The Indonesia Urban Water Sanitation and Hygiene (IUWASH) project is a
sixty-month program funded by the United States Agency for International
Development (USAID) and implemented under the leadership of DAI. IUWASH
works with government, the private sector, NGOs, community groups and other
stakeholders to improve access to safe water supply and sanitation in
Indonesia’s urban areas. The overall goal of IUWASH is to assist the
Government of Indonesia (GOI) in making significant progress in achieving
its safe water and sanitation Millennium Development Goal (MDG) targets by
expanding access to these services. The expected results to be achieved are:
2 million people in urban areas gain access to improved water supply;
200,000 people in urban areas gain access to improved sanitation facilities;
and the per unit water cost paid by the poor in targeted areas decreases by
at least 20%.
To achieve the above, assistance provided by the project is divided under three main technical components, including:
1. Mobilizing demand for water supply and sanitation service delivery;
2. Improving and expanding capacity for water and sanitation service delivery; and
3. Strengthening policy and the financial enabling environment for improved water supply and sanitation service delivery.
