 Welcome to OCHA Indonesia
OCHA is assisting the people and the Government of Indonesia in response to humanitarian crises caused by both natural and man-made disasters.

OCHA Indonesia assists the UN Humanitarian Coordinator to ensure humanitarian coordination with all actors in order to fulfill the humanitarian needs of vulnerable communities in post-conflict and natural disaster affected areas. To carry out this role, OCHA monitors the humanitarian situation, advocate for the remaining needs of the vulnerable, support the Government and humanitarian organizations to develop of contingency plans for areas likely to require humanitarian assistance in case of natural disasters, and facilitate linkages between humanitarian and development programmes by reinforcing the good working relationship with local authorities as well as the relationship with the agencies with longer-term mandates.

 Java Earthquake Response: Cluster Atlas May 2006-2007 Minimize

Java Earthquake Response: Cluster Atlas  May 2006-2007 and Cluster Approach Document

The UN coordination team worked with the Provincial Governments of Yogyakarta and Central Java for one year to provide emergency aid and relief, following the 24 May 2006 earthquake. The international humanitarian response system invoked the cluster approach, for only the second time in the world following a natural disaster, to provide more predictability and efficiency of response. Coordination meetings with the Government, partners and NGOs took place on a regular basis, and relevant information from these meetings had been posted through this website between June 2006 to May 2007. Other earthquake-related reports and tools used during that time are also posted.

This website now hosts various products derived from the Java cluster response, such as maps, graphs, diagrams, lessons learnt and evaluations.

The Cluster Atlas features maps which provided information for strategic decision-making by specific groups. The accompanying text, in both English and Bahasa Indonesia, reviews progress that had been accomplished up to April 2007.
