Challenges and Strategy(three out of seven key
challenges)

• Underdevelopment is complicating the recovery
  process the cost for recovery is more than two
  times the damage
• Given the social and economic problems of
  embedded underdevelopment of the people of Nias,
  it is unjust to only rebuild the damage without
  considering society as a whole.
• Nias Formula for Recovery
• Recovery Relief Reconstruction
  Redevelopment
• Local institutions have long been marginalised,
  and local government is very poor. The challenge
  is to create the good governance required for
  successful recovery.
• Helping in the development of regional autonomy
  and a broader civil society
• Helping appreciation and development of Niass
  culture and society as the basis of a new
  development ethic
• Working together with local institutions to
  transfer knowledge and improve capacity
• Making Nias a model for disaster recovery and
  disaster risk reduction driven by local
  institutions, with extensive support from
  international community
• The infrastructure was in poor condition before
  the disasters, and now seriously hampers the
  logistic chain for reconstruction.
• For the short term Transport infrastructure
  needs urgent rehabilitation work to assure safe
  and efficient reconstruction. Strict adherence to
  a comprehensive logistic supply system
• For the longer term, Nias Islands should all
  benefit from at least national minimum service
  standards in all infrastructure.

Coordination between BRR Nias and implementing
agencies

• Housing commitments are 18,000 versus a 60,000
  need (15,000 reconstruction and 45,000
  rehabilitation). However, agencies are not
  delivering on original commitments, so the
  housing data is difficult to
• Because of the uncertainty between commitment and
  actual building, BRR Nias must ensure
  coordination with other implementing agencies.

Identify housing gap from Camat or Village Heads
Verify needs/plan against data
Existing plans?
Begin implementation
No
Verify needs/plan with Nias Shelter Working Group
Yes
Agency capacity?
No
Yes

Housing in the context of infrastructure

• House building would be quicker and easier if we
  waited for the completion of infrastructure. But
  leaving people in tents for longer than necessary
  is not a viable option.
• BRRs approach is to coordinate with
  infrastructure programmes during implementation
  as much as possible and to use interim solutions
  wherever possible.

Interim logistics solutions (e.g. TNI)
BRR-MDF housing programme
implementation coordination
BRR-MDF infrastructure programme
