HEALTH AND NUTRITION

During the COVID-19 pandemic response, Wahana Visi Indonesia (WVI) has implemented the interventions for Health and Nutrition which in four objectives, namely: scaling up preventative measures to limit the spread of the virus, strengthening health systems and workers, support children impacted by COVID-19, and collaborate and advocate to ensure the most vulnerable children are protected.

For the first objective, WVI creates and distributes Information, Education, and Communication (IEC) materials so that more people will have an understanding of how to prevent the virus. The IEC materials include COVID-19 communication books used by regional task forces, posters, billboard and stickers distributed in public places where many people usually pass, short advertisements in form of short videos that are broadcasted in the social media or other related media, short messages conveyed via radio, television, and loudspeakers in the community or houses of worship. The IEC messages that were disseminated were also varied ranging from ways to prevent infection, how to contact health workers if they were suspected of being infected, referral mechanisms for sick under-five children, nutrition guideline during a pandemic for households with under-five children, to ways to remove the stigma and discrimination related to COVID-19 which was widely circulated in the community in WVI’s assisted areas. The interesting thing in producing the IEC is how to contextualize the various backgrounds of the people in the WVI assisted in each region. Most of the distributed IECs are made in the context of the local area both from the description and use of the local language.

In total, 79,787 IEC materials are printed and distributed. 816,809 people reached by WVI through various channel of communication.

To support health workers, WVI has collaborated with the private sector (other foundations or companies)to distribute approximately 379,675 masks of various types including cloth masks, surgical masks and KN95 masks to all WVI assisted areas from South Nias to Papua (West to East), from East Halmahera to Kupang. (North to South). Not only masks, WVI also distributed Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) types such as gown to approximately 361 health facilities spread across more than 28 assisted areas. It is of special note that during this response, WVI also had the opportunity to distribute PPE assistance to areas that before pandemic have been served only by special projects.

For children affected by COVID-19, WVI directly distributed food packages for 2,925 people with U2 children supported by various partners. In addition to direct distribution of food packages managed by cadres, there is also distribution of only food ingredients to each family. There is also distribution in form of vouchers so that families can freely choose types of food that they need more. In the areas that implement PDH, nutrition recovery sessions are still carried out by applying the guidelines provided by the global. Face-to-face restrictions are undertaken. Most of the child development follow-up are done online. Wahana Visi Indonesia COPE | 2020

In addition, all the efforts that have been made in the health and nutrition sector are able to continue with the support of related partners. During the response, WVI try to socialize referral channels for sick children, convey existing guidelines at the national level so that the guidelines are understood at the local level, hold various online or offline meetings and being active in the regional task forceto find joint solutions to overcome the impact of COVID-19 especially for vulnerable children. 8 COPE | 2020 Wahana Visi Indonesia

WATER, SANITATION AND HYGIENE

WVI is involved in the intervention of water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) to achieve the first objective of the response: scaling up preventive measures to limit the spread of disease. In this objective, water, sanitation and hygiene interventions target two indicators:

number of community-level public handwashing stations established or maintained number of hand-washing supplies distributed

The building of Hand Washing with Soap (HWWS) station is adjusted with the situation of each area. It has been implemented in two models of station namely: tippy tap (the tap water stepping on the feet) model and hand water tap model. At the beginning, it was not easy to prepare HWWS station in several remote assisted areas due to the availability of items and challenge when distributing the item.

The tippy tap model HWWS station is the new innovation from Urban Jakarta. In addition, the child-friendly and disability-friendly HWWS facilities are also built in Palu, . Each HWWS station is also equipped with HWWS campaign media such as banners, stickers or leaflets. The main purpose of this campaign is to promote the right time and way to wash hands.

The total of public HWWS facilities built and distributed by WVI from the beginning to the end of the response is 2,938 units consisting of various models. In general, these HWWS facilities are available in public facilities (village offices, health facilities, etc.). WVI collaborates with the local village government and the community groups to provide the HWWS facilities so that the facilities will be well maintained. The total beneficiaries in this indicator are 127,652 children and 390,682 adults, or 528,514 people in total.

