YEP

The main goal of the Young Expert Programmes (YEP), consisting of YEP Water & YEP Agrofood, is to offer young Dutch and local professionals the opportunity to take their first steps in an international environment. They are employed through Dutch organisations in a number of eligible countries. The programmes aim to rejuvenate the Water & Agrofood sectors and ensure the continued availability of expertise for these sectors.

The YEP Programmes are carried out jointly by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Netherlands Water Partnership (NWP) and the Food & Business Knowledge Platform.

YEP Role

I was part of the Deltares Indonesia team and worked as a Young Expert in operational water management. My responsibilities were developing mobile, web or desktop application using several programming languages like Java, Python, JavaScript, etc. I also contributed to give training some applications and programs to local people and clients, most are real time information applications and early warning systems about flood and water sector. Being part of operational water management was exciting, we should be aware when flood is coming, be ready to get dirty and dealing with people who are stakeholders in flood disasters.
