Organisations

This project has been developed by Direktorat Jenderal Cipta Karya (Directorate General of Human Settlements, DGHS) Ministry of Public Works. The tender for this project expired on 1 May 2013.

Nuffic has awarded this tender to Unesco-IHE Institute for Water Education, which has formed a consortium with:

• Vitens-Evides,
• Institut Teknologi Bandung (ITB, Indonesia) and
• Institut Teknologi Spuluh Nopember (ITS, Indonesia).

Project description

The Directorate General of Human Settlements (DGHS) at the Ministry of Public Works (PU) is responsible for policies and standards in the water sector, including water supply, at a national level. DGHS has assigned Balai Teknik Air Minum dan Sanitasi Wilayah I Bekasi (BTAMS I) and Balai Teknik Air Minum dan Sanitasi Wilayah I Wiyung (BTAMS II) to cover the capacity building of the Municipal owned Water Companies (PDAMs).

The main challenge for both training centres is to meet the training demands formulated by the PDAMs and to improve internal institutional and organisational capacities of both training centres.

The project focuses on:

• human resource development,
• facilities and equipment,
• training products
• services to design, manage and deliver high standard sustainable education and training programmes in water supply.

Special attention to gender and the labour market will be integrated in the project.

The water sector in Indonesia is characterised by low service quality and poor levels of access. Over 100 million people in Indonesia lack access to safe water and more than 70 percent of the country’s 220 million population still rely on water obtained from potentially contaminated sources (self-provision, accessing ground water, wells, streams, or other sources).
