Mercy Corps Indonesia Open Vacancies

We are trying to find the best possible candidates to make the Mercy Corps team stronger.


Program Summary: Value Initiative Program (VIP)

The Value Initiative Program, funded by the SEEP Network, and implemented by a consortium led by Mercy Corps and including Swisscontact and PUPUK, will address the constraints and market imperfections that impede some urban enterprises from growing past the bare subsistence level. To examine the specific issues of urban value chains, including the massive informal sector, social networks, urban-rural linkages, and potential for commercialization and growth for subsistence- level enterprises, VIP has selected the tofu and tempe value chains.