The distribution of equipment to complement the HWWS facility was also carried out with the target community especially children including hand soap, jerry cans, buckets and taps. Through the distribution of the equipment, the community can use them to complete their respective CTPS facilities independently. The number of hand washing supplies distributed are 30,514. The total beneficiaries in this indicator are 18,751 children and 51,632 adults, the total number of beneficiaries is 70,383 people.

The area intervention for WASH sector is located in 42 regencies or cities: Alor, Belu, Bengkayang, Donggala, Ende, Enrekang, Pinrang, Kolaka, East Kolaka, East Flores, West Jakarta, Central Jakarta, South Jakarta, East Jakarta, North Jakarta, Jayapura, Jayawijaya, Kupang city, Palu, Kubu Raya, Kupang Wahana Visi Indonesia COPE | 2020

The clean water supply program through the WASH sector intervention in previous projects really help the HWWS activity within the community. In reality, the use of clean water is around one liter per person per HWWS facility. 10 COPE | 2020 Wahana Visi Indonesia

LIVELIHOOD

The results of the Rapid Need Assessment (RNA) on April 2020 stated that the COVID-19 pandemic has affected 9 out of 10 respondents. They experienced the reduced income or job loss. It happened in both rural and urban areas. The decline in income is caused by the decreasing demand, restriction on movement and disruption of market access because there is no market selling their products.

It is also stated that the respondent’s families made some efforts to overcome reduced income by decreasing the amount and quality of food, spending their savings and making loans. The reduction in the quantity and quality of food is part of the household spending reduction, which has decreased from an average of Rp300,000 per week to Rp200,000 per week. In terms of the respondent’s family food supply, 8 out of 10 respondents stated that the food supply was less than a month.

Based on this condition, the interventions that WVI carried out aim to ensure that the assisted communities are able to survive this crisis by providing staple food package (sembako) assistance through Cash Voucher Program (CVP) mechanism. This activity is carried out in East Jakarta, North Jakarta (DKI), Surabaya (East ), and Sambas regency (West ), Palu city, , (Central Sulawesi), Ternate regency (), East Lombok regency (West Nusa Tenggara), Kupang regency, South Central Timor (TTS), Alor, East Sumba, Southwest Sumba (East Nusa Tenggara), Sentani and Agats-Asmat regency (Papua).

The intervention on livelihood sector is supported and funded through sponsorship program and donors such as HSBC, Mastercard, 3M, XL-Axiata Foundation, Yayasan Anak Bangsa Bisa (YABB) and World Vision through the Moringa Project. The CVP for sembako is carried out using several mechanisms such as direct distribution, paper voucher, electronic voucher and direct fund transfer to the beneficiaries. As of September 2020, 5,744 people benefited from this program with the total funds distributed USD 78,743.

The CVP program gives positive impact on many stakeholders including traders/vendors and Financial Service Providers (FSPs) including post offices, Credit Unions, banks and fintech company “DuitHape” which provides e-voucher services.

Alex Mehue, who lives in Sentani regency, Papua, said “Thank you donors including WVI and YABB, who have helped us. Hopefully, there will be more supports to help other people affected by the pandemic.”

“I am happy because WVI support our family through the distribution of sembako. I was very surprised when WVI delivered vouchers to us. I never expect it because we have just lived for 2 years in Kuanfatu. Wahana Visi Indonesia COPE | 2020

In addition, we do not have a family card but WVI cares about us. To be honest, I am worried because COVID-19 makes us difficult to make money. My husband only works as a farmer and construction worker,” said Naomi Ton, 39, who lives in Kuanfatu Village, South Central Timor regency. She gave birth a month ago.

Veronika, 29, a shop owner in Tapah, Pancaroba village said, “I am grateful to WVI for trusting my shop as a partner to help the community in my village. I have known WVI who really care about the community here especially children. Recently, I am involved in the WVI program. My profit improve because I get more benefit from my shop’s income. Usually, my turnover is only a maximum of Rp 1 million per day, but for the past four days, the total turnover from exchanging coupons is around Rp 13 million. I am grateful and I will use the profit that I get for improving my shop and fulfilling my family needs.” 12 COPE | 2020 Wahana Visi Indonesia

WVI works together with the Directorate of Secondary and Special Education and the National Secretariat of the Ministry Education and Culture (Kemendikbud) produced a video guidelines for BdR that is broadcasted on the Ministry of Education and Culture’s website, ‘Bersama Hadapi Corona’ with the link https://bersamahadapikorona.kemdikbud.go.id/video-infogografi- penjelas-pedoman-bdr.

