Adaptation & Risk Reduction Technical Officer

Building Resilience in Eastern Indonesia Strengthening government, civil society,
and community action for disaster risk reduction

We think people in Indonesia should fend for themselves. That’s why,
over the last three years, we’ve been scaling up our ‘Building Resilience’
programme. Working closely with the country’s government, as well as civil
society and community action groups, we’re coordinating our efforts to
ensure the people of Indonesia are better prepared to cope with whatever
nature throws at them. It’s a huge challenge - this is a part of the world
that’s particularly prone to natural disasters. But we’ve already made
tremendous headway. And with your help, we’ll bring greater peace of mind
and security to those who live in the region.
