R&V comprised of a range of discrete small projects. R&V sought to strengthen GoI’s capacity in science, and increase the use of science products and tools to support evidence based disaster risk management policy and practice by: Building the capacity of Indonesian scientists to better understand the nature of natural hazards including the size, severity, recurrence and spatial footprint; Facilitating science partnerships across GoI; and between GoI and academic research institutions for more effective science collaboration; Providing high performance computing infrastructure and fundamental data to support sophisticated hazard modelling; Providing academic scholarships to support the development of Indonesia’s future leaders of science; Developing and disseminating tools for integrating science into contingency planning and risk assessment processes. As previously mentioned, R&V was a component of AIFDR. The goal of AIFDR was to national and local capacity in disaster management in Indonesia, and promotion “strengthen of a more disaster resilient region”. A follow up program to R&V called DMInnovation commenced in August 2015. This program has a small team of GA staff based in Jakarta that continue to work with science agencies in Indonesia and support provincial and district planning. The program aims to build on the success of AIFDR and will maintain and enhance the scientific technical assistance program delivered in partnership between Indonesian science agencies and GA. Purpose and objectives of this review The ToRs state the objectives of this review are: Assess the effectiveness and sustainability of GA’s science program by addressing a range of high-level evaluation questions. Provide lessons learnt and recommendations that will inform and shape future disaster management programs. In addition to the review, the review team will be responsible for developing a collection of case studies assessing the extent to which innovative Australian and Indonesian science is informing disaster management policy and practice in Indonesia. The collection of case studies will form a separate report. Focus and scope of the review The review will consider the R&V program since its inception in 2008 until its completion in August 2015. The focus will be on the macro level of the R&V program. It is concerned with program outcomes, lessons learnt, and an assessment of the up’ of the R&V science ‘take information by Indonesian DM decision makers. It will not focus on the micro level of
