Background

UN Women, grounded in the vision of equality enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations, works for the elimination of discrimination against women and girls; the empowerment of women; and the achievement of equality between women and men as partners and beneficiaries of development, human rights, humanitarian action and peace and security.  

Grounded on its four strategic priorities, UN Women is committed to empowering women and girls to contribute and have greater influence in building sustainable peace and resilience and benefit equally from the prevention of natural disasters, conflict, and humanitarian action. Globally, including in Indonesia, the impact of conflict, climate change, and natural disasters has disproportionately affected women and girls. Funded by the Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA), UN Women Indonesia developed a three-year programme, “Empowered Women for Sustainable Peace: Addressing the Peace-Humanitarian Nexus to Enhance Community Resilience in Indonesia”, with the full implementation period from 2024 to 2026. The project aims to strengthen community resilience and reduce vulnerabilities in disaster-prone and conflict-affected areas by addressing the humanitarian-development-peace nexus in the context of Indonesia. It will contribute to the goal, that women and girls are able to withstand adverse impacts of conflict and natural hazards and able to contribute to a peaceful and just society. 

As part of the project activities particularly on the commitment to support women, youth, and persons with disability to increase their capacity in leadership, networking, and coordination on humanitarian-development-peace nexus, UN Women support the National Agency for Disaster Management (Badan Nasional Penanggulangan Bencana (BNPB)) to revise the Regulation of the Head of National Agency for Disaster Management (Peraturan Kepala BNPB (PERKA BNPB)) No 14 year 2014 on the Handling, Protection, and Participation of Persons with Disability on Disaster Management. PERKA BNPB No 14-year 2014 serves as the guideline on handling, protection, and participation of persons with disability in Disaster Management, covering pre-disaster, emergency response, and post-disaster. This PERKA No 14-year 2014 instructed BNPB and Sub-National Disaster Management Agency (Badan Nasional Penanggulangan Bencana Daerah (BPBD)) to develop a unit for disability services to identify, collect, analyses, document, update, and distribute data and information on persons with disability (article 5). In specific to the cycles of disaster management: pre-disaster, emergency response, and post-disaster, the PERKA regulates (a) in the context of pre-disaster, the PERKA regulates an early warning system and preparedness plans to reach out to the persons with disability (article 11) (b) during emergency response, the fulfillment of basic needs should meet the need of the person with disability i.e. food, shelter, clothing, psychosocial, education, (article 12 – 19) (c) in the post-disaster, rehabilitation and reconstruction should be oriented toward the disaster risk reduction and fulfillment of the needs of the person with a disability (article 20). Considering the need to update and strengthen the PERKA No 14-year 2014, BNPB through the leadership of the Planning Bureau as the Gender Focal Point in BNPB aims to revise the PERKA to accelerate the work on the handling, protection, and inclusive participation of persons with disability on disaster management and social conflict prevention that are responsive to gender. For this, the revision to PERKA will be aligned with the PERKA No 13-year 2014 on the Gender Mainstreaming on DRR.  

UN Women seeks a national consultant to support the preparation of the revision of the PERKA No 14-year 2014. The consultant will work closely with the BNPB on three scopes of work:
