Consultant (Reviewer) on “Learning from implementation of emergency responds in Jakarta

Scope of Work
Consultant (Reviewer) on “Learning from implementation of emergency responds in Jakarta and West Java Province”

I.     Introduction
Indonesia’s law number 24 of 2007 concerning disaster management defined that emergency response means a series of prompt actions during the disaster to deal with negative impacts, such as rescuing and evacuating victims and material possessions, providing basic necessities and protection, taking care of refugees, salvaging and recovering infrastructure and facilities. 

Clarity of responsibilities, rights and obligations of all parties, including government, private sector and community is the concrete form of understanding of disaster management in emergency response. It must be determined before the event of disaster. People and communities are element that directly exposed to disaster risks; they also determine the effectiveness of emergency response. To that end, community should be the first and the most important responders to disasters.
Kelurahan is the smallest governmental structure of the governance system in some provinces in Indonesia. In respect to this Kelurahan status, the effectiveness of disaster management should be initiated and developed by the community itself from Kelurahan level. In practice, numerous gaps occurs in emergency response; uneven aid distribution, lack off cooperation among stakeholders, the difference of information or even the neglect of rights of the disaster affected people.
To address these issues, Mercy Corps Indonesia is intended to conduct a study to document the successes, challenges and lessons learned from the existing emergency response experiences. The study will be focused in Jakarta and West Java Province as the two have slightly different vertical coordination in responding disaster.  Mercy Corps Indonesia Drive C and API program worked on both provinces on disaster risk reduction and emergency respond.
