Good practices for Social inclusion - Case studies and summary

Utilities. Dinas Kebersihan or solid waste agencies are responsible for the
management of urban solid waste.
The ISSDP
In 2005, the Government of Indonesia (GoI) and the World Bank Water and
Sanitation Program (WSP) started the four-year Indonesian Sanitation Sector
Development Program (ISSDP). Its purpose was the integrated promotion of safe
excreta disposal, waste water disposal, solid waste management, drainage and hygiene
at national and city level.
ISSDP was financed by Dutch Trust Fund to the World Bank and by the Government
of Sweden for wastewater, drainage and solid waste management (SUSEA
agreement). ISSDP is one sanitation programme in Indonesia and is distinguished
from others reported in the Sanitation Country Profile 30 because it links support to an
enabling national environment to demand-based city strategy development and
implementation.
The national component involved developing a national enabling framework for urban
sanitation and design national campaigns on sanitation awareness and handwashing.
The city component was to strengthen the capacities of the six pilot cities that had
come forth first to plan and implement improvements in urban sanitation (Table 4).

During the first two years a consortium of Indonesian and Dutch consultants was
contracted to help develop the national framework, build the capacities of six cities to
develop urban sanitation strategies and plans, and prepare three campaigns (to raise
leadership awareness of sanitation, make the poor more aware of sanitation solutions
and promote women‘s handwashing habits). In the second two years, support will be
given to strategy implementation at national and city level. A team of about 50 long
and short-term international and national specialists provide inputs such as: studies
and reviews, sanitation policy consolidation, strategy development, advocacy,
capacity building and guidelines and manuals development.
ISSDP is pro-poor: it should ensure that poor urban neighbourhoods and people get
equitable access to improved sanitation and hygiene. In 2007, the Joint Mid-Term
Review Mission advised to include also a gender strategy. A two-person team (one
national, one international consultant) was engaged to review the pro-poor and gender
approaches and support their strengthening at national level and in the city strategies.