WVI held several webinar activities in collaboration with the Kemendikbud, Education Quality Control Agency (LPMP) and the Education Office during the COVID-19 pandemic to provide support to teachers, students and parents. Several webinars are namely ‘Challenges and Good Practices of Distance Learning in the 3T area’ on May 20, 2020, ‘RPP Freedom to Learn’ on June 24, 2020, ‘Online Learning in the Pandemic Period’, on July 28, 2020 and ‘Becoming a Tough Parent to Support Children’s Learning Readiness’ on August 19, 2020. All of the webinars are well organized because of the cooperation of all parties including the Kemendikbud, the Provincial Education Office, Regency Education Office, Provincial LPMP (, NTT and Papua) and the schools assisted by WVI.In addition, WVI in collaboration with the Ministry of Education and Culture has also produced four books: ‘Collection of Tough Teacher Stories’, ‘Collection of RPP Freedom to Learn’, ‘Being Tough Parents’ and ‘Pocket Book of Psychosocial Support for Teachers and Students during the Pandemic’. All books aresigned by the Director General of GTK, Kemendikbud, Mr Dr. Iwan Syahril, Ph.D and available on the WVI website (https://www.wahanavisi.org/id/media-materi/publikasi.html). This book has been used by various practitioners, NGOs and the media as a reference. Besides collaborating with the Kemendikbud, the pocket book of psychosocial support is also fully supported and reviewed by the Faculty of Psychology, University of Indonesia. Apart from that, WVI also create a ‘Fun Activity Book for Early Childhood, 6-11 years old, and 12-18 years old’.

Apart from organizing various webinars at the national and local levels, WVI also participated as a resource person for the webinar activities organized by the Ministry of Education and Culture (Directorate of Basic Education and Basic Education, Directorate of GTK Early Childhood Care and Wahana Visi Indonesia COPE | 2020

Development/PAUD) and Ministry of Religion (Directorate of GTK Madrasah). Currently WVI is the coordinator of the Holistic Integrative ECCD (PAUD HI) Coalition supporting the programs or activities of the Directorate of ECCD of Kemendikbud and the Coordinating Human Development and Culture Minister (Kemenko PMK). As the coordinator of the PAUD HI coalition, WVI takes part in the good practices of HI in Indonesia and also in events organized by the Kemendikbud. As a continuation of the collaboration with GTK Dikdas, WVI is currently still in the process and participating in writing a general anthology book (elementary and junior high school) and the anthology of junior high school which contains a collection of WVI education good practices in 3T areas during the pandemic.

WVI also contributes in holding some webinar series in collaboration with the National Secretariat of SPAB and Plan Indonesia with eight series of webinars during April-July 2020. In this session WVI becomes the speaker four times for psychosocial support, distance learning, parenting and recreational activities for PAUD students.

Around 10,000 participants from various backgrounds participated in this webinar activity. 14 COPE | 2020 Wahana Visi Indonesia

Based on data from a rapid assessment conducted by WVI on May 2020 for 943 children, it was known that 68% of children participated in distance learning (online/offline). Around 37% had difficulty managing study time, 30% had difficulty understanding school lessons, 24% was about internet connection, 21% had difficulty understanding teacher instructions, 11% had too much school work. From this data, it was also found that 63% needed text books, 28% needed picture books. The results of this rapid assessment were also reviewed in several newspapers such as Tempo, Antara, and Republika.

Based on the results of this study, WVI provides learning support for children including increasing children’s access to learn (distribution of children’s story books, distribution of educational teaching aids, fun activity books for all child age levels, developing fun activity videos at home with children, and distributing radio, mobilizing child-friendly library). WVI also provides the psychosocial support and recreational activities such as: forming a children’s reading group forum, holding coloring and drawing competitions, singing competitions, speech competitions, crossword puzzles competitions, hand-washing with soap material compilation competitions, the installation of hand-washing with soap facility) and children’s forum webinars. For teachers and parents, support is provided in the form of cash assistance (to make distance learning lesson materials) and capacity building of teachers in learning from home with distance learning training, psychosocial and parenting, distribution of teaching materials and strengthening advocacy (support for regulation makingin national level and the establishment of education posts in provinces and regencies).

