The 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami was one of the deadliest disasters in modern history, leaving behind unimaginable loss. But for Indonesia, it was also the beginning of a profound shift — a commitment to building a future where communities are better prepared, safer, and more resilient. At the Global Facility for Disaster Reduction and Recovery (GFDRR), we’ve had the privilege of standing alongside Indonesia on this journey, helping them not only build back better, but build better even before disaster strikes again. Indonesia’s achievements in disaster risk management are a testament to what’s possible through determination and collaboration. Resilience is not achieved overnight. It is built over time — through hard decisions, strategic investments, and a shared vision for protecting lives and livelihoods. Indonesia’s story reminds us why GFDRR’s work matters and why we must continue advancing our mission for a more resilient world.

In 2004, the Indian Ocean Tsunami took over 230,000 lives, forever altering communities and exposing critical vulnerabilities in disaster response systems worldwide. For Indonesia, it was a catalyst for transforming its approach to disaster risk management. Since then, Indonesia has collaborated with global partners, including The World Bank’s Global Facility for Disaster Reduction and Recovery (GFDRR), to rebuild infrastructure, strengthen institutions, and foster resilience. At GFDRR, we are committed to supporting countries in building resilience — not just to rebuild after disasters but to reduce risk and protect lives before disaster strikes.
