Terms of Reference
A video documentary: best practices of strengthening community resilience through the PFR approach (Disaster Risk Reduction-Climate Change Adaptive-Ecosystem Management and Restoration) specific for PMI-NLRC and its collaboration as well as learning with PfR consortia.
Introduction and Rationale
The Netherlands Red Cross (NLRC) has been supporting the Indonesian Red Cross Society (PMI) since 1950 and has maintained an office in 2003. Since then NLRC and PMI have been able to arrange resources and implement projects in the field of HIV/AIDS, Community Based Health and First Aid, Water & Sanitation, Volunteer Exchange, Integrated Community Based Risk Reduction/Climate Change Adaptation, Capacity Building, Rehabilitation, etc.
While the NLRC focused on the mobilization of resources for these activities, PMI HQ Divisions, Chapters and Branches have been responsible for the implementation of the projects. The funding originates from various sources such as the Netherlands Government, private companies, and the general public.
The existing programs will have to be completed by the end of 2015. This includes a ‘climate-proof disaster risk reduction program’ which is implemented with a consortium of 4 partners: CARE Nederland, Cordaid, RC/RC Climate Centre, and Wetlands International. The lead for this alliance in Indonesia, called Partners for Resilience (PfR), is the NLRC, while it supports directly PMI to implement the program in 8 out of the 38 communities.
Video documentary is going to produce as an interactive and participatory process whereby programme use the video to document innovations and ideas as well as achievement in program implementation.
Community and volunteers motivation
Motivates and providing evidence-based implementation at community members whereas PMI Volunteers t get involved. This spirit of team-work is important in any community-based endeavor.
Getting the perspective of the community and community self-reflection
ICBRR-CC is a community-based project that seeks to enhance communities’ capacities. This video is an excellent means to obtain a community’s perspective on certain issues and understanding of the thematic issues (i.e. climate change, environment, and health). It also encourages communities to conduct a process of self-reflection. It can reveal whether and how communities understand their sources of vulnerability and sources of potential, which is useful for the design of strategies that are suitable for their local conditions.
Awareness-Raising
The video serves as a useful channel for awareness-raising on various issues, such as problems (e.g. disaster and environmental, etc.), vulnerabilities, and potential solutions (e.g. regularly cleaning the gutter, evacuation routes). Particularly interesting is how video - through the storyboard - can reveal what community members can do by themselves, at any time, to improve their local conditions (e.g. safe their livelihood from the disaster, etc). And how it's important to have supports from partners and related stakeholder
Future replication
If ICBRR-CC is successful, PMI seems to be interested in replicating the project in other areas of Indonesia. This PV can then be used horizontally, to be shown in other communities in Indonesia to encourage and stimulate them to take local initiative. Interested donors can replicate the process in the community and take into account the importance of DRR-CCA-EMR and collaboration with partners and stakeholders.
In addition to the abovementioned purposes and potentials, the assessment will be done on how video can be further integrated into the different stages of program cycle management in general (e.g. assessment, design, and monitoring) and ICBRR-CC-EMR itself in particular (i.e. how it can be linked to other components of the project).
