YAKKUM Emergency Unit (YEU) as one of the partners of the Huairou Commission (HC) has been working together for 9 years and has assisted in the empowerment of Women in 66 groups in Yogyakarta and Central Java. With funding provided by the Asian Development Bank through HC in 2024, YEU will implement a Community Resilience Partnership Program (CRPP) in five villages in Gunungkidul. On 9-11 September 2024, the Huairou Commission team visited partners in Indonesia, including a YEU-assisted group.

The CRPP project aims to increase government investment in strengthening the resilience of poor and vulnerable communities affected by climate change. In particular, the project focuses on learning from transformational solutions at the community level, which explicitly address the intersecting impacts of climate, gender, and poverty.
