The Team has completed the implementation of cash for work activities using PNPM Mandiri mechanism in volcanic eruption affected regions of Magelang, Boyolali, Klaten, Sleman as well as the municipality of Yogyakarta. Mount Merapi is one of the world’s most active volcanoes. Mount Merapi status rose from Normal to Alert (Waspada) status on September 20, 2010. On October 21, the status rose from Alert (Waspada) to Ready to Erupt (Siaga) status, and at 06.00AM on October 25, 2010 the status rose from Ready to Erupt (Siaga) to Active Danger/Warning (Awas). In response to the situation, the Vice President urged an implementation of one of urgent policies to provide immediate support to the affected poor who have lost their livelihoods so they can resume economic activity. The Coordinating Ministry for People’s Welfare received the mandate to implement the said policy. Therefore, it is critical to design a program for implementation in the targeted groups. In response to the said policy, PNPM Mandiri program with the support of PNPM Support Facility (PSF) has the appropriate mechanism to implement. The PSF has committed to channeling grants from donor countries to fund the PNPM Mandiri program. 6 Cash for Work activity was created to ensure a good transition from emergency response to rehabilitation and reconstruction phase. The cash for work program has provided the communities with descent works for income generation. The program contributes to the economic recovery of disaster-affected communities.
