CHAIRMANS MESSAGE
Living in the remote Indonesian island chain of the Mentawais and Nias is an existence that we in the West can hardly imagine. Malnutrition and disease are a daily burden and children suffering from preventable diseases such as malaria, acute diarrhoea and respiratory disease rarely experience care other than that provided by despairing parents. Some mothers even give birth alone in the forest, holding on to a tree as their only support, and the lack of clean water and sanitary facilities conspire to ensure the continual cycling of infectious disease. And as natural disaster repeatedly strikes the South East Asia region, these people are the last on the list to get help. SurfAid is steadily and resolutely helping to change this situation. We have now been operating far off the Sumatran coast for over 10 years and have a humanitarian program that stretches from disaster preparedness and rebuilding of devastated villages through to mother and child health and the grassroots training of local health volunteers. All in a fragile environment where ghting disease and improving living conditions is a very recent phenomenon. Over the 2011-2012 reporting period, SurfAid has continued to be impacted and corraled by the forces of nature. The impact of our fully consuming emergency response to the Padang earthquake in 2007 had fallen right away and an audit of the Nias community health program in May 2010 had set the scene for a comprehensive review of what was achievable and measurable in our remote island locations. Midstream with change, the tsunami which struck the Mentawai Islands on 25 October 2010 hurtled us back into emergency response mode. The four-metre wall of water that arrived without warning devastated many villages and again SurfAid delivered, this time under the glare of the international spotlight. The tsunami response and early recovery programs continued until December 2011 and certainly were the most comprehensive and effective that SurfAid has delivered to date a great tribute to Alan Rogerson, our Country Director at that time, and his team. Beyond emergency preparedness and response programs in the Telos and Mentawais, we continue to evolve

as an organisation that is intent on improving community health and resilience. The scope of our new programs throughout Nias and the Mentawais reects what we have learned to do well and includes SeSe (longterm recovery following the tsunami and mother and child health), EHOWU (community-based health program and water) and planning for a new location in Sumbawa that will begin with water and sanitation, building to a full mother and child health and E-Prep if there is sufcient donor support. SurfAiders have been wearing Malaria sucks T-shirts since we began as an Non Government Organisation (NGO) and our commitment to malaria prevention sees a new program beginning in 2013. Insecticide-treated nets have a lifespan of only ve years and it is now time for us to re-enact the rollout of our Malaria Free Mentawai program that had reached more than 200 villlages and hamlets by 2008. A key theme that has emerged in 2011-2012 is our emphasis on building close relationships with local health care workers and district local governments and this closely aligns our programs with Indonesian national strategies. Unlike the early years, local capacity and commitment is now visibly increasing and revitalisation of the Posyandu system as a front-line community health service is central to our eld activities. Successfully encouraging and training midwives and health workers in this context is a challenge and an art that we are learning to master. Our people are our strength and we continue to attract great talent to the Indonesian team. The appointment of Anne Wuijts as Country Director in 2011, with a depth of sector experience and passion for community development, bears this out. Anne and her team have put us on a strong footing to push forward with innovative programs in 2013 and we deeply thank our donors, both government and private, for having the faith to propel us forward. The future is good. We are rebranded and reinvigorated but still retain that maverick factor that is essential to success in a remote and fragile geographical region. Behind the scenes, the hard-working afliate teams in Australia, New Zealand and the United States push on with fundraising, and the efforts of SurfAid are now acknowledged in many places. Disaster Risk Reduction is championed at the highest level in Indonesia and in 2012 President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono was recognised by the United Nations for his commitment to the cause. SurfAid is part of that. We continue to believe in the Mentawai and Nias people their future is now. Steve Hathaway Chairman SurfAid International Board

OUR MISSION The mission of SurfAid, a non-prot humanitarian organisation, is to improve the health, wellbeing and self-reliance of people living in isolated regions connected to us through surng.

