Promotion of human rights and democratic reform in Aceh Thanks to matching funding from the EU, this project is complementing and continuing the work started by the legal aid organisation Lembaga Bantuan Hukum (LBH), under an earlier project 2010-11.  LBH also works to strengthen the capacity of communities which have become victims of human rights abuse, particularly in enabling people to stand up to any attempt to misuse the law to their disadvantage, and to promote an honest and fair judiciary system and judiciary process.  As a respected legal institution, LBH has played a key role in legal reform in Aceh, and has been supporting the local government in drawing up legislation. LBH has seven branch offices as well as its main office in Banda Aceh, and the CAFOD-supported project covers nine districts throughout Aceh.  LBH seeks to raise awareness of how local laws contradict international human rights standards, promote a transparent and accountable judiciary and judicial processes, as well as to mobilise civil society support and stronger commitment from key decision-makers for the establishment of a Truth and Reconciliation Commission and a Human Rights Court.  This project is part of the Aceh Peace Programme.
Rapid Response for Western Sulawesi Earthquake On 15/1/2021, a 6.2 earthquake hit Western Sulawesi severely impacting Mamuju district. killing at least 91 people and injuring hundreds, prompting landslides and destroying houses. Total number of people affected: 20,448. The epicenter of the quake was six kilometres north-east of Majene city at a depth of 10 kilometres.

KARINA and the diocese of Makassar conducted a needs assessment among 32 affected groups identifying the main needs:
•Food
•Access to clean water 
•Unavailability of public lavatories
•Challenges around evacuation points due to Covid-19. 

The aim of this rapid response is to provide life-saving essential items to the affected people together with support around COVID 19 protocols.
Aceh Institute - Programme Co-ordination and Joint Programme Work Aceh Institute (AI) is a respected research organisation helping to increase Aceh's research and academic capacity through training, internships and publications. Through such activities they also hope to increase people's awareness of the post-Tsunami and post-conflict processes and ensure transparency and accountability in them. 
Within the Aceh Peace Programme AI will lead on co-ordination work. They will carry out a baseline study at the start of the period in order to help the partners monitor their work and they will organise quarterly programme meetings for all the partners. These meetings will discuss progress and challenges to date, what to focus on in the next quarter and identify and formulate any joint advocacy initiatives. Further, AI will conduct open discussion sessions on the three main thematic areas within the programme, led by specialist speakers and attended by the various stakeholders and partners. Finally, they will co-ordinate and lead on the writing and publication of a joint piece of work for all the programme partners. This will function as a situation report, reference document and advocacy tool and will be shared with stakeholders and publicised widely. In order for the programme to maximise its potential in terms of partners working together and carrying out joint pieces of work it was felt that it was imperative to have one organisation functioning as a co-ordinator and key researcher; and Aceh Institute has both the respect and experience needed to lead in this area.
Phase 2 Indonesia Tsunami Appeal In response to changing needs and the transition to recovery and reconstruction phase, CAFOD/CRS are putting a greater focus on recovery solutions. This shift is reflected in our approach for Phase 2, which includes provision of conditional cash transfer for transitional shelters with integrated permanent latrines. Additionally, CAFOD/CRS have also decided to support resilience building strategies through integrating community-led disaster risk management (DRM) and through building capacity of key project stakeholders and local partners, in Safeguarding and protection for a safer and more accountable response.
Cianjur-West Java Earthquake Rapid Response The 21st November 2022 earthquake (with a magnitude of 5.6 on the Richter scale) that struck Cianjur in West Java, Indonesia, had a devastating effect on communities in 169 villages located in 16 sub-districts. 
It is estimated that 329 individuals died, more than 114,000 people were displaced, and that more than 24,000 houses were damaged, along with 520 education facilities and 14 health facilities. 
On 24 – 28 November 2022, Caritas Indonesia volunteer team conducted a rapid assessment in 4 affected village areas in two sub-districts, Cianjur Regency. The results of this rapid assessment provided an overview of the conditions and urgent needs of the survivors of the Cianjur earthquake for the next 2 months.
Caritas Indonesia together with the Caritas Diocese of Bogor supported by volunteers from other Dioceses provided initial assistance to the affected population in Cianjur, including the provision of food packages, shelter kits, drinking water and essential items.
Given the extent of needs of the affected communities, Caritas Indonesia, in collaboration with the Diocesan Caritas of Bogor, decided to launch an Emergency Appeal (EA 28-2022) through the Caritas Internationalis mechanisms. The proposed 2-month intervention (10 December 2022 – 10 February 2023), for a total budget of Euro253,682, includes the following activities: 
By the National Caritas: Procurement and distribution of shelter kits to 350 vulnerable households (1,400 people). 
Bu the Diocesan Caritas Bogor: repair of 10 damaged clean water installations, to serve 500 families (2,000 people); and provision of hygiene kits and cooking utensils to 350 households.
CAFOD has pledged Euro 20,000 to support financially this emergency appeal and assistance.
Helping citizens’ groups and policy makers work together for community security Thanks to some additional support from EU funds, this project is complementing and continuing the work started by KontraS-Aceh under an earlier project 2010-11, to address what is known as “Security Sector Reform (SSR)”.  Any society which has recently emerged from a period of civil conflict, like Indonesia’s Aceh Province, is liable to remain insecure and dangerous because its social systems have broken down and become geared towards violence.  SSR seeks to foster the return to normalcy through promoting good governance and the rule of law, establishing good practice and firm discipline in the security forces (army and police), reintegration of ex-combatants, and so on.  Experience shows that SSR can’t be imposed from outside by the government or the international community: local citizens must be directly engaged in the process.  Our partner KontraS-Aceh will therefore work on this issue with grassroots organisations in ten conflict-affected districts.  They will train local focal points to monitor regional government budgets, and to investigate and record any cases of police or army involvement in human rights abuses or violence.  This project is part of the Aceh Peace Programme.
Economic Development Initiative in Post-Tsunami Resettlements in Blang Beurandang and Leuhan This project is focussing on income generation measures targetting mainly poor and middle class households in the resettlement complex in Blang Beurandang and Leuhan villages. These families are victims of Tsunami and relocated to Blang Beurandang from three urban neighbourhoods of Suak Indrapuri, Pasir and Padang Seurahet. 

