for Midterm Evaluation of USAID/Indonesia’s IUWASH Plus Program
Company Profile:

Our core expertise is in the fields of monitoring and evaluation (M&E), institutional development, public sector management, governance and anti-corruption.

Project Summary:
The USAID/Indonesia Monitoring and Evaluation Support Project (MESP) is designed to improve the functioning and utility of USAID Mission Performance Monitoring, Evaluation and Project Planning and Design systems through a combination of targeted direct M&E implementation, expert technical assistance, formal training, and knowledge sharing and M&E collaboration support. Under MESP, MSI has been asked to conduct USAID Indonesia Urban Water, Sanitation and Hygiene Penyehatan Lingkungan untuk Semua (IUWASH PLUS) Midterm Performance Evaluation. For USAID this activity is a leader in the design and implementation of innovative urban WASH approaches. As such, this evaluation is also intended to inform USAID’s global learning agenda on urban Water, Sanitation and Hygiene.
USAID IUWASH PLUS is a five-year, $39.6 million initiative designed to assist the government of Indonesia in increasing access to drinking water supply and safely managed sanitation services as well as improving key hygiene behaviors among urban poor and vulnerable populations. Implemented by DAI Global LLC (under USAID contract AID-497-TO-16-0003), IUWASH PLUS works with governmental and donor agencies, the private sector, NGOs, communities and others to achieve the following “high-level” results:
- Increased access to improved water service quality to at least one million urban residents, of which 500,000 are from the poorest 40% of the population; and
- Increased access to safely managed sanitation services for at least 500,000 urban residents.
USAID IUWASH PLUS will work with 32 Local Governments across Indonesia located in 8 provinces that includes North Sumatra, West Java, Central Java, East Java, South Sulawesi, Maluku, North Maluku and Papua, and 2 special areas in DKI Jakarta and Tangerang District.
USAID IUWASH PLUS focuses on strengthening the overall urban WASH Ecosystem. The concept of a WASH Ecosystem recognizes that all sector actors— from Mayors to utilities to health center staff to private sector septage haulers— have an important role to play and that the linkages between them must be supported and reinforced. This concept stands in contrast to most traditional approaches to sector development that prioritize the construction of new facilities while ignoring the systemic weaknesses that undermine sustainability.
To ensure that improvements in access to WASH services are sustained, USAID IUWASH PLUS 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, USAID IUWASH PLUS undertakes activities through four interrelated components, including:
- Improving household WASH services;
- Strengthening city WASH institutional performance;
- Strengthening the WASH financing environment; and
- Advancing national WASH advocacy, coordination and communication.