OUR STAFF
SurfAid continues to be fortunate in attracting dedicated and passionate people to work for us, both in the eld in Indonesia and in our afliate organisations in Australia, New Zealand and the United States of America. The worldwide SurfAid network is made up of:

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Our frontline workers are the Indonesian eld staff who strengthen the capacity of local communities and regional government to support sustainable health systems. During 2011-12, on average we employed 95 Indonesian nationals on a range of programs including Emergency Recovery in the Mentawai Islands. We commenced the year with four expatriate staff working with our team on management and capacity development; in March 2012, we had two expatriates in eld roles. Our eld staff work under difcult and challenging circumstances, and with great stamina and determination, to bring positive change to remote communities. SurfAids challenge: to prevent disease, suffering and death in remote areas of Indonesia. Living in remote, isolated areas means that you do not have access to basic services. It means suffering preventable diseases such as malaria, acute respiratory infections and diarrhoea. It means your children are malnourished and are not able to go to a clinic. It means giving birth alone, holding on to a tree as your only support. It often means living in fragile or volatile environments, without clean water or sanitation, and it means you are last on anybodys list when a natural disaster strikes. SurfAid believes this is unacceptable. That is why SurfAid operates in remote areas to support vulnerable communities with health promotion, disease prevention and disaster risk reduction. We run our programs in the Mentawai Islands, 150km off Indonesias West Sumatran coast, Nias Island, 125km off the North Sumatran Coast and two strings of islands near Nias and the Mentawai, called the Telo Islands and Banyak Islands. Fighting diseases and improving living conditions is tougher than it seems. There are many different and interlinked factors that contribute to the situation. Any solution needs to take into account these different factors and nd creative ways of tackling them. SurfAid provides very practical support such as materials to build water tanks, water taps and toilets for clean water and sanitation, mosquito nets to avoid malaria, and vegetable seeds to help establish nutrition gardens to eradicate malnutrition. But it is the capacity building of community health volunteers, school children, community members and relevant government staff that really lies at the heart of what we do. SurfAid is passionate about empowering communities to help themselves. Hardware is important, but not enough to address health, sanitation and nutrition issues. Behaviour change is needed to stop pregnant women and children from dying. Our community-based health programs centre around creating local capacity to deliver and support sustainable positive change on such topics as nutrition, hygiene, healthy environments and disease prevention. And at the same time we channel practical support - including mosquito net distribution. In response to an unfortunately frequent need, we have built an award-winning capacity in Emergency Preparedness and have delivered practical, locally-based Emergency Responses. Last year we concluded our Mentawai Island Emergency Recovery Program, while commencing a much needed emergency preparedness program in West Sumatra. 7

(ended in April 2011)

Key AchievementS

Qualitative aSSeSSment on impact in the community

1 APRIL 2011 31 MaRCH 2012

327 permanent shelters were constructed in seven partner communities in South Sipora. These houses were built by the community members themselves with technical assistance from SurfAid staff. Community resilience was markedly improved as a result of the availability of the houses, and the process by which the houses were communally built. Monthly training of local health kaders (community-based health volunteers) by YRSM staff, supported and mentored by SurfAid eld staff. Conducted Posyandu (health clinic) regularly on monthly basis in all hamlets and provided nutritious food to children under ve.

Improved shelter has improved the life of all community members. Community members have new sets of skills in building high quality, earthquakeresistant structures and earthquake-proof foundations . In collaboration with the Sipora Clean Water Program, the communities have better water supply than before the tsunami.

MENTaWaI ISLaND EmERGENCY RECOVERY PROGRam

Some of the initial work undertaken in the post-tsunami Emergency Recovery Project in Mentawai has been reported in the 2010/2011 Annual Report. By April 2011, the Emergency Recovery Project was fully underway. During the course of the next eight months there were as many as seven projects being implemented simultaneously across three islands. The individual projects are outlined here, together with their key achievements, and with a description of how each of the project components has impacted on the target communities, and target groups within communities. SurfAid was able to design, implement and manage such a wide range of projects by taking the decision to work with partner organizations. This approach allowed us to increase the number of target areas, and to implement projects with a high level of technical component. Throughout this process we retained our focus on collaboration, community facilitation, mentoring and liaison with the local government. The work was challenging, the locations were remote, and the local government was stretched. The communities were traumatized, and many of our partners had lost family members in the tsunami. There were challenges of logistics and communications. The rainy season seemed to last forever, and every week saw another Non Government Organisation (NGO) withdrawn from the Mentawai. Many of the communities of South Pagai that were worst affected by the tsunami had already relocated by April 2011. While their new locations were safe from the risk of tsunami, they were far from services and government support, and in areas with poor road access and phone reception. Plus they had no immediate livelihood opportunities as they had left their crops behind on the coast. SurfAids response was to establish an ofce in Sikakap, and to work hard to reduce the hardship faced

