Employment Opportunity – MAMPU Indonesia, Panel Arrangements for Services (Multiple)

Cowater International Inc. is a Canadian private-sector international development and management consulting firm, with experience managing and implementing projects in more than 60 countries worldwide.

Cowater is the Managing Contractor for the “Empowering Indonesian Women for Poverty Reduction” Program or “Maju Perempuan Indonesia untuk Penanggulangan Kemiskinan” (MAMPU) Program funded by the Australian Government’s Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT). The MAMPU Program supports networks and inclusive coalitions of women’s and gender-interested organisations, and parliamentarians (the MAMPU partners) to influence government policies, regulations and services, and in selected private sector arenas. Ultimately, this work aims to improve the access of poor women in Indonesia to critical services and programs.

The MAMPU Program provides a combination of grants and capacity development support to partners working in five thematic areas:

1. Improving women’s access to government social protection programs;
2. Increasing women’s access to jobs and removing workplace discrimination;
3. Improving conditions for women’s overseas labour migration;
4. Strengthening women’s leadership for better maternal and reproductive health;
5. Strengthening women’s leadership to reduce violence against women.

To support the ongoing implementation of the MAMPU Program in collaboration with the national and local partners and stakeholders of the program, Cowater is seeking to establish standing offer arrangements (or “Panels”) in multiple service categories with both individuals and firms who possess a wide range of skills, capabilities, and areas of expertise. Cowater will use the established Panels as its preferred sourcing method to support delivery of the MAMPU program over the next 24-month period. Please note that bidding on this tender will not disqualify firms/individuals from also bidding on subsequent tenders.

Category A: Communications & Knowledge Management