Following a successful reconstruction programme in Blang Beurandang, which is partly funded by CAFOD-DEC fund in 2008, Caritas Switzerland has implemented a few related projects to support the communities to help rebuild their livelihoods. The proposed project in particular focusses on income generation and community development. 

The (specific) objective of the project is: "Economic conditions of the community in the resettlement area of Blang Beurandang and Leuhan are sustainably improved through skill development, strengthening of cooperatives, linkage building with third parties and better access to business capital and markets."

Activities include: professional skill training, establishment of primary cooepratives, establishment of saving & credit system, provision of matching funds for cooperatives, promotion of sales and exhibitions of local products, establishment of resettlement development committees, and training on community leadership and organisational development.
International collaboration for a just and sustainable response to climate change Down to Earth seeks to act as a “bridge” between Indonesia and Europe, taking a collaborative approach to working with partners inside and outside Indonesia for capacity-building, information dissemination, translation, and advocacy for environmentally sustainable policies and practices.  Specific areas for research and campaigning are agrofuels and natural resources extraction.  Local communities in Indonesia are supported to defend their livelihoods and resource rights, and to promote sustainable community-based natural resource management systems – with a special focus on those which include initiatives to adapt and/  or mitigate climate change.  The partner is an active member of Indonesia’s Civil Society Forum on Climate Justice.
Institutional support to Caritas Indonesia Caritas Indonesia (Karina) has recently completed its five year strategic plan, which was supported by CAFOD and a number of other Caritas agencies, and is now finalising the new strategic plan for 2013-2017, which will be rolled out from January 2014. In this period of transition, Karina has identified five key areas where support is needed to enhance Karina’s ability to implement the new strategic plan.

1) Karina has recently seen a change of leadership, restructure and new salary scale. This is causing confusion amongst staff and disconnection between team members. It is important to support Karina through these changes to ensure the team is effectively operating and able to roll out the new 5-year strategic plan.

2) Whilst the strategic plan has been drafted, how it will be rolled out still needs to be identified. More concrete targets and annual achievements need to be developed. Karina will hold their annual meeting in May 2013 and diocesan Caritases will be invited to participate in designing the operational plans for 2013-2017. This will foster ownership amongst the diocesan Caritases of the national Caritas’s programmes and activities.

3) Both Karina and donor Caritas agencies have long expressed concerns with Karina’s financial management systems, and Caritas Australia has supported Karina to install new software. However, Karina is still in need of support from a financial consultant to learn how to use this new system and link it to Karina’s overall financial control mechanisms. 

4) Karina needs to maintain its strategic position with the Bishops Conference of Indonesia (BCI) and build links with other Commissions within the BCI, including the Justice and Peace Commission and the Gender and Women’s Empowerment Commission, to ensure the Commissions complement one another and meet the needs of the communities in the dioceses within which they all operate. 

