The Disaster Resilient Sub-District Program (KENCANA), initiated by the Ministry of Home Affairs, serves as a strategic effort to accelerate the implementation of Minimum Service Standards (MSS) in disaster management at the local level. This initiative empowers sub-districts to tailor disaster response methods to their unique risks and capacities, thereby improving service quality and reducing response times. The Ministry of National Development Planning (Bappenas) highlighted four key priorities to strengthen regional resilience: enhancing the capacity of sub-district heads, optimising budgets, mobilising creative financing, and fostering stronger inter-agency collaboration.

MSS Implementation

Indonesia, as an archipelagic nation situated along the Pacific Ring of Fire, is highly vulnerable to a range of natural disasters, including earthquakes, tsunamis, floods, and forest fires. According to the World Risk Index (WRI) 2024, Indonesia ranks as the second-highest country in the world at risk of natural disasters, following the Philippines. This reality underscores the urgent need for integrated, professional, and inclusive disaster management strategies to safeguard communities while supporting the country’s sustainable development goals.

BNPB and Bappenas emphasised the need to strengthen the role of women and persons with disabilities in disaster risk reduction, recognising that these groups are disproportionately vulnerable during disasters. At the national workshop held in conjunction with International Women’s Day 2025, it was highlighted that women are not merely individuals to be protected but also active agents of change. By adopting gender-sensitive and inclusive approaches, women and marginalised groups are expected to play meaningful roles across all phases of disaster management, from preparedness to post-disaster recovery.

According to Hidayaturrohman, in the effort to form ULD, it is not only the fulfilment of the target that is important. The series of ULD formation processes involving opdis provide many lessons that will be very useful for other programs. "For us at BPBD, the process of forming ULD has brought extraordinary changes. We not only have an understanding of disabilities but also how to position them from being just objects of aid recipients to being part of policymakers. Previously, let alone involving them in planning, we didn't even have data on disability," he said.
