Sanitation Management & Wastewater experts
(National and International position)
SNV is a not-for-profit international development organisation. Founded in the Netherlands 50 years ago, we have built a long-term, local presence in 38 of the poorest countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America. Our global teams of local and international advisors work with local partners to equip communities, businesses and organisations with the tools, knowledge and connections they need to increase their incomes and gain access to basic services – empowering them to break the cycle of poverty and guide their own development.
In Indonesia, SNV works together with local partners to provide technical expertise in two sectors: Agriculture and Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH). For the WASH sector, SNV is focused on increasing access to safely managed sanitation and in sustaining positive changes in hygiene behaviour, by providing scalable, market driven solutions tailored to rural and urban contexts.
SNV and the Sanitation Sustainable Development Goal (SDG 6)
With an urbanization rate of 4.1% per year, by 2025 Indonesia will have 68% of its population living in cities (WB, 2017). This fast paced urbanization brings many human, environmental and economic opportunities but also substantial development challenges. Safely managed sanitation and hygiene is a critical one, to ensure health and prosperity for everyone, especially the urban poor. In 2017, around 10.5 million urban people had no access to a toilet while 10 million more were resorting to unimproved sanitation facilities (JMP, 2019). With sewerage coverage existing in only 11 cities and 2% of city residents having no access to centralized sanitation systems, the vast majority of the urban population relies on on-site sanitation systems that are often sub-standard and/or inadequately managed. In 2018, it was estimated that only 7% of Indonesia’s wastewater was safely managed (Bappenas, 2018).. In line with the country’s commitment with the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 6, on water and sanitation, the forthcoming RPJMN 2020-2024 sets the safely managed target at 20%.. By 2030, the target is estimated at 53%. SNV believes safely managed sanitation and hygiene as a pre-condition for health and economic development in cities. Our sanitation and hygiene projects are focused on achieving sustainable and inclusive city-wide sanitation and hygiene services and support Indonesian authorities to achieve the targets SDG 6. To achieve this, SNV:
Works together with local authorities to create an appropriate enabling policy and regulatory environment for sanitation services at the local level
Develops financially viable and sustainable business models also with the private sector on the collection, transport, treatment, re-use and safe disposal of human waste
Works with communities to increase their awareness and engagement towards safe and affordable sanitation products and services
Guides the different stakeholders through a process of informed choice regarding technologies, finance strategies and service delivery models, in particular for low-income groups and slum residents.
SNV works at national, provincial and district/city levels, in close coordination with local authorities, the private sector and CSOs, paying special attention to the needs of women, girls and other vulnerable groups.
