Community Development Officer (CDO)
RESPECT Program
RESPECT is a 5-year program funded by USAID and lead by World
Learning in partnership with CCF and two Indonesian organizations.
The goal of the RESPECT program is to strengthen democratic civic
culture; that is, to provide opportunities for Indonesians who may
hold divergent views to define, create and realize common democratic
values, processes and institutions. RESPECT
is designed to
facilitate the ability of Indonesians to create and participate in
an inclusive public sphere (social and political) that recognizes
and respects the place in society of all citizens irrespective of
religion, ethnicity, gender, or other attribute. The program has the
following objectives:
• Objective I: To increase respect for religious groups,
women, and minorities in the target geographic areas;
• Objective II: To increase citizen participation and
engagement with the government on issues related to pluralism,
religious diversity, and the rights of women and minorities;
• Objective III: To strengthen the legal system to support
pluralism and the rights of religious, ethnic, or gender minorities.
RESPECT will concentrate its work in three geographic areas — West
Java, Central Java, and Banten — focusing on civil society, formal
and informal leaders at the community level, and government
officials at the village, District and, to a limited extent,
provincial levels.
As a member of the RESPECT consortium, CCF is recruiting three and
eventually Three "Community Development Officers," (CDO). The CDOs
will be engaged primarily in activities pertaining to Objective I,
and secondly pertaining to Objective II.
