The JRF – using a governance structure similar to the MDF -- is governed by a steering committee responsible for:

• endorsing overall priorities
• endorsing project financing proposals
• reviewing fund progress
• ensuring coherence and collaboration with activities funded by the government’s action plan
• the results framework

The steering committee also serves as a forum for policy dialogue with the government on issues relating to the reconstruction and development efforts.

Members of the Steering Committee are:

• a representative from the National Coordinating Team, formed to coordinate and implement the reconstruction efforts in Yogyakarta and Central Java
• The contributing donors to the JRF
• The World Bank as trustee

The Indonesian government representative co-chairs the steering committee, along with the European Commission, as the largest donor, and the World Bank.

The steering committee invites other participants from non-contributing bi-lateral and multilateral agencies, the UN, civil society, and local and international non-governmental organizations, to join the steering committee as observers.

The day-to-day operation of the JRF is managed by a joint secretariat that also manages the MDF. Specific duties of the secretariat include monitoring and evaluating the JRF’s portfolio, coordinating the JRF’s activities and administering its funds.