In one of the books called Tough Teacher, it is told about WVI’s assistance for teachers to keep their enthusiasm in serving children’s learning from home. One of the interventions carried out was to form a Reading Group in the assisted area of WVI in Sambas. From March to July 15 children’s learning groups were formed by involving teachers or child assistants who were willing to provide their homes, time and energy to accompany children in their villages who did not have the opportunity to learn during this pandemic. Each study group is accompanied by a volunteer who accompanies three to five children while still practicing health protocols (using masks, keeping distance, hand-washing with soap, giving disinfectants to each room).

“Thank you WVI for assisting our village. We hope that the local government and the agencies will also take part in this study group activity. If not us, who else will fight for the children at the border for the future of our nation?” said Septi, a non-permanent teacher in Sambas regency and one of the volunteers who are willing to form a children’s group so that children can still learn in the midst of this pandemic.

The COVID-19 pandemic situation not only creates pressure on students but also force the adoption of educational methods such as distance learning and home learning. This situation makes teachers have their own vulnerabilities. The income of committee teachers have reduced. Some even do not get a salary due to the stagnant condition because the parents’ income have reduced during the pandemic. Some parents do not want to pay tuition because their children are considered having holidays since they do not study at school. Teacher’s salary is important because they have to make visits to student’s house. Some houses are very far from school so they need to take motorcycle taxi. Also, the teachers are still confused about how to teach during the pandemic. Because at the beginning, there were still Wahana Visi Indonesia COPE | 2020 15

limited direct monitoring to the condition of students at home so that in March to May there were still many students who are neglected with their learning rights.

Based on the results of the teacher vulnerability mapping, the East Manggarai and West Manggarai Program areas carried out a cash transfer program or “Cash Project”. This program is divided into two type:

1 Cash For Training (CFT) This assistance aims at increasing the capacity of teachers to do home learning through distance learning. The increased capacity is the knowledge about COVID-19, socialization of the Minister of Education and Culture No. 4 of 2020 about simple learning tools that can be used in home learning.

2 Cash for Work (CFW) The assistance is given to non-permanent teachers who are affected by the economy during this pandemic situation. Teachers who have been trained to implement the results of the training are monitored by sending photos / videos and lesson plans that they have made. At the end of the implementation the teachers received cash assistance which was transferred to their accounts. A total of 83 elementary school teachers and 14 PAUD teachers in WVI’s assisted schools took part in the “Cash Project” program batch 1 on July 2020 and currently batch 2 is in progress and attended by around 99 elementary school teachers in two regenciesin collaboration with local partners called. This innovation is highly appreciated by the Regency Education Office and the NTT Provincial Education Office because it does not only support the basic needs of teachers but also improves the quality and capacity of teachers to teach during pandemic. 16 COPE | 2020 Wahana Visi Indonesia

Learning Innovations in Papua during the COVID-19 pandemic

The pandemic really affected the children living in the 3T area especially their education. The inadequate condition of the network infrastructure and access has made the condition of education sector getting worse during this period. However, under such conditions, the teachers, assisted by WVI, in several regions in Papua, for example in Wamena, Jayawijaya has made several efforts to provide lessons for the students through RRI radio station. The program carried out by WVI together with the Education Office and RRI is the answer to the vacuum of learning since the first time pandemic hit Papua. Learning via radio is one of the offline learning methods where the teacher acts as a broadcaster in the studio and students catch radio broadcasts in their houses.

To support this program, WVI distributed radio sets to 3,432 children to listen the lessons aired by teachers at RRI. The areas that received radio distribution are Jayawijaya, Jayapura and Biak Numfor regencies. Teachers are equipped with materials, in collaboration with the head of the cluster and the Subject Teacher Conference (MGMP), before starting to teach at RRI.

To support teachers and students in the COVID-19 red zones that already have internet access, WVI equips the teachers with basic ICT skills. As of September, more than 250 teachers have received basic ICT training in three WVI assisted regencies. In this training, teachers are assisted to use the Google classroom application and several other Google applications to teach students online.

The good partnership between education partners is one of the keys to move forward. For example, in , a forum named Education Post has been formed, which brings together several institutions and the government to find the best solution for education problems during pandemic situation. With this forum, communication between the community and the government can be bridged and the policies taken are based on the results of joint deliberations at the Education Post.

