ACEH, INDONESIA, Nov. 9 /U.S. Newswire/ -- Scores of children in Aceh have quit school due to a lack of affordable and efficient transportation, and local merchants need guidance and support in order to re-start their businesses, according to the first assessment of post-tsunami recovery and reconstruction efforts in Aceh, Indonesia. The Aceh Rehabilitation and Reconstruction Appraisal (ARRA), funded by and produced in cooperation with The Asia Foundation, is a 16-month landmark assessment designed to accelerate and guide the revitalization of Aceh following the December 2004 tsunami that killed and displaced tens of thousands. The assessment's phase one findings were based on personal, in-depth interviews with victims and international and Indonesian service providers which were conducted by The Asia Foundation, the Aceh Recovery Forum, and the Department of Law at the University of Syiah Kuala, University of Malikul Saleh, Regional Development Institute (YPK), and a women-focused NGO (MISPI).
