Job Purpose

The engagement of the community and community organizations in accelerating the management of COVID-19 is indispensable to ensure that the COVID-19 case does not spread exponentially, particularly in some areas where COVID-19 cases have not been found. On the other hand, the Indonesian Red Cross (PMI) has several experiences in community-based approach programs such as Community-Based Health and First Aid (CBHFA), Epidemic Control for Volunteers (ECV), Water, Sanitation & Hygiene (WASH), Integrated Community Based Risk Reduction (ICBRR), Healthy Schools and Disaster Preparedness Schools, which aim to identify health and disaster risks as well as mitigation and prevention efforts by empowering communities and working to create independent, safe and resilient communities. Hence, PMI utilizes these paramount experiences and rigorous capacities to put forward the concept of Strengthening Community Response strategies with the community as the central axis in supporting the COVID-19 response through the rollout of community cash grant assistance to the communities.
PMI has been well-disposed in implementing Cash and Voucher Assistance (CVA) for individuals, specifically during the response and recovery phase of emergencies and disasters. Furthermore, this modality has been adapted to intensify volunteers and community engagement in responding to the COVID-19 pandemic. PMI has implemented community cash grant assistance under the COVID-19 community response program since the beginning of June 2020. The project rollout has been piloted in 390 targeted villages within 46 cities/districts across eight Java, Bali, and Sulawesi provinces. The grant given to the communities was used to engage and train communities in close coordination with COVID-19 Task Forces on community-level prevention, detection and referral, community-based health, and community-based surveillance; providing information related to communicating COVID-19 risks, specifically on 6M, behaviour changes on hygiene and health and care to the community including through social media platform and hotlines; assisting communities in self-isolation through the distribution of food and staple items; procuring and producing PPE items as well as distributing PPE to the communities, and other activities.
To ensure the effectiveness, efficiency, and immediate impact of the community cash grant roll out, IFRC and PMI will conduct an evaluation of community grant implementation at the community level and internally within PMI and IFRC operation to take the takeaways and recommendation of community cash grant program for refinement and improvement of similar projects in the future.
For the above purpose, the evaluation will focus on the following:

• To assess the Relevance, Efficiency, Impact, Sustainability and Connectedness, and Coordination of community cash grant project