CHILD PROTECTION

PATBM Guidelines in the COVID-19 Pandemic Through COPE, WVI is working with the Ministry of Women’s Empowerment and Child Protection (Kemen PPPA) to create a Community-Based Integrated Child Protection (PATBM) guidelines in the COVID-19 Pandemic. In the webinar session on the launching event of the PATBM Guidelines in the COVID-19 Pandemic, the Deputy for Child Protection of the Ministry of PPPA, Nahar, said, “The publication of PATBM guidelines in the COVID-19 pandemic is a form of affirmation and clarifying the role and duties of PATBM. The goal is that PATBM activists, cadres, and volunteers are able to understand the steps that need to be taken wisely when the COVID-19 enters their community and threatens the fulfillment of children’s rights and protection.” Currently there are 548 PATBM activists spread across 34 provinces, 68 regencies/cities and 136 villages. All PATBM activists have participated as COVID-19 prevention volunteers at the village/sub-district level. 20 COPE | 2020 Wahana Visi Indonesia

PATBM Training in the COVID-19 Pandemic

To equip the capacity of PATBM cadres in WVI’s assisted areas, PATBM training in the COVID-19 pandemic has been held online and offline. This training was welcomed by WVI partners in North Halmahera regency “Thank you for the good cooperation for these two days. Training of Trainers (ToT) with the new online model is conducted for the first time. There are no awkward or clumsy situation during the 2-day process. All participants are very active. For the context of COVID 19, we have been doing separate activities and today we can gather and discuss issues related to this international emergency situation. Hopefully this kind of activity can continue even though it is held online,” said Endang Huwae, the Head of Data & Information on Violence against Children of DP3AKB North Halmahera regency.

In some areas, online training is a new thing for PATBM cadres. It is experienced by Ribka Ahue, an activist of PATBM in Korek village, Kubu Raya regency. “I have a kind of mixed feeling. At first, I was confused about using the Zoom app. The signal at our location is not clear.Ialso think about how much mobile data plan that I have to prepare. On the other side, I am very curious to join the training. I think it is very funny talking with laptops. Although it is unusual for us to use Zoom application or other online applications, slowly we have to get used to it.”

Coordination Meeting At the national level WVI becomes a facilitator and/or co-leader in the education, health and shelter sub-cluster, cash assistance, as well as in the community engagement working group, and child protection coordination meeting. At the regional level, WVI is included in the coordination structure of the Task Force/Task Force for Handling the COVID-19 pandemic in 14 assisted areas. AP offices coordinate with local governments and other civil society organizations to ensure assistance conforms to child rights standards and principles. In total there are 119 external engagement activities related to the handling of the COVID-19 at the national and regional levels, with circles 1 and/or 2 where WVI facilitates, presents or leads.

Data-based Advocacy and Advocacy by Children The results of the rapid needs assessment of the COVID-19 drive the approach of advocacy to the government’s policy. After the launching event, WVI together with National Development Planning Agency (Bappenas) and the Ministry of PPPA, this data became a reference in community Wahana Visi Indonesia COPE | 2020 24 COPE | 2020 Wahana Visi Indonesia

and government discussions in the RCCE cluster, education, as well as coordination meetings on child protection and health webinars. The national media, Kompas, has published the results of this research in a special report that focused on the situation of children. WVI prepared a policy brief based on the results of a rapid assessment sent to Bappenas, the National Disaster Management Agency (BNPB), Kemen PPPA, Ministry of Social Affairs and Kemendikbud.

WVI also encourages the advocacy by children. Children’s voices become the basic of policy recommendations in cluster/sub-cluster/working group meetings, or coordination meetings with government and various webinars. Children’s participation is carried out through three main activities: voicing through social media about children’s opinions and recommendations regarding the situation and handling the COVID-19 pandemic; initiation of children’s polling; and an advocacy campaign by children with six child-focused organizations that are members of the Indonesia Joining Forces to End Violence Against Children. Data-based advocacy initiatives by children results in two studies listening to children’s voices/ children’s opinion polls on the COVID-19 pandemic and two policy papers/notes related to the COVID-19 pandemic. The policy paper “Free Learning for the Most Vulnerable Children” is the result of a children’s polling study. The policy brief “The Voices of Indonesian Children: Children’s Responses on the Rights of Child Protection during COVID-19 pandemic” is the result of advocacy campaign activities by children.

