Prabowo Approves Rp 100 Trillion Budget for Sumatra Disaster Recovery
President Prabowo Subianto has approved a post-disaster recovery budget of Rp 100.1 trillion over three years. The funding will be channelled through 23 primary ministries and agencies, along with 10 supporting ones.
This was announced by Home Affairs Minister and Head of the Sumatra Post-Disaster Rehabilitation and Reconstruction Acceleration Task Force, Tito Karnavian. “The President has issued a directive approving a total three-year budget of Rp 100.1 trillion, divided into three phases,” Tito stated in Jakarta on Thursday, 18 June 2026.
Tito explained the budget will be split into three phases: Rp 38.9 trillion in 2026, Rp 32.9 trillion in 2027, and Rp 28.2 trillion in 2028. The funds are designated for key ministries including Public Works, Primary and Secondary Education, Religious Affairs, Transportation, Agriculture, Marine Affairs and Fisheries, and Housing and Settlement Areas, alongside 10 other supporting ministries and agencies.
According to Tito, most ministries and agencies have already submitted disbursement requests to the Ministry of Finance. Five of them have already received funds and commenced rehabilitation and reconstruction programmes according to their duties and functions. “The others are being processed at the Ministry of Finance,” he said. “We request support from the steering committee chair and members to accelerate the process, and also from the finance minister to expedite these submissions.”
Beyond the central government budget, regional administrations have also received Regional Transfers amounting to Rp 10.6 trillion for three provinces, as directly ordered by President Prabowo. “This Rp 1.6 trillion is for Aceh. Then for West Sumatra, approximately Rp 2.3 trillion, and Rp 6.1 trillion for North Sumatra,” Tito detailed.
Tito expressed hope that the budget would be maximised by ministries, agencies, and regional governments to complete the reconstruction of infrastructure and public facilities affected by the disaster. “We held a meeting directly in Banda Aceh with governors and all regents and mayors so that this budget is truly mobilised immediately and utilised to resolve urgent problems in each region,” Tito said.
Previously, Tito reported that post-disaster recovery progress in several Sumatran regions showed relatively good results, with 97 per cent of temporary housing already constructed. Recovery progress is evident across various indicators in the governance, health, education, infrastructure, and temporary shelter sectors.
