INVEST DM 2.0 (Investing in Human Capital for Disaster Management), is a USAID/BHA multi-year funded program implemented by Mercy Corps  - with consortium partners Yayasan Mercy Corps Indonesia (YMCI) and University of Hawaii (UoH) - designed to provide a holistic approach to support BNPB in carrying out its roles and duties to fill systems and skills gaps in priority areas, including increasing technical capacity covering disaster preparedness, response, and recovery; policy planning and development; improved governance and institutional strengthening/ organizational development. All of this boils down to one aspect, namely, the development of human capital. The main objective of INVEST DM 2.0 is to strengthen the capacity of disaster management agencies in Indonesia and resources at various administrative levels to fulfill their mandate of providing effective and life-saving disaster management services.
