11. Village selection
1. Provinces preselected based on poverty index,
prevalence of water borne disease; and level
of WS&S access.
2. Districts selected by provinces according
similar criteria.
3. Villages long-listed by application following
“road-show” to village representatives at
district level.
4. Village short-listing based on priorities
according to health (diarrheal disease index),
poverty and WS&S access.
11

12. Village planning (1 of 2)
1. Village Implementation Team (VIT) elected to manage
the planning and implementation of village level
activities.
2. Support provided by District Technical Consultants and
Community Facilitators.
3. CFs work directly with villagers (through VIT) to
facilitate the preparation of a Community Action Plan
(CAP).
4. MPA/PHAST are key tools for the village CAP process.
5. At the core of CAP is informed choice by community
members including women and the poor.
12

13. Village planning (2 of 2)
i. CAP components include:
 Water supply infrastructure to level of detailed engineering design;
 Sanitation infrastructure;
 Community capacity building activities (health promotion, training).
II. Average cost of CAP is ~ Rp 200 mil (being increased to ~
Rp 250 mil in 2005). Includes community contribution.
III. Allocation is approximately Rp 175 mil for WS and Rp 25
mil for sanitation and other non WS activities.
IV. Community WS&S facilities funded directly from CAP
budget (as grant).

households.
VI. Household sanitation facilities funded by credit. Capital
provided to village as a grant.
13

14. CAP approval
1. CAPs are evaluated and approved by an
Evaluation Team at district level
2. CAP which exceed specfied financial and/or
technical criteria are forwarded to CPMU for
review and approval.
3. Bank approval required in some circumstances
(water supply investment cost > Rp 200
million).
4. Process monitored by PMC (CPMU - MC).
14

15. CAP implementation (1 of 2)
1. Payment made in 3 tranches
 1st tranche - 25% IDA grant plus 8% GOI (APBN + APBD).
Prerequisite – approved CAP, signed agreement between
VIT and District (DPMU), 4% cash contribution and
commitment to in-kind funding.
 2nd tranche - 50% IDA grant. Prerequisite – maximum
residual cash 10%.
 3rd tranche - 25% IDA grant. Prerequisite – 75% physical
completion, satisfactory review of community accounts and
PMC approval.
2. Implementation by unpaid community labour with
suppliers and/or contractors engaged for equipment
supply and specialised services.
15

16. CAP implementation (2 of 2)
1. DTC and CFs continue support to
community with facilitation and training
during implementation and for a period
post completion.
2. PMC monitors process in accordance

16

17. Completion & hand-over
1. Community responsible for operation and
maintenance of completed facilities.
2. Village level WS&S management organisation
(WMO) established to assume responsibility post
completion.
3. Payment (water tariff) system implemented to
meet costs for sustainable O&M.
4. Assets handed over to community after completion
of construction and establishment of WMO.
5. Project cycle from shortlisting to completion takes
12 – 18 months.

35. Component 2 –
Health Behaviour & Services
1. Health component has under-performed:
 Lack of integration with existing government health services and
programs;
 Sanitation outcomes.
2. Strategy is being reviewed/improved to:
 Engage with existing health services & programs (Puskesmas &
Sanitarian)
 Increase focus on health behaviour and sanitation in CAP;
 Address village-wide sanitation improvements in CAP
preparation;
 Strengthen training of CFs in relevant areas;
 Provide improved tools to support “informed choice” based on
broader range of technical options;
 Improve credit mechanisms.
3. Field trials of new approaches also planned in
conjunction with WASPOLA.
35

36. Procurement & MIS/M&E
1. Delayed procurement of TA consultants
has impacted significantly on
implementation in West Java and South
Sulawesi, and on overall progress.
2. MIS/MONEV
 Slow implementation of sustainability
monitoring.
 MIS infrastructure not conducive to
effective use of data.
