Behaviour Change Communication Technical Assistant

Banyuwangi Hijau is a program initiated by the Banyuwangi Government to realize a clean city through a comprehensive waste management system. The program is coordinated by the Environmental Office (DLH) of Banyuwangi Government, supported by a cross-sectoral working group. It focuses on four key intervention components: governance, waste system, behavior change & communication (BCC), and innovative financing.

The BCC component is designed to foster sustainable community demand for waste management services through an integrated behavior change campaign. This campaign employs multiple communication approaches, including advocacy, community mobilization, public campaigns, and interpersonal communication.

In particular, interpersonal communication will be implemented through several methods, such as triggering activities, door-to-door outreach, religious community gatherings, and other community meetings. These approaches aim to promote and reinforce proper waste management practices at both household and community levels.

To support the implementation and monitoring of this approach during Phase 3, the BCC team will recruit an additional Technical Assistant. This role will provide support for the strategic approach and field-level implementation, particularly for roll-out activities, achieving participation targets, and maintaining community participation following service roll-out.
