Indonesia urban water, sanitation and hygiene (IUWASH) project : mid-term evaluation review : final report

This core objective is defined by the following four high-level targets: (1) access of additional 2,000,000 people in urban areas to safe water supply; (2) access of additional 250,000 people in urban areas to improved sanitation facilities; (3) the unit cost of safe water paid by the poor in targeted communities to decrease by at least 20 per cent; and (4) 75,000 additional people to be trained in IUWASH activities. Three main technical components are defined as the means towards achieving these targets: (1) demand mobilisation; (2) improvement and expansion of capacity; and (3) strengthening the policy and financial enabling environments. The programme currently covers a total of 52 water utilities (PDAMs), of which 19 are in cities (kota) 31 in regencies (kabupaten, one is regional3 and one provinical4, plus sanitation in 54 local governments, of which 21 in kota and 33 kabupaten, These are located in five IUWASH regions: Banten/West Java, Central Java, East Java, North Sumatra and Eastern Indonesia. The objectives of the review itself are two: (1) a determination of whether the IUWASH contractor is meeting the expected results and outcomes agreed to in the Project Monitoring Plan (PMP); and (2) an estimate of the extent to which the development hypothesis is valid. The Statement of Work5 (SOW) asks three lead evaluation questions (LEQs) in terms of finding out whether these objectives are being met, to each of which a series of supplementary questions (SEQs) is appended. Findings and, where appropriate, recommendations for mid-term correction are provided in the three sections following this first section. (Excerpt, modified)
