The Aceh Provincial Government has formally requested Rp153.3 trillion (approximately US$9.09 billion) from the National Disaster Mitigation Agency (BNPB) to fund post-disaster rehabilitation and reconstruction efforts. The request, submitted on February 3, 2026, outlines a comprehensive plan to address the widespread damage and losses resulting from recent floods, and landslides.
Recovery Plan Details
According to Muhammad MTA, spokesperson for the Aceh Provincial Government, the proposed budget is allocated across multiple levels of authority. Rp41.8 trillion is designated for ministries and agencies, Rp22 trillion for Aceh Province itself, Rp60.43 trillion for the region’s districts and cities, and Rp29 trillion for the private sector and local communities.
The submitted Post-Disaster Rehabilitation and Reconstruction Plan (R3P) includes comprehensive data on damage and losses. A team from the National Development Planning Ministry (Bappenas) has already visited Aceh to coordinate with provincial officials and ensure the plan is aligned with national priorities.
Verification and Next Steps
BNPB has begun verifying the administrative details of the R3P, and will follow this with on-the-ground assessments to confirm the proposed recovery plans. Following verification, BNPB will forward its findings to Bappenas to prepare a formal post-disaster rehabilitation and reconstruction program.
Recovery efforts are currently underway at the central, provincial, and local levels. Aceh, along with North Sumatra and West Sumatra, experienced severe flooding and landslides in late November 2025. As of February 8, these disasters have resulted in 1,204 fatalities across the three provinces, with 562 deaths recorded in Aceh.
