UN Women, grounded in the vision of equality enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations, works for the elimination of discrimination against women and girls; the empowerment of women; and the achievement of equality between women and men as partners and beneficiaries of development, human rights, humanitarian action and peace and security. In Indonesia, UN Women works with government, civil society organizations (CSOs), academia, the media, the public and private sectors to address national priorities of gender equality and women’s empowerment. Placing the advancement of women’s rights at the center of our work and aligning with UN Sustainable Development Cooperation Framework (UNSDCF) 2021-2025 UN Women Indonesia focuses on (1) Inclusive human development through ending violence and discrimination against women and building women’s leadership to build sustainable peace (2) Advance value-added and transformative economy by supporting women’s economic empowerment (3) Gender-responsive approach to building climate resilience and disaster risk reduction (4) Using innovation and data to leverage gender responsive governance.
Grounded on its four strategic priorities, UN Women is committed to empowering women and girls to contribute and have greater influence in building sustainable peace and resilience and benefit equally from the prevention of natural disasters, conflict, and humanitarian action. Globally, including in Indonesia, the impact of conflict, climate change, and natural disasters has disproportionately affected women and girls. Funded by the Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA), UN Women Indonesia developed a three-year program, “Empowered Women for Sustainable Peace: Addressing the Peace-Humanitarian Nexus to Enhance Community Resilience in Indonesia”, with the full implementation period from 2024 to 2026. The project aims to strengthen community resilience and reduce vulnerabilities in emergency and conflict-affected areas by addressing the humanitarian-development-peace (HDP) nexus in the context of Indonesia. It will contribute to the goal, that women and girls are able to withstand adverse impacts of conflict and natural hazards and able to contribute to a peaceful and just society. The project is implemented in 20 villages in the provinces of West Nusa Tenggara (NTB), East Nusa Tenggara (NTT) and Central Sulawesi. These are the Provinces where the dimension of crisis (social-economic including conflict and radicalism and natural and climate-induced disasters) are prominent, providing the ground for justification of humanitarian development and peace nexus intervention. The project aims to develop scalable interventions that can contribute to the implementation of key policies in Indonesia that are relevant to the prevention of violent extremism, disaster risk reduction and resilience-building, and the protection and empowerment of women and children. In the context of policy advocacy, the project will support seven ministries/agencies: the Coordinating Ministry of Human Development and Culture (KEMENKO PMK), the Ministry of Women Empowerment and Child Protection (KPPPA), the Ministry of Social Affairs (KEMENSOS), the Ministry of Villages, Disadvantages Regions and Transmigrations (KEMENDES), the Ministry of Home Affairs (KEMENDAGRI), National Agency for Disaster Management (BNPB), and the National Agency of Counter Terrorism (BNPT), to strengthen national policy on disaster management, prevention of social conflict, prevention on violence extremism.
