Abstract

This article examines the implementation of a global protection cluster approach and local wisdom for Rohingya refugees in Aceh, Indonesia. The global protection cluster approach emphasizes collaboration between various stakeholders to ensure the protection and assistance of refugees. This approach is complemented by the integration of local wisdom, which takes into account the cultural, social, and economic aspects of the host community, to create a more sustainable and inclusive environment for Rohingya refugees. The Indonesian government, local government, and communities in Aceh have been commended for their generosity and support to the Rohingya refugees. Guided by Presidential Regulation No. 125 on the Care of Refugees, UNHCR works with authorities, partners, NGOs, and humanitarian actors to ensure refugees' basic needs are fulfilled. However, the number of Rohingya refugees making dangerous sea voyages in the Asia Pacific region has increased, indicating their growing desperation and the ongoing persecution they face in Myanmar. By combining the global protection cluster approach and local wisdom, this article highlights the potential for improving the lives of Rohingya refugees in Aceh. The outcomes of this approach can contribute to the development of more effective and sustainable solutions for the global refugee crisis.
