Notes
- Summary:
- This progress report outlines the work that has been done through the Java Reconstruction Fund (JRF), established under the initiative of the Indonesian Government following the May 27, 2006 earthquake and the July 2006 West Java tsunami. Initially projected for five years, it has been extended to 2012 in the aftermath of the October 26, 2010 volcano eruption at Mount Merapi. Table 2.1 on page 25 provides information on the costs of JRF funded projects, duration, and their targets. Seven donors have contributed a total of US$ 94.1 million to the JRF. Of that amount, $75 million was spent for community settlement reconstruction and rehabilitation projects, $10.76 million was used for livelihood recovery projects, $5.98 million was paid for rehabilitation of Middle and Small Enterprises, and $2.3 million spent for transitional housing. The donors include the European Commission ($ 51 million), the Government of Netherlands ($12 million), the Government of the United Kingdom ($10.77 million), the Asian Development Bank ($10 million), the Government of Canada ($6.53 million), the Government of Finland ($ 1.99 million), and the Government of Denmark ($1.6 million). The Fund has worked in three major areas: housing, infrastructure, and livelihoods. Through the JRF funding, 280,000 houses were reconstructed in less than two years; livelihood projects successfully rebuilt and improved businesses affected by the 2006 earthquake; 15,000 micro, small, and medium sized enterprises benefitted from the livelihood program, while 40 percent of the livelihood program beneficiaries were woman. In order to show the practical contributions of the JRF, the document covers several cases, including the reconstruction of seismic resistant houses, livelihood recovery of small farmers, loans and technical assistance to small businesses, and community settlement planning to build safer communities. The JRF, initially established for the five year period, was extended until June 2002 due to the 2006 Mount Merapi volcano. The JRF’s work in the area of livelihoods recovery is almost completed, while the JRF funds have been fully programmed. The document notes that the JRF offers important lessons for future post-disaster response programs as it responded to three different types of natural hazards: earthquake, tsunami, and volcanic eruption.
