This document summarizes Indonesia's national policy on the development of community-based water supply and environmental sanitation. The policy was presented on September 14, 2006 and signed by six echelon I officers. It aims to improve access to water and sanitation, which are only at 53.4% and 67.1% respectively. The policy adopts a community-based approach and collaborative model between government, NGOs, and communities. It also outlines eleven principles like ensuring water is treated as an economic and social good, active community participation, and cost recovery. The overall goal is for Indonesia to meet its Millennium Development Goal targets for water and sanitation by 2015.

2. Facts
• Water and sanitation are basic human
needs. As the consequences, both
central and local government should take
the responsibility for the provision of
water and sanitation (Government
Regulation No. 16/2005; about Development
Water System)
• Unsuccessful progress:
– Water: 50% (year 2002)  53,4% (year 2004)
– Sanitation: 63,5% (year 2002)  67,1% (year
2004)

4. Implications ..
• There is a need to have a policy as a basis for water
and sanitation development, for both community
based and institutional based development
– Community based  Collaboration between
government, external support agencies, NGO and
community in water and sanitation
• Government, ESA, NGO  facilitator
• Community  main actor for development
– Institutional based;
• District-owned agencies (PDAM, PDAL, PD Kebersihan)
 operator
• Government through technical institution  regulator,
its better to have no governmental institution which is
acted as an operator

5. • National Policy Development of
Community-Based Water Supply and
Environmental Sanitation
– Already signed by 6 echelon I officers.
– Adopted by provincial and district governments.
– Implemented through projects funded by
government budget, donors and NGOs.
