- 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
- 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 Component (LSIC) that is designed to stimulate WASH innovations that strengthen community, private sector, and government WASH service provision.
The Swiss State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (SECO) acting through the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) share the mutual goal of improving the performance of water utilities to increase access to clean water in Indonesia, particularly to address two technical challenges that are especially impactful: (1) high rates of non-revenue water (NRW); and (2) poor energy efficiency (EE). To provide a comprehensive and measurable NRW reduction and EE improvement in Indonesia, SECO agreed to co-finance USAID for a three-year technical assistance program, implemented under the current USAID IUWASH PLUS program with seven PDAMs in two regions, i.e. West Java and Central Java provinces.
To achieve these outcomes IUWASH-PLUS need high caliber candidates to fill the position of Individual Consultant - PDAM WebGIS Integration Specialist (JOB CODE: STTA/WGIS_JKT)
The purpose of Implementing the WebGIS application is to support the non-revenue water (NRW) reduction program, particularly by displaying spatial data on pipelines, district meter area (DMA), and customer locations. This application can later be equipped with a display of the locations of water pressure and discharge sensor points along with their reading data, making it easier for PDAMs to manage water loss caused by pipe leaks. Digitally, the WebGIS application will help the process of finding the location of leaks and the causes of lack of water pressure, the handling of distribution problems in the field will be carried out more quickly, efficiently, effectively, and transparently, in the end, it will help reduce NRW water and increase Local Government income especially from drinking water services to the community. On the other hand, this application will also be able to assist PDAMs in the process of implementing new connection services, disconnection actions, and plans for developing service coverage areas.
To ensure that the USAID-SECO technical assistance in the implementation process of SPAM spatial data integration into the WebGIS system, in 10 (ten) PDAMs runs smoothly, a short-term technical assist staff is needed.
Tasks:
The main responsibility of the PDAM WebGIS Integration Specialist is to assist PDAMs in integrating water supply spatial data into the WebGIS application system for 7 (seven) PDAMs of 2 (two) regions, which are PDAM Kota Magelang, Kab.
