Indonesia accelerates Sumatra disaster recovery efforts

Sumatra disaster recovery Tito Karnavian Prabowo Subianto Aceh reconstruction Indonesia disaster relief

President Prabowo Subianto led a cabinet meeting to evaluate the one-year progress of post-disaster recovery in Aceh, North Sumatra, and West Sumatra. The disasters, which occurred in late 2025, affected 53 districts and cities, displacing over 2.1 million people and damaging more than 184,000 homes.

Minister of Home Affairs Tito Karnavian, acting as head of the Sumatra Reconstruction Task Force, emphasized the need to optimize regional budgets to speed up rehabilitation. While many sectors have seen progress, 12 markets in Aceh remain closed and require urgent repairs. Recovery efforts are currently targeting infrastructure, education, health, and the revitalization of micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs).

In North Sumatra, the reconstruction needs are estimated at approximately Rp30.56 trillion. The central government has already allocated at least Rp12.34 trillion in support to the affected regions. Plans are being finalized to ensure the continuity of rehabilitation and reconstruction programs through 2028, including preparations for potential hydrometeorological disasters.
