should fend for themselves. That’s why, over the last three years, we’ve been

government, as well as civil society and community action groups, we’re coordinating
our efforts to ensure the people of Indonesia are better prepared to cope with whatever
nature throws at them. It’s a huge challenge - this is a part of the world
that’s particularly prone to natural disasters. But we’ve already made
tremendous headway. Currently, we are going to implement Building resilience
replication in West Sumatera. And with your help, we’ll bring greater peace of
mind and security to those who live in the region.

To ensure that sustainable disaster risk reduction (DRR) is integrated into all future development in Aceh, the Provincial Government of Aceh is initiating a project called “Making Aceh Safer Through Disaster Risk Reduction in Development” (DRR-A).  The DRR-A is designed to promote efforts for making DRR a normal part of the development process established in core functions of government and its public and private partners at all levels especially local communities where the most effective actions can be taken to reduce the physical, economic and social vulnerability to disasters.  The ultimate aim of this project is to ensure that, over the long-term, development takes place in a way that disaster risks are considered and accounted for so that over time, a culture of safety becomes the norm in Aceh leading to sustainable development. DRR-A has a target budget of USD $10 million for the three and a half year implementation period. 
The NAD Provincial Government will implement the DRR-A project with support from UNDP and oversight of the National Government.  Strategic partnerships will be established with other relevant GOI ministries and agencies and with public and private partners at different levels.  DRR-A will be implemented in alignment with the national programme of “Safer Communities through Disaster Risk Reduction in Development” (SC-DRR).

The third output of this project is to build TDMRC/UNSYIAH’s capacity to deliver the evidence-based DRR information, knowledge services, and technical assistance needed by Aceh local government agencies, the people of Aceh and other DRR proponents as appropriate.  Within this output, one of the key initial activities is to develop and assist TDMRC implement its 3-year strategic institutional development plan.

Reports to: NPC Output 3 of SCDRR Project
Duty Station: Home based
Expected Places of Travel (if applicable): West Sumatera province, Jakarta and other related locations if required.
Duration of Assignment: 4 months
BACKGROUND
 
Indonesian archipelago is geographically located on the meeting point of 4 tectonic plates, which makes it prone to natural disasters. Apart from that, the complexity of demographic, social and economy low capacity of disaster management has increased the disaster risks. In 2005, Indonesia ranked 7th as the most disaster-affected country in the world (ISDR 2006 – 2009, World Disaster Reduction Campaign, UNESCO). Over the last five years, Indonesia has been suffering from significant disasters, namely: (1) earthquake and tsunami in Aceh in December 2004 which claimed 165,701 lives and caused approximately Rp48 trillion in damage; (2) earthquake in Yogyakarta and Central Java in May 2006 which claimed 5,716 lives and around Rp29.1 trillion in damages; (3) tsunami at Pangandaran in July 2006 which claimed 649 lives, destroyed 1,908 houses and nearly Rp138 billion in damage; (4) flood in Jakarta in February 2007 which inundated some 145,742 houses and
caused around Rp967 billion in damage; (5) tsunami in Mentawai (West Sumatra Province) in October 2010 which claimed 509 killed and caused around Rp.117 billion in damage; (6) volcano eruption in Mt. Merapi in October 201 which claimed 347 fatalities and caused 182,446 people being affected.
 
In response to the latest disasters and to the vastness of disaster-prone areas across the Archipelago, the Indonesian Government has prepared several critical initiatives to reduce disaster risks in the Archipelago. In the late 2006, Bappenas launched a book entitled Rencana Aksi Nasional Pengurangan Risiko Bencana (RAN PRB) or National Action Plan of Disaster Risk Reduction as a part of the ongoing National Development Plan. Besides, the Indonesian Government has also allocated budget for disaster prevention and disaster risk reduction programs as set forth in the Development Plan (RKP). Furthermore, in April 2007, the Government issued Law No. 24 of 2007 concerning Disaster Management which became the milestone in the efforts of disaster risk reduction in Indonesia, and was followed by the issuance of related legal act as well as the establishment of National Disaster Management Agency.
