In 2020, the whole world, including Indonesia, faced the covid-19 pandemic. The pandemic that drained a lot of energy, costs and thoughts, even hundreds of thousands of lives had to be taken, because they lost the fight against this coronavirus sars. Many state policies were also adjusted to the conditions referred to as non-natural disasters, including state financial policies and social activities.
During the pandemic in mid-2020-2021, we were very familiar with the terms Large-Scale Social Restrictions (PSBB), Enforcement of Community Activity Restrictions (PPKM), to a social assistance program called the Social Safety Net (JPS). The program is a combination of declining purchasing power and increasing poverty due to restrictions on time and physical activity.
In response to this phenomenon, IDEA also directed several of its main programs through a disaster risk reduction approach. Some of IDEA's important programs during the pandemic include Improving disaster risk reduction governance, then monitoring the management of the Covid-19 handling budget, and advocacy programs to fulfill the rights of vulnerable groups during the Covid-19 pandemic.
In parallel, IDEA also continues to implement poverty alleviation programs through the utilization of information systems and one poverty data. For more details, see our 2020 year-end report below.
