ECB World Vision Adventures in Partnering Case Study C: Local Response Protocols in Bangladesh and Indonesia
Quick facts: Indonesia, the world’s largest archipelago, includes 6,000 inhabited islands. Indonesia ranks as one of the most disaster-vulnerable countries in the world, and islands are frequently hit with earthquakes, floods, tsunamis, droughts, and landslides. Indonesia is often affected by shifting tectonic plates, and the country has over 100 active volcanoes.

Through the 2007 Disaster Management Law, the Indonesian government mandated the implementation of Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) activities. The Indonesia Consortium will focus on DRR as well as integrating the CBHA program and accountability activities into their Consortium Engagement Plan (CEP).
Opportunities to share some of their learning include the Symposium on Disaster Impact & Assessment in Asia. Sean Granville Ross (Mercy Corps) and Maharani Harjoko (Save the Children) presented two papers on behalf of the Indonesia consortium on August 25, 2010 in Vietnam. The first presentation highlighted ECB's perspectives on how Practical experience of how knowledge, learning and experience can be used to improve humanitarian response. The second presentation shared insights from The ECB Project Development of the Joint Needs Assessment tool.
In April 2011, the ECB Indonesia consortium finalized the Disaster Response Engagement Protocols, which define how the consortium responds to emergencies. Read about this and other stories on our News page.
Joint Needs Assessment
Phase I of the ECB project fostered strong coordination between Indonesia's members. A Joint Needs Assessment (JNA) tool was collaboratively designed to improve information exchange among Consortium members in the first 72 hours following a disaster. This tool has now been successfully applied during recent emergencies, and UNOCHA currently recommends that the tool be used as a model for the development of an Integrated Needs Assessment tool for Indonesia.
The JNA project is ongoing within the ECB Indonesia consortium - teams are currently working on reviewing the JNA template and developing the JNA data entry platform. The template was also tested for the first time in Bolivia in February-March 2010.
The West Sumatra Joint Evaluation report is available with key lessons learnt and recommendations from the evaluation team.
