DAI, the implementer of the “USAID-funded Indonesia Urban Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (IUWASH)
Project” invites qualified offerors to submit proposals to supply and deliver
“Documentary Film for Promotion of
Sewerage and Septage Service by PDAM Surakarta” in
support of program implementation. 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 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) 250,000 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.
Activity
Description:
The process of assisting the
program of Sewerage Service System (SL2T2) in Surakarta has shown a significant
improvement. The stage of software preparations for supporting the program have
been completed and the drafting of a regulation e.g. Mayor Regulation No. 16-A,
2004 on Sludge Management has also been approved. The preparations include the providing of
Geographic Information System data (GIS) and Management Information System
(MIS). Private parties are also ready to get involved in and the MoU has
already been prepared.
The next important stage is the
stage of implementation. However before implementing the SL2T2 program,
important phases have to go through and they are the phase of socialization and
promoting. According to Wikipedia, socialization defined as a process of
informing or transferring customs or values and rules from one generation to
the next within a community or society. Numbers of sociology say that
socialization is a role theory for within its process the roles that have been
taught to have to be carried out by each individual.
In relation to the program of SL2T2,
the socialization takes important role in transferring the knowledge on SL2T2
from the Local Government of Surakarta to its people. It is expected that the
process will form a new habit within the society. The new habit in the context
of SL2T2 is the habit of undertaking the periodic septic tank cleaning either
once in every 2 or 3 years. The overall goal of the socialization is to gain
supports from the people to make the program SL2T2 runs successfully.
To have a smooth and successful
socialization, IUWASH provides a documentary film about the program of SL2T2
with the duration of 5-7 minutes. It is made to make the program easier and
quicker to be understood by the people for as we know that the majority of
Indonesian people are from the lower class /people with low income and
education and they find easier to receive and understand the information better
via audio visual media. Therefore, this documentary film has an important role
in socializing a program like SL2T2.
IUWASH also supports the promotion
of sewerage system by producing a film on waste connections. The short film is
made to raise people’s awareness of how important it is to build domestic waste
connections in their homes.
The goal of the two films is also
to improve the quality and quantity of domestic waste service in the city of
Surakarta.
The activity
on Documentary Film for Promotion of Sewerage and Septage Service by PDAM
Surakarta is crucial element of the IUWASH Outcomes under:
- San 3 - Increased Access Through Off Site Sanitation (Sewerage)
- San 4 - Improved Urban Sludge Management
