Dear All,

DAI, the implementer of the “USAID
Indonesia Urban Water Sanitation and

Hygiene (IUWASH)”, invites qualified offerors to submit proposals to supply
and “Event Organizer for National Office
Close Out Event” in support of program
implementation.

A.  Background

IUWASH (Indonesia
Urban Water Sanitation
and Hygiene) is a 5-year program to develop the water,
sanitation and hygiene sector for
Indonesian urban, funded by the U.S. Agency for
International Development (USAID).
IUWASH seeks to help the Government of Indonesia in order to achieve the Millennium Development Goals through the
expansion of access to clean water and safe
sanitation services. Expanding
access to water and sanitation services to
the urban poor in Indonesia, especially those
currently having very limited access to
both services is the
main goal IUWASH. 
The expected results are: (a) 2,4 million people
living in urban areas will have
access to safe drinking water
services, (b) 250.000 people living in
urban areas can gain access to improved sanitation services, and (c)
the cost per unit
to obtain water by the low income groups can be decreased 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.

Since 2011, IUWASH has operated in 5 main regionals
and one national office. IUWASH national team was working with the key national
partners to support the program implementation
at regional levels. Reaching the final year of IUWASH, a
series of close-out events have been conducted at regional level.  A culmination close out event is prepared to
celebrate the success of partnership between IUWASH and other partners at
national level. This event will bring the representatives of IUWASH Partners at
regional level as well as IUWASH partners at national level to share the final
achievements. This event will mark the ending of IUWASH Program and open the
new chapter of follow on program of IUWASH. The national event will
be conducted through an innovative session that will be able to track full
attention of audience to the event agenda. In the same time, the audience will
get the message of the event. The messages include several aspects as follow:

·        
The success of IUWASH program. This aspect will be
shown at least through the testimonies from IUWASH partners and display on
several facts of IUWASH achievements and other information.

·        
The concern of USAID Indonesia to support the
Government of Indonesia to achieve the Universal Access of Water Supply and
Sanitation in 2019. This aspect can be shown through statements and
participation by the IUWASH National key partners.

·        
Launching the new chapter of follow on IUWASH
Program by USAID Indonesia and representative of Government of Indonesia. This
aspect will show strong commitment of both institutions to continue the valued
partnership to improve the water supply and sanitation sectors.

The Event Organizer will assist the National team
committee on providing the service to design and implement the final workshop
of IUWASH Close out.  The national close
out event will achieve several objectives as follow:

·        
To raise awareness of audience on the results of
several IUWASH program initiatives to improve water supply and sanitation
sector in order to contribute on achieving the Universal Access of Water Supply
and Sanitation in 2019.

·        
To share and celebrate the successes of IUWASH
program by involving full participation of IUWASH partners in the event.

·

Government to support the program sustainability in term of maintaining the
results and replication for further implementation.
