JOB DESCRIPTION

1. Organizational Overview
Peace Brigades International (PBI) is an international grassroots NGO that has promoted nonviolence and protected human rights since 1981. PBI uses its international presence and global networks to protect, support and enable the work of human right defenders and local activists for peaceful social change. For over 35 years, we have protected the lives of hundreds of activists. We are nonpartisan and we believe that a lasting peace cannot be imposed from outside but must come from the desires of local people. PBI’s website (www.peacebrigades.org) contains more information.

ELSAM (Lembaga Studi dan Advokasi Masyarakat, Institute for Policy Research and Advocacy) is an Indonesian think tank based in Jakarta that was established in 1993 by a number of human rights activists and lawyers. ELSAM works within the broad objective of supporting the development of a democratic political order through strengthening civil society and human rights and carries out a wide range of activities related to human rights advocacy at both the policy and community levels. PBI Indonesia Project (IP) is a joint initiative between Peace Brigades International (PBI) and ELSAM to provide a capacity building program to Indonesian human rights defenders (the program participants). The Sustainability and Training Coordinator will be based in ELSAM’s office in Jakarta together with the Project Coordinator and Inter-Community Peace Building and Reconciliation Coordinator and will report directly to PBI’s Indonesia Project Committee (PC). Guidance and input will be provided from other PBI entities including the International Office.
