VACANCY ANNOUNCEMENT
Humanity & Inclusion (HI) is an independent and impartial aid organisation
working in situations of poverty and exclusion, conflict and disaster. We work
alongside people with disabilities and vulnerable populations, taking action
and bearing witness in order to respond to their essential needs, improve their
living conditions and promote respect for their dignity and fundamental rights.
For more information on Humantiy & Inclusion please visit web site at
http://www.hi-idtl.org and http://www.hi.org. Humanity & Inclusion is the ;
operating name of Handicap International Federation.During the past seven
years, Indonesia has expressed its commitment to enhance the rights and
opportunities of persons with disabilities by ratifying the UNCRPD, and a
vibrant national disability movement has emerged, demonstrating its capacities
by providing recommendations to the government concerning legal reform, raising
awareness amongst the general public in some areas and setting-up networks
across the country.
Still, there are important gaps between national commitments and local
implementation in fulfilling these rights. Disability is not yet recognized as
a significant and cross-cutting human rights issue in planning & budgeting
processes, particularly at sub-national level and there is a lack of awareness
from local decision makers and social service providers to develop inclusive
initiatives and how to foster the participation of people with disabilities.
Appropriate regulations at provincial and district-levels remain limited and
enforcement mechanisms reflect the existing gaps between national and local
levels in protecting the rights of persons with disabilities.
HI has been present in NTT since 2010 and has since contributed to the
disability movement through various projects designed to enhance participation
of people with disabilities in various topics of the development process
including inclusive disaster risk management, inclusive education, and
inclusive planning and budgeting process. A project focuses on social economic
inclusion as a full participation in the society and aim to seek increased
participation and equal opportunities for traditionally excluded groups – such

disabilities named “Building inclusive and sustainable economic growth through
