The USAID Indonesia Urban Water, Sanitation and Hygiene, Penyehatan Lingkungan Untuk Semua (IUWASH PLUS) program is a five year-and-eight 

months 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 1,100,000 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, USAID IUWASH PLUS also implements a Local Sustainability and Innovation
