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:
All five IREP consultant teams were mobilized by May 2007. IREP has prepared all projects implemented by IRFF. Additionally, IREP consultants provided technical input to provincial and district governments relating to the design and implementation of infrastructure projects.
IREP consultant teams continue to provide support to the IRFF program. The Management Consultants are responsible for overall quality assurance and monitoring and evaluation of the works. An independent Consultant firm was appointed to oversee the Financial Management of the project. The progress of these two teams largely depends on the progress of the other three consultancy teams providing infrastucture technical support.
Challenges:
Capacity building focusing on sustainability of the IRFF projects implemented is a key area of IREP consultant activity.