5) Recognising the reduced funding available from international Caritas agencies, Karina has developed a new fundraising strategy. One of the first activities is to more actively promote its work and values within Indonesia in order to generate interest and raise funds, including documenting and publicising their activities in reports and bulletins.
Promotion of human rights and democratic reform in Aceh Lembaga Bantuan Hukum (LBH), the Legal Aid Foundation, provides free legal aid to people covering economic, social, civil and political rights. LBH also works to strengthen the capacity of communities which have become victims of human rights abuse, particularly in enabling people to stand up to any attempt to misuse the law to their disadvantage, and to promote an honest and fair judiciary system and judiciary process.  As a respected legal institution, LBH has played a key role in legal reform in Aceh, and has been supporting the local government in drawing up legislation. LBH has seven branch offices as well as its main office in Banda Aceh, and the CAFOD-supported project covers nine districts throughout Aceh.  As part of its overall strategy of helping the Acehnese people to restore the rule of law following a lengthy period of civil conflict (which only ended in 2005) LBH advocates for the setting up of a Truth and Reconciliation Commission after the model pioneered in South Africa in the 1990s.  This project is part of the Aceh Peace Programme.
Helping local communities in North Aceh to reduce their vulnerability to disaster SKS, which stands for Solidaritas Kelompok Sipil (Civil Solidarity Group), was formed after the December 2004 Tsunami, and received CAFOD support to build houses to replace those destroyed in the tsunami.  Through this work SKS developed good relations with both local communities and local government in its target area of North Aceh.  Since 2010 CAFOD has supported SKS’ efforts to establish a disaster preparedness network covering seven of the villages, and also to help the villagers put drought-affected land back into food production.  The communities are being supported to draft village development plans which include Disaster Risk Reduction (an approach which seeks to identify and reduce vulnerability to disasters before they happen), together with measures to adapt to climate change in order to ensure that the development work will be sustainable.  At the local government level SKS will conduct workshops and public hearings in order to raise awareness and understanding of disaster risk reduction and climate change amongst decision makers, so they can be fully incorporated into development plans.  SKS hopes to improve on the relationship between grassroots communities and local authorities and that they will support each other in the mainstreaming of disaster risk reduction into planning. In implementing this project, SKS will meet regularly with YPK, which is doing similar work in West Aceh, to share experiences and learning and start to develop provincial level advocacy initiatives.
Consolidating the Caritas network in Indonesia CAFOD is the official member for England and Wales of Caritas, an international coalition of 165 Catholic aid organisations which forms the largest humanitarian and development network in the world, and as such we recognise a special responsibility to provide capacity-building support to other Caritas organisations.  Effective Caritas organisations in those areas are a front line of defence for the local population: they are on the spot and can respond immediately, mobilising local volunteers and local resources.  They also have the potential to work with local communities, civil society and government institutions on Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR), an approach which seeks to identify and reduce vulnerability to disasters before they happen.  Caritas Indonesia (Karina) was formed in 2006, and mandated by the Indonesian Catholic Bishops’ Conference to serve as the national co-ordinating, animating and facilitating body for the diocesan Caritas organisations throughout the country.  This project, which CAFOD supports in collaboration with a number of other Caritas organisations, has two components.  The first aims to help the diocesan partners to strengthen their sense of Caritas identity, to develop and strengthen their vision, mission and mandate based on Caritas principles, and to professionalise their organisational capacity.  Under the second component, which focuses on DRR (a key Caritas activity in Indonesia), some of the more experienced diocesan organisations are helped to share their learning about networking and community empowerment, while less experienced organisations are given training and supported to develop Disaster Preparedness Action Plans.
Supporting earthquake-affected families in restoring their livelihoods and WASH infrastructure On 28 September 2018, an earthquake and a tsunami hit the Central Sulawesi province in Indonesia and resulted in widespread damage and loss. As of end of January 2019, 4340 people have been declared dead and 66,000 houses were completely damaged. Furthermore, the disaster led to an estimated economic loss of US$ 986 million. Five months after the disaster, the region is still officially in a “transitional period” from emergency to recovery/rehabilitation and many people have not been able to resume their lives.
This  projectaims to contribute to the recovery of earthquake-affected families in nine villages in Sigi District through improved access to WASH infrastructure, livelihood sources and disaster preparedness mechanisms.
Campaign to combat energy poverty in Indonesia Indonesia's reliance on fossil fuels for electricity generation contributes substantially to high carbon emissions which are generally believed to drive climate change.   At the same time there is widespread energy poverty within the country.  Electricity is subsidised, but this subsidy mainly benefits the better off: 35-40% of the population do not have access to electricity, and a great many areas - especially rural areas - have an inadequate supply.  Poor families have no choice but to pay high prices for alternative sources of energy, and this has a huge negative impact on livelihoods and on children's schooling, helping to keep them in the poverty trap. Regular allocations are budgeted by the government to address energy poverty, but none of the projects supported with this money appear to produce any sustainable result.  IESR proposes a six-month campaign to address the issue.  The activities will include production of new and updated campaign materials and policy briefs, and the drawing up and launch of an Action Plan through a process involving new research and a series of dialogues with national-level stakeholders including key government agencies, businesses and NGOs.  Among the knock-on benefits are expected to be a general raising of public awareness about the issue, and enhancing impact of a special fundraising appeal for a pilot project to work with a selected small community to develop practical, sustainable solutions to its energy needs, with a demonstrable impact on livelihoods: this pilot will serve as a model of good practice for government agencies and other actors, showing what can be achieved.
Climate justice through practical adaptation and participatory learning CSF (Civil Society Forum for Climate Justice) is a network of organisations working to promote good environmental practice in Indonesia and a serious practical response to climate change, which is already impacting on the lives of poor farmers and fishworkers in many parts of the Indonesian archipelago.  CAFOD will provide resources to CSF and its members to support and develop the coping strategies of vulnerable communities seeking to respond to the effects of climate change, through support to local learning circles in three locations to spread and exchange knowledge and good practice in mitigating impact of climate change; to link up the local experience to the national level through establishment of a multi-stakeholder learning circle which will map vulnerability and develop a clearer understanding of climate change; and to engage in media publicity and advocacy at local, national and global levels to influence policy changes on climate change.
Support to Down to Earth and Tapol on strategic development As a result of the refocusing process, CAFOD is phasing out of eight countries, one of which is Indonesia. As part of the Indonesia country programme, CAFOD has partnered with Down to Earth (DtE) since 1989 and Tapol since 2001. DtE and Tapol are long established in the UK, both working on aspects of human rights in Indonesia, working closely with Indonesian partners.  

