URGENTLY REQUIRED
Islamic Relief Indonesia seeks a self-motivated, serious and career
oriented professional who is eager to grow with the organization and sensitive
to the humanitarian cause and core values of Islamic Relief.
ISLAMIC RELIEF’s PURPOSE:
To promote sustainable economic and social
development through development programmes, helping the needy regardless of
race, religion or gender.
Brief Overview of our Programme in Indonesia
Islamic Relief Worldwide was established in 1984
in Birmingham in the aftermath of devastating famine in Eretria and Ethiopia
that claimed over half a million lives. Since then the programme has expanded
to 31 field countries and 11 fundraising partners. The Indonesia programme was
formally established in 2003 in Banten. Later in 2004, the programme was
extended to Ache province in response to the devastating Tsunami. Presently IR
is implementing Emergency Preparedness, Early Recovery and Developmental
activities in Aceh, Nusa Tengarra Barat and West Sumatra Provinces under the
direct oversight of the Jakarta based Country Office.
Role of Religious Places in Disaster
Situations
In the immediate aftermath of a disaster, religious places
(church, mosques, temples etc) are often the first to provide humanitarian
relief services to disaster victims and in many cases a temporary shelter to
the displaced. However, after the initial emergency phase is over, they revert
back to their core activities. Although significant, their involvement in
humanitarian response is often overlooked. Over the years, religious places in
disaster prone areas have developed considerable capacities in emergency
response providing opportunities for their integration within the broader DRR
network. To tap this potential, Islamic Relief successfully piloted the
approach in West Sumatra in 2013 where a network of 6 religious places (5
mosques and 1 church) and 150 disaster management personnel was established and
provided training and necessary support to conduct emergency response and
preparedness activities. Following the successful implementation of the pilot
phase and building on the lessons learned, Islamic Relief is now implementing
an extended intervention to consolidate past gains in West Sumatra while
replicating the tested approach in West Lombok (NTB) – an area under constant
threat of Tsunamis, Earthquake and Climate-Variability.. Islamic Relief seeks
applications from competent DRR professionals for the delivery of planned
activities.
