Dear
All,
Please
find below open position.
We
are trying to find the best possible candidates to make team stronger.
Jakarta
Program Summary – INSIST
The latest study conducted by Japan International
Cooperation Agency (JICA) in 2011 shows that the 1.3 million people living in
slums in Jakarta
do not have access to proper domestic waste treatment facilities. The Government of Jakarta is taking steps to
address the issue by instituting the Domestic Waste Water Regulation in 2005
(UU 122-2005). However, this regulation alone is not sufficient to address the
growing urban population with lack of access to sanitation facilities. Currently there are just 2 sludge treatment
plants in West and East Jakarta , with 35
enterprises offering sludge removal services.
The cost of de-sludging a septic system is approximately 20-30 USD but
can run as high as 80 USD if the system is located more than 150 meters from
the main road; and the average poverty affected household’s income is just $150
USD per month. Therefore, the most common means of sludge disposal are dumping
into rivers or informal dumpsites- both options that pose significant public
health hazards. Based on the research conducted by Badan Pengelolaan Lingkungan
Hidup Daerah (BPLHD), Environment Management Agency, there are 64 Villages in Jakarta that considered to
be high risk villages for sanitation management and infrastructure. Four of the
villages are located in Penjaringan
Sub-District .
In the National level, the government agencies lead
by National Planning Agency (Bapennas) has launched National Acceleration for
Sanitation development program (PPSP). The program invited 490 cities/regencies
in Indonesia
to work together, with some clear indicator, to ensure that each city will
produce city sanitation strategy, based on rigorous and appropriate research,
on the vulnerability, potential, and priority. Jakarta province government has already
developed the city sanitation strategy, and Mercy Corps was actively involved
in the development process.
The
project’s goal is to make sanitation services accessible and affordable to the
urban and peri-urban poor. The approach
is to work within the market system so these technologies and services are
available sustainably. Through the use
of supply-side approaches alone, it is impossible to create the necessary
systemic changes to address the underlying causes of poor sanitation
Under
the overarching community development project initiative “Blue Bag Project”
IKEA Indonesia in partnership with Mercy Corps Indonesia, will start Integrated Services for
Infrastructure and Sanitation Technology (INSIST) to facilitate all actors on the supply and demand
sides of the sanitation value chain. The project has three objectives:
1. To
refine newly developed sanitation technologies that are user friendly, context
appropriate and can be manufactured at ‘affordable’ price points.
2. To
increase the demand of the public for sanitation products and services in Kelurahan Penjaringan.
3. To
continue to facilitate the role of stakeholders (market, government and
community actors) to channel these technologies and services to the desired target
population.
