Oxfam – Calling Consultant for Research in Indonesia Climate and Disaster
Resilient Communities Project
Background
Indonesia’s unique geography of 17,000 islands, over 800,000 kilometres of
coast and its location on the Pacific Ring of Fire with 129 active
volcanos, makes the country highly vulnerable to sea-level rise,
weather-related disasters, earthquakes and volcanic eruption. As a result,
65% or 148.4 million people in Indonesia are directly exposed to a range
of disaster hazards and people with the least access and control over
resources, who live in the riskiest places - women, children and people
living with disability - tend to be vulnerable to shocks and uncertain
conditions including food price increases, environmental hazards and ill
health.
The Indonesia Climate and Disaster Resilient Communities (ICDRC) Project
(2005-22) supports vulnerable rural and urban communities, especially
women, in Indonesia by increasing Climate Resilient Sustainable
Agriculture and Livelihoods (CRSA/L), preparedness response and adaptive
capacity to disasters, and enabling inclusive DRM systems. The project
will work in twelve districts within seven provinces in East Tenggara
(NTT), West Nusa Tenggara (NTB), East Java, West Sumatra, North Sumatra,
Yogyakarta, and Jakarta. Commencing in 2005 and redesigned in 2018, the
project will now be implemented through until June 2022. By 2022 the
project will increase CRSL, improve community-based Climate-Smart Disaster
Risk Management (CSDRM), and enable resilient and inclusive DRM systems.
The project will collaborate with NGO partners, community members,
government and private sector actors to address these issues. The project
will have a particular focus on working with women, youth, and people with
disabilities who are vulnerable to disasters.
In 2018-19 the project will improve the productivity and incomes of YFF in
CRSL through increasing their understanding of disaster and climate change
risks and the development of their own micro, small and medium enterprises
(MSMEs). The project will also work at a policy level to support
government and private sector frameworks and regulations that increase
YFF’s access to land and the development of markets for CRSL. The project
will use comprehensive CSDRM approaches with communities, civil society
and government across all project locations to build climate and disaster
resilience. Finally, the project will support Oxfam partners to influence
national government and decision-makers’ systems and practices so that
they are resilient, inclusive, and respond to the needs and priorities of
vulnerable communities.
The project re-design between February to May 2018 utilised a
participatory process which included staff from Oxfam in Indonesia, Oxfam
Australia, and key local partners and relevant sub-national and national
stakeholders, including disabled people’s organisations. The design
workshop held in Jakarta in February 2018 supported Oxfam staff and
partners to utilise Oxfam International’s Framework for Resilient
Development to develop a climate and disaster resilient project. The
re-design process was also based on experience and lessons learned,
including from the Rights in Crisis Mid-term Review (2017) and partner
reflection workshop.
The project demonstrates value for money through strong alignment to the
Government of Indonesia’s existing policies, programs and strategies as
well as leveraging existing structures and investments in DRM. The
Humanitarian Knowledge Hub (HKH), an Oxfam initiative focusing on improved
coordination and linkages between humanitarian partners on resource
mobilisation and capacity development, is an example of utilising and
leveraging resources for DRM efforts through a shared and coordinated
platform among humanitarian partners. Oxfam in Indonesia will play an
important role providing technical support to facilitate the coordination
process in HKH.

shared within the broader ANCP Resilience Program to continue the learning
cycle and to improve the quality of resilient development programming into
the future.
Project Goal and Outcomes
The goal of the project is that by 2022, targeted vulnerable rural and
urban communities in selected locations in Indonesia, with a focus on
women and people with disability, realise their rights and improve their
well-being despite shocks, stresses and uncertainty. The total expected
direct beneficiaries for 2018-19 will be 13,450 in which 7,225 are women.
Outcome 1: Vulnerable rural and urban households have CRSA/L. The project
will continue working with local government, private sector actors and
small scale farmers to increase CRSL through various drought agriculture
production innovations in dry land areas of NTT province. 40 YFFs in six
groups will be key change agents in promoting adaptive agriculture to
reduce food insecurity, generating incomes and building resilient
communities.
Outcome 2: 100 vulnerable rural and urban households are able to prepare
for, respond and adapt to a range of hazards and shocks. Current efforts
to manage disaster risks at community level will be scaled-up to cope with
climate change impacts. The project will use comprehensive CSDRM
approaches with communities, civil society and government across all
project locations to build climate and disaster resilience. This will be
achieved by increasing vulnerable communities’ understanding of both
climate change and disaster risks, and supporting their knowledge, skills
and capacities in CSDRM, which will be then integrated into existing and
new strategies, plans and actions for local CSDRM. The approach of
adapting to climate change and variability ensures DRM investments are
durable and value for money.
Outcome 3: DRM systems and practices are resilient and inclusive of, and
respond to, the needs and priorities of vulnerable communities,
particularly women and people with disability; achieved by supporting the
implementation of government DRM policy at local and community levels, and
working with partners to increase the capacity of 30 DRM Knowledge Hub
members in CSDRM.
