This case study forms an integral part of the overall Evaluation of Swedish International Development Agency’s (Sida) Humanitarian Assistance from 2005–2010. Since Sida does not have a humanitarian representative in Indonesia, its engagement is based on funding, rather than including advocacy and policy, as in the other case study countries. This report analyses how Sida’s funding to Indonesia is contributing towards meeting the 8 sub-goals of its Humanitarian Strategy, and attempts to learn lessons to inform Sida’s future humanitarian programming. This included asking humanitarian agencies and affected communities to describe the “elements of effective humanitarian assistance”. Now collated, these elements will help support the development of Sida’s next five-year humanitarian strategy.
