Jakarta (ANTARA) – The Indonesian government aims to complete the construction of 15,000 housing units within three months for residents displaced by recent floods in Aceh, North Sumatra and West Sumatra, as part of an accelerated post-disaster recovery drive on Sumatra island, Cabinet Secretary Teddy Indra Wijaya said.The target was discussed during a coordination meeting with Investment and Downstreaming Minister Rosan Roeslani, who also heads the Danantara Investment Management Agency, Housing and Settlement Areas Minister Maruarar Sirait, and State-Owned Enterprises (SOE) Assets Agency chief Dony Oskaria, he said.The meeting took place late Saturday at the Cabinet Secretariat office in Jakarta.”A total of 15,000 housing units are targeted to be completed within the next three months,” Teddy said when confirmed by state news agency ANTARA here Sunday.He said Danantara has begun building 15,000 homes through state-owned enterprises, with the first 500 units expected to be completed within this week.The houses will be equipped with basic facilities, including clean water sanitation, places of worship, electricity, Wi-Fi networks and supporting facilities for children, Teddy added.In parallel, the National Disaster Mitigation Agency (BNPB) has started constructing 4,500 temporary housing units across the three affected provinces to meet immediate shelter needs.The Housing and Settlement Areas Ministry has also launched the development of permanent housing in Aceh, North Sumatra and West Sumatra.According to Teddy, 2,500 units in the first phase were completed last week on government-owned land that is part of SOE assets. A second phase of another 2,500 units is scheduled to begin early next week.He said both temporary and permanent housing projects are being carried out under strict conditions, including avoiding disaster-prone zones, ensuring adequate access to main roads and public facilities, and locating the housing relatively close to residents’ original homes and workplaces.The government hopes regional administrations will play an active role in providing locations, preparing land, and managing the relocation of affected residents into the temporary and permanent housing that has been prepared.“Local governments are also expected to actively support the provision of sites and the relocation process for residents moving into these housing facilities,” Teddy said.Severe flooding in recent weeks displaced thousands of families across parts of Sumatra, prompting the central government to fast-track reconstruction efforts involving multiple ministries, agencies and state-owned firms.
