Introduction

National context

Indonesia is an archipelago of 13,700 islands extending some 5,000 km. It has a population of more than 212 million that is predominately rural; 87% of them are Muslim and they are made up of numerous ethnic groups.

The country has experienced democracy only for the past two years. It is plagued by growing poverty and ethnic, religious and political unrest.

After a growth period during the early 1990s, the Asian crisis brought about a severe financial crisis to the country, from which it is still suffering. Although recent changes in government have buoyed the financial markets, the national debt still remains at an untenable level (US$172 billion). While the IMF has agreed to a further conditional loan, the President and Government have stated that although revitalising the economy is their priority, this will take time. Unemployment is still high (38%), the average basic wage remains low (US$33.00 per month) and the country’s industrial capacity is under utilised.

This environment has impacted severely on humanitarian issues. The world’s fourth most populous country has approximately 40 million people living below the poverty line. Poverty related vulnerability continues to increase, the situation of low income families is increasingly evident in cities where many rely on casual labour. Single parent households, particularly those headed by a female, and the elderly, street children and rural landless find it difficult to obtain work, increasing pressure on local and central government welfare resources.

Many children no longer attend school. Similarly, access to primary health care is becoming less available for increasing numbers of the population. With a subdued economic environment, people are finding it difficult to cope with daily needs and growing numbers are becoming vulnerable to disease and malnutrition.

Since the onset of the economic crisis, tensions between transmigrant, indigenous and religious groups have erupted into violence in several provinces. This has led to hundreds of deaths and tens of thousands of displaced (IDPs). The provinces of West Kalimantan (58,544 IDPs), Central and North Sulewsi (323,140 IDPs), North and Central Malukus (466,409 IDPs), and West Timor (157,969 IDPs) have all suffered violence during the past year.

In Aceh, clashes between the army and secessionist groups continues to escalate, with over 1,000 people killed in recent months. Over 121,533 IDPs have moved from Aceh to neighbouring provinces. Iran Jaya, (16,500 IDPs) which seeks secession, is another province where violence continues to threaten, although tensions diminished this year now that the government’s decentralisation policy is being discussed at provincial level. Between them, East, Central and West Java currently host 187,806 IDPs.

These frequent eruptions of internal strife have produced a dramatic increase in the number of vulnerable people, particularly among the 1.3 million internally displaced (UNHCR August 2001).

Although political uncertainty and unrest have eased with the installation of a new President, Indonesia remains under constant threat from a range of natural disasters. These include geo-tectonic movement (not a week goes by without a moderate earthquake somewhere in the archipelago), volcanic eruptions (128 active volcanoes), tsunamis, floods, landslides and forest fires (leading to the ‘haze’ phenomenon).

National society priorities

The vision of the Indonesian Red Cross Society (Palang Merah Indonesia - PMI) clearly states its ambition to be "widely recognized as a humanitarian organization providing timely and effective Red Cross services particularly to those most needing such services, with a spirit of Neutrality and Independence".

The PMI Strategic Plan adopted the following priorities in 1999:

Disseminating and developing the application of the basic principles of the Red Cross Red Crescent Movement and International Humanitarian Law throughout Indonesian society.

Optimisation and consolidation of the organization, development of its potential, and improvement of its human and material resources.

The conduct of quality and timely Red Cross services covering:


-humanitarian assistance in emergency situations,

-social and public health services,

-blood services.


Enhancing youth participation in Red Cross activities.

Priority programmes for Federation assistance

The goal of the Federation in Indonesia is to build the capacity of the PMI in the four core areas of humanitarian values, disaster response, disaster preparedness and health and care in the community. Using PMI’s Strategic Plan (1999-2004) as a basis, the Federation will provide support to key programmes, enabling the society to provide better quality services to the people of Indonesia.

