SNV Netherlands Development Organisation
SNV is a not-for-profit international development
organisation. Founded in the Netherlands 50 years ago, we have built a
long-term, local presence in 39 of the poorest countries in Asia, Africa and
Latin America. Our global team of local and international advisors works with
local partners to equip communities, businesses and organisations with the
tools, knowledge and connections they need to increase their incomes and gain
access to basic services – empowering them to break the cycle of poverty and guide
their own development.
SNV supports local organizations (state and
non-state), mostly at the provincial and district level, through a combination
of advisory, knowledge brokering and advocacy services with a focus on working
at scale. Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) is one of three key sectors that
SNV invests in to contribute towards pro-poor development, through improved
access to basic services and production, income and employment.
The Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH)
Programme in Lampung
SNV supports the Government of Indonesia in its
efforts to improve sanitation and hygiene conditions in the country. Benefits
include improved health, reduced risk of disease and increased productivity and
income for millions of families. The Government of Indonesia have developed a
number of sanitation and hygiene programmes, including the STBM (Sanitasi Total
Berbasis Masyarakat) programme, dedicated to improved hygiene and sanitation in
rural areas and the PPSP (Percepatan Pembangunan Sanitasi Permukiman), focused
on the challenges of urban sanitation. Combined, both programmes support the
national target of achieving 100% sanitation coverage by 2019.
In the Lampung province, SNV supports the Local
Governments to roll out the STBM and the PPSP programmes at scale and with
quality. SNV support to the STBM programme is focused in the districts of
Lampung Selatan, Pringsewu and Tanggamus. Support to the PPSP programme is

initiative on regular desluding in the city of Kalianda.
With a strategy that combines sanitation demand
creation, communication for behavior change, sanitation business services and
improved sector steering, SNV has the goal of improving life conditions for
300.000 persons in the Lampung Province.
