The tsunami that struck a dozen countries around the Indian Ocean
on 26 December 2004 evoked international sympathy on a scale beyond
any previous natural disaster. The international relief effort
broke all records both in scale and diversity, with seven billion
U.S. dollars donated from all over the world through public and
private agencies for Sumatra alone. Simply as a reconstruction
effort, therefore, the disbursement of those funds and the
rebuilding of housing, infrastructure, and economy posed major
national and international challenges. However this was not simply
a reconstruction effort. Aceh at that time was a war zone, with
Indonesias military engaged in a major operation to crush a
separatist rebellion that had been simmering since 1976. Even
though the funds had been donated for tsunami relief, any real
reconstruction of Aceh had to consider the impact of the conflict
on the well-being of the population, as well as governance and
administrative capacities. This volumes serves the purpose not only
of discussing some of the lessons of the Aceh reconstruction and
peace processes, but also of maintaining critical links between
Aceh and the international community after the initial tranches of
aid expire.
