Simavi
is an ambitious, growing development organisation of more than 50
people, based in the Netherlands. Together with local partners, we
improve the health of people in the poorest regions in developing
countries. Simavi
has been operational in Indonesia since 1925 by working through local
NGO partners both in WASH and SRHR sectors. From 2010 to 2015, Simavi
coordinated a consortium of five Indonesian NGOs implementing a water
sanitation and hygiene programme in Eastern Indonesia. Since 1 January
2016, Simavi is implementing a new programme named SEHATI (Sustainable
Sanitation for Eastern Indonesia) as the next phase of the previous one
and will be ended on August 2019. For this programme Simavi is looking
for an experienced :
Consultant for Sehati Programme Evaluation
Background of the SEHATI Programme
1. The SEHATI programme
The Sustainable Sanitation and Hygiene for
Eastern Indonesia (SEHATI) Programme (2016 – 2019) aims for the realisation of
an enabling environment for communities in 7 selected districts in Eastern
Indonesia to achieve a sustainable healthy living environment through
strengthening the capacity of local governments and sanitation entrepreneurs to
implement 5 pillars of Community Led Total Sanitation (CLTS, or STBM in Bahasa
Indonesia).
Specific objectives have been identified in
terms effective realisation of capacity building at different levels of
government administration to lead and sustain the implementation of 5 pillars
of STBM and at the level of capacity sanitation entrepreneurs to provide
sanitation and hygiene related products and services.
The specific objectives of the SEHATI
programme have been translated into the following main activities areas:
-
Creating an enabling environment from village
up to national level to support the implementation of 5 pillars of STBM;
-
Creating demand and sanitation and hygiene
behaviour change using the 5 pillar STBM approach
in communities (this includes in households, schools, public facilities, health
facilities and religious places);
-
Initiating sanitation entrepreneurship to
provide sanitation and hygiene related products and services;
-
Capacity building of the implementing SHAW
partner NGOs;
-
Initiating a viable implementation model that
ensures the local government is capable to roll out and sustain a district wide
STBM 5 pillars.
The programme does not have a drinking water
supply component. It is therefore not an explicit part of the evaluation.

‘Sanitasi Total Berbasis Masyarakat’ (STBM) is
the approach introduced by the Indonesian Ministry of Health in 2008, to
improve the sanitation and hygiene situation for Indonesia. When comparing STBM
to CLTS (Community Based vs. Led Total Sanitation), one could observe that the
STBM approach is a next development after CLTS by its explicit attention to
hygiene and environment (pillar 2 – 5).
The STBM approach includes 5 pillars:
1.
Open Defecation Free communities
2. Washing
hands with soap and running water
3.
Household water treatment and Safe storage of
water and food
4. Household
solid waste management
5.
Household liquid waste management.
Simavi and 5 local implementing partners are
the first Indonesian’s partners in implementing the 5 pillar STBM approach at district
scale. Other projects are active in one or two pillars, mainly focussing on
sanitation. Similarly, the national government itself tends to implement all
pillars inconsistently and only provides monitoring scheme to pillar 1. This brings
a pioneering role to SEHATI in order to develop methods to reach full STBM
coverage including scaling-up methods.
Within the SEHATI programme several
complementary activities are undertaken to support the 5 pillar STBM approach
notably capacity building of Pokja AMPL (working group for drinking water and
environmental health) / STBM team members at district, sub-district and village
level, advocating budget and plan for STBM at all level, monitoring at
government and household level, private sector involvement and sanitation
marketing as well as knowledge management. In addition, Simavi is also lobby
for implementing 5 pillars of STBM at national level, including the development
of 5 pillars indicators at the national monitoring system.
4. Progress and development
According to its original project document of
29 March 2016, the SEHATI Programme aimed to target the implementation of 100%
STBM for 210 villages in 7 districts of Eastern Indonesia, located in NTB
Province (Lombok and Sumbawa islands), NTT province (Flores and Sumba Islands)
and Papua province (Biak Island).
Monitoring data in June 2018 states that
SEHATI reaches out 215 villages with 510.422 people intervened by STBM
promotion and also 951 schools in 7 districts. In addition to that, SEHATI was
replicating the approach in total around 137 villages fully respected the 5
pillars of STBM and this number will increase further.
SEHATI also provides support to the national
level (Ministry of Health) in Jakarta to implementing 5 pillars of STBM start
from the beginning rather than single pillar. Equally important, to ensure the
sustainability, SEHATI encourages the government to include 5 pillars
indicators to national web-based monitoring system (STBM Smart).
5. Institutional framework, organisation and partners
The programme operates under overall guidance
of the Directorate of Environmental Health of Ministry of Health, which also a
member of National Working Group on Drinking Water and Sanitation (Pokja AMPL
Nasional).
SEHATI programme touches the government
administration and other stakeholders at desa (village), kecamatan
(sub-district), kabupaten (district),and national levels. Besides the
government structures, these stakeholders comprise community volunteers (kader),
community organisations, the private sector and some local informal NGOs and
community organisations.
The programme has several agreed partners and
interested stakeholders. There are five Indonesian partners operating in the
field and at district level: CD-Bethesda, Yayasan Plan International Indonesia,
Yayasan Rumsram, Yayasan Dian Desa and Yayasan Masyarakat Peduli.
The government collaborates closely with SEHATI
through Ministry of Health at national level,
Drinking Water and Environmental Health Working Group (Pokja AMPL) at
district level, the Administrative Heads at district and sub-district level, Chiefs
of the villages (Kepala Desa) at respectively district, sub-district and
village officials, and the sub-district health structure (Puskesmas).
Organisations involved in the programme implementation
are IRC (monitoring and capacity building) with the overall management of the
programme is done by Simavi.
SEHATI programme receives funding from the
Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands (EKN), from Simavi in the Netherlands
and from the Indonesian partner NGOs within the SEHATI Programme. It also
generates investments by the government in capacity building, implementation
processes and sanitation and hygiene facilities. In addition, the community’s
contribution is also made available for its own sanitation and hygiene
facilities.
During the SEHATI programme period, the
investments by the Government of Indonesia for safe water supply and sanitation
continue, including partnership with Pamsismas, Sanimas, BP SPAM.

government organisations to gauge the relevance, efficiency, effectiveness,
impact and potential sustainability of the programme. Part of these discussion
and contacts can be grouped in Jakarta (or other areas) allowing to meet the
main partners and to make a first field visit to involved local government and
communities.
Step 5: During the first ten days, the consultants
will finalise the methodology and sample for field surveys/evaluation in the
project areas. During this phase, the mission will also review the activities
of SEHATI performed at National level (support to MoH and other organisations
involved in sanitation).
The first assignment of the international consultant
will stop here.
Field Work
