Jakarta (ANTARA) - President Prabowo Subianto has approved the allocation of Rp100.1 trillion (US$5.6 billion) for post-disaster recovery in Sumatra, which will be disbursed over a three-year period through government ministries and agencies.
"The president has issued a directive to approve the three-year post-disaster recovery budget of Rp100.1 trillion, whose disbursement will be divided into three phases," Home Minister and Sumatra Disaster Rehabilitation and Reconstruction Acceleration Task Force Head Tito Karnavian stated here on Thursday.
He explained that Rp38.9 trillion (US$2.17 billion) will be disbursed in the first phase in 2026, while the second disbursement in 2027 will be Rp32.9 trillion (US$1.84 billion), and Rp28.2 trillion (US$1.57 billion) in 2028.
The budget will be distributed to 23 government ministries such as the Public Works Ministry, Transportation Ministry, Agriculture Ministry, and Housing and Settlements Ministry, as well as 10 supporting agencies.
Karnavian said that most of the responsible ministries and agencies have applied for the recovery fund to the Finance Ministry, with five of them having received the funds and begun implementing the rehabilitation and construction works according to their responsibilities.
"The Finance Ministry is processing the application from other ministries. We appealed to the steering committee head and members, as well as the Finance Ministry, to help expedite the process," he stated.
Local authorities have also received the Rp10.6 trillion (US$593 million) regional transfer fund allocated for the three disaster-affected provinces as instructed by President Prabowo.
"Rp1.6 trillion (US$89.5 million) will be allocated to Aceh, Rp2.6 trillion (US$145 million) for West Sumatra, and Rp6.1 trillion (US$341 million) for North Sumatra," he added.
Karnavian expressed hope that the budget can be optimized by ministries and agencies, including regional governments, to expedite the reconstruction of public infrastructure and facilities affected by the disaster last year, which killed over 1,000 and caused extensive damage in several regions in Sumatra.
The minister also confirmed that his side had convened a series of meetings with regional leaders to ensure prompt resolution of issues that may arise during the reconstruction process.
Previously, the minister said that the post-disaster recovery in several areas in Sumatra has shown positive progress, with 97 percent of temporary housing for affected residents, as well as the reconstruction of public facilities, completed.