With the continued high level of unrest stemming from secessionist, ethnic and religious differences, the Federation delegation will support the PMI, in co-ordination with the ICRC, in its response to these events. In particular it will support the society’s governance in implementing the PMI vision and mission by strengthening their management capacity at all levels and formulating strategies for chapter and branch development in disaster prone areas.

1. Disaster preparedness

Background and achievements/lessons to date

Geologically and ecologically, Indonesia is highly vulnerable and disaster prone. It is located at the friction points of three continental tectonic plates, causing earthquakes and tsunamis, and lies in the ‘belt of fire’, with 128 active volcanos. Landslides, flash-floods and droughts are also frequent occurrences.

The logistics conditions are challenging: railroads are found only on Java and Sumatra and road systems exist only on Java and Bali. However, air and particularly sea transport service large areas of the country and run effectively.

Since 1997, the political, social and economic collapse, coupled with frequent clashes and violence between religious and ethnic groups and the secessionist movements in Aceh and Irian Jaya has created a huge problem of internal displacement (an estimated 1.3 million people in 19 provinces).

Disaster response is one of the core services of the PMI (Republic of Indonesia Presidential Decrees of 1963 and 1990). PMI is mandated to respond in the first two weeks after a disaster, in close coordination with BAKORNAS, SATKORLAK and SATLAK (the national, provincial and local co-ordination bodies for natural disasters). The latest Presidential Decree of January 2001 attributed additional obligations to BAKORNAS-PBP to deal with the internal displacement problem.

PMI has a network of 27 chapters and 316 branches, not all fully active, and a large number of volunteers from schools and universities, as well as doctors and other professionals.

The present programme is formulated on the basis of ‘PMI Policy Guidelines 1999-2004’, ‘Disaster Preparedness Plan 1997 of PMI’ and ‘December 2000 Final Report of Review of DP/CP Programs of PMI’. And it is implemented under the responsibility of the society’s disaster preparedness and response division.

As a result of the activities in recent years:

230 trainers have been trained to conduct Satgana team training in branches in 23 chapters.

SATGANA teams (multipurpose volunteer corps for response at branch level) have been trained and partly equipped in 51 disaster prone branches.

18 mobile emergency units with standard emergency kits provided to as many chapters.

A core group of 40 devoted volunteers identified and appointed for the formation of the Tim Khusus, a rapid emergency response unit, at the headquarters level.

Disaster/ conflict management meetings and training with the intention of reaching all 27 chapters’ management have been initiated and 15 chapters involved to date.

A Disaster/conflict management training programme is being planned (PMI/ICRC/Federation).

The programme for 2002-03 largely builds on these accomplishments for improved disaster response capacity, but simultaneously aims at further developing a community based disaster/conflict preparedness programme (CBDP/CP), where some initial steps have been taken in the last two years. Efforts are being made to further upgrade the disaster and conflict management capacity, in particular at PMI headquarters level.

2. Health and care

Background and achievements/lessons to date

Despite Indonesia’s economic growth in the early 1990s, many rural areas lack adequate access to effective public health facilities. This, compounded with the economic collapse in the late nineties which caused further economic hardship to an already vulnerable community, has worsened the incidence of disease.

Incidence rates of vector borne diseases such as dengue, malaria, filariasis and schistosomiasis show no major improvement. The dengue haemorrhagic fever fatality rate decreased from 2.9% in 1992 to 2.5% in 1995, but the inicidence rate increased from 9.45 per 100,000 population in 1992 to 18.41 in 1995. The incidence of malaria fluctuates on different islands of the country.

In the most recent socioeconomic survey (SUSEWNS 1995), Indonesia had an estimated population of over 195 million. The annual population growth rate (1990-1995) was 1.71 and the crude birth rate (CBR) and crude death rate (CDR) 25.3 and 7.5 respectively. The total fertility rate (TFR) was estimated at 2.9 (1990-1995).

