Save
the Children in Indonesia has made significant progress at the national
policy level and in the Bandung, West Java metropolitan
area in facilitating family-based care for neglected and vulnerable
children. We have been working with the Government of Indonesia (GoI)
at the national level to pass legislation regulating institutional care
and to shift the paradigm from institutional
care to family-based care. Our familiarity with the social welfare
system at the national and local level helped us identify significant
unmet needs for Indonesian children with disabilities (CWD). As we
explored this issue, it became apparent that some advantageous
policies are in place, but services simply do not reach children and
families, and CWD do not attain their rights.
The
‘Facilitating Family-based Care for Indonesian Children with
Disabilities’ IKEA project will mobilize communities, government
stakeholders, and others to assist Indonesian children with
disabilities attaining their right ‘to enjoy a full and decent life, in
conditions which ensure dignity, promote self-reliance and facilitate
the child’s active participation in the community’. Save
the Children will accomplish this 1) by increasing the capacity of
families to care for their children with disabilities (CWD); 2)
supporting community-based rehabilitation services; 3) improving access
to high quality education; and 4) promoting awareness
of CWD issues and reducing stigma.
This
project will be mobilizing existing service delivery structures
including community members and the Ministries of Social Affairs (MOSA)
and Education (MONE); Family Forum groups; and other stakeholders to
build the capacity of families and local volunteers to care for CWD in
their households and communities. This will include linking CWD and
their families to services, managing each individual
case, and supporting the kader (community health volunteer)
system and GoI supported rehabilitation services. We will work with
MONE to improve access to school for CWD, and the quality of educational
services in 30 special and inclusive schools.
We will also facilitate child participation in designing and
implementing activities aimed at reducing stigma for CWD. We will
meticulously monitor all activities, and document and disseminate good
practices at the end of the project.
