Abstract:
The frequency of global disaster is increasing continuously in the future which causes deaths and material damages. At the same time, the response capacity of the organizations related to disaster management is insufficient. PEER Project initiation as a model has been established to reach capacity improvement of organizations involved in disaster management. The development includes the regulations establishment, guidelines, standard operating procedures, training, socialization, and implementation in each region. This study aimed to analyze the effect of PEER Project on organizational capacity response quality improvement. A cross-sectional survey design was used. The population was organizations involving in emergency response from 8 regional branch offices were chosen. Modified Capacity Assessment (MOCA) tools were used to assess improvements. Regional branches showed varied trends, ranging from -8.5% to 71.3%. The mean scores achieved as compared to the maximum scores of MOCA com
ponents were 77% for finance, 59% for logistics and administration, 76% for human resources management and capacities, 51% for coordination, 69% for Monitoring, Evaluation, Accountability, and Learning (MEAL), 73% for resource mobilization, and 66% for quality response capacities. The result from Kruskal Wallis test was significant differences between scores before and after PEER Project implementation in aspects of Human Resources Management and Capacities (HRMC, p = 0.025), Monitoring Evaluation Accountability and Learning (MEAL, p = 0.025) and Resource Mobilization (p = 0.025). The coordination and logistics-administration components should be of particular concern to the next project due to the low MOCA scores.
