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:
1. Mobilizing demand for water supply and sanitation service delivery;
2. Improving and expanding capacity for water and sanitation service delivery; and
3. 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:
- Implements a baseline vulnerability assessment in cooperation with a local partner such as a university or consulting firm;
- Facilitates a series of stakeholder workshops to hone in on key natural and physical asset vulnerabilities and identify priority adaptation options;
- Supports the development of an Action Plan, including the integration of this plan into PDAM and local government planning/budgeting documents.
- 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 PDAM Kabupaten Lebak, Banten
Province. 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 PDAM Kabupaten
Lebak.
