Antecedentes

The project “Safer Communities through Disaster Risk Reduction in Development” (SC-DRR) Phase II is designed to make disaster risk reduction 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 Indonesia leading to sustainable development and poverty reduction in Indonesia - one of the most disaster prone countries in the world. The project aims to achieve three main outputs: (a) National and local governments enabling policy and regulatory framework for disaster risk reduction (DRR) in target areas are designed and implemented; (b) Disaster management (DM) agencies in target areas are effectively functioning and utilize risk assessment for DRR initiatives in partnership with multi-stakeholder DRR fora; and (c) DRR principles and techniques to minimize disaster risk are adopted and applied by communities.

The National Agency for Disaster Management (Badan Nasional Penganggulangan Bencana – BNPB) is the Implementing Partner of this project. Strategic partnerships are maintained and strengthened with Bappenas and Ministry of Home Affairs and other relevant GOI ministries, as well as with public and private partners at international, national and local levels.

There are 3 (three) sub-projects under the umbrella of SC-DRR Phase II, namely; (1) Enhancing Policy and Planning for DRR (EP-DRR), which is aimed to achieve two main outputs, (a) Policy guidance developed to support better integration of disaster risk reduction in planning and budgeting and (b) BNPB is strengthened in planning and coordinating DRR; (2) Initiating Climate-induced Disaster Risk Management (IC-DRM) that is intended to support the government of Indonesia to start working and addressing climate risk management into their existing disaster risk reduction initiatives; and (3) The Urban Climate Risk Management (UCLIM) Project, which is aimed to improve capacity of local government especially the cities government in conducting climate risk assessment and improving urban planning and management with climate and disaster risks reduction considerations.

EP-DRR is funded by the DFAT and is now at the finalization stage. EP-DRR is responding to imminent needs for DRR enabling policy, such as the next National Mid-term Development Plan and the National Disaster Management Plan. EP-DRR also intends to influence current practices in critical development sectors such as Spatial planning which is a critical area to promote the adoption of disaster risk reduction as a means to induce transformative change. EP-DRR is working with the National Spatial Planning Coordinating Board to provide recommendations on how to improve the existing guideline for provincial spatial planning.

In parallel, EP-DRR is encouraging the improvement of investments for risk reduction through the provision of technical and financial support to the Ministry of Home Affairs (Kemendagri) to draft a national guideline on subnational DRR planning and budgeting. EP-DRR also working with Bappenas setting up indicators and criteria to track annual work plans and budget allocations of relevant line ministries for disaster risk reduction. SC-DRR has conducted a baseline study and currently it is at the finalisation stage.

The UCLIM and IC-DRM funded by UNDP RBAP and BCPR respectively are just commenced at national level and at some project locations. IC-DRM contributes to strengthening policy framework and institutional capacities for risk management, with a focus on integrating DRR and climate change adaptation (CCA). It is addressing a number of existing challenge and gaps in term of DRR and CCA integration in Indonesia. The UCLIM sub-project will be achieved through provision of technical assistance to develop vulnerability assessment guideline and indicators, to conduct climate analysis and vulnerability assessment; training to build local capacity on conducting vulnerability assessment and public consultation; and policy dialogue on DRR and CCA.
