The Task Force\nfor Accelerating Rehabilitation and Reconstruction (Rehab-Rekon)\ncontinues to expedite on-site physical activities, one of which is the\nenvironmental cleanup programme through the Cash for Work scheme.<\/p>\n<p>In the initial phase at the end of March, activities were focused on\ntwo affected districts, namely Pidie Jaya Regency and Aceh Tamiang\nRegency, involving hundreds of combined personnel and local\nresidents.<\/p>\n<p>In Pidie Jaya Regency, 375 people were deployed in the first phase,\nconsisting of Satpol PP, Linmas, Firefighting Volunteers (Redkar), and\nresidents. Cleanup activities were carried out in Gampong Meunasah Lhok\n(Meureudu Subdistrict) and Gampong Meunasah Raya (Meurah Dua\nSubdistrict) from 28 March to 4 April 2026.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, in Aceh Tamiang Regency, around 400 residents have\nparticipated in a similar programme from 27 March to 2 April 2026. In\naddition to restoring environmental conditions, this programme is also\ndesigned to provide direct economic impacts to the community.<\/p>\n<p>The Head of the Aceh Regional Post, who is also the Director General\nof Regional Administration Development (Adwil) of the Ministry of Home\nAffairs, Safrizal ZA, stated that the Cash for Work scheme was chosen so\nthat the community gains dual benefits from the rehabilitation\nprocess.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe ensure that this programme not only focuses on infrastructure and\nenvironmental improvements but also helps household economies. Through\nCash for Work, residents are directly involved in recovery while earning\nincome to meet needs after Eid,\u201d said Safrizal, who previously served as\nActing Governor of Aceh.<\/p>\n<p>He also emphasised the importance of quickly and accurately\ndistributing workers\u2019 rights. Each programme participant receives a wage\nof Rp120,000 per day plus a meal allowance of Rp45,000.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur main principle is transparency and effectiveness. Payments are\nmade in cash directly to workers in the field, so the spirit of mutual\ncooperation is maintained without neglecting the community\u2019s economic\nrights,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n<p>This programme is part of the government\u2019s ongoing commitment to\nensure that affected areas in Aceh can recover comprehensively with the\nprinciple of better reconstruction.<\/p>",
