Abstract
Already one of the poorest regions in
Indonesia, the island of Nias was badly affected by the twin
disasters of the 26 December 2004 tsunami and a devastating
earthquake that struck three months later, on 28 March 2005.
Now, more than two years after the disasters and despite the
significant progress that has undoubtedly been made, some
troubling trends are starting to emerge, of which this
report takes stock. In particular, funds are not being
disbursed at the desired pace as the reconstruction effort
faces enormous implementation challenges. The allocation of
significant resources for reconstruction, as well as the
decentralization process, entails both opportunities and
challenges for the development of Nias. This report assists
in making use of those opportunities and overcoming the
challenges by informing the planning and budgeting process
of the two district governments in Nias, and analyzing
constraints in public financial management in both
districts, as well as identifying key gaps in the
reconstruction process.
