Project Summary
As the tsunami hits Sunda Straits on December 22nd, 2018, immediate actions makes the difference between life and death. WVI, in less than 24 hours, started their emergency response for the first 7 days through a program called Sunda Strait Tsunami Emergency Response (SSTER). This program aims to help 27 villages in Pandeglang and 7 villages in South Lampung.

The project was initially designed for 6 months, but then extended to 9 months, until September 2019. There are four main outcomes for the project: First, for the community impacted by the tsunami to have a better life, and access to basic needs through the aid of non-food packages, such as Children Package and Family Package; Secondly, for children to have better access of a safe and child-friendly learning environment, through capacity building in emergency preparedness and response; Third is for the tsunami impacted family to be able to revive their economy, so that parents can provide for their children; and lastly improving program's quality through community involvement.

DMP team conduct the evaluation by the end of September to evaluate their outcomes, as well as to provide lessons learned and recommendations for future projects. This was achieved through document studies, household surveillance that involves 110 respondents from 15 villages, FGDs with students, fathers, mothers and children, as well as interviews with related stakeholders.
