Dear
Potential Bidders

BACKGROUNDIUWASH Plus
program (Indonesia’s Urban Water Sanitation and Hygiene “Penyehatan
Lingkungan untuk Semua”) is a program of water, sanitation and Hygiene in
urban Indonesia over five years funded by United States Agency for
international development or the U.S. Agency for International Development
(USAID). To support the Government of Indonesia to improve access to drinking
water and sanitation and healthy behaviors of low-income and vulnerable
community is poor. The program is funded by DAI Global LLC, IUWASH Plus working
with government institutions, private sector partners, NGOs, community and
others to achieve:• An increase
access to improved water supply service for one million people in urban areas
 of which at least 500,000 are from the poorest 40% of the population
(also referred to as the “bottom 40%” or “B40”).• An increase
access to safely managed sanitation for 500,000 people in urban areas and all
of whom are from Bottom 40.

ACTIVITY
BACKGROUNDDKI Jakarta is the
economic, political and cultural capital of Indonesia. The Mega-Metropolitan
area, “Jabodetabek” (Jakarta-Bogor-Depok-Tangerang-Bekasi), is the 6^th largest
metropolitan area in the world with a little under 20 million people. Half of
that population resides in DKI Jakarta. DKI Jakarta has faced tremendous urban
development and changes.  Built up areas in DKI Jakarta has increased
through formal businesses and settlements as well as non – formal businesses
and settlements. This settlement increase has not been supported by the
increases of environmental service capacities to support the consequence or
impact of the development. In addition to the rapid development in DKI Jakarta,
there are still areas that categorized as slump or Bottom 40 areas of which
need attention with environmental problems related to clean water and
sanitation provisions. In those slump and density areas piped water are not
available. Furthermore, sanitation facilities were not constructed according to
standard resulting in high contamination of ground water with E-Coli. The lack
of clean water in the majority of the population is suffering from diseases
caused by water parasites.

The DKI government
plans to provide funding to improve piped water and sanitation facilities to
poor and vulnerable population in “hotspot areas” through the development of
the RPJMD 2018 – 2022 of which needs program development inputs in clean water
and sanitation sectors. DKI Jakarta requested IUWASH PLUS in providing the
inputs in order that funding for clean water and sanitation facilities program
development and management could be allocated in the upcoming RPJMD 2018 –
2022.

To have a clear
picture of the clean water and sanitation condition and areas that need
assistance most, the DKI Jakarta local government needs to have an interactive
map of DKI Jakarta that shows all information, for instance, regarding areas
with the most vulnerable and densely B40 population and condition of sanitation
and clean water facilities.   Based on all of the above information, DKI
Jakarta requested IUWASH PLUS to assist with the development of a “WASH Grand
Design Strategy” to be presented before the DKI Jakarta executives and
legislatives to advocate for an increase in the budget allocation for
sanitation and clean water sectors in the RPJMD 2018 – 2022.
