PROGRAM/ DEPARTMENT SUMMARY:
The Indonesia
Response Team (IRT) was created in 2007 in response to the large number of
emergencies in Indonesia .
In the past four years the Indonesia country program through IRT team has
responded to at least nine disasters – the Yogyakarta earthquake in May 2006,
the Jakarta floods in February 2007, West Sumatra Earthquake in March 2007,
West Sumatra/Bengkulu earthquake in 2007, West Sumatera earthquake 2009, West
Java earthquake 2009, Mentawai earthquake & tsunami 2010, Yogyakarta
volcano eruption 2010 and the West Sumatera flooding 2011. And the last IRT
emergency response experience was at the regional level when we involved in the
assessment for Philippine Typhoon Haiyan response in Nov 14, 2013.
The frequency of
our response efforts highlights the fact that Indonesia is one of the most
disaster prone countries in the world.
Additionally, from Mercy Corps Indonesia’s experience responding to
national and international disasters, we have learned that our most effective
emergency responses draw from the talents of our skilled staff who are
committed to be true humanitarians.
As part of capacity building programs, Korea NGO Council
for Overseas Cooperation (KCOC) in cooperation with Mercy Corps Indonesia
intends to conduct a field workshop on needs assessment in emergencies in order
to provide an opportunity for Korean humanitarian aid workers to gain practical
knowledge and skill related to needs assessment in emergencies through learning
from good practices in assessment procedures of Mercy Corps Indonesia.
