INDONESIA URBAN WATER, SANITATION AND HYGIENE
IUWASH
USAID IUWASH expands access to water and sanitation services to Indonesia’s urban poor.
USAID/Washington Assistant Administrator for Legislative and Political Affairs (AA/LPA), Chuck Cooper and Deputy AA/LPA, Barbara Feinstein accompanied by the Director of the USAID/ Indonesia Office of Environment, John Hansen, and the IUWASH team visit beneficiaries of a ‘Master Meter’ program in Greges Gang Dalam of Kelurahan Tambak Sarioso, in Surabaya on August 20, 2015.Through five newly installed Master Meter water supply systems, 1,300 of the City’s urban poor now have clean water from the municipal water utility piped directly to their homes.
CHALLENGE Despite generally positive gains elsewhere, urban Indonesia suffers from the lowest rates of access to safe water and improved sanitation in ASEAN, with only Myanmar fairing worse. Only 32% of Indonesia’s urban population has access to piped water supply and only 73% has access to basic sanitation. This translates into higher costs for such services as well as high rates of water and sanitation borne disease that especially affects those who are most vulnerable, children and the poor. degrading water resources, and a lack of institutions charged with wastewater management further combine with rapid urban population growth to outstrip the ability of most local governments to meet the basic requirements of their current populations, let alone adequately prepare for the future. INITIATIVE The USAID Indonesia Urban Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (IUWASH) Project is a five-year effort designed to support the Government of Indonesia (GOI) in improving access to safe water and improved sanitation facilities. With funding of US $40.7 million, the Project works closely with government agencies, local utilities, universities, NGOs, and community groups to increase demand for improved water supply and sanitation services; improve local capacity to provide such services; and improve critical governance and finance functions that form the enabling environment upon which sustainable sector development must be based. Through this work, the IUWASH seeks to provide access to safe water supply for 2,400,000 and access to improved sanitation to 250,000, while also making such services more affordable for the urban poor. Under the umbrella of the US-Indonesia Comprehensive Partnership, IUWASH now works with 54 local governments throughout the archipelago, as well as with key central governmental ministries.
