Indonesia- Detailed Analysis of Barriers, Strategies and Opportunities for Water Investments

  Urban Vision     Rural Vision     Basin Vision  
Efficient land and water use with community participation
Rural Barriers Key Areas Strategies Opportunities
  • Inefficient farmer use of water
  • WUAs declining
  • Poorly operated irrigation systems
  • No benchmarking of performance of water users
Irrigation management: low levels of management leading to significant water loss for downstream users. Introduce new tech SRI and improve systems through R&U and improved asset management. Benchmark system and WUA performance Adjust and expand ongoing PISP INO 2064/65 loan into either new MMF or supplement Loan into expanded area as follow up to NSIASP INO. Support more RD in irrigation through PISP Balai Irrigasi initiative e.g SRI. Introduce Benchmarking through PISP
  • Limited commitment to rural public service obligations by LGs
  • Lack of funds for both capital and O&M (only 60%) needs met
Public Services (Institutions and Funding) : increase of funding and capacity to seriously address public sector obligation, prioritise the sector. Increase Public sector funding and commitments to full needs based O&M levels Targeted asset management programs: support R&D, knowledge sharing, capacity building, community awareness and advocacy. ADTA asset management O&M ADTA to BAPPENAS and LGs
  • Improve community involvement in maintaining infrastructure
  • Limited capacity to maintain and operate rural system
Community Participation: inadequate ownership in community systems Empower local communities. CDD approach enhances capacity and willingness to implement. Provide additional ADTA support to governance and community participation in PISP areas as a model for national implementation.
  • Lack of capacity to implement new prospects
Irrigation development capacity: low levels of capacity particularly ‘off java’ to identify, plan, design and implement. WSS/Irrigation skills and linkages mix technical, community participation, CSOs to strengthen. Review capacity needs and status in public, private and community sectors. Prepare rural development capacity action plan and implement ADTA Public and Private sector analysis on sector capacity needs and strengthening programs.
  • Rapid Deforestation
  • Forest and agriculture land conversion to other uses
  • High population growth limiting suitable land
  • Disparate population in rural areas makes water supply difficult and expensive
Land use management: Land use under pressure, spatial planning inadequate and complex issues not resolved, control poor Enforce the adoption of spatial planning. ADTA support to strengthen spatial planning implementation in the decentralized environment (see above Urban)
