Executive Summary
Introduction:
The aim of the water positioning survey is to identify opportunities, product market combinations
(PMCs), strategies, and approaches for the Dutch water sector in [country]. Chapter 1 gives an
overview of the current water situation and the water sector, chapter 2 provides insight in the current
activities, opportunities, and potential PMCs that are present for the Dutch water sector, and chapter
3 elaborates on the (positioning) strategies to enter and operate on the market.
Demand (pressing needs):
Prolonged droughts, increased frequency in extreme weather events, and heavy rainfall leading to
floods, and food security risks, are a few examples of Indonesia’s sensitivity for climate change
effects. In all sub sectors, pressing needs are there, the most important are:

Changing land use (e.g. urbanization, plantations), economic growth leading to industrial
expansion (e.g. food and garment industry), will increase pressure on the available water
resources (and demand for good quality water).

Increased discharge of municipal and industrial wastewater will deteriorate water catchment
areas and waterways and lead to low quality of river water.

Rapid urbanization, especially near the coasts will lead to increased peak discharges; this will
increase the risks of floods. Besides, urbanization will lead to increased use of groundwater that
causes land subsidence (leading to flooding).

The current coordination between ministries is poor and unsuccessful. Weak water management
leads to poor operations and maintenance of infrastructure.

Hard to reach areas are in need of water supply services. In order to meet the MDG 2015 targets,
1
GoI needs to bridge a USD 3.8 billion funding GAP .
Current interest and activities of Dutch organizations:
Indonesia ranks number one, having a 31% share in total export to Water OS countries. The main
activity of the Dutch water sector is to provide advice / capacity building, or act as supplier on water
management and water supply and treatment (including waste water). Public sector and knowledge
institutes were and still are important client groups; however the local private sector becomes
increasingly important. The Dutch water sector has a strong presence in dredging and land
reclamation; this is a specific niche with a limited number of sector players involved. Additional
promising areas are IWRM, and water productivity (food), cross-overs of interest are water and ICT
(flood warning systems). EKN and RVO support focus on water engineering, IWRM and WASH.
Potential product market combinations:
The confrontation of local demand and Dutch interests lead to the following potential PMCs:

Capacity building of local water providers (PDAMs), knowledge exchange on wastewater, water
and industry, and sanitation, NRW reduction strategies and implementation (client: PDAMs).

Coastal protection, polder development, both integrated into urban development, combined with
ICT based products and services in flood risk management (client: divers within private and
public sector).

Design and supply of wastewater treatment technologies for specific industries and public utilities
within the urban setting (client: PDAMs, garment and food industry).

Suggestions on positioning strategies for future activities:
Dutch companies should consider forming partnerships with the larger Indonesian companies, which
can then front offers to private companies and / or the government (preferably following an
unsolicited PPP procurement approach). Another strategy is to build consortia that aim to deliver
turnkey solutions while staying involved in the operations and finance for a longer period. Master
Plans and technology demonstration platforms are effective ways for positioning the Dutch
knowledge and products. WOP strategies proof to be effective when operating in urban areas (middle
sized urban areas: 2-3 million inhabitants) on water and sanitation.
This positioning survey is not a fully fledged marketing survey or report. This survey elaborates on
the (current/base line) activities of the Dutch water sector and flags potential opportunities and
product market combinations. The survey makes suggestions on possible positioning strategies for
Dutch sector players. To make a well balanced decision on entering or operating on these markets we
recommend organizations to perform an in-depth due diligence themselves.

Country profile
This chapter provides an overview of all relevant basic information on the country in general and the
water sector specifically. The chapter has three parts: 1) facts and figures on the country, 2) the
(physical) water situation, and 3) the water sector, describing the institutional setting and
framework. Part 3 ends mentioning the Dutch Government strategy on cooperation.
1.1
Facts and figures
Table 1 Facts and Figures
Stability
Political situation:
Indonesia is a relative stable country, with a large Muslim majority
(87%). Many provinces and districts know ethnic or religious groups
that want to have more law enforcing functions. Some unrest is
visible in Papua. The country knows freedom of (expression of)
religion; however, in practice this can be disputed. In addition, there
is freedom of association and assembly in the country, which has
lead to the establishment of many labor unions, grass root advocacy
groups and women’s rights associations.
After a long political history under President Suharto, the country is
still transforming to a more democratic state. After the financial
crisis of the late 1990s in Asia, a number of presidents have ruled the
country. The current president is Mr. Joko Widodo, who was elected
in 2014. The president is chosen through a general election, which
occurred first in 2004. Important governmental bodies are the
House of Representatives (DPR), the Regional Representatives
Assembly (DPD) and the People’s Consultative Assembly (MPR),
which consists of members of the DPR and the DPD. The
government reaches far in the country, to local municipalities and
village levels. The power of the army is limited, but it is still
influential in the background and has it’s fingers in many economic
activities. The power of large business groups is big, having great
pressure on the political system now-a-days. Indonesia has an antimonopoly policy, which means that the government does not grant
monopolies to politically connected entrepreneurs.

