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:
- 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
- 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.
