While its economy expands, Indonesia faces steep challenges in delivering adequate water services to its growing cities. In order to meet its MDG target for water supply, 56 million more people need to gain access by 2015. Local governments, with a new mandate to provide services, have not been able to access capital for expansion. A funding gap of $4 trillion remains to reach the goal.
The Ministry of Public Works’ Directorate General of Human Settlement and the World Bank jointly developed a Water Investment Roadmap (2011-2014) with funding from the Water Partnership Program (WPP). The roadmap provides a set of programming principles which encourage the sector to attract local financing, use up idle water system capacity, and improve the existing monitoring and evaluation system.
