Emergency Grant Aid (FY2006) in Response to Earthquake Disaster in Central Java
On May 27th, 2006, an earthquake whose seismic center was 20km south-southwest from Jogjakarta in the island of Java, Indonesia, occurred. It was estimated that more than 5,800 people died and more than 20,000 people were injured. The earthquake led to the collapse and damage of more than 220,000 houses. (As of June 6th)
Upon the decision of the Government of Japan to extend the grant aid for the earthquake disaster to the Republic of Indonesia on June 5th, 2006, JICS made an Agent Agreement with the Government of Indonesia for the procurement of the emergency relief good and management of the assistance.
In this project as the agent of the procurement and management, JICS contributed to the administration of the granted funds, the procurement and delivery management of the emergency relief goods, such as large- and small-sized tents and blankets.
From June 8th, 200 tents and other goods as a support for schools and people affected by the earthquake were delivered to the affected area in the Jogjakarta Special Region and Central Java Province. By July 16th all emergency relief goods had been delivered. It is expected that the emergency relief goods will help the life of the casualties in schools, houses, and local society.
From the end of July, JICS monitored the distribution and the usage of supplies for 2 months.