by the eld staff. This ofce had reliable Internet access and was key to the success of the South Pagai operations, and the liaison with the local government. It is a testament to the fortitude and strength of character of the SurfAid staff that the Emergency Recovery Project met its objectives. Health services were restored to relocated communities and clean water was made available. Hygiene promotion programs were implemented and the communities resilience was strengthened. Training programs were introduced in anticipation of another earthquake and tsunami and government capacity was developed, plus local NGOs were mentored. For several months SurfAid was the one constant in these remote and disadvantaged Mentawai communities. The Emergency Recovery project ended in November 2011. Many of the component activities of the project were designed to ensure communities, government employees and staff from collaborating NGOs were left in a position to design, implement and monitor their own community health programs. It is particularly signicant that SurfAid was able to assist YRSM (Yayasan Reiner Schefold Mentawai), one of the very few indigenous Mentawai NGOs. It is ofcial that SurfAId implemented the Emergency Recovery Project successfully. The key donors undertook an audit in August 2011 and reported favorably on what they saw. AusAID and the New Zealand Aid Programme were more than satised with what they saw, and they acknowledged the complications caused as a consequence of the extreme isolation, the difculty in communication and the weather. A total of 4,015 families (15,668 beneciaries) received some level of assistance via the program, spread throughout 63 hamlets, 11 villages and four sub-districts. The Emergency Response and Recovery Program delivered a series of eight different project components at various times across three of the major islands in the Mentawai. The program was relatively short term, and the implemented project components ranged from three to nine months in duration.

P4B ProJect
(Community Health)

in South Pagai, in partnership with YRSM

(Yayasan Reiner Schefold Mentawai)

Fourteen hamlets in South Pagai relocation sites provided with Posyandu health services, focused on mother and child health. Training and mentoring of key staff from the local health department, delivering long-term commitment to community health. Measurable improvement in the capacity and condence of YRSM staff, who are now adequately trained to implement their own community health projects. Puskesmas staff showed signicant initiative by responding to the community request for follow up to the Posyandu activities conducted by YRSM (SurfAids partner organisation). Measurable, long-term reduction in posttraumatic stress disorder in participating community members. Establishment of formal community groups to implement long-term follow up. Communities trained in identifying the signs of post-traumatic stress disorder. Community members without symptoms increased from 36% to 73%. Children with elevated symptoms of worry decreased from 8% to 0. At the end of the project 95% of children under ve did not feel worried any more.

PSycho-Social Support
(initially in South Sipora, then in South Pagai)

Formal community support groups and networks were established in South Sipora (in the period between November 2010 and April 2011), then the project team set up in the communities of South Pagai which had been relocated from the coast. The successful methodology - targeting children then encouraging the participation of their parents - was maintained. Community members were trained in order to ensure long-term implementation of the program components. Focus on schools and adolescent groups, in addition to children.

Activity Hygiene Promotion

(South Pagai)

Key AchievementS

Qualitative aSSeSSment on impact in the community

Water facilities implemented in six South Sipora communities (two of which had been relocated), to complement the outcomes of the Temporary Shelter Project. Community members trained in maintenance of the water supply systems. Water resource management introduced to vulnerable, coastal communities.

High quality, reliable water available in relocated Sipora communities. Rehabilitation of water facilities in Gobik. Construction of ferro-cement tanks in Masokut and Berilou. Community members trained in the construction and maintenance of ferrocement tanks, and other water-supply equipment

Hygiene promotion activities were implemented in three isolated communities in South Pagai. Awareness-raising focused on latrine construction and use, and on the threats from water-borne diseases, especially in children and pregnant women.

Open defecation reduced from 90% (before the intervention) to 37% (afterwards). Improved hygiene practices. 37% of the total households in three hamlets have gained their ODF (Open Defecation Free) status (improved by 27%). Key community members trained in hygiene promotion and in identifying and mitigating risk factors. Key community members empowered to monitor improvement in hygiene conditions, and long-term reduction in open defecation. Community members were trained to analyse food consumption, and ensure an adequate amount of protein in the diet of children and pregnant women. A new level of awareness of the signicance of food quality has resulted in a long-term commitment to develop vegetable gardens. Malnutrition rates have slightly decreased by 8% (based on WAZ) while slightly increased by 4% (based on HAZ). These changes may not be signicant.

in partnership with Ibu Foundation

(a national NGO)

Clean Water ProJect in partnership with arche-noVa

(South Pagai)

Water facilities implemented in nine relocated communities in South Pagai. Design and implementation of novel zero energy water pumps located in rivers, from which water was sourced. Community members trained in the maintenance of the pumps and the community water facilities. Implementation of CLTS (Community-led Total Sanitation) by community members and arche noVa staff in nine villages, leading to the construction of almost 200 individual household latrines. Implemented in 14 communities in South and Central Sipora. Key stakeholders and natural leaders were trained in hygiene promotion, with a focus on latrine construction and the threats from water-borne diseases. Community-based workshops hosted by trainers, with mentoring from SurfAid eld staff. Strong emphasis on latrine construction and use.

