Views from the frontline - Country report: Indonesia
Pandangan dari garis depan (Views from the frontline), Hyogo Framework of Action review at local perspectives:
This review is included in the project 'Views from the Frontline' as a follow up initiative of the Hyogo Framework for Action (HFA). It presents a review of the HFA implementation in several regions of Indonesia: Aceh, Nias, Central Java, East Java and Yogyakarta, the Moluccas, and Ambon. It discusses the progress of disaster risk reduction (DRR) initiatives in Indonesia; the roles of the government, Non-Government Organizations and Community Based Organisations in the implementation of DRR; the method of mainstreaming disaster risk reduction programs to access government and private sector’s budget (through corporate social responsibility); and the lessons learned from DRR programs in each region.
The review has been conducted by the YAKKUM Emergency Unit, as the National Coordinating Organization for Indonesia, through a survey with three groups of respondents: local Government officials, Civil Society Organizations and Community Representatives. The overall findings of this research are aimed to be used as an alternative to enrich the review of HFA in the United Nations Global Platform for Disaster Risk Reduction that was held in June 2009.
