INDONESIA AUSTRALIA PARTNERSHIP FOR INFRASTRUCTURE: THE CONTRIBUTION OF AUSTRALIA-INDONESIA INFRASTRUCTURE GRANT FOR SANITATION (SAIIG) TOWARDS YOGYAKARTA CITY MUNICIPAL SANITATION (2013-2018)

Abstract

The low quality and investment of infrastructure in Indonesia, especially in the urban sanitation sector, has an impact on many sectors in Indonesia, including the economy, education and health. This can have an impact on sluggish foreign investment in Indonesia due to unpreparedness in infrastructure. One of the things that can increase the level of sanitation in Indonesia is to establish cooperation between countries. Australia is one of the countries that is actively providing foreign assistance to Indonesia. With the principle of complex interdependence and foreign aid methods, Australia is working with Indonesia to tackle problems in the field of infrastructure within the Indonesia Australia Infrastructure Partnership (KIAT). Through KIAT, Australia is active in providing assistance in the form of funds and assistance to various infrastructure sectors in Indonesia, such as: road development, gender equality and social inclusiveness (GESI), to sanitation. One of the subprograms in the field of sanitation is the Australia Indonesia Infrastructure Grant for Municipal Sanitation (sAIIG) which is an output-based grant in order to stimulate urban sanitation development in Indonesia. SAIIG is given to qualified local governments, one of which is Yogyakarta City. This thesis aims to find the contribution of sAIIG to Yogyakarta urban sanitation in the 2013-2018 period. Using books, journals, and official government documents, this thesis finds sAIIG's contribution to Yogyakarta's urban sanitation in the form of building a House Connection that functions as a domestic wastewater treatment plant. Yogyakarta succeeded in completing the construction of House Connections for 5 years with 110% SR installed and 78.34% verified channels. In the future, it is expected that sAIIG can be continued in various regions in Indonesia equally.
