SNV Netherlands Development Organisation
SNV is an international not-for-profit development organisation, working in 38 countries in Africa, Asia, and Latin America. SNV specializes in supporting the resourcefulness of development actors by developing local capacities, improving performance and services, strengthening governance systems, helping to create access for excluded groups and by making markets work for the poor. Our global team of advisors use their specialist sector and change expertise in Agriculture, Renewable Energy and WASH to facilitate sustainable change in the livelihoods of millions of people living in poverty.
Urban Sanitation & Hygiene for Health & Development (USHHD) Programme
SNV understands safe urban sanitation and hygiene services as a pre-condition for health and economic development in cities. With the massive urban growth in Indonesia, 4.4% in average (World Bank, 2016), a failure to invest in urban sanitation will become a barrier for almost any development. Access to sanitation is a human right and governments are the duty bearers of progressive realisation of this right. With the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), governments have committed to work towards universal access of safely managed sanitation services, this means services for all and addressing the safety of the entire sanitation value chain from access to safe disposal or re-use.
SNV supports local governments of Bandar Lampung & Metro Cities in Lampung Province and Tasikmalaya City in West Java Province to achieve sustainable and inclusive city-wide sanitation service in their area. Together we change the way human waste is managed addressing different needs among the population, different parts of the sanitation service chain, and different geographical areas with appropriate service delivery models.
During the inception phase, SNV will analyse the sustainability of city wide WASH services considering climate change, by conducting a climate vulnerability and resilience (CVR) assessment. The CVR will identify the key vulnerabilities in the city and expose the ways in which climate change is likely to increase these, while also proposing ways to increase the city's resilience. In order to deepen our understanding of the possible climate vulnerabilities of WASH services available in Bandar Lampung, Metro, and Tasikmalaya, we are commissioning the CVR assessment in those 3 cities.
Scope and Purpose
The CVR assessment will be prioritising issues considering risk for sustained service delivery. The assessment will analyse upstream and downstream interactions and how these are (or are likely to) impact WASH conditions and service provision in the city. It will look at the existing and planned WASH infra-structures and assess their current and potential future vulnerabilities considering climate change dynamics in the area. It will identify potential sources of conflict on access, use, management and sustainability of WASH services. It will provide recommendations on how to increase resilience considering all the issues identified.
In this inception phase, the specific objective of the assessment is to identify strategies for increased resilience to be integrated into the Theory of Change and intervention strategies. In summary, the inputs from the CVR assessment will support recommendations for SNV's programme to:
* Reduced vulnerability and increase resilience of WASH services, by strengthening financial, social, and technical capacity (also for infrastructure development and management) and safe guards;
* Contribute to sustainability of water resources;
* Anticipate and minimise health and social related impacts, notably for the most vulnerable population groups in the city.
Framework
The CVR assessment will consider 3 angles of analysis:
1. Upstream and downstream interactions:
Understanding in which sub-catchment and micro-catchment the 3 cities are located. What the main challenges are in that sub-catchment area are, e.g. flooding, flash floods, droughts, misbalance between dry and wet season.
Understanding which other water users and polluters are active in this sub-catchment in WASH, Agriculture, Energy, Tourism, and Nature.
If there are any major extractions of water or any major polluters, or if our intervention area/stakeholders are major extractors or polluters. If there is any water resource management plan, and what the priorities are in the plan. If there are any conflicts around water use or pollution.
1. WASH infrastructure vulnerability:
Looking at the location of WASH infrastructure in the micro-catchment, and the likelihood that the stability or functionality of this infrastructure is affected by events in the micro-catchment. For water supply, including the water source, and whether there is any indication about yield being affected or upstream pollution threating water supply.
1. Water resource and pollution rights:
Whether there is a catchment authority or water resource authority of any kind and what mandate they have. Whether water resource use (and perhaps pollution) is in any way regulated in the country, and whether the main stakeholders have established rights.
Methodology
SNV advises a two-step process for the CVR assessment, in the senses that there will be a first review of existing information to narrow down the issues to be assessed in the 3 cities. First, a quick risk assessment of the proposed area to ascertain that climate change effects and water security issues will not go beyond the capacity/scope of the programme to address. From there, a detailed assessment will be undertaken.
The steps are: Review of existing information (secondary info on CVR in the 3 cities & information on CVR from the baseline) - Preliminary conclusions on the main issues in the 3 cities (Upstream & downstream interactions, Infrastructure vulnerability, Water resource use rights) - Additional questions on CVR in the 3 cities - Field work and analysis of the 3 components - Conclusion and recommendations.
Primary data collection, including field visits, interviews, and validation workshops may be used as relevant. It is suggested that for secondary information, the national and local level information on climate change assessments can be used, such as NAPA reports, NDCs, reports from other organisations, national water resource legislation, google earth, locally available information, and Climate Change Profile by the Dutch Sustainability Unit of Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs: http://dsu.eia.nl/
