Established at the end of 2009, within one year IMDFF-DR has completed institutional preparation as well as SOP for its working mechanism. In 2011, the New Zealand Government entrusted NZD 4 millionaid to be managed through the mechanism.The fund was primarily intended for the handling of the earthquake in Mentawai Island, West Sumatra.

In 2012, various disaster management activities were carried out, both in Mentawai and Merapi. That year, the New Zealand Government added its disaster fundby NZD 2.5 million.

In 2013, there was a review of IMDFF-DR role and the result was a transformation process. The role and scope of IMDFF-DR activities was expanded and became more flexible. IMDFF-DR SOP was updated.

The pilot project has been done by the Ministry of Public Works in 2005, when handling post-tsunami rehabilitation in Aceh and Nias. Through a community-based approach and relying on community self-reliance, the program was able to build 300 houses in just about 14 months.
