The USAID Indonesia Urban Water, Sanitation and Hygiene, Penyehatan Lingkungan Untuk Semua (IUWASH PLUS) program is a five-and-a-half-year initiative designed to assist the Government of Indonesia (GOI) in increasing access to water supply and sanitation services as well as improving key hygiene behaviors among urban poor and vulnerable populations. USAID IUWASH PLUS works with governmental agencies, the private sector, NGOs, communities and others to achieve the following “high level” results:
1. An increase of 1,100,000 people in urban areas with access to improved water supply service quality, of which at least 500,000 are from the poorest 40% of the population (also referred to as the “Bottom 40%” or “B40”), vulnerable groups or Indonesia’s eastern provinces; and
2. An increase of 500,000 people in urban areas with access to safely managed sanitation.
To ensure that improvements in access to WASH services are sustained, USAID IUWASH PLUS is guided by a development hypothesis that focuses on strengthening service delivery systems, so they can more effectively reach the poorest and most vulnerable segments of the population. In order to achieve this at scale, the program undertakes activities through four interrelated components, including: 1) improving household WASH services; 2) strengthening city WASH institutional performance; 3) strengthening the WASH financing environment; and 4) advancing national WASH advocacy, coordination and communication. In support of these components, USAID IUWASH PLUS also implements a Local Sustainability and Innovation Component (LSIC) that is designed to stimulate WASH innovations that strengthen community, private sector and government WASH service provision.
To achieve these outcomes IUWASH-PLUS is looking for a short term consultant to fill the position of
WASH E-Learning Development Consultant based in Jakarta Office (JOB CODE : WED-JKT/STTA)
Objective
Improving the capacity of WASH sector actors is critical part in the effort to increase access to safely-managed WASH, especially for the service providers’ personnel. Given that, USAID IUWASH PLUS include the capacity building aspect in the PDAM index, which use to track the improvement of PDAM performance as a result of USAID IUWASH PLUS technical assistance. However, many WASH service providers/operators such as PDAMs still have limited access to capacity building program due to several constrains, among others there are still few institutions that provide training program design specifically for PDAMs and cost for participating in the program. Balai Teknik Air Minum (BTAM) under the Directorate General of Human Settlements, Ministry of Public Works and Housing is one of the institution that provide such training, design specifically for water supply operators of PDAMs and focus on technical aspects of water services. BTAM provide training for PDAMs with different funding scheme, completely free for sick PDAMs, partial-funded for unhealthy PDAMs, and paid program for healthy PDAMs. BTAM has a comprehensive training program that divided into 4 clusters that are: production, transmission and distribution, mechanical and electrical, and other supporting aspects. Each cluster has several fields that describe in the following chart. However, BTAM has limitation to cater number of participants due to most of the comprehensive training program require longer face-to-face time to deliver, the duration of different training module is ranging from 5 up to 10 days, thus maximum participants that can be trained in BTAM are only 1,000 per year.
