IUWASH (Indonesia Urban Water Sanitation and Hygiene) is a 5-year program to develop the water, sanitation and hygiene sector for Indonesian urban, funded by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID). IUWASH seeks to help the Government of Indonesia in order to achieve the Millennium Development Goals through the expansion of access to clean water and safe sanitation services. Expanding access to water and sanitation services to the urban poor in Indonesia, especially those currently having very limited access to both services is the main goal IUWASH.

To achieve the goal, IUWASH is working with various communities, local governments, civil society organizations, and service providers. IUWASH commitment is focused on increasing demand for clean water services and sanitation, as well as increased service capacity, particularly from the government, to be able to provide and able to control the quality of the services. IUWASH supports the achievement of national strategy for those sectors so that local governments and their PDAMs can provide water and sanitation services in an efficient and high quality manner. Improving access to water and sanitation requires a variety of different initiatives of which are mutually reinforcing to one another.

The expected results are: (a) Two million people living in urban areas will have access to safe drinking water services, (b) 200.000 people living in urban areas can gain access to improved sanitation services, and (c) the cost per unit to obtain water by the low income groups can be decreased by at least 20%, and (d) 50.000 persons will get trained in relation to skills related to sanitation and clean water services. To achieve the above objectives, IUWASH organizes a number of technical assistance programs divided into three main components, namely:
  Increase of demand
  Increase of service capacity, and
  Availability of supporting environment (policy, good governance, political commitment and funding alternatives).
In addition, IUWASH also supports achievement of the national strategy in the field of infrastructure development and water and sanitation facilities, in which Indonesian government has made various efforts to develop the infrastructure for the sectors.
