was becoming increasingly common. They said that more and more patients were growing resistant to the bacteria-fighting drugs because of incorrect prescription or dos-ages. Antibiotic overuse can weaken a person’s ability to fight disease because it would cause bacteria to develop resistance to drug designed to destroy them, prompting the rise of multi drug-resistant illnesses. Eight people have died of rabies in Central Sulawesi in the past five months, health agency officials said on 26 April, bringing the to-tal deaths in Indonesia to well over 100 since 2008. The West Jakarta municipal government recorded 161,654 cases of HIV/Aids in 2010, a spokesman said on 6 April.
Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR)
The national conference of the National Platform for DRR conference, which was to elect a new executive board and chairperson, was held on 28 April. This event reflected the stronger intention from various stakeholders including the private sector to build links with each other within the framework of the National Platform. Also on 28 April, the Coordinating Ministry for People’s Welfare held a high level roundtable preparation meeting for the Disaster Resources Partnership (DRP) to be held in May 2011. The idea of having DRP in Indonesia also showed the increasing role of the pri-vate sector on disaster education. The Directorate General for Middle Education (Dikmen), of the Ministry of National Education, conducted a workshop on 28-29 April to develop guidelines on emergency middle education. The workshop involved members of the Consortium for Disaster Education (CDE) which includes members of the Education Cluster. The initiative of Dikmen to develop the guidelines with sup-port from the CDE also reflects an acknowledgement of the initiatives taken by various non-government organisations.
ASEAN
The Foreign Ministers of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) and Japan conducted a meeting in Jakarta on 9 April, aimed at boosting the safety of nuclear power plants in the wake of the earthquake and tsunami that has triggered the nuclear crisis in Japan. It was the first time ASE-AN has convened a foreign ministerial meeting in response to a disaster that occurred outside the territory of the 10-member grouping. The meeting was conducted as ASEAN member states such as Indonesia, Thailand and Vietnam are considering building nuclear power plants to meet the ris-ing demand for electricity in their nations. ASEAN members stated their support for Japan’s resolve to take a leadership role in the international undertaking to improve the safety of nuclear power plants, and its willingness to share experienc-es learned from the accident with ASEAN member statexperienc-es.
terjadi peningkatan. Mereka mengatakan bahwa semakin banyak pasien menjadi resisten terhadap obat yang melawan bakteri karena resep atau dosis yang tidak tepat. Antibiotik yang berlebihan dapat melemahkan kemampuan seseorang untuk melawan penyakit karena akan menyebabkan bakteri untuk mengembangkan resistensi terhadap obat yang diran-cang untuk menghancurkan mereka, dan mendorong mun-culnya penyakit-penyakit yang resisten terhadap berbagai obat. Delapan orang meninggal akibat rabies di Sulawesi Ten-gah dalam lima bulan terakhir, para petugas kesehatan menga-takan bahwa pada tanggal 26 April, sehingga total kematian di Indonesia lebih dari 100 sejak tahun 2008. Pemerintah Kota Jakarta Barat mencatat 161.654 kasus HIV/Aids pada tahun 2010, kata seorang jurubicara pada tanggal 6 April.
Pengurangan Risiko Bencana (PRB)
Konferensi nasional Platform nasional untuk PRB, yang dis-elenggarakan untuk memilih anggota pengurus dan ketua baru, diadakan pada tanggal 28 April.

Juga pada tanggal 28 April, Kementerian Koordinator bidang Kesejahteraan Rakyat menggelar pertemuan tingkat tinggi persiapan meja bundar untuk Kemitraan Sumberdaya untuk Kebencanaan (DRP) yang akan diadakan pada Mei 2011. Ide untuk mengadakan DRP di Indonesia adalah juga menunjukkan meningkatnya peran sektor swasta dalam pendidikan bencana. Direktorat Jenderal Pendidikan Menengah (Dikmen), Kementerian Pen-didikan Nasional, mengadakan workshop pada tanggal 28-29 April untuk mengembangkan pedoman kedaruratan pada pendidikan tingkat menengah. Lokakarya ini melibatkan ang-gota dari Konsorsium Pendidikan Bencana (KPB) yang meli-puti anggota dari Cluster Pendidikan. Inisiatif Dikmen untuk mengembangkan pedoman dengan dukungan dari KPB juga mencerminkan sambutan atas inisiatif yang diambil oleh ber-bagai organisasi non-pemerintah.
