American Red Cross

TERM OF REFERENCE

Baseline Consultant for Greater Jakarta Urban-Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR)
Collaboration between Indonesian Red Cross (PMI) and American Red Cross (ARC)

Background and Objectives of Project

Jakarta and the surrounding cities, known as JABODETABEK (Jakarta, Bogor, Depok, Tangerang, Bekasi), surround the Ciliwung River Basin and many adjacent locations are vulnerable to flooding and tidal surges, a problem that climate change will exacerbate, particularly through more intense rainfall and rising sea levels. On average, Jakarta is hit by extraordinary flooding every 5 years; the frequency and severity of tidal surges and other flooding is already increasing, most especially in lower lying areas like North Jakarta.

Based on the above context, the Greater Jakarta Urban DRR project aims to contribute in reducing deaths, injuries, and socio-economics problems caused by climate related disasters and environmental degradation, in the Greater Jakarta areas by fostering more resilient communities and a stronger PMI.

Scope and reach of project
The project will target 11 selected villages within three Districts across Ciliwung and thus will benefit 36,549 beneficiaries directly and 553,535 indirectly (such as community members, village volunteers, village committees, PMI Provinces and Branches, as well as NHQ). 

Survey Objectives
The baseline assessment is intended to establish measures of key indicators so that the project progress over time can be measured and that realistic targets can be set out. The result of the baseline is used to adjust strategies and intervention (whether it’s necessary) to ensure that project activities could
address the gap or issues identified during the data collection. The baseline is to provide the following information:

1. To measure the percentage of beneficiaries at community and school who took at least 3 actions for disasters preparedness.
2. To measure the percentage of household that disposed their solid waste into designated places.
3. To measure the percentage of beneficiaries at community and school who could mention agreed evacuation point correctly.
4. To measure the DRR related attitude and behaviors at community and school.
5. To obtain some of related demographic characteristic of targeted community such as age, education, sex, etc.
6. To obtain other relevant information that is related to the project.
