Karina Indonesia Job Vacancy: External Auditor - Lombok, NTB

INTRODUCTION
The 6.4 SR earthquake has rocked district of East Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara Province on 29 July 2018. The center of the quake located in coordinate of 8.4°S and 116.5°E or 47 kilometers northeast of Mataram city, West Nusa Tenggara, with the depth of 24 kilometers.  Seven days later, on Sunday, 05 August 2018, another powerful earthquake with 7.0 SR struck again in Lombok and the center of the quake located in 8.37°S – 116.48°E or 18 kilometers in the northwest of East Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara, with the depth of 15 kilometers. The quake was felt on 18:46:35 Western Indonesia time. Big aftershocks were felt after that and on 9 August 2018 there was another earthquake with 6.2 SR and followed with 6.9 SR earthquake on 19 August 2018.

Denpasar Diocese through PSE-KD is aware that the needs of affected communities are getting complex, therefore, to keep the active involvement of assisting affected communities PSE-KD has developed a project called “Recovering the Living Condition of Affected Communities after the Earthquake.” This project is planned to be implemented for 6 months, started from November 2018 – April 2019.

The project was developed based on in depth assessment which was held on 6 October 2018 in Sambik Elen 1 hamlet, RT 1 – RT 6 (Neighborhood 1-6), Sambik Elen village and in Torehan hamlet, Loloan village. Both villages are part of Bayan sub district, North Lombok district.   The result of in depth assessment has shown that affected communities in both villages need to rebuild their access to clean water, temporary shelters, household appliances and basic necessities.

The needs to rebuild access to clean water are needed because most of water installation are badly damaged after the earthquake. Also the need to build temporary shelters is crucial due to incoming rainy season, and currently most of affected communities are still living in emergency tents. These tents will not be able to hold rainwater, because they are exposed with the sun for too long. If the temporary shelters are not built quickly, affected communities will suffer during the rainy season. To support the construction of temporary shelters, the debris of damaged houses must be removed to clear the area, therefore the temporary shelters could be built.

Communities also need provision of sembako for the next 6 months and household tools. Sembako provision for 6 months are needed based on the real condition of the affected communities and during the next 6 months, communities will not be able to get income because their farms are not producing yet. Such as cashew nut in Sambik Elen village, the communities suffer from crops failure because the flowers, unripe fruits and the shoots are dry because of the earthquake. The same situation is also happened in Torehan hamlet, Loloan village. Cocoa and coffee as their main income are not producing yet due to earthquake and they did not take care of their plantation since earthquake occurred. They are still traumatized to work in coffee and cocoa plantation. In the meantime, household appliances are needed because most of the tools are destroyed when earthquake occurred