Mortality rates have shown a gradual but slow decline, particularly the maternal mortality ratio. Between 1986 and 1995, the infant mortality rate (IMR) declined from 71 to 55 per 1000 live births, the under five year mortality rate from 111 to 81 per 1000 live births, and the maternal mortality ratio (MMR) from 450 to 390 per 100,000 live births.

In terms of water and sanitation, in 1995 accessibility to clean water had increased to 87.3% in urban areas and 57.4% in rural areas. However, bacteriological standards of the water are relatively low. The major cause is contamination associated with the proximity of "clean water" facilities to septic tanks. In urban areas this is as high as 75% and in rural areas 55.9% (BPS 1995). The proportion of the population with adequate excreta disposal facilities was 87.67% in urban areas and 61.4% in rural areas in 1995.

The government of Indonesia has made serious efforts to provide primary health care services, particularly to the poor. It emphasizes the development of human resources, giving priority to improving health and education. Furthermore, it encourages public community involvement in health related activities as well as private and NGO sector participation, through collaboration and other participatory mechanisms. Future strategies emphasize intersectoral co-operation, community participation, and delegation of authority to provincial and lower levels.

The PMI adopted a new strategic development plan for 1999-2004 at its national convention in 1999. It prioritized the following sectors: disaster preparedness; blood; training; volunteer development; information; and health. There is a great demand for community based health services because of the profound impact on the health situation of environmental, economic and social unrest. Given this situation PMI wants to continue strengthening its health programme, and delivering an effective and integrated service to target communities where its work so far has won a positive response.

This appeal seeks funds for three components within the health and care programme:

Capacity building and technical support.

First aid/community based first aid.

HIV/AIDS prevention.

Overall Goal The goal of the PMI health programme is to improve the health status of the most vulnerable.

Capacity building and technical support

Background and achievements/lessons to date

The PMI’s strategic plan identifies the health sector as one of its priority areas. However, this plan has not yet been widely translated into concrete health activities. Currently, health activities are managed by two divisions - the Health and Social Services division and the Training of Human Resources division. Activities range from first aid to CBB, integrated water and sanitation programmes and HIV/AIDS. Human resources and capacity at the headquarters level are inadequate to plan, implement and monitor national programmes and to provide the necessary support to chapters and branches. Capacity in individual branches varies tremendously. A problem common to all health activities is the weak reporting and monitoring link between chapter and headquarters. In addition, PMI headquarters lacks an adequate system for monitoring and quality assurance, due to a lack of common standards and agreed approaches.

Goal PMI’s health and social services and training divisions have adequate capacity to deliver effectively co-ordinated, sustainable and integrated health programmes according to PMI’s strategic plan.

Annual evaluation visits by teams from the international Red Cross Red Crescent community, including donor representatives.

HIV/AIDS programme

Background and achievements/lessons to date

The first AIDS case in Indonesia was identified in 1987. Cumulatively, AIDS reported cases from the month of April 1987 to end December 2000 totalled 452 cases, although this figure is doubtless well below the reality. The Indonesian ministry of health and social welfare and WHO/UNAIDS estimated that in 2001 there were around 80,000 - 120,000 people living with HIV.

Indonesia is still a low prevalence country (HIVinfection rate is less than 5%), but there is considerable potential for the spread of the epidemic in the future, because of a number of risk factors, including: a large and highly mobile prostitute population, domestic and internatinal migration, urbanization, tourism, increasing poverty, proximity to high incidence areas, high-risk sexual behaviour among certain groups, and a small but growing population of intravenous drug users (IDU).

In 1996, the government issued a regulation that condom use was compulsory for all clients of female prostitutes throughout Indonesia to help prevent transmission to the general population. This "100% condom policy" was evaluated in 1998by as study which found that women’s continuous condom use was significantly related to their knowledge of STD/AIDS, their positive beliefs about condoms and self-efficacy in using condoms. Other studies have pointed out the high risk and generally low condom use of truck drivers and youths, particularly gay youths.

Although Indonesia started early on preparing a realistic national HIV/AIDS strategy, full implementation has been constrained by many factors, including budget and qualified manpower.

