How you can make a difference:
UNFPA is the lead UN agency for delivering a world where every pregnancy is wanted, every childbirth is safe and every young person's potential is fulfilled. UNFPA’s strategic plan (2022-2025), reaffirms the relevance of the current strategic direction of UNFPA and focuses on three transformative results: to end preventable maternal deaths; end unmet need for family planning; and end gender-based violence and harmful practices. These results capture our strategic commitments on accelerating progress towards realizing the ICPD and SDGs in the Decade of Action leading up to 2030. Our strategic plan calls upon UN Member States, organizations and individuals to “build forward better”, while addressing the negative impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic on women’s and girls’ access to sexual and reproductive health and reproductive rights, recover lost gains and realize our goals.
In a world where fundamental human rights are at risk, we need principled and ethical staff, who embody these international norms and standards, and who will defend them courageously and with full conviction.
UNFPA is seeking candidates that transform, inspire and deliver high impact and sustained results; we need staff who are transparent, exceptional in how they manage the resources entrusted to them and who commit to deliver excellence in programme results.
Job Purpose:
VAW/G remains a significant human rights and public health issue in Indonesia. The 2024 National Women’s Life Experience Survey (SPHPN) found that one in four women aged 15–64 in Indonesia has experienced physical and/or sexual violence by a partner or non-partner in their lifetime, underscoring the persistent and widespread nature of VAW/G in the country. The enactment of the Sexual Violence Crimes Law in 2022 further mandates the provision of comprehensive services for women and children survivors of sexual violence at the sub-national level.
The Government of Indonesia has established Technical Service Units for the Protection of Women and Children (UPTD PPA) under the local Offices for Women’s Empowerment and Child Protection (DP3A) to provide integrated services for prevention, response, protection, and recovery of VAW/G survivors. Within this system, social workers and case managers play a critical role in ensuring timely, survivor-centered, and coordinated case management.
UNFPA has been supporting the Ministry of Women’s Empowerment and Child Protection (MoWECP) to strengthen the capacity of UPTD PPA, including through the Women at the Center (WAC) Project, supported by Takeda Pharmaceuticals Ltd. The project has developed and piloted training curricula and certification modules on VAW/G case management for Professional Social Workers, Social Welfare Workers, and Social Volunteers during 2024–2025 in collaboration with MOWECP and the Training Center of the Ministry of Social Affairs.
Sustainability Challenges.
While the above-mentioned efforts have strengthened foundational knowledge for certifying social workers as VAW/G case managers, evidence shows that acquiring a competency certificate alone is insufficient to sustain improvements in service quality. There are at least two sustainability streams that might be required, namely:
(1) Sustaining the availability and accessibility of the VAW/G-case manager competency certification. This stream may include continued availability of the VAW/G case management competency certification and its renewal system; mandatory requirement for UPTD-PPPA case managers to acquire VAW/G case management competency certificate; and intended budget allocation for UPTD-PPPA, e.g., as part of scope of Special Allocation for non-physical infrastructure, as an incentive for their staff to take the VAW/G competency certification, and
(2) Enabling environment at the subnational level to sustain implementation capacity of the certified case managers in service. It may include SOP of the UPTD-PPA for continuous supervision, mentoring, and peer learning to ensure consistent application of case management standards and to support frontline workers managing complex VAW/G cases.
To meet those sustainability measures, UNFPA, therefore, seeks a consultant to develop a Business Model for the sustainability of VAW/G Case Management for Social Service Workforce. This initiative will be, in close coordination with MOWECP and the Ministry of Social Affairs to support the institutionalization and ensure sustainability of qualified VAW/G case management within the UPTD PPA system. It is also in line with the Government’s efforts to standardize UPTD PPA services through a forthcoming ministerial regulation.