The water situation
This section describes the physical water situation (including flooding of river systems, coastal zones
and maritime areas), the influence of climate change, the effect of irrigation and the water pressure.
1.2.1
Physical description of the water situation
Rainwater:
Indonesia is located in a wet tropical region with an average annual rainfall of about 2,700 mm,
varying from 1,300 mm in East Nusa Tenggara to 4,300 mm in parts of Papua (Bappenas, 2004).
Ground water:
Most of the groundwater, an estimated 90% returns as base flow to the rivers. It is assumed that only
30% of groundwater resources are consumable, called ‘safe yield’. Over-abstraction of groundwater in
Jakarta has caused saline groundwater to reach about 10 km inland from the coastline and has led to
land subsidence at a rate of 2-34 cm/year in north Jakarta. Over-abstraction also occurs at the larger
municipalities like Semarang, Bandung, and others.
Surface water:
Most of the lakes in Indonesia are of volcanic origin. Lake Toba is the largest volcanic lake in the
world with an average surface area of 1,100 km2 and an average volume of 1,258 km3. Based on a
recent river territory inventory, Indonesia has 14 rivers that exceed state boundaries: five rivers with
Malaysia in Kalimantan island, three rivers with Timor Lorosae in Timor island, and six rivers with
Papua New Guinea in Papua island. There are no records of major issues related to these transboundary rivers.
Project number 2526

Sea water:
It’s worth noting that desalination does not have a significant role in Indonesia’s current mediumterm water sector development plan.
Climate and climate change
Being an Archipelago, Indonesia is very vulnerable for losses with climate change. Prolonged
droughts, increased frequency in extreme weather events, and heavy rainfall leading to big floods, are
a few examples of climate change. Indonesia will experience modest temperature increase and more
intense rainfall. Perhaps the largest concern for Indonesia is the impact on food security.
1.2.2
Food security has been a significant government concern starting from the world price shocks of
2008. Presidential Decree No. 5 Year 2011 calls for increased surplus rice production of 10 million
tons (about 15%) by 2015 to address food security through a policy of rice self-sufficiency. In 2011,
Indonesia produced 65 million tons of rice, production has been growing slowly (about 1% annually)
over the last ten years mainly from increases in irrigated area and cropping intensity.

2,019 km3/yr
113.3 km3/yr
Total internal natural renewable water resources are around 2,018.3 km3/year. Surface water
resources are an estimated 1,972.6 km3/year and groundwater resources 457.4 km3/year.
About 70% of the water availability is on Kalimantan and Papua, which is only populated by 13% of
the total population. On Java and Bali water demand exceeds water availability, in Java and Nusa
Tenggara a water deficit occurs during the dry season (July to October, varying by the province).
Even some significantly large river areas in Java are estimated to face water deficit problems during
the dry season.
Irrigation
The total cultivated area in 2009 was 426,000 sq km, which is around 24% of the total area of the
country, which is 1,811,569 sq km. The irrigated land is about 67,220 sq km (2006). The irrigation
potential of the country is an estimated 109,000 sq km. Indonesia’s agriculture sector is dominated
by the cultivation of rice of which 82% is grown under irrigation.
1.2.4
Flooding of river systems
Between 1970 and 2011 3,980 flood events were recorded in Indonesia with an estimated 1.1 ha of
destroyed crop land, and 65,000 kilometer of damaged roads. Yearly on the average 150,000 people
1.2.5
3
need to evacuate, 210 people lose their lives and 11,000 houses are being damaged .
As an example, in and around Jakarta, flooding is a major issue and a direct threat to the population
and the economical development of Indonesia’s biggest city. The capital region of Jakarta is located
on the north coast of the island of Java in the Indonesian archipelago in Southeast Asia. Jakarta is
situated in a lowland area, a delta where 13 smaller and bigger rivers try to reach the sea. About 40%
4
of the city, the area the furthest north near the Java Sea, is situated below sea level . The greatest
climate and disaster‐related risk facing Jakarta is flooding, which will impose high human and
economic costs on the city.

