Summary
DFAT commissioned an Independent Review which was aimed to assess the performance of PBG for water utilities against intended outcomes and provide recommendations to inform future water and sanitation programming.
The performance-based grant (PBG) demonstration activity aimed to improve local water utilities (PDAMs) in Indonesia through targeted technical assistance and grant funding. Building on the Water Hibah initiative, it encouraged local government investment by requiring co-investment by each water utility over two years. The activity focused on improving PDAMs’ performance in four areas: continuity of water supply, water quality, billing and collection, and corporate governance. Supported by Australia, the program worked with 17 PDAMs across Western and Central Indonesia to enhance service performance.
