Humanitarian Cash and Economic Programming Advisor
ROLE PURPOSE:
The Humanitarian Cash and Economic Programming (CEP) Advisor will be responsible for ensuring the appropriate, timely and high-quality design and implementation of all humanitarian cash and economic support programming across all YSTC responses in Indonesia.
Working closely with other Jakarta-based thematic advisors (e.g. nutrition, shelter, child protection, etc.), as well as field-based staff, the CEP will drive the development of an overall humanitarian cash and economic strengthening country strategy to include (but not limited to) preparedness actions, external coordination and advocacy, as well as a staff capacity building plan.
The CEP will also be heavily involved in nexus programming, where appropriate/necessary – such as supporting shock responsive social protection, economic graduation programming, adolescent skills development programs, and other longer-term economic strengthening interventions.
The CEP will be the main focal point for cash and market-based programming externally, including the national cash working group with a primary objective of ensuring the uptake of global best practice in cash-based programming.
The CEP will also periodically support Save the Children responses globally via international deployments for cash and economic strengthening positions.
