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
“Climate Change Technical Writer for 4 PDAMs in South Sulawesi (PDAM Kabupaten
Enrekang, PDAM Kabupaten Pinrang, PDAM Kabupaten Sidrap and PDAM Kota Parepare)” in support of program implementation. The
Indonesia Urban Water Sanitation and Hygiene (USAID IUWASH) Project (or, the
“Project”) is a sixty-month program funded by the United States Agency for
International Development (USAID) and implemented under the leadership of DAI.
USAID 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 USAID 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: 2
million people in urban areas gain access to improved water supply; 250,000
people in urban areas gain access to improved sanitation facilities; and the
per unit water cost paid by the poor in targeted areas decreases by at least
20%. To achieve the above, assistance provided by the project is divided under
three main technical components, including:
- 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.
An important element of the second
component is to provide assistance to local governments and water utilities to
better manage and protect raw water supplies—i.e. improved “water
security”—specifically as the twin forces of economic development and climate
change place increasing pressure on these finite resources. In many ways,
municipal water utilities are on the front line of efforts to mitigate or adapt
to the wide-ranging effects of climate change. Towards this end, the IUWASH
Project is working with water utilities to conduct water supply vulnerability
assessments and adaptation plans. This
work is in accordance with Outcome IC-4: “At least 20 PDAMs implementing necessary climate
change adaptation measures based on preliminary raw water sources vulnerability
assessments.”
Briefly, under the auspices of the
Water Supply Vulnerability Assessment and Adaptation Planning (VA&AP)
process, the IUWASH Project:
· a. Implements
a baseline vulnerability assessment in cooperation with a local partner such as
a university or consulting firm
b. Facilitates
a series of stakeholder workshops to hone in on key natural and physical asset
vulnerabilities and identify priority adaptation options;
c. Supports
the development of an Action Plan, including the integration of this plan into
PDAM and local government planning/budgeting documents.
· d. Compiles
a “Summary Report” that documents the major elements of the process and the
final results.
Objective
The
objective of this scope of work is to provide assistance to the IUWASH
Project’s climate change team in the preparation and finalization of the water
supply VA&AP summary report for four PDAMs in South Sulawesi,
namely, Kabupaten Enrekang, Kabupaten Pinrang, Kabupaten Sidrap and Kota
Parepare. The baseline assessment and stakeholder workshops are approaching
completion and, as such, the Project team requires the assistance of a climate
change technical writer (hereafter referred to as “the Consultant”) to compile
the “Summary Report” for each of the four locations.
For these purpose, IUWASH inviting the potential bidders to submit the proposal, detail Scope of Work (SoW), etc, please see : HERE
Thank you very much for your kind attention
Sincerely yours,
Procurement IUWASH
