Title of the
Services Required:
Facilitate a partnership
workshop with the key stakeholders of CDRM&CDS to determine the most
suitable partnership structure and service delivery method for managing
disaster risk and building strong communities in Sumatra.
1. Background and Rationale
CDRM&CDS is mandated to support and facilitate humanitarian and
development works in service to vulnerable people of North and West Sumatra,
with a focus on building the capacity of church Diaconia in the area of
disaster risk management, response and integrated community development more
generally.
CDRM&CDS was founded in 2007 through an MoU signed by 12 member
churches represented by the Lutheran World Federation National Committee in Indonesia
(LWF-NCI), the Lutheran World Federation’s Department for Mission and
Development (DMD), Department for World Service (DWS) and three resource
partners – the Evangelical Lutheran Church America (ELCA), Australian Lutheran
World Service (ALWS) and Lutheran World Relief (LWR). CDRM&CDS was auspiced by Universitas HKBP
Nommensen.
Since then, with the support of donor partners ELCA, ALWS and LWR (LWR financial
support ceased in 2011), CDRM&CDS developed a six year country strategy
2008-2014 and associated project documents for 2009-2011 and 2012-2014. Implementation has been carried out in Nias,
Mentawai, Pakpak and Simalingkar hosted respectively by AMIN and BNKP in Nias,
GKPM in Mentawai and GKPPD in Pakpak. LWF/DWS has provided management support
since 2009. CDRM&CDS is now an Associate Program of LWF/DWS and ACT
Alliance.
CDRM&CDS has been implementing field programs in 13 villages in
Nias, 9 villages in Mentawai, 5 villages in Pakpak and 2 villages in
Simalingkar to develop capacity of local institutions in disaster risk
reduction as well as developing capacity of Diaconal department of 12 Lutheran
Churches of Indonesia. It has a Governing Body of nine members from different
Lutheran Churches headed by the Nommensen University Rector. The director of
CDRM&CDS is responsible for day to day management decisions, with higher
level program, budget and policy matters decided by the Governing Body. An annual
partners’ meeting involving all Lutheran Church leaders from Indonesia,
National Committee and external partners is held each year to oversee annual
progress and plans for the following year.
The 2013 partners’ meeting in November resolved to review the
partnership between key stakeholders and to determine a way forward for the
partnership.
