Dear All,
DAI, the
implementer of the “USAID-funded Indonesia Urban Water, Sanitation, and
Hygiene (IUWASH) Project” invites qualified offerors to submit proposals
to supply and deliver “Documentary Film for Promotion of Sewerage and
Septage Service by PDAM Surakarta” in support of program implementation.
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 IUWASH
works with government, the private sector, NGOs, community groups and
other stakeholders to improve access to safe water supply and sanitation
in Indonesia’s urban areas. The overall goal of IUWASH is to assist the
Government of Indonesia (GOI) in making significant progress in
achieving its safe water and sanitation Millennium Development Goal
(MDG) targets by expanding access to these services. The expected
results to be achieved are: (a) Two million people in urban areas gain
access to improved water supply; (b) 250,000 people in urban areas gain
access to improved sanitation facilities; and (c) the per unit water
cost paid by the poor in targeted areas decreases by at least 20%. To
achieve the above, technical assistance is divided in three main
technical components:
- Mobilizing demand for water supply and sanitation service delivery;
- Improving and expanding capacity for water and sanitation service delivery; and
- Strengthening policy and the financial enabling environment for improved water supply and sanitation service delivery.
Activity Description:
The
process of assisting the program of Sewerage Service System (SL2T2) in
Surakarta has shown a significant improvement. The stage of software
preparations for supporting the program have been completed and the
drafting of a regulation e.g. Mayor Regulation No. 16-A, 2004 on Sludge
Management has also been approved. The preparations include the
providing of Geographic Information System data (GIS) and Management
Information System (MIS). Private parties are also ready to get involved
in and the MoU has already been prepared.
The next important
stage is the stage of implementation. However before implementing the
SL2T2 program, important phases have to go through and they are the
phase of socialization and promoting. According to Wikipedia,
socialization defined as a process of informing or transferring customs
or values and rules from one generation to the next within a community
or society. Numbers of sociology say that socialization is a role theory
for within its process the roles that have been taught to have to be
carried out by each individual.
In relation to
the program of SL2T2, the socialization takes important role in
transferring the knowledge on SL2T2 from the Local Government of
Surakarta to its people. It is expected that the process will form a new
habit within the society. The new habit in the context of SL2T2 is the
habit of undertaking the periodic septic tank cleaning either once in
every 2 or 3 years. The overall goal of the socialization is to gain
supports from the people to make the program SL2T2 runs successfully.
To
have a smooth and successful socialization, IUWASH provides a
documentary film about the program of SL2T2 with the duration of 5-7
minutes. It is made to make the program easier and quicker to be
understood by the people for as we know that the majority of Indonesian
people are from the lower class /people with low income and education
and they find easier to receive and understand the information better
via audio visual media. Therefore, this documentary film has an
important role in socializing a program like SL2T2.
IUWASH
also supports the promotion of sewerage system by producing a film on
waste connections. The short film is made to raise people’s awareness of
how important it is to build domestic waste connections in their homes.
The goal of the two films is also to improve the quality and quantity of domestic waste service in the city of Surakarta.
For those purpose, we are inviting the potential bidders to submit the proposal, detail info please see : http://iuwash.or.id/rfp-no-
Thank you v ery much for your kind attention
Sincerely yours,
Procurement IUWASH
