Summary: | The Water and Sanitation Program (WSP)
has implemented the Global Scaling up Rural Sanitation
Project since 2007. One of the central objectives of the
project is to improve sanitation at a scale sufficient to
meet the 2015 sanitation Millennium Developmental Goal (MDG)
targets in Indonesia, India, and Tanzania. The baseline
assessment of the enabling environment was completed in July
and August 2007, during the start-up phase of the overall
project. This follow up endline assessment was carried out
three years later in mid-2010. This report presents the main
findings and recommendations from the endline assessment of
the ability of the enabling environment to scale up,
sustain, and replicate sanitation improvements in East Java,
Indonesia. Community-Led Total Sanitation (CLTS) was
introduced into Indonesia in May 2005 through field trials
in six provinces.The remarkable success of these
field trials, implemented with assistance from the Ministry
of Health (MoH) and two of its large rural water supply and
sanitation programs, caused the CLTS approach to spread to
several hundred additional communities, generated
significant demand from other districts, and led to its
subsequent adoption as the main methodology for sanitation
improvement in several large sector programs. Sanitation
remains a local government responsibility, and as a result
the decentralized and demand-responsive approach adopted by
the project in East Java has proved highly appropriate and
effective. In the absence of any larger central programs,
district governments were convinced to use their own
institutions and resources to implement the project,
resulting in sustainable arrangements and finance,
cost-effective use of local resources, as well as proactive
efforts to learn from others, innovate, and develop locally
appropriate approaches. The private resource agencies
contracted by the project were effective in supporting the
districts during this learning and development phase, and
most district governments now appear to be confident in
managing and sustaining their rural sanitation programs.
There is increasing consensus nationally that total
sanitation and sanitation marketing approaches are effective
program methodologies, with most rural sanitation programs
in Indonesia now utilizing some form of total sanitation
approach and many showing interest in developing a
sanitation marketing component. |