ASEAN
Para Menteri Luar Negeri Perhimpunan Bangsa-bangsa Asia Tenggara (ASEAN) dan Jepang mengadakan pertemuan di Jakarta pada tanggal 9 April, yang ditujukan untuk mening-katkan keselamatan PLTN setelah gempa bumi dan tsuna-mi yang metsuna-micu krisis nuklir di Jepang. Ini adalah pertama kalinya ASEAN mengadakan pertemuan tingkat menteri luar negeri yang membahas suatu bencana yang terjadi di luar wilayah ke-sepuluh negara anggota. Pertemuan itu di-lakukan karena negara-negara anggota ASEAN seperti In-donesia, Thailand dan Vietnam sedang mempertimbangkan membangun pembangkit tenaga nuklir untuk memenuhi meningkatnya permintaan akan energi listrik di negara terse-but. Anggota ASEAN menyatakan dukungan mereka untuk keputusan Jepang dalam mengambil peran kepemimpinan dalam upaya internasional untuk meningkatkan keselama-tan PLTN, dan kesediaannya untuk berbagi pengalaman be-lajar dari kecelakaan dengan negara-negara anggota ASEAN.
ASEAN acknowledged Japan’s assurance to provide infor-mation to the “international community” with maximum transparency” on the response to the accident involv-ing the crippled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant. The ASEAN Coordination Centre for Humanitarian As-sistance (AHA Centre) was also discussed at great length. The meeting concluded that the triple crises affecting Japan have further reinforced the importance of the operations of the AHA Centre, particularly in risk identification and monitoring, as well as joint disaster relief and emergency responses. ASEAN and Japan will work together in closer cooperation and coordination in the areas of disaster pre-vention and management, and disaster relief operations. The 15th meeting of ASEAN Finance Ministers was held in Bali on 7-8 April to promote closer cooperation between ASEAN and Japan, South Korea and China as well as the Asian Development Bank (ADB). Among the concerns dis-cussed were the current surge in capital flows, emerging inflationary pressures and strong commodity price volatil-ity. A coordinated response to these problems was deemed necessary given the high interdependence among ASEAN economies. A monitoring facility called the ASEAN+3 Mac-roeconomic and Research Office (AMRO) is to be estab-lished in Singapore. The $120-billion facility will serve as the region’s economic and financial overseer and will ad-dress the member countries’ problems with their balance of payments. An agreement was also reached to launch an infrastructure fund later this year to finance infrastructure projects in the region. The USD 450 to 480 million fund would be launched in September this year, with Indonesia contributing USD 120 million, the second-largest amount. Malaysia is the biggest contributor with USD 150 million.
Other
The Ministry of Forestry says that illegal logging, land clear-ance, forest fires and mining has devastated Kalimantan and cost Indonesia an estimated IDR 311.4 trillion (circa USD 36.4 billion). An official said that an estimated 1,236 mining firms and 537 oil palm plantation companies were operating illegally in Central, East and West Kalimantan. The Forestry Minister said on 14 April that the govern-ment has stopped new concessions for forest production companies for between two to four years. “We’ve already provided forest concessions to process 26 million hec-tares of our forests within the last 30 years. We’re not go-ing to give any more concessions for between two to four years,” Zulkifli said during the opening of the third IndoG-reen Forestry Expo 2011 at the Jakarta Convention Center.
The Asian Development Bank (ADB) said on 6 April that Asian economic growth will ease slight-ly to just under eight per cent in the next two years
ASEAN menerima jaminan Jepang untuk memberikan infor-masi kepada “masyarakat internasional “dengan transparansi maksimum” pada penanganan kecelakaan yang menyebabkan lumpuhnya pabrik tenaga nuklir Fukushima Daiichi
Pusat Koordinasi untuk Bantuan Kemanusiaan ASEAN (AHA Centre) juga dibahas lebih lanjut. Pertemuan tersebut meny-impulkan bahwa krisis beruntun yang melanda Jepang mem-perkuat pentingnya pengoperasian AHA Centre, khususnya dalam mengidentifikasi dan memantau risiko, serta menanga-ni bersama bencana dan tanggap darurat. ASEAN dan Jepang akan bekerja bersama untuk memperkuat kerjasama dan koordinasi di bidang pencegahan dan pengelolaan bencana, dan operasi bantuan tanggap darurat bencana. Pertemuan ke-15 Para Menteri Keuangan ASEAN diselenggarakan di Bali pada tanggal 7-8 April untuk mengedepankan kerjasama yang lebih erat antara ASEAN dan Jepang, Korea Selatan dan Cina serta Bank Pembangunan Asia (ADB). Di antara hal-hal yang dibahas adalah lonjakan arus modal, meningkatnya te-kanan inflasi dan lonjakan harga komoditas yang kuat. Suatu respon yang terkoordinasi untuk masalah ini dianggap perlu mengingat saling ketergantungan yang tinggi diantara nega-ra-negara ASEAN. Sebuah fasilitas pemantauan yang disebut ASEAN +3 Ekonomi Makro dan Penelitian Kantor (AMRO) akan didirikan di Singapura. Fasilitas senilai $ 120 milyar akan berfungsi sebagai pengawas ekonomi dan keuangan wilayah dan akan membantu mengatasi masalah neraca pembayaran negara-negara anggota. Sebuah perjanjian juga dicapai untuk meluncurkan dana infrastruktur di tahun ini untuk membiayai proyek-proyek infrastruktur di wilayah tersebut. USD 450-480 juta dana akan diluncurkan pada bulan September tahun ini, dengan Indonesia memberikan kontribusi USD 120 juta, jumlah terbesar kedua. Malaysia adalah penyumbang terbesar dengan USD 150 juta.
