Indonesia Approves Rp100 Trillion for Sumatra Disaster Recovery Through 2028
Indonesia has approved a three-year recovery plan for disaster-hit Aceh, North Sumatra and West Sumatra, running from 2026 to 2028.
The plan covers 11,520 projects led by 23 government agencies, including repairs to roads, bridges, schools, homes and farmland.
The main agencies’ planned budget is about Rp100 trillion over three years, with another 10 agencies assigned supporting work.
The reported 2027 funding figures differ: one account says Rp32.9 trillion is planned for that year, while another describes about Rp42 trillion, including Rp9 trillion left unspent from 2026.
The funds are allocated to the agencies carrying out the work, not handed directly to the interior minister.
Officials aim to start work by January or February 2027, after agencies secure budget approval and begin early tendering.
Tito Karnavian also urged local governments to use disaster funds for recovery, as spending rates vary widely and some areas have yet to use their allocations.
President Prabowo Subianto approved about Rp42 trillion for disaster recovery in Aceh, North Sumatra and West Sumatra in 2027.
The amount includes about Rp33 trillion for 2027 and Rp9 trillion in 2026 funds that were not transferred to ministries and agencies in time.
The three-year recovery master plan covers 11,520 activities from 2026 to 2028, with about Rp100.16 trillion for 23 implementing ministries and agencies.
Projects include building or repairing roads, bridges, rivers, schools and homes, as well as restoring agriculture and fish farms.
The government hopes work can resume in January or, at the latest, February 2027.

What people are saying
For next year, we have submitted a need for approximately Rp33 trillion for all ministries and agencies. Added to that is Rp9 trillion from this year that has not been realized and transferred to ministries/agencies by the Ministry of Finance because there is too little time.
This master plan is for three years, 2026, 2027, 2028. It was approved by the President.
Use it for disaster-related needs. Do not just wait for the central government.