Besides Jakarta, parts in the North West of Sumatra, North Java, and parts of Kalimantan have been
hit by floods during the last decades.
Coastal zones and maritime areas
Indonesia has some 300 public ports scattered over the 54,716 km coastline of the archipelago.
Jakarta, Surabaya, Belawan, and Ujung Pandang, the four largest ports, handle most of Indonesia’s
export and import cargoes, except for special commodities such as crude oil, logs, timber, rubber,
palm oil, and fertilizer which use specialized ports. Much of the domestic traffic originates or is
destined to these four ports.
1.2.6
Inter-island shipping is the prevailing means for distributing goods through the ports in Indonesia.
The cargo volume carried by inter-island shipping services reaches over 300 million tons, far
exceeding international trade volume. It is estimated that inter-island shipping accounts for 60 % of
the total sea borne cargo movement in the country. Especially, for remote islands like Sulawesi and
others, the percentages of cargoes carried by inter-island shipping are even higher.
In the coming years (sea) port development will remain high on the top priority investment list of
GoI. The EKN Jakarta and the Indonesian Embassy in The Hague organize several seminars about
port development (e.g. on 30 April 2015, The Embassy of Indonesia in The Hague organized The
Third Indonesia-Netherlands Infrastructure Forum (IF III)).
1.3
The water sector
This section describes the public sector, the legislation, the spending and investment planning and
the role of the private sector, NGOs and knowledge institutes. This section ends by identifying the
pressing needs and explaining the Dutch Government engagement strategy.
Public sector
Indonesia does not have a centralized body that holds the responsibility for the water sector.
Different governmental bodies handle different tasks and are coordinated by the Government of
Indonesia (GoI ).

The ministry of Public Works and Housing (also referred as the Ministry of Public Works) is most
involved, this ministry is in charge of 1) the dealing with tenders, contract, and procurement
processes, which are then delegated to specific directorates, and 2) providing national-level water and
wastewater policies, technical standards and technical assistance.

The Directorate General (DG) Water Resources deals with the management and development of the
water sector, DG Human Settlement is involved in the water and wastewater sector through two
directorates. The Research and Development Board is responsible for conducting water resourcerelated research and development activities.
GoI acknowledge the need of a coordinating central body. The coordinating body is called the Water
Resources Council and is structured at different levels (e.g. National, Provincial) The board provides
service to the National Water Resources Board on the development and formulation on national
policy and strategy (water resource management), the management of river and groundwater basins,
and the development and formulation of policies on hydrological information systems. It is unclear
how this body is structured and the power of influence it has.
Besides the different Ministries mentioned above, the National Development Planning Agency
(BAPPENAS) plays a crucial role. This Ministry prepares the National Development Plan, including
project coordination and evaluation within the water sector. This agency is an advisory body to GoI .
Within the Ministry of Agriculture, DG Infrastructure and Agriculture Inputs is responsible for
farmer level irrigation management and the Water User Associations. This DG formulates policies on
land and water management and promotes responsible planning, administration and management.

Decentral level:
As part of its major bureaucratic reform program, the Jakarta city administration will spin off the
water resources unit from the Public Works Agency. The separation will take effect in 2015.
Currently, the Public Works Agency oversees various infrastructure sectors, including roads (Bina
Marga) and water resources (rivers and coasts). The new agency overseeing rivers and coastal areas
would focus on water resources, flood control and waste treatment, issues deemed crucial to Jakarta.
PDAMs are the local suppliers of drinking water (state-owned), with exception of a small number of
private concessions.

Legislation
Indonesia is divided into 33 provinces, made up of 400 cities or municipalities (kota) and districts
(Kapupatan). Districts and cities are divided into sub-districts. Provinces, districts and cities are led
by governors, regents, and mayors. Each level of the three tier structure has an executive and a
legislature. GoI passes legislation and provides detailed guidance for implementation as Indonesia
has a highly decentralized system of government. The majority of local government is heavily in debt,
which has held back implementation and enforcement of regulations.
1.3.2
In 2004 GoI passed the ‘new’ water law, although not fully completed, for the first time this law
provided a framework for water legislation and governance, and included advanced concepts of
IWRM and the decentralization law. From 2004 this framework has slowly been started to fill out.
Regarding drinking water and wastewater discharge standards, the relevant legislation is:

Law No 32/2009 Protection an Management of the Environment

Government Regulation No. 16/2005 Development of Water Supply System

Law No. 32/2004 Local Government Autonomy

Minister of Environment Decree No. 51/2004 Sea Water Quality Standard

Law No. 7/2004 Water Resources

Government Regulation No. 82/2001 Water Quality Management and Water Pollution Control

Law No. 23/1992 Health (setting drinking water quality standards)

Minister of Environment Decree No.45/1996 Clean Beaches/Shores program
In the first quarter of 2015 the Water Law 7 of 2004 was declared unconstitutional by the
Constitutional Court in February and is now void in its entirety. This has far-reaching consequences
for all commercial activities that use water. The extent of these consequences requires further
research and will depend on the effectiveness of attempts by the Ministry of Public Works to repair
the legal loopholes that now exist. In any case, it will increase the pressure on companies to minimize
their extrusion of water from the environment, and recycle and reuse water as much as possible.
Regarding wastewater discharge (standards), the relevant legislation is:

Government regulation No. 16/2005

Regulation of the Minister of Environment No. 112/2003 (domestic wastewater)