PMI has been supportive of the national initiative, by conducting youth and women peer education in more than three districts, and has received postive feedback from the youth and women working in the programme.

In addtion, PMI is a member of the Asian Red Cross Red Crescent Task force on AIDS and has developed capacity in prevention programmes. In a recent strategic planning workshop, PMI analysed its present involvement in HIV/AIDS and outlined its future priorities. This appeal is based on its strategic plan.

Community based first aid (CBFA)

Background and achievements/lessons to date

PMI has a long history of CBFA programmes and activities. It participated in the development of the Asian CBFA manual and has translated, adapted and incorporated material from the manual into its first aid programmes. With the development of specific training modules (for haze, dengue fever), PMI reacted to newly emerging challenges. The training programme was implemented in large parts of the country and, depending on the chapter capacity, with varying degrees of success: community initiatives were rarely generated by the community based training or volunteers, who are largely dependent on the capacity of branches and chapters for support and guidance. In addition, an effective reporting and support system to headquarters is still lacking. As a result, no effective quality assurance system can be carried out and capacity at headquarters level is very limited.

A health delegate was based for one year in Tarakan and finished her mission in May 2001. Since then, the programme has been running without any direct technical support. An extensive review is planned in early 2002 to evaluate the feasibility of the approach taken, its sustainability and its potential for replication and expansion. This review will be conducted by PMI with the support of the regional health unit. Meanwhile, PMI emphasis will be on strengthening the quality assurance system within the first aid programme at headquarters and chapter level.

3. Humanitarian values

Background and achievements/lessons to date

In its final declaration, the Asia-Pacific Regional Conference in Hanoi in 1998 recognized communications as one of the priority areas for the Movement in the region: "We will progressively improve our ability to publicize the activities and enhance the image not only of our own national societies but of the Movement as a whole, thereby building public, corporate and government support to our national and international operations."

Although all national societies pledged to fulfill this commitment, the development of communications capacity continues to remain a relatively low priority in most national societies and well functioning communications departments have been slow to evolve. In order to address this issue and enable a more focused and effective approach to communications across the region, the Federation has initiated a number of communications initiatives across the region, the most recent being the development of a Regional Communications Strategy for Asia Pacific. This is largely based on the Regional Communications Strategy for East and Southeast Asia 2001-2005, which was developed by information staff of the national societies in the two sub-regions in early 2001, who also formed a Regional Communications Network. Representatives of the Indonesia Red Cross Society (PMI) took part in the creation of the sub-regional strategy and the formation of the network. These initiatives will be the basis for the communications/humanitarian values support provided by the Federation to PMI in 2002/2003.

With the restructuring of the PMI’s national headquarters in early 2001, a new division called Public Relations and Foreign Affairs was created, giving credence to the importance PMI places on this aspect of its activities. The division has limited capacity in terms of staff, workload and writing and editing skills. While these skills can be improved by providing in-house and in-country training, the division also seeks opportunities through training overseas and participation in international conferences/workshops/meetings.

During 2001 the PMI received local media coverage, featured in Federation publications and on-line and took part in the regional communications initiatives described above. ICRC support in the field of dissemination of International Humanitarian Law is expected to continue in 2002, not least towards PMI staff members and volunteers -- 30,000 in all, spread over 13,700 islands, many of which are very difficult to reach.

While a number of communications-related activities have taken place featuring the PMI and Federation in Indonesia (including a public service announcement shown on national television and a dissemination workshop held in co-operation with the ICRC and the Federation), these activities have not been part of a cohesive and deliberate communications strategy. There is an urgent need to develop a strategic communications plan and to disseminate this throughout the organization. The Federation will support the development of such a strategic plan in 2002, to fit within the East and Southeast Asia Regional Communications Strategy. Co-operation with the ICRC will be sought in this regard.

