 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 field stories have been carefully selected and pieced together to reflect ESP’s ‘Ridge to Reef’ approach. This approach ensures the availability of clen 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 poor communities.
The structure of this publication illustrates this ESP approach. The first National chapter introduces program management approaches and cross-cutting components that make up the backbone of ESP programming. This is followed by three chapter which take the reader from upland Ridge, to intermediary Village, to lowland Reef.
Each chapter begins with an introduction to guide the reader through the selected stories. By using local testimonies and pictures taken by stakeholders in the field, these stories capture the essence of ESP programming from every regional field location. Read as a whole, all four chapters are testament to how dynamic and innovative stakeholders have worked together to secure safe and affordable water and sanitation while protecting and conserving the environment.
