CRS Indonesia is Looking for the Baseline Data Collection Enumerator
Increasing Resiliency through CCA and DRR in Nusa Tenggara (INCIDENT) Project
BACKGROUND
Catholic Relief Services is the official international humanitarian agency of the Catholic community in the United States. CRS works to save, protect, and transform lives in need in more than 100 countries, without regard to race, religion or nationality. CRS' relief and development work is accomplished through programs of emergency response, HIV, health, agriculture, education, microfinance and peacebuilding.
CRS has been supporting program activities in Indonesia since 1957 under the Memorandum of Understanding with the Ministry of Social Affairs and has long-standing relationships with the Government of Indonesia, the Church and non-Church partners and communities throughout the country. The Indonesia country program focuses primarily in the areas of community development, humanitarian assistance/emergency response, disaster management, climate change adaptation and agricultural livelihoods, as well as capacity building for local partners in emergency response programming.
East Nusa Tenggara (NTT) and West Nusa Tenggara (NTB) are amongst the very least developed parts of the Indonesian archipelago, with 60% of the combined 32 regencies in both provinces classified as highly prone to disasters. Communities rely on subsistence agriculture constrained by poor soil fertility, inadequate agriculture inputs and recurrent climate events and risks, especially drought and erratic rainfall. The region is the most food insecure in Indonesia, with recurrent food shortages during the lean season. Prevailing socio-economic and environmental conditions exasperate the impacts of climate change on the agriculture sector.
In response to the current and projected climate change impacts and intrinsic vulnerability of NTT and NTB, World Neighbors (WN) and Catholic Relief Services (CRS) are implementing the Increasing Resiliency through CCA and DRR in Nusa Tenggara (INCIDENT), a 24-month activity funded by BHA to improve the long-term resilience of vulnerable communities in NTT and NTB. The project builds on the successes and leverages lessons learned from previous WN and CRS programming in the region.
The goal of INCIDENT is that vulnerable communities in NTT and NTB achieve long-term resilience to climate and disaster shocks and stresses. The project activities will fall under three purposes: 1) By 2024, vulnerable communities in targeted regencies effectively prepare for and adapt to the impacts of climate change and disasters through improved agricultural practices; 2) By 2024, communities, local government authorities (LGAs), NGOs/CBOs and other key stakeholders in targeted regencies effectively prepare, mitigate and adapt to disaster and climate risks; and 3) By 2024, vulnerable households in targeted regencies are more financially resilient.
The INCIDENT baseline will serve as a means of establishing baseline values for key project performance indicators and collecting information on the current situation on project catchment areas. Baseline values will be used to set reasonable targets for performance indicators. The baseline and endline will measure the progress of project against project's targets of all relevant indicators. The baseline study will use mixed methodology of household surveys, key informant interviews and focus group discussions.
