Post-Disaster Rehabilitation and Reconstruction Costs Across Sumatra Reach Rp56.3 Trillion, Bappenas Details Breakdown
Jakarta — The Ministry of National Development Planning/National Development Planning Agency (PPN/Bappenas) has disclosed the total funding requirements for ministerial and institutional action plans for disaster recovery across three regions in Sumatra.
Bappenas Deputy for Regional Development Medrilzam explained that the total rehabilitation and reconstruction costs following disasters in Aceh, North Sumatra, and West Sumatra amount to Rp56.3 trillion, encompassing 2,108 activities over the next three years.
“This is what has at least been matched between what is needed by each regional government and what has been designed by our colleagues at the central level,” he said while presenting the Master Plan for the Acceleration of Post-Disaster Rehabilitation and Reconstruction (Renduk PRRP) for the provinces of Aceh, North Sumatra, and West Sumatra at the Bappenas building in Jakarta on Thursday.
In accordance with Presidential Instruction No. 18 of 2025 and Presidential Decree No. 1 of 2026, the preparation of this master plan is accompanied by action plans drawn up by the relevant ministries and institutions.
Additionally, the plans have been harmonised and verified based on the results of Post-Disaster Needs Assessments (Jitupasna) compiled by 53 affected local governments across the three provinces.
Taking into account the Jitupasna figures from each province and the total overall funding requirement of Rp205.3 trillion for 142,712 activities, further verification of the scale of these needs is required, and adjustments must be made to reflect actual conditions on the ground. The action plans from 32 ministries and institutions recorded 6,545 activities with total financing of Rp68.9 trillion.
Based on the alignment of Jitupasna with the ministerial action plans, an agreed set of activities worth approximately Rp56.3 trillion has been established, to be implemented by the central government during Fiscal Years 2026, 2027, and 2028. Given that discrepancies remain between the assessed needs and the action plans, the Sumatra Renduk PRRP document remains provisional as a first version.
If necessary, Bappenas affirmed that the document may be adjusted to incorporate post-disaster needs figures from the Jitupasna that have undergone further verification by the National Disaster Management Agency (BNPB).
In greater detail, the total rehabilitation and reconstruction requirements for Aceh over the next three years are Rp20.37 trillion, Rp14.53 trillion, and Rp10.92 trillion respectively. For North Sumatra, the figures are Rp817.11 billion, Rp1.13 trillion, and Rp155.17 billion. For West Sumatra, the amounts are Rp4.35 trillion, Rp2.28 trillion, and Rp1.73 trillion.
