  • The State of the Humanitarian System Effective, and Predictable
    The humanitarian system has a fundamental responsibility to continually assess its ability to save lives and alleviate human suffering. The IFRC, as a global network, shares many of the issues and challenges identified by this initiative. I welcome this report for its ambition to THE STATE OF THE assess overall achievements on a regular basis and believe it will help individual organizations and networks to reflect on and improve their own performance. We have learned from our participation in the initiative and we hope it will continue to grow and strengthen over the HUMANITARIAN SYSTEM years to come. Bekele Geleta, Secretary General of the IFRC Assessing performance and progress I warmly welcome this first State of the Humanitarian System report because it shows deep A pilot study commitment towards self improvement within the humanitarian system. I encourage this effort to be sustained over time so that it can gradually live up to its potential to further improve the quality of services provided by all humanitarian actors. The ICRC remains committed to lead its own self improvement and to contribute to that of the humanitarian system as a whole. Angelo Gnaedinger, Director General of the ICRC Thanks to the collective efforts by members of the humanitarian community over the past five years, the humanitarian system has made significant strides in becoming increasingly rapid, SYSTEM HUMANITARIAN THE OF STATE THE effective, and predictable. That said, much more still needs to be done. ALNAP’s first State of the Humanitarian System report is unique in its scope and well researched. Findings such as these will contribute to the humanitarian community’s collective efforts to take stock of where we stand, face up to global challenges, and to decide how we can make more difference to the lives of people affected by emergencies.

  • Ecb Project Case Study
    ECB PROJECT CASE STUDY NGOs traditionally compete for funds; what happens when they join forces to raise money together? Catherine Gould and Katy Love September 2011 1 The big NGOs traditionally compete for funds; what happens when they join forces to raise money together? 1. Six NGOs began with $5 million in the bank; and $7 million still to find… CARE International, Catholic Relief Services (CRS), Mercy Corps, Oxfam, Save the Children, and World Vision International have come together in a unique collaboration to build field, agency, and sector level emergency preparedness and response capacity. The Emergency Capacity Building (ECB) Project aims to improve the speed, quality, and effectiveness of the humanitarian community in saving lives, improving welfare, and protecting the rights of people in emergency situations. In 2008, following a first phase of the ECB Project, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation accepted a proposal from the six NGOs worth $12.3 million for a further five‐year joint programme. Stepping outside their traditional grantmaking strategy to support this innovative project, the Gates Foundation provided $5 million of core funding and the agencies pledged to fundraise together the remaining $7.3 million. While CARE USA manages the contract with the Gates Foundation, the other five agencies signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) outlining the project’s management structure and ways of working for the five‐year joint venture. This case study recounts the agencies’ attempts to together close the $7.3 million funding gap, while launching and sustaining a $12 million programme. Three years in, the ECB Project is almost fully funded, but it has not always been a smooth journey… 2.

  • The Impacts of Climate Change on Public Health in Indonesia: Action Is Necessary, Feasible and Desirable
    Jurnal MKMI , Vol 6 No.4, Oktober 2010, hal 249-252 Tinjauan Pustaka II THE IMPACTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE ON PUBLIC HEALTH IN INDONESIA: ACTION IS NECESSARY, FEASIBLE AND DESIRABLE Syamsuar Manyullei Dosen Bagian Kesehatan Lingkungan FKM Unhas Makassar ABSTRACT The global climate has always fluctuated. Millions of years ago, some parts of the world that are now quite warm were covered with ice, and over more recent centuries, average tem- peratures have risen and fallen in cycles, as a result of fluctuations of solar radiation, or the periodic eruption of volcanoes.Societies around the world are becoming increasingly focused on the looming effects of climate change. Climate change threatens to undermine Indonesia’s efforts to combat poverty. Its impact is intensifying the risks and vulnerabilities facing poor people, placing further stress on already overstretched coping mechanisms. In effect, climate change is holding back the efforts of poor people to build a better life for themselves and their families. The aim of this essay gives consideration to the impact of climate change on popu- lation health in Indonesia. This essay critically analyses the impacts of climate change on popu- lation health in Indonesia and considers how to reduce the potential human impacts of climate change. Key Words : Impacts, Climate Change And Public Health THE IMPACTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE ON duces toxic waste products 4,5 .

  • Inequality in Indonesia: Kuznets Waves Or Kuznets Curve?
    Inequality in Indonesia: Kuznets Waves or Kuznets Curve? Dharendra Wardhana1 Affiliation 1Deputy Director of Social Protection at Directorate of Population Planning and Social Protection, Ministry of National Development Planning/Bappenas Corespondence: [email protected] Abstract This paper sets out an argument that Kuznets's hypothesis - either Kuznets curve or Kuznets waves - is testable and might only hold depending upon the context. In order to better understand the proposition of Kuznets and its relevance to Indonesia, it is necessary to consider what happens across long periods (la longue durée) and to comprehend how watershed events affect the economy and the distribution of wealth. Analysis in this paper relies on various data sources ranging from conventional economic indicators, historical archives, to literary works. Fluctuation and trends on Gini index in Indonesia might not be fully explained with Kuznets hypothesis although several aspects might influence inequality trends.

Background Another issue in inequality measurement is on the diverse calculation methods In view of historical analysis, inequality surrounding options of variables on in Indonesia has been invariably perceived as a consumption, income, and assets. The debate consequence rather than a target. Arguably it reached a culmination with Piketty's Capital in appears, inequality—as proxied with indicators the Twenty-First Century (2014), which rattles such as the Gini coefficient or Palma index—is academic discourse. Reviews and criticisms on considered amongst one of the most intractable Piketty's argument revolved around the indicators.
