Abstract
This note presents a financial tracking
methodology developed by the World Bank's Indonesia
country team. Following the tsunami and the subsequent
earthquakes in Nias (2005) and Yogyakarta (2006), the team
has produced several reconstruction finance updates and
monitored the sources and uses of the funding. The
methodology is a relatively simple accounting tool centered
on the generation of a core table to facilitate sectoral and
geographical analysis and is based on three methodological
principles: (i) the comprehensiveness of expenditures; (ii)
a specific focus on reconstruction expenditures; and (iii)
matching the sectoral classifications in the Damage and Loss Assessment.
