Sustainable Sanitation
& Hygiene for All (SSH4A) in Sumatra Barat and Lampung
SNV is a
not-for-profit international development organisation. Founded in the
Netherlands nearly 50 years ago, we have built a long-term, local presence in
38 of the poorest countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America. Our global team
of local and international advisors work with local partners to equip
communities, businesses and organisations with the tools, knowledge and
connections they need to increase their incomes and gain access to basic services
– empowering them to break the cycle of poverty and guide their own
development.
SNV is starting up an urban sanitation and hygiene
programme in 4 locations in Sumatra Barat and Lampung: Padang Pariaman, Sijungjung,
Pringsewu and Lampung Selatan. The programme is part of SNV’s
regional urban sanitation programme “Sustainable Sanitation and Hygiene for
All”, which is currently running in Nepal and Bhutan. In Indonesia, the
Sustainable Sanitation and Hygiene for All (SSH4A) programme aligns with the Percepatan Pembangunan SanitasiPermukiman
programme ( PPSP) of the Indonesian governments.
PPSP’s has rolled the city
sanitation strategies to all towns and cities nationwide by 2014, supporting
local governments to prioritize sanitation and address key issues. The program
is led by Bappenas in collaboration with MOHA, Health (MOH) and Public Works
(MPW).
The SSH4A programme
supports the implementation of the city sanitation strategies in the above
mentioned locations. The programme works on 4components plus one learning
component:
- Sanitation demand creation and behavioural change
- Sanitation services and business development
- Governance
- Treatment, disposal and re-use
- Analysis, dissemination and learning
At the implementation
level, which is the district level, SNV works closely with the local development
planning and agency (BAPPEDA), the health sector (Dinas Kesehatan Kabupaten,
Dinkes Kabupaten or District Health Office, DHO), the public works (Dinas Pekerjaan
Umum, Dinas PU, or Public Works Office, PWO), the cleaning and landscaping
services sector (Dinas Kebersihan dan Pertamanan), and the environment office
(Badan Lingkungan Hidup Daerah, BLHD).
