“…The necessary social infrastructure was not well-established in the three local areas, with a lack of supporting governance and resources for responding to the needs of persons with disabilities. In particular, the organisational capacity of DPOs, as the main actors for disability inclusion, was poor, which is consistent with other findings (Villeneuve et al 2017). In addition, the emergency period came with time restrictions and limited financial resources and lacked an appropriate funding policy, which negatively impacted on efforts for wider and deeper inclusion in disasters.…”

“…Two studies conducted by ASB in collaboration with the University of Sydney's Centre for Disability Research and Policy (CDRP) in four provinces in Indonesia identified two limiting factors. Firstly, there were low levels of awareness, knowledge, and capacity of DPOs in disaster management in the five areas, which constrained their meaningful participation and contribution (Villeneuve et al 2017). Secondly, as reported in interviews with the heads of BPBD in four districts, there were insufficient financial and human resources, as well as a lack of knowledge, to respond to the needs of persons with disabilities in disasters (CDRP and ASB 2015).…”

“…The key aspects of disability-inclusion include identification and meaningful involvement of persons with disabilities. Therefore, for the collaborative work, ASB designed capacity development training packages that included modules on understanding disaster risk and governance, disability data collection, and data driven-advocacy (Villeneuve et al 2017;Sloman and Margaretha 2018). ASB also liaise between DPOs and local disaster management stakeholders, which, in turn, contributes to increased collaborative action for disability-inclusive disaster management at the local level.…”

The first ever World Humanitarian Summit in 2016 put forward commitment to a new way of working in delivering humanitarian aid by placing emphasis on local leadership and ownership. It enforces international-aid organisations to find ways to adapt their traditional humanitarian-aid approach into a locally-led intervention to increase effectiveness and accountability of the delivery of humanitarian funding, including in a disaster context. However, the strategy to localise disaster response that takes into account the rights, needs, and participation of persons with disabilities has not been widely discussed and materialised accordingly, leading to a scarcity of knowledge and practice on responding to the specific needs of this community group in disaster emergencies. Using Indonesia as a country example, this chapter aims to discuss approaches to localise disability-inclusive disaster response through partnerships and capacity strengthening of local disabled people's organisations (DPOs) in three case studies of disaster response projects. The outcomes of the intervention for DPOs to enhance inclusion of disaster response interventions and fostered collaboration with mainstream humanitarian actors. Recommendations provided for an effective localised disability-inclusive disaster response giving due consideration to invest in the organisational and financial capacity of DPOs, adaptation in donor funding policy, and continuous engagement of DPOs with mainstream humanitarian local actors in all phases of disaster.

“…On the other hand, DRR and disaster management comprise an unfamiliar sector of work for many disability organisations (Robinson, 2017). In fact, people with disabilities and their organisations were largely by government and DRR actors seen as "vulnerable" (Pertiwi et al, 2020;King et al, 2019), and only participated in disaster studies and programmes as "recipients" (Robinson et al, 2020;Villeneuve et al, 2017). Such a state of affairs poses a challenge to the potential collaboration between people with disabilities and DRR actors.…”

PurposeThis paper presents a methodological reflection on the use of socio-cultural activity theory (SCAT) as a framework to understand collaborative action and problem-solving between people with disabilities and non-disabled stakeholders in three disaster risk reduction (DRR) initiatives led by Disabled People's Organisations (DPOs) in Indonesia.Design/methodology/approachThis paper is based on case study research, using a multiple case design. It looks at the conception and implementation of three DPO-led DRR projects in Indonesia. It focuses hereby on the processes and outcomes of collaborations between DPOs and non-disabled stakeholders. It presents a reflection as to what extent the six elements of SCAT were present.FindingsThe investigation of SCAT's six elements captured the co-construction of DPO-led DRR projects and constant changes and transformation in implementation. The findings reveal the dynamics of the collaboration between DPOs and non-disabled stakeholders (e.g. funding donors, DRR experts, government and community groups) and its outcomes and learning points.Practical implicationsSCAT can provide a better understanding of collaborative learning processes and associated outcomes between DPOs and DRR actors. Such collaborations facilitate the timely and relevant inclusion of people with disabilities in DRR initiatives through DPOs' leadership in DRR. Furthermore, such initiatives can promote the realisation of the disability-inclusion principle of the Sendai Framework for DRR, which is underpinned by the all-of-society approach to DRR.Originality/valueThis paper presents a reflection on the use of SCAT in inclusive disaster studies, thereby enabling further investigation and understanding of how the collaboration between disabled and non-disabled stakeholders occurs, and its implication. This is a topic that has been rarely tackled in the disability and disaster studies literature and practice.
