Strategic Issues

Strategic Issues Urgency to rebuild Aceh and Nias requires a readiness of all stakeholders to review their development plan Dynamic condition of Aceh and Nias demands a flexibility of earmarked funding e.g. through budget reallocation A great degree of authority for ADB Representative in Indonesia in budgetary and decision making process Strong commitment of donor or international agencies to uphold good governance principles should not affect a timely delivery process
