children's lives; we fight for their rights; we help them fulfill their potential. We work together, with our partners, to inspire breakthroughs in the way the world treats children and to achieve immediate and lasting change in their lives. We have over two million supporters worldwide and raised 1.6 billion dollars last year to reach more children than ever before, through programs in health, nutrition, education, protection and child rights, also in times of humanitarian crises.

By mid-2013 most of our international programs will be delivered through a merged operation with 14 000 staff, managed through seven regional hubs and reporting to a relatively small, central office. We're changing to become more efficient, more aligned, a better partner, a stronger advocate, a magnet for world-class people and relevant for the 21st century.

Save the Children has worked in Indonesia since 1976 to promote health and nutrition, education, child protection, livelihoods, and emergency preparedness and response. Save the Children has grown enormously in the country and today we operate in 13 provinces across Indonesia. Our program in Indonesia has made significant progress at the national policy level. Currently Save the Children immediately need for a senior experienced staff to be part of our SELARAS Project Team and will be based in Kabupaten Bandung.

SELARAS is a health, hygiene and hand washing for newborn survival in Bandung district, West Java. SELARAS is funded by Reckitt Benckiser which aims to contribute to a reduction in newborn mortality in four sub districts in Bandung district and will contribute to Save the Children's global EveryOne campaign which aims to reduce child mortality. SELARAS will be implemented in the same areas as the USAID-funded Expanding Maternal and Newborn Survival (EMAS) in Bandung district, which focuses on improving emergency obstetric and newborn care in first and second - level health facilities. By doing this, SELARAS will support the complete continuum of care from the household to the district hospital and will be able to leverage the EMAS project's local and national relationship for even greater impact. This five years project will achieve its objective by increasing the quality of hygiene and hand washing practices among health facility staff, village midwives and Traditional Birth Attendants to prevent infection during delivery and postnatal care, increasing knowledge and improving practices of household caregivers in newborn health, and improving the policy and resource allocation environment to support improved hygiene and hand washing practices for newborn survival.
