Sumatra Disaster Recovery Plan Includes 11,512 Activities, Key Priorities Outlined
Chairman of the Sumatra Disaster Recovery Acceleration Task Force (PRR) Muhammad Tito Karnavian stated that the plan is the primary guideline in the process towards permanent disaster recovery.
“Now, the process towards permanent recovery or rehab-rekon (rehabilitation and reconstruction). The key is the plan compiled from affected regencies, cities, provinces, and ministries/agencies. It is then coordinated by Bappenas and the PRR Task Force,” he said in a written statement on Monday, 25 May 2026.
According to Tito, the rehabilitation and reconstruction implementation is planned to last three years, from 2026 to 2028. The plan document records 11,512 programmes and activities to be carried out.
The total budget requirement for rehabilitation and reconstruction amounts to Rp100.166 trillion for the 2026-2028 period. Breakdown shows Rp38.9 trillion for 2026, Rp32.9 trillion for 2027, and Rp28.2 trillion for 2028.
The largest share of the budget is allocated to infrastructure development, totalling approximately Rp69 trillion over the three-year programme period.
“Infrastructure is the largest, totalling around Rp69 trillion over three years,” he said.
Additionally, the government prioritises permanent housing for affected communities with a budget allocation of around Rp7.4 trillion, targeted for completion by 2027 at the latest.
“Permanent housing is a priority to ensure affected communities do not remain in temporary shelters for too long,” Tito added.
In the same statement, Chairman of the DPR RI’s Disaster Recovery Task Force (Galapana) Sufmi Dasco Ahmad stated that the Sumatra Disaster Recovery Plan has received approval, enabling optimal rehabilitation and reconstruction through inter-ministerial and agency support.
According to Dasco, synergy between the central government, local governments, DPR RI, and all stakeholders is crucial for the disaster recovery process to be effective, targeted, and deliver tangible impacts for affected communities.
