About the organization:
Yayasan Relief Islami Indonesia (YRII) is a Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) headquartered in Jakarta, established under Notary Deed No. 8 by Buchari Hanafi, S.H., dated December 6, 2021, and approved by the Ministry of Law and Human Rights under Decree No. AHU-0039234.AH.01.12 of 2021, dated December 8, 2021. YRII originated from the operational experience of Islamic Relief Worldwide (IRW) in Indonesia as an international NGO and branch of Islamic Relief Worldwide headquartered in Birmingham, UK. IRW had been operating in Indonesia since 2000 and officially signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Ministry of Home Affairs in 2003. This MoU expired in November 2021. To continue IRW's work and best practices, former IRW staff members founded YRII.
During its operations in Indonesia, IRW contributed IDR 659 billion to the Indonesian government and society, benefitting 1.7 million people across 8 sectors focused on improving social welfare: disaster management, livelihood improvement, public health and nutrition, clean water and environmental sanitation, education, seasonal programs, shelter, and orphan welfare—all contributing to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
Country Purpose:
Islamic Relief Worldwide in Indonesia has been operating since 2003 and officially became Yayasan Relief Islami Indonesia in January 2022. The objective of the Yayasan Relief Islami Indonesia program is to contribute to the social welfare of the Indonesian people and to alleviate suffering. The main sectors for the program include:
• Water, Sanitation and Hygiene Promotion
• Sustainable livelihood
• Health and Nutrition Child Welfare
• Shelter
• Disaster Risk Reduction
• Climate Change
• Seasonal Program
The geographical area: NTB, Aceh, Central Sulawesi, West Java, and Jakarta Province will be expanded to all regions of Indonesia according to the development of the organization. The implementation of the program is carried out directly by YRII or through cooperation partners.
Project Overview:
Ultra-Poor Graduation Approach (UPG) is a new approach in poverty alleviation programme that is already proven to be effective in Bangladesh. There are 5 pillars in UPG: (1) Better Consumption, (2) Increasing Income, (3) Establish Financial Inclusion, (4) Effective Social Empowerment, and (5) Foster Social Development.
In Indonesia, the poverty alleviation programme is not integrative and comprehensive. Therefore, Islamic Relief Indonesia will try to apply Ultra Poor Graduation Approach as it is in Bangladesh, but with several adjustments based on the local context. The project will be targeting the poorest of the poor in 2 provinces, namely in the area where Islamic Relief Indonesia is already working: NTB and Banten province. Fifty percent of the rights holders is RHs of graduation model intervention, and the rest will be the ones who have received intervention from us but still need some support due to missing and/or gap against UPG approach. The rationalization for this are a) meeting all pillars of graduation model which is providing a comprehensive intervention to targeted RHs and b) providing longer and complementary intervention since the previous RHs only received short-term and limited support.
