Above all, 128,575 people were killed and 37,063 people went missing at Aceh Province in Indonesia because of being closer to hypocenter. Not only losing most of the social infrastructures in the area, but also lost people's livelihoods and earnings. They terribly suffered from physical and financial damage.

After almost 2 years has passed from the earthquake and tsunami, by many supports have been implemented from several donors, affected people have been gradually regaining vitality. On the other hand, we are still facing a lot of challenges such as economic infrastructures (especially in community level) damaged by the earthquake and tsunami, housing problems for internal displaced people and land disputes. Also, many people still have not found their jobs and large majority of people are forced to live below a poverty line. In addition to that, this is the area where the conflict between GAM (Free Aceh Movement) and government has been lasting for a long period. Therefore, the local government seriously needs to improve an administration capacity to make a better living for people in Aceh.
