Minister of Home Affairs, Tito Karnavian, as Head of the Sumatra Disaster Rehabilitation and Reconstruction Task Force, said that the recovery budget was divided into three allocation stages.
In detail, the government has budgeted Rp 38.9 trillion in 2026 for priorities such as basic infrastructure, schools, and housing. Then, Rp 32.9 trillion is allocated for 2027 and Rp 28.2 trillion for 2028.
“Our target for Huntap is to complete it by 2027 at the latest. We hope that people won’t have to stay in temporary housing (Huntara) for too long,” Tito emphasized.
Minister of PKP Maruarar Sirait continues to strengthen coordination with ministries/institutions, regional governments, and all stakeholders to accelerate the construction of permanent housing for disaster victims.
“Coordination has been carried out, and several cooperation options have been discussed, including with the LKPP (National Agency for Public Works and Public Housing), the prosecutor’s office, and the police, to ensure good governance. It is hoped that the procurement process will run smoothly by June 1 or 2, 2026,” said the Minister of PKP.
Deputy Speaker of the Indonesian House of Representatives, Sufmi Dasco Ahmad, emphasized the importance of accelerating cross-sectoral decisions in disaster management and recovery in affected areas.
“This meeting is a follow-up to the previous meeting between the Indonesian House of Representatives’ Disaster Task Force and the government, which aims to produce appropriate decisions regarding disaster management, which can be implemented by inviting the relevant ministers,” said Dasco.
The Chairman of the Indonesian House of Representatives’ Post-Disaster Recovery Task Force, Ace Hasan Syadzily, conveyed that field monitoring results indicated the need to accelerate the construction of permanent housing (Huntap) to support the relocation of affected communities.
“The results of monitoring and supervision should lead to a mutual agreement regarding the construction of the temporary housing units (Hunap), which must be completed immediately so that the local government can take concrete steps for relocation,” he said.
By preparing a targeted and sustainable reconstruction budget, the government is optimistic that the recovery process in the Sumatra region can proceed more quickly while strengthening national preparedness for potential future disasters.
