The project in brief
Background Indonesia ranks 12th out of 35 countries that have high mortality risks from multiple hazards. In 2021 alone, a total of 5’402 significant “natural” disasters happened, with an estimated annual death toll of 728 people, 87 missing, 14’915 injured and 7’630’692 displaced (BNPB, 2021). Indonesia is listed on the “DAC List of ODA recipients” under “lower middle income countries which are not LDCs”. The effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Indonesian economy led the government to welcoming international assistance to achieve Indonesia’s resilience target by 2045.
Objectives To strengthen disaster risk management and preparedness capabilities of the Indonesian National Disaster Management Agency (BNPB) at national and sub-national levels as well as raising awareness of local disaster risk and protection issues among the general population in view of achieving a resilient Indonesia by 2045 as per the Indonesian Disaster Management Master Plan (RIPB) 2020-2044.
