Banda Aceh, Indonesia — During the Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) Month commemoration in Banda Aceh led by the National Agency for Disaster Management (BNPB), UN Women and UN OCHA organized a policy dialogue titled, “Building the Nexus of Humanitarian, Development, Peace (HDP): Sectoral Roles in Disaster Management during Social Conflict Situations” to discuss the interconnectedness between disasters, social conflicts and violent extremism in Indonesia, and the integral role that the Disaster Management Clusters (Klaster PB) can play in managing and responding to disasters, social conflicts, and radicalization.

Representatives of the Coordinating Ministry for Human Development and Cultural Affairs (KEMENKO PMK), the National Agency for Disaster Management (BNPB), the Ministry of Home Affairs (KEMENDAGRI), the Ministry of Social Affairs (KEMENSOS), the Ministry of Women’s Empowerment and Child Protection (Kemen PPPA) and the National Counter Terrorism Agency (BNPT) as well as UN Women and UN OCHA reviewed the roles of each ministry in disaster management efforts in social conflict, recognized the urgency of a comprehensive approach - including through policies - to respond and effectively manage such issues, and ensure meaningful participation and leadership of women in decision-making process for effective disaster risk reduction.

The Aceh Tsunami in 2004 is one of many examples that show the intertwined risks of natural disasters and social conflicts resulting in social inequality and conflicts. It disproportionately affects the most vulnerable groups especially women who often face limited access to resources and to decision-making process. Thus, the government’s gender-responsive preparedness on disaster management in such multidimensional context must be in place.

“UN Women supports the Government of Indonesia in bringing integrated approach by creating promising practice to connect humanitarian-development and peace from the ground up, from the community best practices to policy by positioning women’s meaningful participation at the center. Through this, women and girls are able to withstand adverse impact of conflict and natural hazard and able to contribute to resilience and sustainable peace,” said Dwi Yuliawati Faiz, Country Representative Officer-in-Charge of UN Women Indonesia.

“The provision of sexual and reproductive health services as well as prevention of and response to gender-based violence should not be considered as nice-to-have but as fulfilment of fundamental human rights that directly impacts life survival and well-being. Significant improvements are still urgently needed to ensure equitable access to these essential services. Thus, the government’s gender-responsive preparedness on disaster management in such a multidimensional context must be in place. UNFPA continues to strengthen the role of the Prevention and Management of GBV (gender-based violence) and Women’s Empowerment Sub-Cluster (GBV Sub-Cluster) coordination in Indonesia, under the leadership of the Ministry of Women's Empowerment and Child Protection,” said Elisabeth Adelina Sidabutar, Humanitarian Analyst of UNFPA Indonesia.

Disaster Management Clusters (Klaster PB) is a multi-stakeholder coordination mechanism led by the Government of Indonesia to facilitate coordination across disaster management cycle: prevention, response, and rehabilitation. “Indonesia is at the forefront of building its multi-stakeholder coordination to strengthen preparedness and emergency response to support victims of disasters from multiple threats,” said Thandie Mwape, Head of OCHA in Indonesia/ASEAN Liaison Office. “Klaster PB led by the Government ministries with the members from non-government actors is the reflection of a strong partnership and ‘gotong royong’, the true Indonesian spirit of humanity,” she continued.

UN Women and UN OCHA is supporting KEMENKO PMK and BNPB to strengthen the capacities, legal framework and role of Disaster Management Clusters through the support of the project Empowered Women for Sustainable Peace funded by the Korean International Cooperation Agency.

Banda Aceh, Indonesia — Dalam rangka memperingati Bulan Pengurangan Risiko Bencana (PRB) di Banda Aceh yang diinisiasi oleh Badan Nasional Penanggulangan Bencana (BNPB), UN Women dan UN OCHA menyelenggarakan dialog kebijakan bertajuk, “Membangun Nexus Humanitarian Development Peace (HDP): Peran Sektoral dalam Penanggulangan Bencana saat Situasi Konflik Sosial” untuk berdikusi tentang keterkaitan antara bencana, konflik sosial, dan ekstremisme kekerasan di Indonesia, serta peran integral Klaster Nasional (KLASNAS) dalam mengelola dan merespons bencana, konflik sosial, dan radikalisasi.

