The IUWASH (Indonesia Urban Water Sanitation and
Hygiene) Program is a development program for urban water, sanitation and hygiene
Indonesia
which spans for five years, funded by the USAID. IUWASH seeks to assist the
Government of Indonesia to progress to achieve the Millennium Development Goals
through the expansion of public access to clean water and safe sanitation
services. Developing access to water and sanitation services to the urban poor
in Indonesia,
especially those who have very limited access to both services is the main goal
IUWASH. To achieve the objectives, IUWASH is continuously working with various
communities, local governments, civil society organizations, and service
providers.
IUWASH commitment is to increase both the demand for better water
and sanitation services and the service capacity, particularly on the
government side to provide and supervise the quality of the services. IUWASH
supports national strategies so that local governments and PDAM can provide
water and sanitation services in a much more efficient way and of high quality.
Improving access to water and sanitation requires different initiatives but
mutually reinforcing.
The expected results are: (a) two million persons
living in urban areas have access to safe drinking water services; (b) 250,000 people
living in urban areas have access to adequate sanitation; and (c) the cost of
water per unit incurred by low-income people can be reduced at least by 20%. To
achieve the above objectives, IUWASH provides technical assistance programs in three
main components, namely:
- Improvement on Demand side,
- Increase of the Service Capacity, and
- Supporting Environment (Policy, Governance, Politics and Alternative Funding Commitment).
Background of
this Project
Approximately 75% of household
waste water in Indonesia
is collected and disposed of through individual and/or communal septic tanks,
and only 2% processed through a centralized system. The rest is discharged
directly into open drainage channel, to nearby open fields, or open defecation.
In recent years, the central
government supported by donors has continued to develop a program to reduce open
defecation with a focus on rural areas and promotion of communal septic tank
(MCK++, SANIMAS, usri, DAK/SLBM) in urban areas with higher population
densities. However, these programs do not integrate the collection, disposal
and processing of sludge in one integrated system, particularly in urban areas,
which is the main target IUWASH program.
For
those mentioned subject, IUWASH inviting consultant to send the
proposal to implement the activity.
