Islamic
Relief Worldwide is an International Non-Governmental Organization
(INGO) established in Birmingham, UK in 1984. It seeks to promote
sustainable economic and social development by working with local
communities through relief and development programs. Islamic Relief
Indonesia (IRI) is part of Islamic Relief Worldwide working in Indonesia

for the communities through the implementation of relief and development
projects (including DRR works) in the sectors of WASH, Livelihood and
Food Security, Shelter, Health, and Child Welfare & Protection.

regions out of IRI working areas stated in the MoU. Aceh Earthquake and
Tsunami Emergency Operation in 2005, Jogjakarta Earthquake in 2006,
Padang Earthquake in 2009, Mount Merapi Eruption in 2010, and the recent
Pidie Jaya earthquake emergency operation in late 2016 are some of the
activities where IR Indonesia has tried to support the Indonesian
government in reducing the humanitarian impact caused by natural
disaster.

Indonesia has developed a DRR/CCA project portfolio by developing a
model Religious Places Based DRR in NTB, School Based DRR in Aceh, and
