ECB Indonesia Consortium - Final Evaluation Consultant
Background
The Emergency Capacity Building (ECB) Project is global initiative
implemented jointly by six international humanitarian organizations (CARE
International, Catholic Relief Services, Mercy Corps, Oxfam GB, Save the
Children, and World Vision International). ECB seeks to improve the speed,
quality, and effectiveness of the humanitarian community’s emergency
preparedness and response by building capacity at the field, organizational,
and humanitarian sector levels for staff development, accountability, and
disaster risk reduction. The global ECB project management has selected four
countries (including Indonesia) and one region to implement the ECB Phase II
field level project activities.
In Indonesia, the ECB consortium consists of CARE International,
Catholic Relief Services, Mercy Corps, Oxfam GB, Save the Children,
International Medical Corps and World Vision Indonesia, with CRS as the lead
agency. The Indonesia consortium also includes national partner Masyarakat
Penanggulangan Bencana Indonesia (MPBI) or Indonesian Society for Disaster
Management.
The ECB Phase II started in 2008 and shall officially end on August 14,
2013. However, the ECB global team has
informed the consortium that all ECB project activities at consortium level
shall be completed by the end of June 2013. During the project period, ECB Indonesia consortium has accomplished the
project’ key activities, including the development of the Joint Need Assessment (JNA) tools and
methodology, development of the Consortium Disaster Response Engagement Protocol
(DREP) – a guide for the ECB Indonesia consortium members for joint emergency
response. Under the DRR objective, the
project has compiled and globally published Toward Resilience: A Guide to
Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) and Climate Change Adaptation (CCA), a very
useful and handy book for humanitarian program practitioners to strengthen
understanding of the basic approaches and principles on DRR and CCA
initiatives. This guide has also been shared with ECB project stakeholders in
Indonesia and translated into Bahasa Indonesia for easier use by local
government, national NGOs and practitioners. Lastly, under the project
objective of building staff capacity, in 2011 ECB Indonesia consortium has
organized a series of training on Core Skill in Emergency Response, and
Management and Leadership in Emergency Response, supported by the Consortium of
British Humanitarian Agencies and funded by ECHO. Similar series of training
were again conducted in 2012. These trainings have reached out to 72 staffs of
the ECB Indonesia members and their partners’ and staff of other INGOs
operating in Indonesia.
In addition to the various outputs of the project described above, ECB
project in Indonesia has strengthened good practices of collaboration,
coordination and partnership amongst its members in Indonesia, as well as
between ECB consortium and the other stakeholders (government, UN agencies,
national NGOs, etc.), particularly during an emergency response situation.
