Background:
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.
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.
UN Women Indonesia is implementing a project entitled ‘Empowered Women for Sustainable Peace: Addressing the Peace-Humanitarian Nexus to Enhance Community Resilience in Indonesia’ project, or WE Nexus for short. The project activities started in June 2023 and will last until mid-2026, with funding from The Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA). The project aims to strengthen community resilience and reduce vulnerabilities in emergency and conflict-affected areas by addressing the humanitarian-development-peace nexus in the context of Indonesia. The WE NEXUS Project aims to achieve four Project Outcomes as follow: (a) National and/or local governments produce and use risk-informed, gender sensitive analysis of root causes and structural drivers of conflicts and positive factors for resilience (b) Women are able to influence and gain benefits from local policies, plans, and mechanisms that build resilience (c) Communities demonstrate commitment to advancing and implementing gender-responsive solutions/interventions/mechanisms to promote social cohesion, conflict prevention and resilience (d) Multi-stakeholder platform is established to promote capacity-sharing and knowledge to enhance collaboration between humanitarian, development, and peace actors at the national level, focusing on women’s leadership and participation in conflict prevention, emergency response and humanitarian action.
For the Outcome 4, with the support from WE NEXUS project, the Government of Indonesia managed to revise the disaster management cluster through the issuance of the Head of the National Disaster Management Agency (Badan Nasional Penanggulangan Bencana (BNPB)) Decree number 308 of 2024, which was enacted on 24 September 2024. The Decree requires the establishment of Inter-cluster coordination that will be led by BNPB Deputy for Emergency Response Management. To enable BNPB in carrying out its function as inter-cluster coordinator, a small and agile Cluster Secretariat is needed, to initiate and support the agency in:
In several meetings, BNPB has expressed the need for support for the Secretariat of the National Cluster. Therefore, an individual consultant is needed to initiate the work of the Secretariat of the National Cluster, which would be quickly handed over to BNPB for continuation and further improvement of the Secretariat. The consultant will facilitate cross-sectoral dialogue between government line ministries and other stakeholders, and support knowledge exchange on women’s empowerment, which will contribute to Outcome 4 achievements of the WE Nexus project.

In July 2010, the United Nations General Assembly created UN Women, the United Nations Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women. The creation of UN Women came about as part of the UN reform agenda, bringing together resources and mandates for greater impact. It merges and builds on the important work of four previously distinct parts of the UN system (DAW, OSAGI, INSTRAW and UNIFEM), which focused exclusively on gender equality and women’s empowerment.
