Company Description

SNV Netherlands Development Organisation is an international not-for-profit development organisation whose vision is “A world where across every society, all people live with dignity and have equitable opportunities to sustainably thrive”. In order to do so we focus on Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH), Agriculture, and Renewable Energy. By connecting our global expertise with longstanding in-country presence, we help realise locally-owned solutions in more than 25 countries in Asia, Africa, and Latin America. Established in 1965 in the Netherlands, our projects directly benefit millions of people. SNV specializes in supporting the resourcefulness of development actors by developing local capacities, improving performance and services, strengthening governance systems, helping to create access for excluded groups and by making markets work for the poor.

The WASH SDGS For Sustainable And Inclusive Cities Programme

SNV understands safe sanitation and hygiene services as a pre-condition for health and economic development in cities. With Indonesia’s urbanization rate at 2.3% (World Bank, 2018), a failure to invest in urban sanitation will become a barrier for almost any development in the country. Access to sanitation is a human right and governments are the duty bearers of progressive realisation of this right. With the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), notably SDG 6 and the 2020-2024 RPJMN, Indonesia is committed to work towards universal access to safely managed sanitation services, this means services for all and addressing the safety of the entire sanitation chain from access to safe disposal or re-use.

Through the Dutch Government funded WASH SDGs programme, SNV supports local governments in the cities of Bandar Lampung (population of 1 million), Metro (population of 160,000) in Lampung and Tasikmalaya (population of 700,000) in West Java Province in achieving sustainable and inclusive city-wide sanitation services, in line with national programmes and targets.

Our Urban Sanitation and Hygiene for Health and Development (USHHD) approach is focused on achieving sustainable and inclusive city-wide sanitation and hygiene services. To achieve this, SNV:

• Works together with local authorities in the cities of Bandar Lampung, Metro and Tasikmalaya to create an appropriate enabling policy and regulatory environment for sanitation services at the local level,
• Develops financially viable and sustainable business models also with the private sector on the collection, transport, treatment, re-use and safe disposal of human waste,
