The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) hereby invites you to participate in a Call for Proposals for CSO/NGO to support RESTORE (Response Toward Resilience) project, Mitigating the Impacts of Earthquake Disaster and COVID-19 in West Sulawesi (Building Facilities).

UNDP is supporting West Sulawesi subnational governments in early recovery efforts that will focus on reducing risks of further damage and injuries, restoring basic community services, and preventing COVID-19 from spread further in the impacted communities.

In order to achieve the goals, there are three activities that will be implemented: 1) debris clearance; 2) economic livelihood reactivation; and 3) COVID19 prevention. These activities will also contribute to pave the way toward recovery by creating suitable enabling environment for affected communities and governments in, Majene and Mamuju district of West Sulawesi province to engage actively with post-disaster recovery interventions for both earthquake disaster and COVID-19 pandemic.

Objectives

From the background and explanation of the disaster that occurred in West Sulawesi, the objectives of these activities as follow: 

• To provide support to the west sulawesi provincial government, Mamuju and Majene districts especially those affected by earthquake are in the rehabilitation and reconstruction or recovery phase 
• Support provided in several activities, namely: debris clearance, economic livelihood reactivation and COVID19 prevention 
• In carrying out activities other than collaborating with provincial and district governments, coordination and communication will be carried out with related agencies in the recovery phase
• From the support provided, it is expected that the recovery process can run smoothly considering that the pandemic is still ongoing, so reducing the risk of communities who are affected by earthquake disasters from COVID-19 transmission must be done. All activities will be carried out with strict health protocols without reducing the benefits that will be received by beneficiaries

Location and Target Beneficiaries

The activities will be carried out in Majene Regency and Mamuju Regency of West Sulawesi province. The beneficiaries of the activities are mainly those who are impacted by earthquake disaster that hit two regencies in January 2021, particularly women, children, and displaced people.
