Assessment JNA dan JENA WVI initiated coordination to prepare the Joint Need Assessment that involved 48 partners from other NGOs and local partners. Data cleaning is completed. https://datastudio.google.com/u/0/reporting/4f8b436e- 19fa-4b1f-8794-0ea0a5e6d0e7/page/mPyyB Currently, the sectoral group ( 21 partners) is established to prepare for presentation material that would be consolidated and discussed further on January 27th 2021.

On January 29th 2021, the JNA result also presented to Coordinating Ministry for Human development and cultural affairs (Kemenko PMK) and Local Government of Mamuju District and partners that initiated by Yayasan Karampuang, the local partners of WVI in Mamuju District. 1. Feasibility and Risk Assessment /Market Assessment WVI collaborated with Save the Children and other NGOs to conduct the Feasibility and Risk Assessment for the preparation of the Cash Voucher Program. To conduct the assessment in the field, WVI collaborated with local partners: Yayasan Karampuan in Mamuju and Sigap Kerlip in Majene District. WVI also assess the collaboration with a financial institution in the Majene district, it started with BNI. Data collection will be completed by January 27th and the cleaning data was in progress until February 1st. In February 1st 2021.. Based on the assessment, there are 5 finance provider that exist in Mamuju and MAjene, and two of them ready to presented their program to cluster FRA. The detail information about the finance provider can be access via link : https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1rOhEN31Nfaxj- wS7itWnxWGAiW_QdWsfNVqjXanM1yY/edit#gid=0 General Finding FRA : There are concerns from households and community leaders regarding the implementation that is not well targeted (including overlapping assistance), the socialization process, coordination and transparency that is not well done Village offices were the main choice for households and community leaders as locations for distribution of assistance, both in areas with remote access or those with close access. During the data collection period, the market situation was not 100% stable. During the data collection period, more than 50% of shops / vendors stated that the main impact they felt related to the supply chain of goods was limited / delayed delivery of the supply of goods, besides that the decrease in people's purchasing power and distribution of assistance by NGOs and the government also had an effect on reducing their turnover this time Recommendation : 2. Non-cash assistance is a preference and can be provided for disaster survivors Conflict risk mitigation needs to be managed by means of a transparent process, starting from identification of beneficiaries, verification of data, socialization to distribution of assistance. The coordination process with the local village government needs to be well managed as a measure to manage conflict risk. Coordination between non-cash aid actors in West Sulawesi needs to be improved to ensure that there are no overlapping areas. Endorsements and appeals from the local government (Provincial Government) will play a very important role in the acceptance of the local community (e.g. through the guidelines in the SK) 3. The location for the distribution of assistance chosen should be the one close to where the beneficiaries live (Village office), in order to facilitate beneficiary mobilization and reduce transportation costs incurred by beneficiaries.
Market Assessment. In January 29th 2021, WVI conduct the market assessment on Ulumanda District to complete the result from the FRA that still on cleaning process to get recommendation about CVP program. The result of the market assessment: Preferred modality: Cash Assistance Reason: Cash assistance is very important because it can be used to buy goods / needs that currently do not exist / have not received assistance in the community and can also be used as capital. Decreased appetite, because the place, and also the food eaten is always the same. The number of meals remains 3 times with a menu of rice, noodles, eggs. Other side dishes are not available, there is assistance of canned fish, but the community doesn't really like it. People who work as fishermen do not have the courage to go to sea because they are afraid of the tsunami and because people are still in refugee camps. The community is also still waiting for information from the village government regarding the development of the post-earthquake situation. The community will return if they get instructions from the village government. From the initial finding of market assessment, BRI link become the 1st option as the financial provider and 2nd was post office. The recommendation for nominal transfer: IDR 325,000 (USD 23,21) + Local transport to market/bank IDR 572,000 (USD 40,86) + Local transport to market/Bank IDR 700,000 (USD 50,00) + Local transport to market/bank Based on the assessment result (FRA, Market assessment), WVI decide the nominal Voucher/transfer are IDR 700.000.
