Brief Overview of our Programme

The IR programme in Indonesia was first established in 2003 with a
focus on integrated development in Banten Province.
In the aftermath of the devastating Tsunami, IR initiated a
large-scale humanitarian relief and recovery programme which continues to
remain in operation albeit now with a growing focus on sustainable development.
It was about the same time that IR also extended its developmental activities
to other parts of the greater Java island including Sukabumi in West Java and
East and West Lombok in NTB Province. Later in October 2009, IR expanded its
geographic coverage to provide emergency relief, livelihoods recovery and DRR
related support to earthquake victims in West Sumatra. The agency is presently
implementing multi-sectoral emergency relief, recovery and development
interventions in Aceh Darussalam and West Sumatra with the intention to
re-establish programme activities in NTB (Lombok) and West Java.
The main sectors of
interventions in Indonesia are health, disaster preparedness, education,
