| Description |
The transaction technical assistance (TRTA) is a subproject under the TAC 0013-INO: Sustainable Infrastructure Assistance Program as agreed with the Australian Government Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade. The TRTA will support the Ministry of Public Works and Housing (MPWH) to prepare the project. More specifically, the TRTA will provide support to (i) conduct consultations with MPWH and river basins stakeholders to finalize the scope of the project, and to ensure that innovations are built into the investment; (ii) undertake due diligence of technical, social, financial, environmental, gender, and economic aspects of the project; and (iii) ensure that subprojects designed under the Accelerating Infrastructure Delivery through Better Engineering Services Project and Flood Management in Selected River Basins Sector Project, are complying with ADB''s technical, environment and social safeguards and fiduciary requirements. The TRTA is included in ADB''s country operations business plan, 2017 -2019 for Indonesia. |
| Project Rationale and Linkage to Country/Regional Strategy |
Although the national water security index progressed from 40.9 (over a scale of 0 -100) in 2013 to 49.8 in 2016, Indonesia is still at risk. The country is deficient in certain dimensions of water security, especially in household water security, urban water security, and resilience to water-related disasters, for which progress has been slow. This slow progress is affecting economic development and poverty reduction. The ensuing Enhanced Water Security Investment Project will integrate, under a river basin approach, construction of flood risks management and raw water supply subprojects. The project is aligned with the government strategies and with the priorities of ADB country partnership strategy 2016-2019 for Indonesia. The project is included in the ADB's country operations business plan, 2020-2022 for Indonesia. |
