Lowongan NLR : Project Coordinator

NLR is urgently looking for an enthusiastic staff member to fill the following vacancy :

Project Coordinator

(based in Surabaya)

NLR, is a professional organization working in the field of leprosy and disability in 16 leprosy endemic countries. Each year, around 219.000 people globally are diagnosed with leprosy. Indonesia ranks number 3, with relatively high disability rates. NLR, with its International Office in Amsterdam, has been supporting projects in Indonesia since 1967. The main partner of NLR is the Ministry of Health (MoH) and activities are aligned to MoH policies and priorities. At provincial level, the Leprosy Control
Program Technical Advisors (LCTAs) are strengthening the capacity of the provincial and districs government's health staff to improve the quality of leprosy services. Next to supporting leprosy control, NLR's Inclusion and Disability program aims to support and advance holistic, community-based rehabilitation and sustainable inclusive development for persons with
disabilities, including children with disabilities and people affected by leprosy.


PEP++ Project

Chemoprophylaxis with a single-dose of rifampicin (SDR) has shown to be effective as post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) in contacts of leprosy patients. It is expected to be sufficiently bactericidal to treat people with subclinical leprosy infection. It is not found to be very effective in close contacts hence an effective additional strategy is screening of contacts of new cases using an immunological screening test and giving those who are tested positive an enhanced prophylaxis with two antibiotics while
the others who are not positive receive a single dose of rifampicin. This intervention strategy is known as PEP++.

This interesting innovative project started in 2017. NLR is implementing PEP++ in the 3 highest leprosy endemic countries (India, Brazil and
Indonesia). In Indonesia, the five-year project will be implemented in two districts of East Java. Our dream is to stop transmission of leprosy with
objectives to achieve early detection and preventive treatment of leprosy-infected people before symptoms appear, to provide and to
disseminate evidence of the effectiveness of the Stop Transmission approach to relevant stakeholders including the Government of Indonesia to adopt the PEP++ approach through a government policy.

Duties and Responsibilities

The PEP++ Project Coordinator is a member of the International PEP++ Core Team and the national PEP++ Task Force. The PEP++ Project Coordinator will oversee the management, coordination and administration of all aspects of