This programme is twofold: it aims firstly to support the strengthening of the PMI’s communications division and secondly to promote and portray the International Federation in Indonesia as a leading humanitarian organization. In this document ‘communications’ refers to conventional information work, public relations, dissemination and fundraising activities.

4. Organisational development

Background and achievements/lessons to date

To date, organisational development within PMI has primarily focused on governance and headquarters level management. The national society’s recently appointed secretary general and the governing board are strongly committed to prioritising organisational development throughout the provinces and chapters in order to strengthen the society generally.

The PMI strategic work plan (1999-2004) clearly reflects these priorities and serves as a basis for the Federation development programme. This 2002 appeal reflects the recent reorganisation within PMI headquarters and seeks to build on this new structure, strengthening the skills and capabilities of the central management team to provide support to the organization and at the same time supporting the development of selected chapters and branches.

Indonesia is undergoing many political and social changes and the PMI needs to adapt to the new challenges these changes present. The government is devolving more autonomy to the provinces and the army is moving away from its territorial infrastructure, which dominated local administrations in the past. The present PMI governance recognizes these changes and is aiming to broaden the mandate of PMI and to promote change, both in activities and in the composition of the governance boards at chapter and branch levels throughout the country.

The PMI is a diverse organization scattered across a huge archipelago, whose population, approximately 212 million, is the fourth largest in the world. In the past, the PMI operated as a collection of related but semiautonomous provincial organizations, rather than a unified and centrally led Red Cross society. It is estimated that 35% of the PMI’s chapters and 76% of its branches are inactive, mainly because of a very narrow interpretation of the society’s mandates as being services in natural disaster or conflict situations and blood transfusion. There has been little scope or motivation to be active in other areas. The increasing occurrence of disasters and conflict has, however, heightened the need for PMI action and there has been an upsurge of chapters (27) and branches (316) seeking guidance and direction from the central organization.

The Strategic Plan for 1999-2004, adopted in 1999, reflects the direction in which both governance and management wish to take the PMI. This programme will capitalise on the direction set, and the initiatives taken so far by the PMI in developing its organisational and resource capacity. It will target those chapters and branches most willing to participate in determining and implementing the change strategy. Internally, board members, staff and volunteers alike will be targeted and educated through orientation and management workshops. Externally, heads of the relevant government ministries and local heads of public administration will be targeted through discussions and information on the possible scope of Red Cross activities.

Building on the programme started in 2001, the Federation will seek to further the objective of a well functioning national society in Indonesia.

Goal To further strengthen the Indonesian Red Cross to become a well-functioning national society that can mobilise support and carry out its humanitarian mission, addressing the needs of the most vulnerable in Indonesia.

5. Co-ordination and management

Background and achievements/lessons to date

Over the past few years, Indonesia and the PMI have undergone pronounced and traumatic changes. The PMI requires external support both to facilitate these self determined changes and to ensure that it continues to develop into a more effective, responsive and well functioning national society. There will be challenges and obstacles in the path of progress, and although some results will be evident in the short term, there needs to be a long term commitment to ensure sustainable development and significant results.

The Federation delegation in Indonesia was established in January 1998, just prior to the downfall of President Suharto. Historically, support from the Federation to PMI has mainly concentrated on management issues, assistance with major disaster response events, assessment missions and presenting the PMI as a capable and credible partner to funding agencies. In 1999 the PMI announced its five year strategic development plan. Since then, increased support has been given to the process, the dissemination and the implementation of the priorities outlined in this document.

An important aspect of Federation support has been to assist the PMI in determining its fields of activity within the core areas of Strategy 2010. It has also helped the society in designing and implementing a pilot project in community based first aid and water and sanitation (CBFA and watsan) in East Kalimantan and in overseeing the implementation of a disaster preparedness project which established Satganas (emergency response teams) and provided mobile response units (MRUs) in eighteen chapters. In addition, a survey of all chapters and branches was conducted, the results of which have used to formulate the programmes outlined in this appeal.
