Search for Common Ground Indonesia
Developing Practitioner's Guideline on Provision of Psychosocial Supports during Rehabilitation and Rehabilitation (R&R) Processes for Ex Terrorism Inmates, Deportees and Returnees (XTDRs)
Search for Common Ground (SFCG) Indonesia invites application from individual consultants/firms/ research organizations dealing with countering violent extremism, rehabilitation, and social reintegration to develop a Guideline for Practitioners on Provision of Psychosocial Supports during Rehabilitation & Reintegration (R&R) of Ex Terrorism Inmates, Deportees and Returnees (XTDRs).
The guideline will be used to equip those interested or assigned to take part in the R&R processes of XTDRs in Indonesia with basic skills on how to provide powerful psychosocial support during the R&R processes of the XTDRs.
The Organization
Search for Common Ground (SFCG) is an international peacebuilding organization that promotes the peaceful resolution of conflicts. SFCG's mission is to transform how individuals, organizations, and governments deal with conflict - away from adversarial approaches and toward cooperative solutions. SFCG seeks to help conflicting parties understand their differences and act on their commonalities. SFCG implements projects from 56 offices in 35 countries, including in Africa, Asia, Europe, Latin America, the Middle East, and the United States.
SFCG has been working in Indonesia since 2002 and is implementing programs in conflict transformation, peacebuilding, prison reform, conflict-sensitive journalism, electoral participation, and initiatives with youth, media, government agencies, informal religious leaders, and women's groups across the country.
Background
"XTDRs" are individuals who were released from prisons over their involvement in violent extremism actions or support for such actions undertaken by groups or individuals formally or informally affiliated with the terrorism networks, in the name of "extreme" political or religious ideals—that is, ideas that cannot coexist with the policies of democratic countries such as Indonesia that strongly rooted in cultural diversity and its Five Principles namely Pancasila. XTDRs are also those intercepted, returned, or deported from their attempted trip abroad to join the ISIS groups or reside at the ISIS-controlled territories.
As part of the measures to 'deradicalize' these XTDRs or disengage them from terrorism networks, the government also carries out R&R programs, both inside and outside prisons, especially after their release or returning to their hometowns. Based on the National Action Plan on Countering Violent Extremism of 2021 (RANPE), the government also welcomes the involvement of practitioners from local government agencies, universities, and civil society organizations (CSOs) in R&R programs that can help prevent these XTDRs from repeating their terrorism activities.
In light of this opportunity, Search for Common Ground intends to develop a guideline that will equip R&R practitioners with an updated tool to help XTDRs more capable of reintegrating into the communities where they intend to return and restart their new peaceful life as 'a normal citizen'. The guideline on R&R will focus on recommended technics in providing psychosocial support to XTDRs during their R&R processes, including risk and need assessment, counseling, and coaching for the XTDRs and the immediate families and communities that are influential to their successes in R&R processes.
This initiative is part of the SFCG program intended to "Building Resilience through Multi-Stakeholder Collaboration to Prevent Violent Extremism in Indonesia." Through this project, SFCG aims to contribute to the building of Indonesian government and local capacity to promote alternative positive narratives that can counter the spreading of violent extremism ideologies and improve national R&R programs that can decrease the risks of ex-terrorists, returnees, and deportees to embrace violent extremist ideologies.
Development of the guideline on R&R
The consultant is required to collect and review the existing relevant documents (books, reports etc.) and other materials on R&R processes for XTDRs. Based on the review, the consultant must propose an outline of contents for the guideline.
Once the outline is mutually agreed with the SFCG team, the consultant is required to develop a draft of the guideline, lead their consultation and testing processes with SFCG stakeholders, and finally incorporate inputs or feedback generated from the processes. The consultant then finalizes the guideline.
