The USAID Indonesia
Urban Water, Sanitation and Hygiene 'Penyehatan Lingkungan Untuk Semua'
(IUWASH PLUS) program is a five-year initiative designed to assist the
Government of Indonesia in increasing access to water supply and
sanitation services as well as improving key hygiene behaviors among
urban poor and vulnerable populations. Implemented by DAI Global LLC,
IUWASH PLUS works with governmental agencies, the private sector, NGOs,
communities and others to achieve the following "high level" results:
- An increase of one million people in urban areas with access to improved water supply of which at least 500,000 are from the poorest 40% of the population; and
- An increase of 500,000 people in urban areas with access to an improved sanitation facility and all of whom are from the poorest 40% of the population.
To
ensure that improvements in access to WASH services are sustained,
IUWASH PLUS is guided by a development hypothesis that focuses on
strengthening service delivery systems so they can more effectively
reach the poorest and most vulnerable segments of the population. In
order to achieve this at scale, IUWASH PLUS undertakes activities
