Community Based Total Sanitation in Indonesia (CBTS Profile): The Progress September 2009

The Government of Indonesia has given special attention on hygiene and sanitation by setting Open Defecation Free (ODF) and hygiene and healthy behaviour improvement in the National Mid-Term Development Planning 2004-2009 in 2009. This is inline with the Government’s commitment in achieving the targets in Millenium Development Goals (MDGs) in 2015 which is to halve the proportion of the population without sustainable access to safe drinking water and basic sanitation. However, the old approach focusing on physical activity in providing sanitation facilities has not been successful to the improvement of access to sanitation and community hygiene behaviour.
 
In regards to that conditions, the Government developed Community-Based Total Sanitation (CBTS) activities which have been introduced in Indonesia since 2005 through piloting Community-Led Total Sanitation (CLTS) approach in 6 districts. In Indonesia, the CLTS approach, which was initially introduced only to trigger the community to stop practicing open defecation, was then developed into five pillars of activities that was officially launched by the Minister of Health on August 22nd, 2008 in Jakarta.
 
The CBTS activities have shown a significant progress, the National Strategy for Community-Based Total Sanitation (NS-CBTS) which was established as the Minister of Health Decree No.852 of 2008, has been adopted and implemented by more than 220 districts/ cities in Indonesia.
