SHO Sulawesi 2018 SUMMARY
This programme outlines Plan International Netherlands response to the Earthquacke and Tsunami of October 2018 in Sulawesi, Indonesia.
Plan International implements humanitarian programming through Yayasan PLan International Indonesia (locally registered) and through local partner 'REBANA' in Sulawesie.

The Plan response focusses on providing support in the thematic sectors of Child Protection in Emergencies (CPiE), Education in Emergencies (EiE) as well as unconditional multi-purpose cash support.
AS as such PLan is supporting the set-up and/or rehabilitation of Child Frinedly Spaces (CFS) as well as Temporary Learning Centeres (TLS) in affected communities. The Multi Purpose Cash support is intended to support those vulnerable households that due to for instance liquefaction lost their housing and assessts (beside the human suffuring of losing loved ones). This MPC support enables them to survive in the immediate onset of the crisis as well as rebuild their livelihoods. On 28 September, a series of strong earthquakes struck Indonesia’s Central Sulawesi province, the strongest a 7.4M earthquake only 10 km deep and with its epicentre close to the provincial capital, Palu. The earth-quake triggered a tsunami striking beaches in Palu and Donggala. The earthquakes, tsunami and resulting liquefaction and landslides caused significant damage and loss of life. 
As of 16 October, 2,105 people are known to have died. A further 4,600 people have been seriously injured. Search and rescue operations were stopped on 12 October. According to figures released by Indonesia’s National Disaster Management Agency (BNPB), at least 680 people have been reported missing. 
Areas affected by the earthquake, tsunami, landslides and liquefaction suffered extensive damage of build-ings and infrastructure. An estimated 15,000 houses and land have been totally devastated with no perspec-tive of return. An estimated 17,000 houses are heavily destroyed but the sites may allow for reconstruction. Around 35,000 families whose houses have been severely damaged need emergency shelter support for a shorter term. Providing life-saving assistance and integrated safe education during the emergency and recovery phase and capacity for girls and boys to protect themselves from disasters and risks resulting from displacement in 5-10 locations affected by the earthquake and tsunami in Central Sulawesi.
Outcome 1: Meet im-mediate emergency shelter needs of the most vulnerable af-fected communities, particularly families with moderate and severely damaged houses
Outcome 2: Girls and boys have the knowledge and skills to protect themselves and their peers 
Outcome 3: Promote access to safe and inclusive learning facilities for girls and boys in primary schools
Outcome 4: Improved hygiene behaviour and prac-tice of girls and boys and school commu-nities Plan International Indonesia has been working in Indonesia since 1948 in advancing child rights, empowering communities and responding to emergencies. 
Focusing on child protection and education in emergencies, Plan has developed a robust emergency response team with capacity in managing humanitarian response in major emergencies in Indonesia such as the Aceh Tsunami (2004), Yogyakarta and Central Java earthquake (2006), West Sumatra earthquake (2009), Merapi volcano eruption in Yogyakarta/Central Java (2010) and Lombok Earthquake (2018). Having strong engagement with local partner organisations, Plan has built expertise in humanitarian response across Indonesia to deliver life-saving relief items distribution, CPiE, psychosocial assistance, Education in Emergencies (EiE), and Water and Sanitation Hygiene in Emergencies (WASHiE). Plan will put a focus on reaching beneficiaries classified as the most vulnerable and affected by the disaster, including those in remote rural villages whose needs are not currently being met.

Priorities will be given to the most vulnerable groups affected by earthquake and tsunami, including (1) households with severe and moderate damaged house; (2) house-holds with babies and under-fives; (3) households with pregnant women; (4) households with disability members; (5) women-headed households; (6) child-headed household and elderly.  

For the other outcomes, active participation of marginalised and vulnerable groups will be promoted, to ensure that girls and boys (and women and men where applicable) are equally consulted to understand differing impacts, and to take into account their situation to improve inclusion in the project delivery.

Gender will be integrated into the overall response cycle, following guidance established in IASC’s Gender Handbook for Humanitarian Action. Plan will adopt a multi-sectoral and coordinated approach to managing and responding to GBV risks and concerns. All interventions will seek to adhere to Minimum Standards around Child Protection and Prevention and Response to Gender Based Violence in Emergencies to ensure that humanitarian assistance is safe, and does not directly or indirectly increase women’s and girls’ protec-tion risks. All front-line staff and local partners’ staff will be trained in child protection, gender-sensitive approach and gender based violence. Plan will specifically seek to address the needs of women and adoles-cent girls through the establishment of tailored safe spaces
