The Indonesia Urban Water Sanitation and Hygiene (IUWASH) project is a sixty-month program funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and implemented under the leadership of DAI. IUWASH assists Government of Indonesia in making significant progress in achieving its safe water and sanitation Millennium Development Goal (MDG) targets by expanding the access to Indonesian poor urban society, particularly for those whose limited access of both services, safe water and sanitation. IUWASH supports national strategy for government and PDAM to provide efficient service in safe water and sanitation with best quality. The project is expected to result in the following benefits to Indonesia: (a) Two million people in urban areas gain access to safe drinking water; (b) 250.000 people in urban areas gain access to proper sanitation facilities; and (c) the per unit water cost paid by the poor in targeted communities decreases by at least 20%.
There are three technical components of the project to increase access to water and sanitation services:
• Mobilize Demand,
• Increase Capacity for Service Delivery, and
• Improve the Enabling Environment (Policy, Governance, Commitment and Alternative Funding)
Service condition of domestic wastewater sub sector in many areas is a large concern. Support from local government is not optimal yet, as can be seen from lack of funding in Provincial or District Government Budget. The limited fund then become a excuse to give less attention in addressing sanitation sector, particularly to domestic wastewater. Also, besides funding, the basic element require to improve sanitation condition is commitment from local government to increase the health of its society by improving sanitation service. One of the best solutions is the involvement of all local stakeholders to participate and pay more attention to the sanitation problem.