High quality, reliable water available in relocated South Pagai communities. The target of 45 litres of water per person per day has been achieved in six of the communities served by water pumps. Long-term sustainability of inputs, and viability of the equipment, is ensured by training key community members in maintenance. One community (Sabiret) became ODF (Open Defecation Free). In other communities, the rate of open defecation was signicantly reduced. Key community members trained in hygiene promotion and in identifying and mitigating risk factors. Results of latrine construction were disappointing, possibly related to the short duration of the project and the schedule coinciding with the government road construction project. Key community members empowered to monitor improvement in hygiene conditions, and long-term reduction in open defecation. Appropriate hygiene behaviour in community members increased by 7% with six indications of hand washing behaviour: before meals, after defecation, after cleaning a child from defecation, before feeding a child, before handling food, and others.

Mother anD ChilD Health ProJect

(Sipora)

Education and awareness raising, focused on nutrition and healthy food practices, especially in children and pregnant women. Twenty seven Posyandu Kaders were trained by the Mentawai Health Ofce on nutrition health messages and these messages were directly delivered to families in each hamlet. Seeds and education/training were provided to encourage families to grow their own vegetables. One hundred and seventy eight families received seeds to start vegetable gardens and 73% of families successfully planted the seeds.

Hygiene Promotion
(Sipora)

Emergency PrepareDneSS ProJect

Community-based disaster risk management (DRM) activities implemented in vulnerable, coastal communities in North and South Pagai. Establishment of formal community groups trained in DRM, and empowered to manage local DRM inputs. Focus on schools, with training of teachers and students, and establishment of Prepared Schools in target communities. Training programs designed and implemented for community-level and local government.

The community knowledge on E-Prep has increased by 19%, the awareness has increased by 38% and the behaviour has increased by 46%. Local capacity in DRM has improved community resilience and reduced the probability that communities will relocate. Prepared Schools provide condence for parents that plans and training are in place to cater for a natural disaster during school hours. Measurable improvement in local government capacity ensures DRM is prioritised, long-term planning is implemented and community awareness is up-to-date.

HEALTH PROGRAM
Last year SurfAids Health Program focussed mainly on Nias with the goal to reduce maternal and under-ve child mortality and morbidity in Nias. The health program focusses on revitalising community health centres, which have a front line role to play in delivering basic health services to mothers. Capacity building for community health volunteers and within the health departments is key to secure positive results and sustainability. This approach has been instrumental in developing the relationship between the health providers and the communities they serve. SurfAid, Posyandu staff (community-based health services), Puskesmas (subdistrict level health centres) staff and Kaders (community health volunteers), and the communities themselves, join forces to improve the health status of mothers and children in Nias.

Activity Community-leD Total Sanitation

(CLTS)

Key AchievementS

Qualitative aSSeSSment on impact in the community

Villages have led a process to become open defecation free communities (ODF). Seven villages are now ODF area. Sixty one learning forums with the topic around CLTS such as causes of diarrhoea, danger signs of diarrhoea, hand washing, how to prevent and cure diarrhoea, closet training, septic tank training, pipe instalment training 183 teachers were trained and 2500 students were exposed to the CLTS campaign. 3843 metres of pipes distributed in 15 places in North Nias (ve in Afulu and 10 in Alasa). Monitoring and extend technical supervision on clean water facility instalment at seven communities in Afulu and Alasa (North Nias) Twelve trained Puskesmas staff on TOT in Mother and Child Health (MCH). The materials and training provided for Puskesmas staff have enabled them to be able to do MCH intervention such as to train volunteers to deliver guidelines and inform pregnant mothers how to prepare a birth kit and have a clean birth. Health department staff capacities are improved through active engagement in village monitoring, planning and implementing activities. 264 Kaders and four religious leaders were trained in CLTS.

Community able to build a simple hygiene latrine (minimum standard). Communities in Afulu and Alasa have better knowledge on water facility and had access to clean water after pipe distribution and installation training. School has CLTS facilitators and this condition could support progress in behaviour change at household level.

The strategic objectives of the program are:

Establish supportive community structures; Improve the immunisation and nutritional status of children; Improve hygiene and sanitation practices; Reduce the burden of disease from respiratory infection and malaria; Improve maternal and neonatal health outcomes; Increase the capacity of established Mentawai and Nias Health Departments to provide essential services.

