SNV is looking for WASH SDGs Sanitation Road Map (consultancy work)

TERMS OF REFERENCE

Sanitation Road Map

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 specialised expertise in Agriculture, Renewable Energy and WASH to improve the health and livelihoods of millions of people, with a focus on the poor and marginalized groups.

The Water, Sanitation and Hygiene Sustainable Development Goals (WASH SDGs) Programme

SNV understands safe urban sanitation and hygiene services as a pre-condition for health and economic development in cities. With urban growth in Indonesia averaging 4.4% a year (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), Indonesia's government has committed to work towards universal access to safely managed sanitation services and improved hygiene.

Through its DGIS funded WASH SDGs programme, 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. In partnership with national and government counterparts, the WASH SDGs programme aims to improve the way human waste is managed by addressing the entire sanitation chain and answering different needs among the population with appropriate and sustainable service delivery models.

During the WASH SDGs programme implementation, SNV will conduct Sanitation Road Map. The Road map is an effort to prepare Tasikmalaya City Government in developing plans and actions to achieve targets sets out in the existing SSK, RPJMD and Renstra SKPD, provide guidance with clear and measurable steps and phases to achieve safely managed sanitation and affordable services especially domestic wastewater management and hygiene for the next 5 years.

Scope and Purpose

The challenges & complexity of domestic wastewater management within the Indonesian urban context will increase with the acceleration of population growth & density.
Tasikmalaya , the city with 619,847 population (163,118 HH)[1] also having huge sanitation challenges due to poor sanitation situation especially waste water management is not recognized as priority and there is why it is negligible or low budget allocation for sanitation programs and infrastructure.

The baseline survey on the existing sanitation condition of Tasikmalaya city that SNV conducted from February - April 2018 the results shows that only 89% of city population have toilet, while 11% still practising Open defecation (OD). From the 89% that have toilet only 45% have containment and only 10% have been desludged. Out 10% respondents that owned toilet and have been desludged only 3% were transported and dumped in to the treatment plant and 7% not being treated or discharged into open water bodies,.

The city also has several communal system coverage with only 7.31% of the total population and spread in 10 sub-districts having access to communal system.
Issues about high open defecation practices and hygiene promotion identified as huge challenge.
Clearly , there is an urgent need to develop clear sanitation policies be given high priority.

The city of Tasikmalaya just recently established Technical Implementation Unit (UPTD SPAL-D) for waste water management which still need to be strengthened both in human resources and management capacities.

Under Presidential decree no. 59/2017 on achieving the sustainable development goals is a foundation to allocate priority and budget and Tasikmalaya City at various levels have their sanitation related mandates and contribution to achieve the City as well as National target.

At the city level, Bappelitbangda as the leading sector to implement this strategic plan as well as coordinate the sector activities tried to provide efforts in the development of wastewater management and implementation of sanitation infrastructure facilities. Despite these efforts, the strategic plan was not fully realized.

Furthermore, The Pokja Sanitasi (a multi sector sanitation working group) appointed at provincials/district/city levels to facilitate and oversee planning and implementation struggling in securing sanitation budget because local governments are required to use the 'nomenclature' provided by MOHA when identifying program and activities to be funded by the APBD.

In addressing these challenges more attention needs to be given to some key dimensions comprising spatial planning, regulatory & institutional settings, selection of technologies, financing of investments and operations, gender and social inclusion , service management including treatment, disposal and re-use.

Recognizing that only 3% of safely managed sanitation in Tasikmalaya and the overall country target of 50% safely managed by 2030 the best strategy to cope with situation are urgently needed.
