CALL FOR PROPOSAL Grant Program for Community Based Disaster Risk Reduction Grant Program (PRBBK)

Safer Communities through Disaster Risk Reduction in Development (SC-DRR) is a cooperation program between BAPPENAS and UNDP. This program is designed to change disaster risk reduction so that it becomes a normal part of a decentralized development process. For that purpose, it is imperative to mainstream the disaster risk reduction into development. Mainstreaming the disaster risk reduction will be pursued through the following four objectives: (i) enactment of policies, regulations and regulation frameworks on disaster risk reduction; (ii) strengthening institutions involved in disaster risk reduction and facilitating partnership among them; (iii) making communities and decision makers better informed on disaster risk and measures that can be taken to reduce those risk; and (iv) demonstrating a turn of the disaster risk reduction to be part of the development program.

In relation to the targets or outputs, the logical framework target of the SD-CRR Program has decided that a number of pilot projects of disaster risk reduction for specific disaster threat (floods, landslides, droughts, tsunamis, earthquakes and volcanoes) will be conducted Call for Proposals Grant Programme PRBBK – SC-DRR - 2 in several cities, villages, coastal areas and small islands and at certain development sectors (irrigation, dry land management, livelihoods, transportation and heath). The Project Ex-Board decided six provinces (DKI Jakarta, DI Yogyakarta, Jawa Tengah, Sumatera Barat, Bengkulu, and Nusa Tenggara Timur) and one city (Palu) as the location for SC-DRR pilot projects.
