Tsunami Recovery Faces Challenges After Three Years (1/2)
More than 160,000 people died or disappeared in northern Sumatra on December 26, 2004, when towering waves battered the coast.
Tens of thousands more perished in a dozen countries surrounding the Indian Ocean.
With the help of international donors and aid organizations, Indonesia has built more than 100,000 houses to replace those destroyed in the disaster.
That puts housing reconstruction three months ahead of schedule. Teams are on target to finish 20,000 more by next April.
Other new construction includes 2,000 kilometers of roads and about 800 schools.
Nia Sarinastiti of the Multi Donor Fund, which the World Bank set up to handle international tsunami aid, says her organization now focuses on handing this new infrastructure over to local governments.
"We are preparing what we call a transitional phase to help them be able to manage, operate and maintain the assets that is being left."
International donors have spent $4.6 billion to rebuild Aceh.
The Multi-Donor Fund was scheduled to finish its activities in 2010, but now plans to extend work until 2012 to help with the transition.
