Sustaining Open Defecation Free (ODF) city/
districts in Indonesia Research
July 2018
A. BACKGROUND
A.1. SNV
SNV is an international not-for-profit development organization, 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.
A.2. Voice for Change Partnership (V4CP) Program
Open defecation is practiced by 20% of Indonesia's population. The rate goes up to 30% in rural areas and in some districts; it is as high as 60%. To tackle this problem, the national Government established the STBM programme in 2006. The STBM programme is a non-subsidized, behavior change driven, community wide sanitation approach. It constitutes the core of the national sanitation strategy and is to be implemented by Local Governments in all 508 districts of Indonesia. Where implemented, it has demonstrated sound and sustainable results. However, the scale of its implementation has been limited and so the country failed to halve open defecation and to achieve MDG 7 in 2015. Today, still 51 million Indonesians do not have access to a sanitation facility.
SNV is launching in 2016 a five year programme entitled Voice for Change Partnership (V4CP). The programme will be implemented in six countries: Burkina-Faso, Honduras, Ghana, Kenya, Rwanda and Indonesia. In Indonesia, one of the topics that will be addressed through the programme are Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) specifically in sanitation sector. The V4CP programme aligns with Sanitasi Total Berbasis Masyarakat (STBM) of the Indonesian governments and it will contribute for the achievement of the national target of 100% sanitation coverage by 2019 as well as to SDG 6, notably target 6.2 "Achieve access to adequate and equitable sanitation & hygiene for all and end open defecation, paying special attention to the needs of women and girls and those in vulnerable situations by 2030".
SNV Netherlands Development Organisation is starting up the V4CP programme for WASH in four locations in Sumatra Barat and Lampung: Padang Pariaman, Sijunjung, Pringsewu and Lampung Selatan. Ministry of Health (MOH) leads the STBM program in collaboration with Bappenas, Home Affairs (MOHA), Public Works (MPW) and Education (MOE). Then, the V4CP programme will have to provide evidence to support advocacy activity that highlights the importance of sanitation for human, environmental and economic development and that demonstrate the lesson learned for opportunity and challenges to achieve STBM Pillars and maintain the behavior change.
B. OBJECTIVES
The research aims to document the strategy in the Post-Open Defecation Free (ODF) situation. ODF as the first pillar of STBM is not the end, but it is the start for moving toward to safely manage sanitation. This research will share "what works for whom and in what circumstances/contexts" for maintaining ODF situation with the Government of Indonesia and the larger community working on sanitation.
The specific objectives of this study are as follow:
1. Assessing "what works" for post-ODF strategy and what does not
2. The future priority in post-ODF situation to move forwards toward safely manage sanitation
The research will benefit to reach local government officials at the district and sub-district levels, decision makers, private sector, managers of water and sanitation initiatives, grassroots organizations such as NGOs or CSOs, STBM team, Posyandu (integrated health service post) cadres, health and education officials, and those interested in sanitation and hygiene improvement programs. This is also intended for the donor community and cooperating agencies who can refer to this body of accumulated knowledge when designing programs that aim to achieve sustainable sanitation and hygiene improvement.
C. SCOPE OF STUDY
The study should cover minimum 4 cities/districts that could present the vary condition for Post-ODF. Some of the criteria are the date of ODF status achievement and variety and independency of the approach. We should cover the cities/districts that have different phase and age (e.g., 3 years-after and 1.5 years-after) after their achievement of ODF status until this research will be started. Some focuses that should be highlight by the research are from regulation and institution, monitoring and evaluation structures, and behavior change communication approach aspects. New topics and questions will arrive throughout the research and will be discussed together with the team as required.
D. METHODOLOGY
The study could use realist evaluation[1] perspective which provides a useful methodological framework to evaluate the case study. This perspective asks not, "What works?" or "Does this program work?" to maintain ODF situation and behavior but asks instead, "what works for whom in what circumstances/contexts and in what respects, and how?". Therefore, it highlights where programmes "work" in different ways for different contexts which will make difference to the outcome also. Programme contexts include features such as social, economic, institution, political, historical, and so on.
It is operationalized and conducted through desk review/study to determine a list of potential cases, prioritise case and plan the documentation process, and follow with interview/FGD with local government/stakeholder school, cadres, and community to gather further information on their strategy including existing initiatives and potential innovations, challenges, and opportunity. All in all, the team will conduct desk review, field visit, consultation with stakeholders and produce a report.
The lesson learned presented in this research are the result of a collective process involving reflection, analysis, and understanding of the strategy that used to maintain ODF achievement and moving forward towards safely manage sanitation (e.g., regulation, monitoring system, behavior change communication approach) and its effectiveness during field implementation. All document prepared should be in Bahasa, with research brief of two pages in English and Bahasa. For discussion/dissemination purpose, a presentation in PowerPoint should be prepared in English and Bahasa.
