| Summary: | Rekompak is Indonesia's innovative
community-based model for post-disaster housing
reconstruction, created and adapted through the Multi Donor
Fund for Aceh and Nias (MDF) and the Java Reconstruction
Fund (JRF) between 2005 and 2012. It was created as a
consequence of the many devastating natural disasters that
struck Indonesia between 2004 and 2010. The disasters caused
massive loss of life and injuries and destroyed hundreds of
thousands of homes, infrastructure facilities and
livelihoods. In addition, more than one million people were
displaced. The Government of lndonesia and development
partners agreed that a community-based approach would be
used for rebuilding houses and community infrastructure,
first in Aceh and later in Java. This document presents the
key elements of this approach and relays the experience and
lessons learned in the course of implementing and scaling up
the Rekompak housing reconstruction efforts in Aceh and
Java. Rekompak built upon existing mechanisms and expertise
and these were scaled up many-fold to meet reconstruction
needs. While the concept of community-based reconstruction
was not deemed to be the ideal method under the
circumstances, it was implemented nonetheless, and its
tremendous success is evidence of the efficacy and benefits
of such a reconstruction model. |
