Company Description
Yayasan CARE Peduli (YCP)
CARE, like many other INGOs, has been putting in practice its institutional
commitment to diversification within the confederation and to the localization
of aid and strengthening partnerships with national entities. In line with
this, in July 2018 the Yayasan CARE Peduli (YCP) was established as the
national CARE entity that will continue CAREâs presence and operations in
Indonesia. CARE believes that this important step in the evolution of CAREâs
presence in Indonesia will further enhance its more strategic role in both the
development and the humanitarian fields.
As a national entity not only will YCP continue CAREâs activities, programs
and presence, but that as a result YCP could also contribute more significantly
in addressing and representing national development priorities both in
Indonesia and globally as well.
As part of this organizational evolution, Yayasan CARE Peduli is seeking for
committed, resourceful individuals who are passionate about poverty reduction,
gender equality and social justice to spearhead YCPâs operations and advocacy
on those priority issues.
BACKGROUND
PfR is an alliance of five organizations who work specifically on the issue of
Integrated Risk Management (IRM). The alliance is consist of the Netherlands
Red Cross (lead agency), CARE Netherlands, Cordaid, the Red Cross/Red Crescent
Climate Centre, and Wetlands International. The project is funded by the Dutch

inclusive economic growth.
In this Program in Indonesia, the five partner organisations â Yayasan CARE
Peduli (YCP), the International Federation of the Red Cross (IFRC), Wetlands

Climate Centre (RCCC) â combine and strengthen their collective expertise to
promote the application of Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR), Climate Change
Adaptation (CCA) and Ecosystem Management and Restoration (EMR) initiatives
across Indonesia. This Integrated Risk Management (IRM) approach aims to
protect livelihoods of vulnerable communities against climate-related natural
hazards.
In this Program, the PfR SP aims to achieve the following outcomes in the three
change domains of policy, investment, and practice:
Policy: IRM principles and evidence from best practices under PfR 1 have been
integrated into the relevant policies at national, district, provincial and
local level;
Investment: Public and private investments in Indonesia are IRM proof and
earmarked for IRM projects/programs.
Practice: New projects and programs at the national, district, provincial and
local level are implemented based on IRM principles and standardized IRM models.
Bridging these three change domains, the PfR SP in Indonesia works across five
IRM Dialogue Trajectories.
This program use Integrated Risk Management in recognition of the importance of
Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR), Climate Change Adaptation (CCA), and Ecosystem
Management Restoration (EMR). This is essential for assessing the type,
frequency and intensity of the hazards facing communities, and for responding
accordingly.
