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 two PDAMs, namely, Kabupaten
Serang, Banten Province and Kabupaten Bandung, West Java. 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 two locations.
For those mentioned purpose, we are inviting you to submit proposal, detail Scope of Work (SoW) etc please see : HERE
Thank you very much for your kind attention
Sincerely yours,