In 2012, DtE and Tapol were informed by CAFOD and Cordaid, two of their major donors, that funding would be cut and the last grants would be made this financial year (2012/13). Given the close working relationship between the two organisations and the overlapping priorities, DtE and Tapol have started to discuss ways of working more closely together. The two organisations would now like to bring in an external consultant to undertake a study over a period of 10 days of the parameters of closer functional working. This will involve research in Indonesia, as well as with stakeholders based in the UK.

The consultant will deliver one report of between 10-20 pages giving feedback and associated costings on the options proposed by the staff and Board of the two organisations: strategic alliance, functional alliance, part merger or full merger. The report will also provide recommendations of where the greatest benefits to both organisations would come.

Given CAFOD’s longstanding partnership with the two organisations, CAFOD will support them to fund this consultancy as part of a responsible exit strategy, in order to contribute to the strategic development of the two organisations.
Solar School Solution in Baofeo Community This project is part of a programme started in 2013 by CAFOD and IIED aiming to support the design of energy services that benefit poor groups called the ‘energy delivery model’ (EDM) approach. A 6-step design process, called the EDM Toolkit,  aims to ensure services address end users’ wider development needs, fit the local context and are financially, socially and environmentally sustainable in order to maximize their development impact. CAFOD and IIED have piloted the EDM process in Boafeo community, Flores Island. Indonesia, where most people have no access to grid electricity. 639 people live in the village mostly subsistence farmers. Through the EDM process, the villagers identified three top development needs. 
1.	Better education for primary school children through interactive learning; 
2.	Increased and higher quality household lighting; 
3.	Additional income generation from coffee farming

 Boafeo has a Catholic primary school  with 92 pupils and nine teachers. The EDM process identified three key gaps preventing the priority need being met. Firstly, ‘lack of infrastructure/resources’; secondly, ‘poor teacher training’ and; thirdly, ‘teacher motivation’. These are interlinked issues and unlesss all these gaps are addressed in a holistic manner, the solution developed will not meet the need and be sustainable. The project goal is therefore to provide a holistic solution through the following:

•	Provision of  two laptops, projector, printer & learning materials
•	Provision of sustainable electricity service including maintenance and repair function
•	Teacher trainings on interactive learning and literacy

The community will fund maintenance and repairs of AV quipment and SHS. Their involvement from the initial design  through to implementation will support its long-term sustainability.  To support wider scale-up of the EDM, the training will include teachers from other schools and a community of practice developed to support ongoing peer-to-peer learning.
