Success Story:
Indonesia Environmental Services Program
The USAID/Indonesia Environmental Services Program (ESP) covers six of the most densely populated provinces in Indonesia. ESP is a $47 million program and works with water as an integrating theme to address the linkages among environmental health, water resource protection, biodiversity conservation and critical land rehabilitation with public health issues of diarrhea prevention and increased access to clean water and sanitation services as key focal areas.
ESP’s work is making a difference. In just three years the program has achieved a number of outcomes, including:
- 26 local policies supporting land tenure and community access rights passed
- 13,092 hectares of critical land rehabilitated
- 64,261 hectares of high conservation value forest under local management
- 152 community groups practicing improved natural resources management
- 61,479 households or 249,660 individuals with increased access to clean water
- 25,231 people trained in effective hand washing with soap
- $15,318,000 of financial resources leveraged to expand and sustain ESP’s work
- 25 water companies with improved operations and efficiency indicators
- Indonesian cities finally taking wastewater collection and treatment seriously, and applying budget toward improved infrastructure
