Project Description:
The Technical Assistance to BRR Project supports the BRR to efficiently implement its mandate to plan, implement, supervise and coordinate the recovery process through providing technical support adn key services. It also provides critical support during the transition period of BRR's exit scheduled for April 2009.
This project was extended from June 01, 2009 to December 31, 2009 in late may 2009 and was renamed TA to BRR and BAPPENAS (which BAPPENAS internally refers as TA to R2C3). The amended TA to BRR & BAPPENAS will finalize BRR mandates and facilitate the transition of BAPPENAS' coordination role as head of the BKRAN, one of the agencies established to carry on BRR's work based on Presidential Decree 3/2009.

Achievement to date:
The project’s support has contributed to the enhancement of BAPPENAS’ capacities to develop policies and programs and to monitor and complete rehabilitation and reconstruction activities after the closure of BRR. To date, the project has overseen and facilitated commencement of the BKRAN/Steering Committee’s provision of technical support. It has continued activities started under the TA to BRR Project, and has supported RENAKSI development. A team of 13 technical assistants (TAs) will contribute to accomplishing the mandates of the Steering Committee by December 2009. In particular the TAs will provide technical assistance for managing national and international resources, as well as planning and monitoring rehabilitation and reconstruction activities in affected areas.
The project has also held 15 SIMBADA training sessions in the NAD
Province and 25 districts within NAD-Nias. The trainings aim to enhance the capacities of local government to operate and maintain the SIMBADA system, and the SIMBADA applications are currently under implementation. EIA project support to BAPPEDA continues to progress, and the EIA assessments are expected to be conducted
in the next months. Similarly, support to the KNOW Center has been ongoing.
Challenges
TA to BRR and Bappenas closes on Decemeber 31, 2009. The project is working with Bappenas to develop the scope of TA activities to ensure continued support to Bappenas in its coordination role. Other tasks during this relatively short period include: (i) to safeguard the transition phase from BRR to the respective local government, ensuring a smooth transfer of responsibilities, and (ii) to develop a Policy Framework Recommendation on Post Reconstruction Accelerated Development for Aceh and Nias. The short implementation period requires a well thought out and executed work plan.
