Research on Sanitation Supply Chain in West Sumatra (Padang Pariaman and Sijunjung)
BACKGROUND
SNV
SNV is an international not-for-profit development organization, working in 38 countries in Africa, Asia, and Latin America. SNV specializes in supporting the resourcefulness of development actors by developing local capacities, improving performance and services, strengthening governance systems, helping to create access for excluded groups and by making markets work for the poor. Our global team of advisors use their specialist sector and change expertise in Agriculture, Renewable Energy and WASH to facilitate sustainable change in the livelihoods of millions of people living in poverty.
Voice for Change (V4C) Partnership Program
Open defecation is practiced by 20% of Indonesia's population. The rate goes up to 30% in rural areas and in some districts; it is as high as 60%. To tackle this problem, the national Government established the STBM programme in 2006. The STBM programme is a non-subsidized, behavior change driven, community wide sanitation approach. It constitutes the core of the national sanitation strategy and is to be implemented by Local Governments in all 508 districts of Indonesia. Where implemented, it has demonstrated sound and sustainable results. However, the scale of its implementation has been limited and so the country failed to halve open defecation and to achieve MDG 7 in 2015. Today, still 51 million Indonesians do not have access to a sanitation facility.
SNV is launching in 2016 a five year programme entitled Voice for Change Partnership (V4C). The programme will be implemented in six countries:
Burkina-Faso, Honduras, Ghana, Kenya, Rwanda and Indonesia. In Indonesia, one of the topics that will be addressed through the programme are Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) specifically in sanitation sector. The V4C programme aligns with Sanitasi Total Berbasis Masyarakat (STBM) of the Indonesian governments and it will contribute for the achievement of the national target of 100% sanitation coverage by 2019 as well as to SDG 6, notably target 6.2 "Achieve access to adequate and equitable sanitation & hygiene for all and end open defecation, paying special attention to the needs of women and girls and those in vulnerable situations by 2030".
SNV Netherlands Development Organisation is starting up the V4C programme for WASH in four locations in Sumatra Barat and Lampung: Padang Pariaman, Sijunjung, Pringsewu and Lampung Selatan. Ministry of Health (MOH) leads the program in collaboration with Bappenas, Home Affairs (MOHA), Public Works (MPW) and Education (MOE). The V4C programme will have to provide evidence that highlights the importance of sanitation for human, environmental and economic development and that demonstrate the relevance and adequateness of the STBM programme to deliver sustainable and cost-efficient results in the above-mentioned locations.
OBJECTIVES
The overall objective of this analysis is to systematically investigate supply and demand for sanitation products and services across the program locations in West Sumatra Province.
The specific objectives of the SSC analysis are as follows:
All document prepared should be in Indonesian, with report summary of two pages in English. For discussion/dissemination purpose, a presentation in PowerPoint should be prepared in English and Indonesian.
METHODOLOGY
Sanitation Supply Chain as the tools for the Sanitation Project preferably using demand driven methodology. Overall, the Sanitation Supply Chain study will consist of three major types of research methodologies that in turn aim to provide a holistic supply chain analysis. It hopes to combine information from the market regarding market demand (beneficiaries' ideal product and product perception), existing sanitation supply chain products and services as well as the access to finance aspect. The study is a qualitative study that using data collection, such as in-depth interviews, small group discussions, focused group discussion (FGDs) and observations.
The consultant will be required to develop a research protocol, which details the methodology, hypothesis and tools to be employed at each stage of the research.
TIMEFRAME
After receiving inputs from SNV on report draft, final versions of the study (the report and the data) should be delivered by early of November 2017. A tentative timeline and indicative level of effort are set out in the table below:

- A comprehensive analysis of the current sanitation supply chain and the environment in which it operates, including input suppliers, wholesalers, retailers, transport service providers, masons and financial institutions.
- A clear assessment of the current organizational and technical capacity of the actors engaged in the sanitation supply chain.
- A list of available sanitation products and services by location, cost, characteristics and distribution channels.
- A detailed and well-structured analysis of consumer needs and preferences.
- A critical analysis on the potential gaps between the existing supply chain and the consumers' needs and preferences
- Recommendations for interventions that could support improvement in market-based access to sanitation products and services to households.
- A comprehensive analysis of the existing microfinance schemes or financial institutions in the program locations and their clients
- Microcredits aiming to improve access to sanitation at household level and/or activity relate to waste management
- Microcredits for small and medium enterprises for sanitation investments and/or activity relate to waste management
- Microcredits for sanitation and/or activity relate to waste management improvement for low income communities
