The
USAID Indonesia Urban Water, Sanitation and Hygiene, Penyehatan Lingkungan
Untuk Semua (IUWASH PLUS) program is a five-year initiative designed to assist
the Government of Indonesia (GOI) in increasing access to water supply and
sanitation services as well as improving key hygiene behaviors among urban poor
and vulnerable populations. USAID IUWASH PLUS works with governmental agencies,
the private sector, NGOs, communities and others to achieve the following
"high level" results:
I. An increase of one million people in urban
areas with access to improved water supply service quality, of which at least
500,000 are from the poorest 40% of the population (also referred to as the
“Bottom 40%” or “B40”), vulnerable groups or Indonesia’s eastern provinces; and
II. An increase of 500,000 people in urban areas
with access to safely managed sanitation and all of whom are from the
"B40", vulnerable groups or Indonesia’s eastern provinces.
To
ensure that improvements in access to WASH services are sustained, USAID IUWASH
PLUS is guided by a development hypothesis that 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,
the program undertakes activities through four interrelated components,
including: 1) improving household WASH services; 2) strengthening city WASH
institutional performance; 3) strengthening the WASH financing environment; and
4) advancing national WASH advocacy, coordination and communication.
