Policy Monitoring and Governance: The Cost-Effectiveness of Community-Based Sanitation Programs in Indonesia

Abstract

Community-based sanitation (CBS) is a sanitation service option with technical and institutional assistance for poor urban communities to develop sanitation infrastructure in urban areas and treat domestic wastewater in small-scale sanitation systems. The Indonesian government has implemented critical policy interventions and investments to upgrade sanitation access nationwide since the early 2000s. This research will answer how policy monitoring and governance affect community-based sanitation program delivery through cost-effectiveness analysis. Building upon a qualitative paradigm, this paper contributes insights into community-based sanitation program effectiveness in local government. We adopted a descriptive case study-based research project in several urban villages in Bandar Lampung, Indonesia. We performed a qualitative content analysis of data with a conventional content analysis approach.
