Urban Sanitation in Indonesia: Planning for Progress

The government has adopted national sanitation goals but without a strategy for meeting them in urban areas, and municipalities have had difficulty accesing funds should they decide to make improvements.
 
The Indonesia Sanitation Sector Development Program (ISSDP) is an innovative response to the growing sanitation crisis, instead of funding investments directly, it fosters an enabling environment for progress, with special attention to city-level planning, strengthening sector strategy and institutional arrangements, and advocacy and awareness raising at all levels.
 
This field note examines the city level planning and capacity building process which is at the heart of ISSDP and is helping to signal the way forward for sector strategy. Central to the process are collaboration between the various government organizations involved in sanitation at municipal level, and the identification of prioritized, affordable actions that will enable the cities to move steadily towards effective services, city wide.
