Indonesia: Lead Evaluator Consultant

Organizational Context

Since the first 6.4 magnitude earthquake struck off Lombok, province of West Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia, on Sunday 29 July 2018, four further earthquakes and multiple aftershocks; 7.0 magnitude earthquake on 5 August 2018, 6.2 magnitude earthquake on 9 August 2018, and 6.9 magnitude earthquake on 19 August 2018 have impacted the districts of North Lombok, East Lombok, West Lombok, Central Lombok, Mataram, and Sumbawa island, in addition to Bali island.
Around 150,000 families (600,000 people) were affected by the earthquake, with over 445,000 people displaced. Education, health and other public facilities were also severely damaged. There were also damage to main roads, resulting in constraints to accessing some of the affected areas, as well as disruption to communication lines. IFRC allocated 500,000 Swiss francs (CHF) from the Disaster Relief Emergency Fund (DREF) to enable PMI to meet the humanitarian needs of in Lombok. In August, IFRC launched an Emergency Appeal for CHF 8.9 million to support PMI to provide assistance to 20,000 households in Lombok.
On 28 September 2018, a series of strong earthquakes struck Central Sulawesi Province. The strongest of which measured at 7.4 magnitude and 10km deep with the epicentre in Donggala Regency, close to the provincial capital Palu. The earthquake triggered a tsunami which reached up to three meters in some areas, striking Talise beach in Palu and Donggala. The earthquakes, tsunami and resulting liquefaction and landslides caused significant damage and loss of life in affected areas.
As of 18 July 2019, the government reported that 4,140 people died in the disaster, of which 1,016 were not identified; and a further 705 people remain missing. More than 4,400 were seriously injured and more than 110,000 houses destroyed, damaged or lost due to the earthquake, tsunami or liquefaction. In its wake, more than 172,000 people were displaced. Currently, some people are living in government-constructed barracks (huntaras), while others take shelter in their damaged homes or with relatives in other communities or within theirs.
The three disasters caused extensive damage amounting to more than 1.6 billion CHF. IFRC allocated CHF 750,000 from DREF to the response in Sulawesi, bringing the total DREF advance for the response in Lombok and Sulawesi to CHF 1.25 million. Additionally, the Emergency Appeal was revised to CHF 22 million to incorporate the response in Sulawesi, enabling PMI to deliver assistance to 40,000 households (20,000 in Lombok and 20,000 in Sulawesi). Currently, the Emergency Appeal has been revised up to CHF 38.5 million to assist 160,000 people (40,000 families) for up to 30 months.
