The American Red Cross seeks dynamic individuals to fill the : CBFA & ICBRR Joint Baseline Consultant
(Aceh - Banda Aceh) Requirements:
BACKGROUND
After
the devastating tsunami 26 December 2004, the Indonesia Red
Cross/Palang Merah Indonesia (PMI) played a significant role in
emergency response and recovery for the survivors. PMI has expressed
its interest to implement a Community Based program in the affected and
high risk/vulnerable areas, while ARC is also keen to extend
cooperation and support for the purpose. The program will be
implemented in line with the PMI Health and Disaster Management (DM)
policy and strategy, based on the experience and lessons learned from
similar programs in other parts of Indonesia and on close cooperation
between PMI, the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent
Societies (Federation), and concerned Partner National Societies (PNSs).
CBFA
The
American Red Cross, in partnership with the Indonesia Red Cross (PMI),
is implementing the Community-Based First Aid in Action (CBFA) approach
in the Indonesian Tsunami affected Aceh Province aimed at empowering
people with the ability to respond to daily emergencies where health
professionals are absent or overworked.Community-based first
aid actions contributes to achieving all the four goals of the
International Federation’s Global Agenda that is aimed at providing a
framework of integrated approach in building safer and healthier
communities. CBFA not only brings first aid to the community
about common injuries but also effectively addresses community health
priorities through prevention, health promotion and control of common
diseases in preparing and responding to disasters. It also helps the
recruitment and retention of effective volunteers who are close to that
particular community.
The objectives of the CBFA program in Indonesia are: 1.
To enhance PMI capacity to pilot the global “CBFA in Action” approach
in addition to deliver CBFA programs with a harmonized national
approach that includes a package of minimum standards in line with the
new Federation CBFA guidelines2. To enhance the capacity of PMI Aceh chapter and target branches to respond to community health needs through CBFA programming3. To improve the knowledge and behaviors of health and disease prevention of targeted communities/villagesThe
project has a 1-year pilot phase in 20 villages and a 2-year
implementation phase in 120 villages in the four targeted districts
namely: Banda Aceh, Bireuen, Aceh Jaya and Sabang. The pilot phase of
the project started in November 2007.
ICBRR
The
American Red Cross, in partnership with the Indonesia Red Cross (PMI)
is implementing the Integrated Community Based Risk Reduction (ICBRR)
Program in 4 districts of Aceh province: Banda Aceh, Aceh Besar, Aceh
Jaya, and Sabang, with a view to cover at least 126 villages. PMI will
be the key implementer and the Program will be implemented during the
period from July 2006 to June 2010. The Federation, together with other
PNSs, will support the rest of the areas using the same approach and
methodology. In all areas, PMI will be the key ICBRR implementer.
A
concept paper on the ICBRR Program was approved by the Movement Task
Force in 2005. Following the concept paper, the project proposal (PP)
was developed through secondary data, analysis field assessment
(through risk mapping, VCA, SWOT analysis), interaction with government
organizations (GOs), and other organizations, PMI national headquarters
(NHQ), chapter NAD & branches, social leaders, teachers, elite
classes, other PNSs, and PMI’s Log frame Matrix and Five-Year Plan of
Action (PoA). During the interaction it was revealed that in the event
of the 2004 tsunami, there was a lack of awareness, structural
facilities, and pre-defined places of safe refuge. There was also a
lack of mechanisms to disseminate the warning signal to the vulnerable
communities. It was difficult for communities, local governments, and
other organizations to cope and manage the post-disaster situation.
The
program will help to identify and map the risks, hazards, and
vulnerabilities, as well as the underlying capacities within the
community in order to reduce and mitigate the impact of any future
disaster.
The objectives of the ICBRR program in Indonesia are: Objective 1: Build disaster preparedness and response capacity of targeted villages Objective 2: Develop Disaster Management capacity of targeted schools through conducting DP and DR trainings for students.Objective 3: Enhance disaster management capacity of PMI at the national, provincial, and district/sub-district levels. The
American Red Cross Indonesia Delegation is seeking the services of an
independent consultant or a team of consultants to establish a joint
baseline that the project will use to measure its performance. The
baseline will be conducted in extended villages; 120 villages of CBFA
programs in the four districts and 48 villages of ICBRR programs in the
three districts, excluding Aceh Besar.
Areas of inquiry
will be guided by the goals and objectives of the Indonesia CBFA/ICBRR
as mentioned above and by the associated indicators delineated in the
project log frame.
