KARINA (Caritas Indonesia) is the humanitarian arm of the Bishops’ Conference of Indonesia based in East Jakarta and is officially considered as a member of the Caritas Internationalist confederation. Established in mid-2006, Karina completed its first strategic planning in early 2008. One of the results of the strategic planning is the identification of 3 (three) main Divisions: Programs Division, Support Division and Total Quality Management Division. KARINA acts as a coordinating and facilitating body for all the 37 Dioceses incorporated under the Bishops’ Conference of Indonesia.

KARINA (Caritas Indonesia) is at national level is based in Jakarta. Therefore a network of Diocesan/local Caritas is fully functioning. CARITAS INDONESIA with Diocesan Accompaniment initiative is working in order to strengthen Diocesan Caritas Basic Identity, to strengthen Diocesan Caritas Basic structure, to accompany Diocesan Caritas in pursuing locally defined objectives based on a better knowledge of the territory. The final aim is to provide better services to the poorest of the poor at local/diocesan level These are the 3 dimensions of Caritas (Identity/Values, Structure, Context Analysis)

The main actors of this processare the Diocesan Caritas which will be helped to develop itself on the 3dimensions of Caritas (identity, structureandcontext). 8 diocesan Caritas are involved in this process.

 

For this reason Diocesan Accompaniment is flexible (Taylor-made approach), but lso systematic and coherent; it is a long term partnership with the diocesan Caritas, but also helps to give future and sustainability to the local Caritas. Karina (Caritas Indonesia) is the leading partner in this accompaniment, but this process is a real team work where both of the parties have responsibility, rights and duties.
