Total Sanitation and Sanitation Marketing Project : Indonesia country update June 2009 - learning at scale

The four-year Total Sanitation and Sanitation Marketing (TSSM) Project is now in its third year of implementation in India, Indonesia, and Tanzania. In East Java, Indonesia, it is demonstrating a combination of innovative approaches at a province-wide scale, in partnership with the national government and local governments of East Java's 29 districts. The project is operational zing the Government of Indonesia's new National Strategy for Community-based Total Sanitation. It is collaboration between the Government of Indonesia, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and the Water and Sanitation Program-East Asia and Pacific. This field note is an update on TSSM's progress in Indonesia and an attempt to identify what needs to be done before it concludes, in order that its learning experiences and knowledge products serve the purpose of scaling up access to improved sanitation in other provinces of Indonesia, as well as help neighboring countries in the region looking for strategies to help them achieve the Millennium Development Goal targets for sanitation.