Lain-lain
Kementerian Kehutanan mengatakan bahwa pembukaan la-han penebangan liar, kebakaran hutan dan pertambangan telah menghancurkan Kalimantan dan menyebabkan kerugian bagi Indonesia dengan perkirakan Rp 311,4 trilyun (sekitar USD 36,4 milyar). Seorang pejabat mengatakan bahwa diperkira-kan 1.236 perusahaan tambang dan 537 perusahaan perkebu-nan kelapa sawit yang beroperasi secara ilegal di Kalimantan Tengah, Kalimantan Timur dan Kalimantan Barat. Menteri Kehutanan mengatakan pada tanggal 14 April bahwa pemer-intah telah menyetop pemberian izin baru kepada perusahaan produksi hutan antara dua sampai empat tahun. “Kami sudah memberikan perizinan pengelolaan hutan untuk memproses 26 juta hektar hutan kita dalam 30 tahun terakhir. Kami tidak akan memberikan lebih banyak perizinan antara dua sampai empat tahun, “kata Zulkifli saat pembukaan Kehutanan Indo-Green ketiga Expo 2011 di Jakarta Convention Center. Bank Pembangunan Asia (ADB) pada tanggal 6 April men-gatakan bahwa pertumbuhan ekonomi Asia akan sedikit berkurang, hanya di bawah delapan persen dalam dua tahun

as the region continues a solid recovery, although rising food prices threaten to throw more people into poverty. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) released a simi-lar forecast on 28 April, predicting strong Asian economic growth of close to seven per cent this year and in 2012. The IMF said that China and India will lead Asian growth, while Indonesia is expected to expand more than six per cent during the two-year period. Both reports warned that there are signs of overheating, with inflation in Asia rising to over four per cent in February. Higher oil and food prices are starting to feed into broader inflation and will affect the poor. Inflation will continue to rise this year before slowing modestly in 2012. The IMF report warned of other risks, including turmoil in the Middle East and North Africa that threatens to drive up oil prices. It also warned about uncer-tainties over the effects of Japan’s recent tsunami.
ke depan karena kawasan ini melanjutkan pemulihan yang bagus, walaupun kenaikan harga pangan mengancam lebih banyak orang yang akan jatuh ke dalam kemiskinan. Dana Moneter Internasional (IMF) merilis perkiraan yang sama pada tanggal 28 April, memprediksi pertumbuhan ekonomi yang kuat di Asia yang mendekati tujuh persen tahun ini dan pada tahun 2012. IMF mengatakan bahwa Cina dan India akan memimpin pertumbuhan di Asia, sementara Indonesia diduga dapat tumbuh lebih dari enam persen selama periode dua tahun. Kedua laporan tersebut memperingatkan bahwa ada tanda-tanda terlalu panas (overheating), dengan inflasi di Asia meningkat menjadi lebih dari empat persen di bulan Februari. Harga minyak dan pangan yang meningkat mulai menyebabkan inflasi yang lebih luas dan akan mempengaruhi masyarakat miskin. Inflasi akan terus meningkat tahun ini se-belum menurun sedikit di tahun 2012. Laporan IMF mem-peringatkan risiko lainnya, termasuk gejolak di Timur Tengah dan Afrika Utara yang memicu kenaikan harga minyak. Hal ini juga memperingatkan mengenai ketidakpastian atas dampak tsunami di Jepang baru-baru ini.
