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:
1. 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
2. An increase of 500,000 people in urban areas with access to
safely managed sanitation.
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. In support
of these components, IUWASH PLUS also implements a Local Sustainability and
Innovation Component (LSIC) that is designed to stimulate WASH innovations that
strengthen community, private sector and government WASH service provision.
