Institutionalization of Rural Sanitation Capacity Building in Indonesia
Indonesia has made significant increase in rural sanitation access and services from 20.64 percent in 2006 to 44.09 percent in 2013. A study conducted in 2012 estimated a capacity gap of 12,000-18,000 sanitation professionals (from engineers to com...

| Summary: | Indonesia has made significant increase
in rural sanitation access and services from 20.64 percent
in 2006 to 44.09 percent in 2013. A study conducted in 2012
estimated a capacity gap of 12,000-18,000 sanitation
professionals (from engineers to community workers) to meet
the 2015 millennium development goal (MDG) targets, with 30
percent of community health centers not having frontline
sanitation personnel. Capacity building programs have so far
been largely conducted by technical units, projects, and
local government offices. Following an assessment on how and
where to best address the issues, the technical assistance
(TA) recommended a transformative approach, away from
project-based cascading training where training is done at
national level and then repeated and cascaded to provincial,
district, sub-district, and village levels to an
institutionalized capacity building program. The
institutionalization of capacity building program targeted
two primary audiences: future professionals (pre-service)
addressed through integrating national strategy for
community-based total sanitation (STBM) modules into health
polytechnic schools curriculae and current professionals
(inservice) addressed through accredited and certified
training programs, with an additional e-learning scheme to
reach out to a wider group of professionals and interested
parties. The support to scale-up the use of the STBM human
resource capacity building system can be provided via a
circular letter of Ministry of Health (MoH) to local health
offices and STBM partners. Continuous support through the
MoH system to follow-up and evaluate outcomes of training
and education will be key to sustainability and roll-out
across all provinces of Indonesia. |
