The 2006 Progress Report from the United Nations Special Envoy for Tsunami Recovery, President William J. Clinton, highlights significant advancements made in the recovery efforts for Aceh and Nias, two years after the devastating tsunami. Despite the immense challenges, notable progress has been achieved, including the construction of approximately 50,000 permanent homes, infrastructure improvements such as bridges and roads, and the establishment of nearly 700 new schools and over 300 health facilities. These developments have been instrumental in addressing immediate needs and supporting long-term recovery. The report emphasizes the importance of sustaining these efforts through decentralized governance, economic development, and social services. The BRR's collaboration with local governments and the international community has been crucial in these achievements. The commitment to peace and the ongoing support from international donors and agencies have been pivotal in building a resilient and self-sufficient future for the affected communities.
