Regional: Revitalization of Informal Settlements and their Environments using a Water-Sensitive Approach

Sovereign Project | 51290-001

The knowledge and support technical assistance (TA) will support the proposed Revitalization of Informal Settlements and their Environments using a Water-Sensitive Approach (RISE) Projects will be undertaken in Makassar city, Indonesia and in the Greater Suva Area (GSA), Fiji. 1 The TA will demonstrate the effectiveness of a water-sensitive approach for wastewater treatment, flood risk reduction, and urban environment improvement using decentralized green infrastructure to biologically treat contaminated and polluted water. Experiences and lessons from the project activities undertaken through the TA are expected to inform the technical design, implementation arrangements, and cost estimates for larger-scale interventions that may be undertaken by the Asian Development Bank (ADB) through investment projects. The TA will build on the preparatory work undertaken through the knowledge partnership with the Cooperative Research Centre for Water Sensitive Cities.

Project Rationale and Linkage to Country/Regional Strategy The Asia-Pacific region is the most rapidly urbanizing region in the world. As populations seek improved economic opportunities in cities, a growing proportion of urban populations are forced to live in informal settlements with inadequate infrastructure and limited or no access to basic services. The capacity of governments in the region to improve urban planning and implement sustainable land use practices is often limited. The conventional approach to urban services including water supply and sanitation usually relies on large scale, centralized trunk infrastructure. This infrastructure typically fails to service lower-income and informal areas, which often have insecure land tenure.
Impact Climate resilience, social, economic, and public health conditions improved.
Project Outcome
Description of Outcome Access to essential water related service provisions in informal pilot settlements in Makassar and Suva improved
Progress Toward Outcome Completed. The designs for the Batua, in Makassar, Indonesia and Tamavua-i-Wai in Suva, Fiji, were completed and constructed. Government and local community stakeholders were trained on operation and maintenance.
Implementation Progress
Description of Project Outputs

Appropriate water-sensitive design generated

Water-sensitive technology installed, operational and maintained

Knowledge to inform the scaling-up of the pilots through the project grant generated
Status of Implementation Progress (Outputs, Activities, and Issues) In both sites Batua, in Makassar, Indonesia and Tamavua-i-Wai in Suva, Fiji, two high-profile demonstration sites have been co-designed with community, engineered, tendered, and constructed. Training with local government and community stakeholders built human and institutional capacity for decentralized water and sanitation technologies and provided a platform for discussion and agreement on the long-term operations and maintenance of the systems.

Business Opportunities
Consulting Services The KSTA will finance national consultant inputs and civil works. The national consultant inputs are for conduct of community co-design, disclosure, sub-project design, costing, implementation planning, construction, management documentation and coordination of the activities. International inputs will be provided through the existing knowledge partnership with CRCWSC and as such are not categorized as consultant inputs under this KSTA.
Procurement All TA-financed goods to support the pilot activities shall be procured in accordance with ADB Procurement Policy (2017, as amended from time to time) and the associated PAIs/TA Staff Instructions.
