Policy Note: Environmental Management for a Sustainable Economic Development Strategy for Nanggroe Aceh Darussalam- CSIRO Description:
This policy note sets out a framework for environmental management to support the sustainable economic development of the Nanggroe Aceh Darussalam province. The policy note has been prepared by the Australian Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (CSIRO) in collaboration with its Indonesian associates and is one of a series being prepared for the World Bank Indonesia Office to provide information to the provincial government to support the preparation of an economic development strategy for the province Post-tsunami aid effectiveness in Aceh: proliferation and coordination in reconstruction- Harry Masyrafah and Jock McKeon Description:
This paper seeks to provide some insight into the effects of such an influx whilst also exploring some of the coordination mechanisms put in place to manage what was the largest reconstruction program in the developing world at the time. The influx of aid was seen as an opportunity to reach a peaceful settlement of the insurgency and for all parties to work towards community development, not only in rebuilding Aceh, but building it back better. Nearly 500 agencies flooded into the province, bringing funding and promises of a brighter future, whilst creating the enormous logistical challenge of doing so without duplicating efforts and squandering resources
Tracking Reconstruction Funds in Indonesia after the 2004 Earthquake and Tsunami - Jock McKeon , World Bank, 2008 Description:
This paper is part from the full report of Data Against Natural Disaster (Chapter 5). Describes the methodology used by the World Bank to track the allocations of funds and expenditures by key actors during the reconstruction of Aceh and Nias following the earthquake and resulting
tsunami that struck Indonesia and elsewhere in the Indian Ocean in 2004. The purpose of the chapter is to derive lessons about good practices in financial tracking and to suggest changes in the financial tracking system used in Indonesia.
Managing Post-Disaster Reconstruction Finance - International Experience in Public Financial Management - Fengler W, Ihsan A, Kaiser K, World Bank, 2008 Description:
This paper identifies options and lessons for managing post-disaster reconstruction finance in three key areas: (i) the establishment of special institutions to manage the reconstruction process; (ii) the selection of public financial management systems with respect to the application of country systems, special fiduciary arrangements, or donor/NGO execution; and (iii) monitoring and evaluation systems. The authors synthesize the phasing of assistance and approaches in eight recent post-natural disaster reconstruction efforts (Aceh-Indonesia, Yogyakarta-Indonesia, Sri Lanka, Maldives, Pakistan, Colombia, Grenada, and Honduras) to help guide the priorities and options for future instances of public financial management for disaster reconstruction. The paper also compares the challenges posed by post-conflict versus post-natural disaster public financial management.
Using Data for Ex-Ante Preparedness for Disaster Management - Tracking the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami reconstruction funds in Indonesia - McKeon JM, World Bank, 2008 Description:
This document describes the methodology used by the World Bank to track the allocations of funds and expenditures from key actors during the reconstruction of Aceh and Nias following the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and resulting tsunami that struck Indonesia. The paper also documents lessons about good practices in financial tracking methodologies in general, as well as to provide suggested improvements of the existing system used in Indonesia.
Tracking Financial Flows after Disasters - Reconstruction Expenditure Tracking Analysis Methodology (RETAM) - Fengler W, World Bank, 2007 Description:
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.
Tracking the Money: International Experience with Financial Information Systems and Databases for Reconstruction - Agustina CD, World Bank, 2007 Description:
This note is part of a broader effort to provide reliable post-disaster financial information and analysis. In particular, it reports on international experience with the financial database systems, but with a particular focus on the post-tsunami Development Assistance Database (DAD), as well as systems that could be potentially suitable—for example, the Bulgarian Development Cooperation Information System. This note analyzes the performance of most established reconstruction database systems and their management structures, and it highlights the challenges encountered when reconstruction money is tracked through these database systems. |
