The Ministry of Home Affairs: KENCANA Enhances Disaster Management in the Region

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.

Strengthened Collaboration Among the Ministry of Home Affairs, Bappenas, and BNPB to Enhance Disaster Mitigation Efforts in Eastern Indonesia

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: Strengthening the Role of Women and Persons with Disabilities in Disaster Risk Reduction

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.
