Since its inception, the IFRC
Southeast Asia Regional Delegation has been working with the SEA National
Societies to strengthen their capacities for effective disaster response and
development programming, along with raising their profile in their national
context.
In November 2013, the IFRC
launched the “Building Regional Capacity and Collaboration for Community
Resilience in Southeast Asia” (C3R) project, which is 3,5-year initiative
funded by the Canadian Government and the Canadian Red Cross. This project is
supporting the 11 National Societies of the region with the overarching goal of
reducing the impact of natural disasters on vulnerable communities in SEA.
The project will strengthen the
capacity of the SEA National Societies and regional structures to represent and
communicate the needs of vulnerable groups, particularly women, boys and girls.
A concerted effort will be made to target national authorities including
positioning and increased visibility of National Societies vis-à-vis their
governments. The National Societies, supported by the IFRC SEA Regional
Delegation (SEARD) will work with national governments and regional
organizations to advocate for disaster risk reduction (DRR) laws and policies
that incorporate and consider issues related to vulnerable communities, gender
equality, and the environment. The project will build cooperation among the SEA
National Societies and regional DRR mechanisms, such as those of the
Association of SEA Nations (ASEAN), to improve DRR at the regional level.
This terms of reference relates
to the Work
Package 1210 of the project, which builds regional
collaborations among National Societies and produces evidenced-based reports to
strengthen their regional engagements, which will ultimately increase the
credibility and reputation of National Societies furthering their integration
into regional decision-making bodies, where they can further represent and
advance the concerns of vulnerable communities.
Regionally, the Association of Southeast
Asian Nations (ASEAN) Secretariat is the key driver of DRR[1]
and regional approaches to environment and climate change adaptation (CCA).[2] The ASEAN Socio-Cultural Community is responsible for building
disaster-resilient nations and safer communities within the region under the
ASEAN Committee on Disaster Management (ACDM) sub-committee and comprised of
national-level Disaster Management Agencies. The ASEAN Agreement on Disaster
Management and Emergency Response (AADMER), adopted in 2005, and
the AADMER Work Programme 2010-2015 represents
ASEANS commitment to HFA (as recently reported in the 2013 ASEAN HFA review
report).
PMI’s mandate in disaster risk
reduction is to assist and cooperate with the government, particularly in the
humanitarian assistance aspect to vulnerable people. Additional to the main
task of providing emergency assistance in times of disaster, as much as
possible PMI also carries out Red Cross tasks before and after disaster
occurs.
In carrying out its mandate, PMI
has two main advantages: first, PMI has been acknowledged by the Government of
Indonesia and other policy makers to have the duty and responsibility of
assisting, advising and advocating on disaster management, as an implementation
of its auxiliary role to the government. PMI was established by the government
and is recognized as the only Red Cross organization in Indonesia, based on the
Presidential Decree number 25 of 1950 and Presidential Decree number 246 of
1963. By upholding the Red Cross principle of independence, PMI provides
support to the government in forming a national platform involving
representation of national and local level in supporting disaster risk
reduction and decentralize responsibilities and resources. Second, PMI has a
network of grassroots volunteers originating from the community and living with
the community. The mobilization of volunteer power supports an important
contribution to gather community’s input in the decision making process which
would affect the disaster risk reduction programmes in the community.
In the Disaster Management Law
number 24 of 2007, PMI’s position in disaster management is not explicitly
stated. In practice, this does not change PMI’s participation in carrying out
disaster management activities in coordination with the government and other
institutions. Taking into account this condition, a memorandum of understanding
was signed on 23 March 2009 between PMI and BNPB which stipulates both parties’
agreement to establish a partnership in carrying out disaster management
activities before, during and after disaster occurrences, in accordance with
each party’s roles. Through this MOU, PMI also committed to assist BNPB in the
implementation and achievements of national, regional and international policy
objectives on disaster risk reduction.
PMI has been actively involved in
various disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptation forum at the
national and local level such as National Council for Climate Change (Dewan
Nasional Perubahan Iklim/DNPI), National Platform for Disaster Risk Reduction
(Platform National Pengurangan Risiko Bencana/Planas), PRB, CDE, etc. as
member, resource person and participant.
Under the coordination of the
national development planning agency (Badan Perencanaan Pembangunan
Nasional/Bappenas), PMI has been actively involved in a working group to
formulate the national action plan of disaster risk reduction (NAP DRR) for
2004-2009 and 2010-2012 in achieving 5 HFA 2005 – 2015 priorities. To
effectively achieve the HFA objectives, PMI has developed a close partnership
with government ministries and institutions such as the ministry of health,
ministry of national education, ministry of environmental affairs, BNPB, etc. PMI
was also involved as facilitator during the mid-term review of Indonesian
achievement toward Hyogo Framework for Action in 2011 and 2013.
The consultancy will represent
the first step towards supporting SEA National Societies to utilize existing
cooperation mechanisms and tools to build greater collective responsibility and
trust, nationally and regionally. Through the review and mapping of the PMI initiatives
in DRR as well as the identification of existing partnerships and coordination
mechanisms, it will bring evidence about the concrete contribution of the PMI to
both national and regional DRR priorities.
That is why the IFRC is seeking
the services of a national consultant to undertake this documentation. It is
expected that the consultant will bring excellent analytical and writing skills
as well as a strong experience in DRR, institutional planning and reporting.
Consultancy expected outcomes
PMI existing cooperation mechanisms,
activities and tools in the field of DRR in Indonesia are identified, compiled,
analysed and documented in order to promote its role and overall contribution to
the HFA and AADMER work plan 2010-2015, thus raising PMI profile in the country
and in the region.
This consultancy will then contribute to the higher
project’s objective which is to increase the DRR cooperation between the RCRC
Movement in Southeast Asia and regional organizations, among which the ASEAN
Committee on Disaster Management.
Finally, it is to be
noted that similar documentation is being conducted in 6-7 countries throughout
Southeast Asia and a regional report integrating all the national-level
documents will be launched in early 2015 to support advocacy and partnerships
enhancement with regional stakeholders.
Consultancy outputs
1/ Produce a technical
report depicting the concrete contributions of PMI to the HFA implementation
from 2005 to 2014.
2/ Produce a
technical report depicting the concrete contributions of PMI to the ASEAN AADMER
programme implementation from 2010 to 2014.
3/ For each of the
two reports, produce a one-page executive report presenting the key figures and
messages of the report.
Format for both
reports[7] will be provided by
the IFRC and will be linked to the HFA as well as the AADMER Work Programme
2010-2015[8]), including gender
and environment components.
All outputs listed
above should be produced both in local language and in English.
