Financial Analysis
The military operation is a government policy that is not in line with the need of the people of Aceh to have better basic public services in education and health:
-
The Rp. 1.32 trillion for the military operation
in Aceh was obtained by the government just through a
consultation with the DPR. The military operation budget
did not go through the common procedure of getting a
formal approval from the Budget Committee of the DPR.
-
The military operation budget came from the State
Reserve Fund, which was supposed to be spent just on
activities to help people recover from the impact of a
natural disaster or conflict. The Fund was not meant to
support conflict engaging activities that bring damages
to the people.
-
The cost of the current military operation came
close to the total value of NAD’s 2003 Regional Budget
that came to Rp 1,6 trillion.
-
The NAD 2003 Regional Budget itself is not geared
to increase the welfare of the people of Aceh. Around 75
% of the Regional Budget is allocated for Routine
Expenditure, and only 25 % is allocated for development
programs.
-
The NAD 2003 Regional Budget does not clearly
differentiate between Routine and Development
expenditures in order to cover the overly large Routine
Expenditures.

Fund
for Education,
not for War
-
Education infrastructure prior to the current
2003 military operation was not bad. It was in
compliance with the national education standard.
-
Prior to the 2003 military operation, teaching
and learning process did not comply with the national
standard.
-
During the 2003 military operation, both
education infrastructure and teaching and learning
process are deteriorating.

Governance
problems in NAD
-
Revenue sharing between the central and regional
government is not transparent. Compared to 2002, the
amount of revenue sharing received from the central
government experienced a 45% decline.
-
Undisbursed 2002 fund is a source of double
funding (one project is reported to several funding
sources).
-
Ijin Prinsip (Principle Permit): signed just by
the Governor and DPRD Chief. It is a mechanism to
disburse fund without going through the official
mechanism of the DPRD.
-
Project fundings that are not part of the
Regional Budget, loans and grants are sources of double
funding.
