Project Description :
The IREP Project enables
a coordinated
reconstruction of infrastructure in Aceh and
Nias.
It provides strategic planning, designs for
physical infrastructure and implementation
support.
IREP provides technical assistance at two levels. An Infrastructure Program Management Team, under
the supervision of the BRR, assists in strategic planning and coordination of all infrastructure activities
for Aceh and Nias. Concurrently, technical teams design infrastructure and provide implementation
support. Infrastructure covers national, provincial and district level. These designs will be funded through
the Infrastructure Reconstruction Funding Facility, co-fi nanced by the Multi Donor Fund and the BRR, and
other funding sources.
Local governments are closely involved in the project. The project aims to strengthen their capacities in
strategic planning, project design, implementation and supervision as well as operation and maintenance
to better prepare them for their role in the future development of the region. IREP will focus on ensuring
that investments are sustainable, and that local governments are prepared for the post-BRR setting. |

Achievement to date:
December 2007
Five IREP consultant teams have been mobilized, some with a few months delay. This explains the current
low disbursement rate. IREP consultancy teams are providing ongoing support to the IRFF program
and BRR’s infrastructure program including the development of the strategic infrastructure plan, annual
infrastructure investment plans, and annual procurement plans for the whole of Aceh and Nias. Teams
also support the development of investment plans at the regional level for the west coast and Nias.
To date, the teams have helped prepare a total of 30 investment packages to build roads on national,
provincial and district level (666.3 km), three water systems and three ports. Six contracts are under
construction while the others are at various stages of tendering and awarding (see IRFF fact sheet).
December 2006
The project has started preparing initial infrastructure construction contracts to be executed in 2007. At
the same time, procurement of the substantive consultant packages to manage the overall program and
to prepare designs, and conduct implementation and supervision is underway. It is expected that all IREP
consultants are mobilized at the end of March 2007.
