Background

Yayasan ADRA Indonesia is a humanitarian organization and belongs to the worldwide ADRA network, comprising more than 120 supporting and implementing country offices. The mission of ADRA is to serve humanity thus all may live as God intended through Justice, Compassion and Love as its main values. ADRA Indonesia has been working in Indonesia since 1981 and registered as a local Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) in 1991.

ADRA Indonesia is implementing a project to strengthen the capacity of faith-based organizations (FBOs) and church networks to prepare for and respond to humanitarian emergencies in Papua. The project builds on ADRA Indonesia’s experience responding to conflict-related displacement in Papua and supporting provincial and district governments to develop contingency plans for social and armed conflict.

The project will work with at least 5 faith-based and ecumenical actors and other relevant church and humanitarian networks. Key interventions include developing and operationalizing Emergency Management Plans (EMP), strengthening Emergency Response Teams (ERT), improving humanitarian coordination, conducting training and simulations, strengthening emergency financing mechanisms (Dana Siap Pakai), support the implementation of FBOs humanitarian response aligned with humanitarian principles and International Humanitarian Law (IHL).

Functions of role

The Technical Officer will provide technical assistance, training, facilitation, and ongoing coaching to FBO partners to strengthen their institutional preparedness for humanitarian emergencies. The Technical Officer will work directly with each partner to assess existing capacities, identify gaps, develop practical contingency and emergency management plans, establish activation procedures and response structures, and test these systems through simulations.

The expected result is that participating FBOs have practical, organization-owned emergency systems that can be activated when a crisis occurs, rather than contingency plans that exist only as documents.

Coordination and Institutional Strengthening

• Strengthen links with BPBD, local government, health and social services, church networks, NGOs, and humanitarian actors where appropriate.
• Help prevent duplication among participating FBOs and ecumenical platforms.