Perwakilan dari Kementerian Koordinator Pembangunan Manusia dan Kebudayaan (KEMENKO PMK), BNPB, Kementerian Dalam Negeri (KEMENDAGRI), Kementerian Sosial (KEMENSOS), Kementerian Pemberdayaan Perempuan dan Perlindungan Anak (Kemen PPPA) dan Badan Nasional Penanggulangan Terorisme (BNPT) serta UN Women dan UN OCHA meninjau peran masing-masing kementerian dalam upaya manajemen bencana dalam konflik sosial, mengakui pentingnya pendekatan komprehensif – termasuk melalui kebijakan – untuk merespons dan mengelola isu-isu tersebut secara efektif, dan memastikan partisipasi bermakna dan kepemimpinan perempuan dalamproses pengambilan keputusan untuk pengurangan risiko bencana yang efektif.

Tsunami Aceh pada tahun 2004 adalah salah satu dari banyak contoh yang menunjukkan keterkaitan antar risiko dari bencana alam dan konflik sosial yang mengakibatkan ketidaksetaraan sosial dan konflik. Hal ini memengaruhi kelompok yang paling rentan secara tidak proporsional, terutama perempuan yang sering menghadapi keterbatasan akses terhadap sumber daya dan proses pengambilan keputusan. Oleh karena itu, strategi pemerintah untuk kesiapsiagaan yang responsif gender dalam penanggulangan bencana dikonteks multidimensi, harus ada.

“UN Women mendukung Pemerintah Indonesia dalam menghadirkan pendekatan terpadu dengan menciptakan praktik yang menjanjikan untuk menghubungkan isu pembangunan dan kemanusiaan dengan perdamaian dari bawah ke atas, mulai dari praktik baik di komunitas hingga kebijakan, dengan menempatkan partisipasi bermakna perempuan di pusatnya. Melalui hal tersebut, perempuan dan anak perempuan mampu bertahan dari dampak buruk konflik dan bencanabahaya alam serta mampu berkontribusi pada resiliensi dan perdamaian berkelanjutan,” kata Dwi Yuliawati Faiz, Country Representative Officer-in-Charge UN Women Indonesia.

“Ketersediaan layanan dan informasi Kesehatan reproduksi serta pencegahan dan penanganan terhadap kekerasan berbasis gender (KBG), bukan opsi tambahan, melainkan bentuk pemenuhan hak asasi manusia yang berdampak langsung terhadap kelangsungan dan kesejahteraan hidup (UNFPA). Peningkatan yang signifikan masih sangat dibutuhkan untuk memastikan akses setara terhadap layanan esensial tersebut. Kesiapsiagaan pemerintah yang responsif gender dalam penanggulangan bencana di konteks yang multidimensional harus diterapkan. UNFPA terus memperkuat peran koordinasi Sub-Klaster Pencegahan dan Penanganan KBG dan Pemberdayaan Perempuan (Sub-Klaster PPKBGPP) di Indonesia, di bawah kepemimpinan Kementerian Pemberdayaan Perempuan dan Perlindungan Anak,” kata Elisabeth Adelina Sidabutar, Humanitarian Analyst UNFPA Indonesia.

Klaster Penanggulangan Bencana (Klaster PB) merupakan mekanisme koordinasi multipihak yang dipimpin oleh Pemerintah Indonesia untuk memfasilitasi koordinasi antara siklus penanggulangan bencana: pencegahan, respons, dan rehabilitasi. “Indonesia berada di garis depan dalam membangun koordinasi multipihak untuk memperkuat kesiapsiagaan dan respons darurat guna mendukung korban bencana dari berbagai ancaman,” kata Thandie Mwape, Kepala Kantor Penghubung OCHA di Indonesia/ASEAN. “Klaster PB yang dipimpin oleh Kementerian Pemerintahan dengan anggota dari aktor nonpemerintah merupakan cerminan dari kemitraan yang kuat dan ‘gotong royong’, semangat kemanusiaan Indonesia yang sejati,” tambahnya.

UN Women dan UN OCHA mendukung KEMENKO PMK dan BNPB untuk memperkuat kapasitas, kerangka hukum dan peran KLASNAS melalui proyek Perempuan Berdaya untuk Perdamaian Berkelanjutan yang didanai oleh Badan Kerjasama Internasional Korea.