Maternal anD neonatal health

MCH module was developed by considering local values and norms and it helped Puskesmas staff to easily understand the context of MCH materials during the training.

This program is anchor-funded by the MFAT, New Zealand Aid Programme.

Strengthen communication and coordination with DinKes for better program implementation.

There is a signicant improvement in the engagement of communities with CBHP II. Community leaders play a supportive role and Posyandu Kaders are more active.

In June 2011, a formal review of the program recommended SurfAid phase out of the many different locations with a stronger focus on fewer areas with fewer activities to achieve greater sustainable impact. A series of phasing-out activities were conducted at various levels in three districts in Nias (North, South and Nias) to ensure local government and communities would be able to continue to work together on achieving positive health results. The South Nias Government has adopted and incorporated the water facilities program in their annual program, and announced this during Musrenbang (local development needs meeting). The result of the refocus is a smaller, streamlined program that will start on 1July 2012under thename EHOWU (EnhanceHealthofWomen andUnder ve children). And while this may sound convoluted as an acronym, it actually meanshealthyinthe old localNias language. Currently the word has fallen in disuse, and is replaced by a word meaning not sick. By adopting the old Nias word for Healthy in our program, and bringing a focused health program to a smaller geographical area, we are sure that we can bring health back into Nias. This new focus is supported with an extension of the CBHP II funding up to November 2014.

The goal of EHOWU is to signicantly improve Mother and Child Health (MCH) status in Hiliduho Subdistrict, Nias Induk District. The medium and short-term outcomes are Effective and Sustainable Basic MCH care in Hiliduho Subdistrict. To achieve this, the work is based on three pillars: 1. Twenty one functional Posyandu across 13 villages of Hiliduho subdistrict 2. Improved community knowledge and practice on MCH and improved access to safe water 3. Effective Puskesmas support for basic MCH activities In the Mentawai, the new Health Program SeSe is just starting again after the focus had to switch to immediate Emergency Early Recovery Program after the devastating tsunami. The goal of SeSe, which means appropriate in the local Mentawai language, is to signicantly improve the health status and preparedness for economic activities for 14 tsunami-affected communities in South Pagai, Mentawai Islands. The program is source funded by MFAT, New Zealand Aid Programme, and started on 1 April 2012.

EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS AND DISASTER RISK MANAGEMENT (E-PREP & DRM)

The goal of this program is to increase community awareness and provide the communities living on islands off the western coast of Sumatra with effective strategies to reduce and manage the risk associated with the occurrence of earthquakes and tsunamis in the region, and to increase the rate at which they will be able to recover from any major event. Through implementation of this activity, a disaster risk mitigation strategy will be developed which will minimize the loss of life directly from a disaster, and indirectly through health-related effects, and will offset the potential long-term loss of livelihoods. This program was designed utilising the lessons learned and best practices of the previous E-Prep programs including the E-Prep Road Show funded by NZAID and the three-year E-Prep program funded by AusAID. This program is funded by MFAT as part of the Sustainable Development Fund (SDF) that covers 28 communities

across the Mentawai Islands (West Sumatra Province), Banyak Islands (Aceh Province) and Telo Islands (North Sumatra Province) with a program period of three years that commenced on 1 June 2011 through to 31 May 2014. The objective of the program is to reduce and manage the risk associated with the occurrence of earthquakes and tsunamis in the region, and to increase the rate at which targeted communities will be able to recover from any major event. The outputs are:

Output 1 Needs assessment and training in 28

communities with training materials developed

Output 2 Development and implementation of DRR

Activity NeeDS aSSeSSment anD KAP Survey Development anD implementation of DRR planS in community

Key AchievementS

Qualitative aSSeSSment on impact in the community

Conducted KAP Survey in 28 communities across three subdistricts in three provinces. Two communities in Singkil and eight communities in the Mentawai received knowledge on Hazard Vulnerability and Capacity Analysis (HVCA), Participatory Disaster Risk Assessment (PDRA) and risk mapping. Established village Disaster Management Teams: six villages in the Mentawai, two villages in Singkil, and two villages in Telo The radio program has been developed. The radio program in Nias will broadcast through RRI, and in Mentawai through Radio Sura Mentawai. One workshop on the district DM plan was conducted in South Nias.

Result has shown that community awareness, skill and knowledge on DRR are still low. The community understands the importance of the disaster preparedness and they are more aware of the current condition in their areas.
