As the contributors to the Java Reconstruction Fund (JRF),
we emphasize our support for its goal to respond to the most basic
needs of the households affected by the 2006 Java earthquake and tsunami
in terms of rebuilding housing, recovering livelihoods and increasing
disaster preparedness. The scale of the damage, valued at US$3.1 billion,
and the government’s leadership of the reconstruction, warranted
our support.
Building on the success of the Multi-Donor Fund for Aceh and Nias
as a financing mechanism and a forum for enhanced coordination and
effectiveness, we decided to pool our funds to support the reconstruction
process. As 51 percent of damage was in the housing sector and 31
percent in the productive sector, we decided to concentrate our support
on these two priorities.
We welcome the central and leading role that local governments are
playing in the reconstruction efforts in Yogyakarta, Central and West
Java. We also appreciate the close cooperation that the JRF’s
projects have developed with local governments, ensuring our contributions
are in support of government plans and initiatives. We will continue
to work together to empower local communities, ensuring that their
needs are met and that reconstruction is sustainable.
