The Environmental Services Program (ESP) is a five-year program which was developed by USAID/Indonesia in response to the Presidential Initiative of 2002 to improve sustainable management of water resources. This initiative supports activities in the following three key areas:
- Access to clean water and sanitation services
- Improved watershed management
- Increasing the productivity of water
In response to the decentralization of many government responsibilities in recent years in Indonesia, the ESP program was developed as part of the FY 2004-2008 country strategy to strengthen a moderate, stable and productive Indonesia. USAID will be implementing the country strategy around four major strategic objectives (SO):
1. Improved quality of decentralized basic education
2. Higher quality basic human services utilized
3. Effective democratic and decentralized governance, and
4. Effective systems of economic governance to increase trade and investment and drive new job creation
The ESP program provides technical assistance and related services to impact Strategic Objective No. 2 above, Higher Quality Basic Human Services Utilized (BHS). BHS focuses on the interdependence of health and the environment and their impact on health outcomes. To achieve this, USAID will increase access and utilization of key health and environmental services, particularly to those currently underserved or not served at all. Building capacity at the local government level to better deliver these services will assure sustainability of the technical assistance. The services considered integral to this objective include water, food/nutrition, and health services. Three intermediate results support the achievement of the SO:
- Governments, communities and private sector mobilized to advocate for improved health, water and sanitation services
- Essential services delivered effectively at the local level; and
- Improved practices and behaviors adopted at the community and household levels
