Water and Sanitation Hibah IndII Wrap-up Conference 14th June 2011 Jim Coucouvinis
Water and Sanitation Hibah Retrospective and Perspective What did we set out to do? How did we do it? Who did it? What did we learn? Where do we go from here?
What we set out to do Support GoI objectives in the WSS sector: • MDGs • PDAM Debt restructuring • Increase investment in WSS Address known problems in the WSS sector: • Underinvestment in WSS • LG responsibility for WSS • Low PDAM coverage to poor households • Inadequate governance in the WSS sector Sustainability of improvements
How we did it Designed and implemented Hibah Program using GoI systems and procedures Legally binding obligations by LGs to implement the program Hibah rules: • Grant goes to LG based on verified outputs of new connections to poor households • LG equity in PDAM Left the LG and PDAM to set their own implementation arrangements within the hibah rules….and see what happens
Who did what? The GoI implemented the program The AusAID grant went to GoI budget, and MoFDIP The DGHS was the executing agency: • Determined the award of the hibah • Set the technical requirements • Set the poverty targeting • Verified the outputs The LG: • signed the on-granting agreement with MoF • The LG secured a DPRD regulation for equity investment • The LG invested equity into the PDAM The PDAM: • Implemented the program • Set the connection policy • Pre-financed or waited for LG equity
What did we learn? The design works? LG and PDAM are highly motivated by the program Equity investment is a differentiating factor PDAM policy on connections is innovative Poor households are good customers. Walikota/Bupatirecogniseconstituency benefits Real benefits to quality of life for recipients Evidence of payment accelerated the program 97% of connected households <900 VA Sanitation Hibah requires greater socialisationinputs and longer time to implement
Where to from here? Greater coverage > mainstreaming Closer linkage to other AusAID and GoI initiatives – borrowing by PDAMs (PerPres29) Performance based – PDAM > UfW; LG > Tariffs Multi year program > weaker LG/PDAMs can join More competitive selection of PDAMs Pilot sub-project > bidding for hibah Linkage to rural > CBO program Donor coordination
