                     Term of Reference

Location       : Samarinda, East Kalimantan
Closing date : 1st of February 2016

BACKGROUND
Planète Urgence, founded in 2000 around the principle of "Solidarity Leave", is a French non-profit organization which encourages companies, local governmental institutions as well as citizens to act in support of projects designed and managed by local actors around the world for the development of southern populations.
 
The E&D program (Environment and Development) of Planète Urgence is implemented in 4 countries ( Mali , Haiti , Madagascar and Indonesia ). It aims at supporting the development of local communities by taking measures for environmental protection and restoration, as well as sustainable economic growth. In Indonesia , Planète Urgence is present in the Mahakam Delta ( East Kalimantan province). With its partner Yayasan Mangrove Lestari (YML), Planète Urgence implements the MADIMAP project (Mahakam Delta Integrated Management Program) which focuses on the rehabilitation and management of mangroves ecosystems as well as on the development of local communities, through sustainable aquaculture and diversification of income-generating activities for the villages (in 3 villages of the delta).
 
The Solidarity Leave program is a volunteerism-based program. It aims to support and empower local communities and promote environmental protection by sharing know-how, training and technical support in 22 countries. Delivered in the frame of adult training, educational support for children and capacity building for scientific teams working to understand and protect biodiversity, the partners of Planète Urgence are collaborating to offer skilled individuals the opportunity to get involved following a request by a local organization as part of a short-term placement (2-4 weeks).