The Campaign of End Violence against Children (It Takes A World Campaign) Advocacy studies based on data by children, and rapid assessment reports, show that children are very vulnerable to experience physical and sexual violence during COVID-19 pandemic. WVI conducts lobbying, hearings and coordination meetings to ensure that the government is responsive to protect children from any kind of violence, and that child protection service mechanisms continue to run. WVI, together with the PKTA Alliance, send national advocacy messages to the government twice. First is done with the PKTA Alliance, then the second is done with Indonesia Joining Forces to End Violence against Children, asking the government to ensure child protection during COVID-19 pandemic.

In the PKTA/ITAW campaign and the celebration of National Children’s Day, WVI initiate the Children’s Letters from the outermost, frontline and disadvantaged regions, telling about their situation and hopes. There are 170 children’s letters which are then submitted to the President’s Office. The KemenPPPA also collaborates with WVI for the first time to distribute social assistance for internally displaced children during the COVID-19 pandemic in Sigi, Palu and Donggala, Central Sulawesi province. The KemenPPA has distributed Rp 100 million for this program. In total there are 12 national (and regional actions as a follow-up to national actions) and 33 external engagement activities about PKTA/ITAW during the COVID-19 situation.

Social Accountability WVI through the community engagement working group encourages the principle of social accountability which involves the community to assess the implementation of government policies and Wahana Visi Indonesia COPE | 2020 25

services in handling COVID-19. Wahana Visi Indonesia formed a small group consisting of groups with disabilities, civil society organizations and facilitators of Child-Friendly School, compiled an assessment card which was then circulated to WVI assisted areas. The target respondents are representatives of residents and representatives of service providers (village officials, volunteers & the COVID-19 Task Force, posyandu/ integrated health post cadres, PAUD facilitator). 92 respondents are involved in standard scoring and monitoring cards with two target areas urban (Jakarta and Surabaya) and rural (South Bengkulu and East Kolaka). The service standards assessed are information & prevention services, services for handling COVID-19 cases, social assistance services and supporting facilities. One of the objectives of this initiative is to obtain a model for citizen engagement through social accountability (assessment cards and standard monitoring) which is good for pandemic situation and is also conveyed as advocacy information in the target area. In addition to assessment cards and monitoring of COVID-19 service standards, children’s letters and children’s voice surveys are the models of social accountability that can be developed in the future. 26 COPE | 2020 Wahana Visi Indonesia

ACCOUNTABILITY

Community including children is a subject, not an object of the implemented program. Therefore, WVI is committed to work in a transparent and responsible way, to ensure the program is conducted based on community needs and the good relationship built among WVI, community, children, partner, and the government. This vision is achieved by applying four accountability pillars, which are information provision; community involvement in decision making (consultation); community participation; and feedback mechanism, including feedback response and the utilization to improve program quality.

Information is an important aid needed by the community. WVI delivers the minimum information about organization introduction, expected staff behavior, WVI program, and the feedback mechanism through face-to-face meeting, online meeting, using the loudspeakers, and IEC materials. Based on monitoring result in two areas, around 59% respondents report that they have received that minimum information.

Moreover, WVI has developed consultation with community and related stakeholders in determining beneficiaries’ criteria and selection process, distribution method, type and number of entitlement, and program monitoring. It aims at increasing community ownership and satisfaction towards WVI program. From the monitoring result in seven area programs and two special projects, about 95.18% of respondents (people and institution) report satisfaction with WVI interventions.

Feedback channels like face-to-face with WVI staff, cadre, or community representative; suggestion box provision; and call center (message, phone, and WhatsApp) are provided to ensure community voice and preference have a power to measure and improve the program quality. WVI has a responsibility to response the feedback timely. Based on the feedback mechanism built in 16 area programs/projects, 94.26% feedback resolved based on the agreed timeline. The feedback is contained of 68% positive comments, 21% recommendations, 6% complaints, and 5% queries. Through this mechanism, WVI is able to receive community input related their difficulties when doing the virtual meeting, the PPE items that the community or health facility mostly needed, and further information regarding to cash and voucher approach which is used in distributing the assistances.
