The JMM provides an opportunity for key stakeholders from both the Government of Australia and the Government of Indonesia (including members of the Steering Committee) to review and evaluate the implementation and progress of the SIAP SIAGA program at the provincial and district levels.
The Roadmap for Gender Mainstreaming in BNPB is designed with regard to gender-based development priorities and an integral part of the implementation of the gender mainstreaming program, as it will be used as a directive guideline for all elements of BNPB organization.
This year, BNPB aims to highlight that disaster preparedness needs to be built from the smallest units within the community, preparing the community to face threats, determining the size of the risks, and the impacts of disasters that might occur. This will be combined with further emphasis on increasing community awareness that disaster mitigation efforts are a shared responsibility.
Indonesia’s National Agency of Disaster Countermeasure (BNPB), with the support of the Australian Government through SIAP SIAGA program compiled a publication about the local cultures and best practices from the communities living nearby seven of the active volcanoes in Indonesia.
The theme for World Humanitarian Day this year is “It Takes a Village”, recognising that humanitarian action is a collective endeavour involving people from all walks of life. As the UN notes “whenever and wherever people are in need, there are others who help them. They are the affected people themselves – always first to respond when a disaster strikes – and a global community that supports them as they recover”.
BNPB Secretary General Lilik Kurniawan said, “The key findings of this report – Resilience is Local – are in line with the findings and perspectives of my institution and government.” He explained that work to increase and improve disaster management capacity at the national and sub-national levels has been carried out for the last 20 years. Nevertheless, referring to the findings presented in this report, he stated, “We still have much to do.”
