Motion Graphic Designer – Video National Pool of Risk Assessment Experts Process and Online Bimtek/In-House Training

Background:

INVEST DM 2.0 (Investing in Human Capital for Disaster Management) program is a collaborative program between the United States Government (through USAID) and the Government of the Republic of Indonesia (through the National Disaster Management Agency, BNPB). INVEST DM 2.0 is designed as a continuation of the USAID/BHA Technical Assistance and Training Team (TATTs) program (2014-2019) and the first phase of the INVEST DM program (May 2019-Jan 2021). The program is focused on the national level, with many interventions expected to be absorbed by the regions. This program directly supports the National Disaster Management Agency (BNPB) in building the capacity of its human resources (bureaucratic reform and capacity building) and national disaster management capacity through education and training initiatives as well as system and strategy improvements. It is hoped that these initiatives will contribute to strengthening local disaster management institutions and people at key administrative levels who will be better prepared and able to fulfill their mandate to deliver effective and lifesaving PB services.

As implementing organization, Mercy Corps Indonesia is part of the global Mercy Corps family, a leading global organization powered by the belief that a better world is possible. In disaster, in hardship, in more than 40 countries worldwide, we partner to put bold solutions into action — helping people triumph over adversity and build stronger communities from within.

National Pool of Disaster Risk Experts

To advance DRM efforts at the sub-national level and in the spirit of meeting citizens' basic rights, the GOI has established minimum service standards (MSS) on disaster management services, with sub-national governments (district/municipalities) mandated to provide three basic services: 1) disaster-hazard information, 2) disaster prevention and preparedness, and 3) disaster rescue and evacuation. To meet these needs in an archipelagic state with over 500 sub-national governments vulnerable to eleven types of hazards, Indonesia is addressing the chronic shortfall of risk assessors with national quality standards to assist sub-national governments with scientific and evidence-based risk assessment. A mechanism to systematically identify, recruit, train, and mobilize experts is being piloted with the objective to:

• Increase the availability and readiness of risk assessment experts at the sub-national level
• Standardized quality assurance of risk assessments
