Response overview
The CCCM sub-cluster was established in Indonesia in 2015. It operates under the National Cluster for Displacement and Protection, with the Ministry of Social Affairs serving as the lead ministry and IOM Indonesia as the co-lead. Other sub-clusters under this national cluster include shelter, WASH, psychosocial support, child protection, GBV prevention and women protection, and support for persons with disabilities, elders, and other high-risk groups. Membership in the CCCM sub-cluster includes sub-national Disaster Management Agencies, the Social Office, and local national NGOs such as Human Initiative (HI), Muhammadiyah Disaster Management Center (MDMC), and Yakkum Emergency Unit (YEU).
The CCCM sub-cluster's role is to provide a coherent and sustainable response to disaster-induced displacement by increasing the engagement of government and local NGOs in CCCM. It supports official government efforts in disaster response by providing technical assistance, contextualizing CCCM tools, and building the capacity of local partners. The sub-cluster also promotes coordination among government and humanitarian stakeholders
The sub-cluster also supports developing national displacement guidelines, contextualizing camp management standards, building capacity with BNPB (National Disaster Management Agency) and MoSA (Ministry of Social Affairs) for local disaster authorities and volunteers, and promoting cluster coordination among government and humanitarian stakeholders.
Key Achievements and Milestones
Capacity Building: The CCCM sub-cluster has been involved in capacity building for CCCM for many years providing a series of trainings that fostered dialogue between local NGOs and sub-national agencies.
Moreover, in advanced localization throughout the CCCM sub-cluster members, one of the initiatives that has been made is that HI (Human Initiative) a national NGO is starting to build SEAHUM (Southeast Asia Humanitarian Committee) members' capacity and readiness on CCCM which was held in 2024 attended by 30 participants including field staff, program coordinators, and humanitarian practitioners from Indonesia and Malaysia.
Local Leadership: Following the Cianjur earthquake in October 2022, the local CCCM sub-cluster was led by the national NGO Muhammadiyah Disaster Management Center (MDMC) with technical support from IOM, showcasing the cooperative nature of localization efforts. In 2023, IOM supported CCCM partners to reflect on the role of the cluster coordinator and provided training to expand the capacity of local partners to lead the CCCM response.
Contextualization: Under the supervision of the CCCM sub-cluster, Indonesian CCCM partners worked together to contextualize CCCM tools and resources, including the GBV Pocket Guide and the CCCM Minimum Standards for Camp Management.
Workplans: CCCM partners in Indonesia have developed and implemented yearly workplans under the sub-cluster's umbrella, emphasizing a shared understanding of the CCCM framework and shared responsibilities
Emergency Response: The CCCM sub-cluster has supported official government efforts in disaster response, providing technical assistance for emergencies such as the Lombok Earthquake (2018), Palu Tsunami and liquefaction (2018), North Luwu Floods (2020), Sukajaya flash flood and landslide (2020), Covid-19 quarantine safety audit in Bogor (2020), Semeru Volcano eruption (2020), West Sulawesi Earthquake (2021), Supporting local Government in Tsunami contingency planning during Covid-19 in Pacitan (2022), Cianjur Earthquake (2022), and Supporting Humanitarian Forum Indonesia (HFI) in Demak Floods (2024).
Country synopsis
Indonesia is a disaster-prone country with a strong national response capacity, largely led by the government and supported by a network of local organizations. Given the constant threat of natural disasters like earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, and urban flooding, preparedness for disaster response is crucial.
