2. Brief overview from Aceh-Nias Recovery Process
2005 - 2009
1) The 1st experience to employ Damages and Losses Assessment for recovery
strategy formulation, fully supported by the international community
2) Recovery strategies: outlined in the Master Plan for Aceh-Nias
Rehabilitation and Reconstruction (President Regulation 30/2005) and its
completion under Presidential Regulation 47/2008
3) Centralized ad-hoc institutional arrangement (Agency for Rehabilitaion and
Reconstruction/BRR) with multi-dimensional role: planning and resource
mobilization, implementation, monitoring and evaluation from 2005-2009
4) Centralized management for restoring communities and social capital,
rebuilding infrastructure, revising livelihoods and communicating the
recovery progress
5) Innovation: a strong communication strategy for non-government resource
mobilization, off-budget tracking MIS and asset-tracking MIS
6) Resource mobilized: Rp 35,36 trillion (National budget+on-budget external
assistance), USD 685,15 million (committed Multi Donor Fund), USD 3,70
million (non MDF external assistance/off-budget)
7) Initially insignificant degree of participation of the line-ministries/agencies
and provincial and local governments in Aceh and Nias, high degree of
international attention and contribution, towards a gradually shifting the
responsibility to the provincial and local government level

5. 1) Under the prevailing Law no. 24/2007, Government Regulation no. 21/2008,
Government Regulation no. 22/2008 and Government Regulation no. 23/2009;
the guideline for rehabilitation and reconstruction has been issued by National
Disaster Management Agency (BNPB) through BNPB regulation no. 11/2009
2) BNPB has authorized mandate to discharge the on-call financing from APBN
source, based on needs for post disaster recovery
3) National Development Planning Agency (Bappenas), Ministry of Finance and
BNPB collaborate closely to mobilize APBN-sector funding for relevant line
ministries through additional budget mechanism, and coordinate planning for
Government Annual Workplan
4) To prevent delay for reconstruction, it was overcomed by: a) reconfiguring
existing projects and programs in the disaster-affected area; b) drawing on
government sources of financing; and c) mobilizing external assistance from
donors and NGOs that can flow outside of the government budget to support
government policies and programs
5) Bappenas leads the effort to mobilize external assistance through the
Indonesian Multi Donor Fund Facility For Disaster Recovery and signing the
MoU with The United Nations and the World Bank.
IMPROVING IMPLEMENTATION FRAMEWORK AND
GOVERNANCE FOR POST-DISASTER RECOVERY POLICY

6. 1. The simplicity of recovery framework has been adopted (with locality
modification) at post-earthquake in West Sumatera (2007), and post-earthquake in
West Java-Central Java (2009), West Sumatera (2009), Mentawai Island, and
Merapi Eruption and lava flood (2010)
2. The existing public funding regulations and mechanisms does not allow a quick
response to post disaster needs, except from the restricted “on-call” resources
managed by the National Disaster Management Agency
3. Immediately after humanitarian relief, an interim intervention is required to
address the on-going crisis for the provision of transitional shelter, water and
sanitation, temporary health and education facilities, food allowance, protection
etc. to the affected communities
4. A national post disaster recovery fund may be an alternative mechanism to
address current and future disaster response in Indonesia, that should have the
following features: (a) provide flexible financing instrument for systematic
response to disaster, preferably for longer-term and future use if desired; and (b)
focus on financing critical post disaster needs ie: housing, community
infrastructure, livelihoods, disaster risk reduction, technical assistance for quality
assurance, monitoring and evaluation
5. To fill-out the gap for interim intervention and scarcity of fund for longer term
recovery, international assistance is required
IMPROVEMENT FOR FUTURE PERSPECTIVE
OF DISASTER RECOVERY FRAMEWORK

7. LESSON LEARNED AND WAY FORWARDS
Since 2005 until 2012, a significant evolution is made on post disaster recovery
management in Indonesia:
1. Recovery policy incorporated disaster risk reduction and preparedness to
overcome possible future disaster, in alignment with Law no. 24/2007
2. Strengthening the local capacity for disaster management is become one of
the GoI priority under National Medium-term Development Plan 2010-2014
3. Disaster management agency has been established at central, provincial and
local level to lead and coordinate the pre-disaster, during and post disaster
program implementation
4. Damage and Loss Assessment, Post-Disaster Need Assessment (PDNA) and
Post-Disaster Recovery Action Plan adopted as reference for recovery
implementation guideline
5. Partnership on external assistance is coordinated through the Indonesia
Disaster Fund (IDF) mechanism; led and managed by the government, for
effective resource mobilization and for filling the financing gap
6. Most importantly, on general perspective, recovery management responsibility
has been decentralized through lesson-learned and best practices in Aceh-Nias,
Yogyakarta-Central Java, West Java, West Sumatera from 2005-2012 period.
