About this country

With 17,000 islands and over 80,000 kilometers of coast, Indonesia is vulnerable to sea-level rise and myriad natural disasters. Floods are the most the common hazard, but the unpredictability and wide-spread devastation caused by earthquakes, tsunamis and volcanic eruptions make geological disasters much more threatening. The World Bank has estimated that 40 percent of the country’s population, or around 90 million people, are vulnerable to disasters.
The national government has created a de-centralized structure to prepare and respond to disasters and climate change. However, these structures are often lacking and funding is frequently diverted from preparation and mitigation to emergency response.
Despite the national government’s allocation of one percent of its budget to disaster and climate change mitigation and a number of active donor agencies and INGOs, local NGOs find it difficult to access funding, and many lack the organizational capability necessary to mitigate disasters. Partly, this is because it is government policy to direct aid agency and INGO funding to strengthening government preparation and response at all levels, rather than directing it to civil society.

Learning Themes

The Community of Practice in Indonesia is focusing on the following learning themes: deepening of understanding in community resilience; tips and techniques for impactful fundraising; and nurturing and facilitating innovations development in disaster risk reduction management.
