Background
“UNDP partners with people at all levels of
society to help build nations that can withstand crisis, and drive and
sustain the kind of growth that improves the quality of life for
everyone. On the ground in 177 countries and territories, UNDP offers
global perspective and local insight to help empower lives and build
resilient nations.” UNDP Indonesia's mission is to be an agent for
change in the human and social development of Indonesia. We aim to be a
bridge between Indonesia and all donors as well as a trusted partner to
all stakeholders. We work in four key areas of development: Governance
Reforms, Pro-Poor Policy Reforms, Conflict Prevention and Recovery, and
Environment Management, with the overarching aim of reducing poverty in
Indonesia. Besides the four priority areas, UNDP Indonesia is also
engaged in a variety of crosscutting initiatives focused on HIV/AIDS,
gender equality, and information and technology for development.”
The Safer Communities through Disaster Risk Reduction in Development
(SC-DRR) had been implemented since 2007 intended to support the
government Indonesia in enhancing the disaster management reform agenda
specifically decentralized and inclusive partnership on disaster risk
reduction initiatives. Results and changes has been notable in
establishing the enabling framework and planning instruments at
sub-national level, improving and enhancing institutional capacities of
DM agencies and multi-stakeholder fora and better prepared communities.
Phase II of the Safer Communities through Disaster Risk Reduction in
Develop¬ment (SC-DRR) Project will scale up initiatives delivered by
Phase I of the Project (2007-mid 2012).  Its main goal is to make
disaster risk reduction a normal part of the development process, one
that is embedded in core functions of the central and local government
and its public and private partners.  Particular emphasis is placed on
local communities, where the most direct actions can be taken to reduce
people’s vulnerability to the adverse impacts of disasters.
The
project aims to achieve three main outputs:  (1) National and local
governments enabling policy and regulatory framework for disaster risk
reduction (DRR) in target areas are designed and implemented; (2)
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 (3) 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 will be maintained and strengthened with other relevant GOI ministries and agencies, as well as with public and
private partners at international, national and local levels
