This document represents the final comprehensive summary report for the Environmental Services Program (ESP), covering program start-up in December 2004 through to program closedown in March 2010. This combined final report is presented in four main sections. Section 1 provides an introduction to ESP program objectives, approaches, and lessons learned. This is followed by a summary of all major program achievements and summaries from each HPP and technical component. Section 2 presents a more detailed description of each of ESP’s regular High Priority Provinces (HPPs), from mobilization to close-out. Each HPP will introduce their program approach, defining program activities, significant comprehensive accomplishments and sustainable impacts.
Section 3 describes comprehensive achievements at the national level, including technical components and overall program management. Cross-references link Sections 2 and 3 to highlight program integration and address how regionally-specific activities, particularly PDAM and Small Grants achievements, are inextricably connected tnational component support.

This publication intends to take the reader across Indonesia, from Aceh to Eastern Indonesia, to share over five years of experience from the Environmental Services Program (ESP). Each story is written by an ESP partner, stakeholder, or staff member and relays their personal experience working directly with ESP program activities. These voices from the field introduce you to their rural and urban communities, as well as their offices, treatment facilities, government agencies, and municipal water companies.
The following fi eld stories have been carefully selected and pieced together to reflect ESP’s ‘Ridge to Reef’ approach. This approach ensures the availability of clean water by protecting upland sources, while working with water providers and users in the lowlands to increase access to water and sanitation services. This ‘Ridge to Reef’ approach emphasizes the intersection between the environment and health and, as a result, directly links upper watershed and urban poor communities.
