The Indonesia Urban Water Sanitation and Hygiene
(IUWASH) project is a sixty-month program funded by the United States Agency
for International Development (USAID) and implemented under the leadership of
DAI.
IUWASH works with government, the private sector, NGOs, community groups
and other stakeholders to improve access to safe water supply and sanitation in
Indonesia’s urban areas. The overall goal of IUWASH is to assist the Government
of Indonesia (GOI) in making significant progress in achieving its safe water
and sanitation Millennium Development Goal (MDG) targets by expanding access to
these services.
The expected results to be achieved are: (a) Two million people
in urban areas gain access to improved water supply; (b) 200,000 people in
urban areas gain access to improved sanitation facilities; and (c) the per unit
water cost paid by the poor in targeted areas decreases by at least 20%. To
achieve the above, technical assistance is divided in three main technical
components:
- Mobilizing demand for water supply and sanitation service delivery;
- Improving and expanding capacity for water and sanitation service delivery; and
- Strengthening policy and the financial enabling environment for improved water supply and sanitation service delivery
One
of the principal challenges currently faced by PDAMs and local
governments in Indonesia is the availability and quality of the
supply of raw water. A major
cause of this problem is rapid land use change, which decreases the
infiltration and storage capacity of the landscape and results in increased run
off. Importantly, this condition will be—and in some ways already
is—exacerbated by the negative impacts of climate change, which is
expected to modify the duration and intensity of rainfall patterns.
An
important aspect of IUWASH’s technical assistance package, then, is to help
water utilities and their stakeholders better understand the unique
vulnerabilities of their raw water supply and develop strategies to mitigate
the risks posed by unsustainable land use practices and climate change. Towards
this end, IUWASH has developed a four-step water resources vulnerability
assessment and planning framework. The specific steps of the framework include:
(1) a stock-taking/scoping of the current/known hazards facing the utility, (2)
a climate change risk evaluation aimed at understanding how climate change may
alter the nature of the hazards faced, (3) the development of a water resources
adaptation plan, and (4) the implementation and monitoring of that plan.
The
purpose of this baseline study, then, is generally to fulfill the first step of
PDAM Vulnerability Assessment and Planning Framework for the
administrative area of Bantaeng and Jeneponto Districts, at South
Sulawesi Province.
