The
USAID  Indonesia Urban Water, Sanitation
and Hygiene ‘Penyehatan Lingkungan Untuk Semua’ (IUWASH PLUS) program is a
five-year initiative designed to assist the Government of Indonesia in
increasing access to water supply and
sanitation services as well as improving key hygiene behaviorsamong
urban poor and vulnerable populations.
Implemented by DAI Global LLC, IUWASH PLUS works with governmental agencies,
the private sector, NGOs, communities and others to achieve the following
“high level” results:

• An
  increase of one million people in urban areas with access to improved
  water supply of which at least 500,000 are from
  the poorest 40% of the population; and
• An

  increase of 500,000 people in urban
  areas with access to an improved sanitation facility and all of whom are from the poorest 40% of the population.

 To ensure
that improvements in access to WASH services are sustained, 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,
IUWASH PLUS 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
