ROLE PURPOSE:

Kolaborasi untuk Edukasi Anak Indonesia (KREASI), or Collaboration for the Education of Indonesian Children, is a program designed to accelerate the improvement of literacy, numeracy, and character education for pre-school and primary school students in 8 districts across 4 provinces in Indonesia. The program is funded by the Global Partnership for Education (GPE) through the Multiplier Grant allocated for Indonesia, leveraging the investment of the Australian Government’s Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) for its INOVASI Phase 3 program.
KREASI, and its Grant Agent, Save the Children Australia and Save the Children Indonesia as the in-country representative, were appointed by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology (MoECRT) and the Ministry of Religious Affairs (MoRA), with the endorsement of Mitra Pendidikan Indonesia / Local Education Group (MPI/LEG), a consortium of 17 international and local education stakeholder organizations. The program is closely aligned with Indonesia’s national education goals, particularly the Merdeka Belajar initiative, which emphasizes essential and flexible learning processes tailored to the interests, talents, and needs of each student, focusing on holistic, relevant, and sustainable education.
This program will synergize its strategies and implementation with the successful DFAT’s INOVASI program. This alignment ensures that KREASI not only adheres to proven practices but also complements Indonesia’s national education strategies.
Under the KREASI Advocacy and Campaign Manager’s supervision, the KREASI Advocacy and Campaign Coordinator will work closely in developing and implementing a robust advocacy and campaign strategy, encompassing a mapping of the landscape and the engagement strategy and establishing partnership with key stakeholders.
This will also include support to provide overall vision and direction of KREASI program’s advocacy and campaign works across thematic areas and ensure that advocacy and campaign are an integral part of KREASI Theory of Change. In addition, support from the Advocacy and Campaign Coordinator in the external policy analysis and advocacy strategy development for KREASI supporting primarily on inequality that will influence government and institutions in changing and/or strengthening the implementation policies and practices to fulfil children’s rights in education, child protection, GEDSI, and climate change will be also required.