Minister of Environment Decree No.51/1995 KEP-51/MENLH/10/1995 (industrial wastewater)

Specific decrees per industry sectors (e.g. Minister of Environment Decree No. 122/2004)

Specific decrees for Industrial Zones (e.g. Minister of Environment Decree No. 3/2010)

Law 32/2009 allows the provisions to strengthen the enforcement

Minister of Environment Decree No. 29/2003 (reuse of wastewater for irrigation)

Specific regulation applies to use of water in industry, just as activities performed under other water
sub sector. The listing of these regulations goes beyond the scope of this survey.
Public sector current spending and investment plans
Water and wastewater sector funding is primarily the responsibility of the local government and the
respective PDAM in the particular area. However local budgets are not sufficient to finance the
infrastructure needed to meet demand, therefore local governments pursue alternative funding
sources. The total contribution of PDAM and local government into the common water infrastructure
1.3.3
6
is USD 62.2 million (2009) and growing 25% ever since . The Indonesian Investment Agency (PIP)
started its operation in 2007, its assets have grown from USD 518 million to USD 1.6 billion in 2011.
The Indonesian Water and Sanitation Financing Program is expected to start its operations from
2013 and is financed by GoI , World Bank and other donors. In 2011 capital expenditure (drinking
water and wastewater) reached a level of about USD 2.1 billion. GoI has allocated a budget for Water
Supply in Urban and Rural settings of USD 6.7 billion (2011-2014), and a budget of USD 3.4 billion
for the wastewater sector (2009-2014).
Public spending on irrigation decreases slightly, but still the GoI spends about EUR 250 million on
irrigation annually, EUR 218 million through central budgets of the Ministry of Agriculture, and EUR
7
33 million through the so called Special Allocation Funds .
Private sector
At the local level, the government acknowledges the need of private sector involvement in small-scale
private sector cooperation, large-scale PPPs and CSR projects. The potential of CSR funding is
estimated between USD 1.5 and 2 billion annually. Commercial on lending is currently possible
through the World Bank assisted Urban Water Supply and Sanitation Project, a project that allows a
selected number of PDAMs to improve their water supply infrastructure.
1.3.4
The Water Resource Law No.7/2004 allows a degree of water privatization by giving water
exploitation rights to individuals or businesses. So far international companies participate mostly
through PPPs (mainly concessions and BOT contracts). Progress in engaging the private sector in the
water and sanitation sector has been slow. Factors that constrain PPPs include institutional
coordination and leadership issues, land clearance problem, poor project identification and
preparation, and the continuing regulatory uncertainty (Indonesian Infrastructure Five Years and
Beyond Key Themes and Priorities for the 2015-2019 Development Plan. Ind. II, 2013).

Regional fiscal balance funding is a fund, financed by the central budget and allocated to an area/region to fund area’s necessity in
decentralization implementation. This funding comprises three different funds: Revenue Sharing Fund, General Allocation Fund, and
Special Allocation Fund. Based on the Indonesian Proposed Budget 2015 the regional fiscal balance funding in 2015 is IDR 509,499.2
billion (USD 38.5 billion (1 USD = 13,245 IDR)). The amount of money pledged in the special allocation fund is IDR 35,820.7 billion
(USD 2.7 billion), IDR 496 billion (USD 37.4 million) of this fund is allocated to irrigation.

NGOs and knowledge institutes
In terms of Indonesian (local) NGOs who are working on water issue, there are quite a few of local
NGOs doing water programs around Indonesia especially in rural areas. These NGOs focus mainly on
sanitation and hygiene behavior. This is in line with the GOI ’s national policy on community-based
sanitation. NGOs tend to follow the donor trends, and have water and sanitation as one of their
programs, besides e.g. health or livelihood for example. NGOs focus on the areas or communities that
are left behind in GoI water programs.
1.3.5
Local NGOs operating in the water sector are: Yayasan Dian CD Bethesda, Yayasan Rumsram, and
Yayasan Masyarakat Peduli. Dutch NGOs actively involved are SNV, Plan Indonesia, and Simavi. The
biggest water and sanitation programs in Indonesia are those from WSP World Bank and UNICEF at
the national level, as for the international agencies working for WASH in Indonesia AusAID, and
USAID (IUWASH) play an important role as well.
Every Ministry in Indonesia has a Research and Development Institute. Besides, five non-ministerial
government institutes are in place, coordinated by the State Ministry of Research and Technology,
one of these five is worth to mention: Lembaga limu Pengetahuan Indonesia (LIPI). Indonesia hosts
the Regional Water Knowledge Hub for River Basin Organizations and Management (CRBOM) as
well. CRBOMs’ knowledge partners include local, national, regional and international institutions.

Dutch cooperation and priorities through EKN
EKN Jakarta focuses on three areas: 1) water and safety, 2) water, food eco/river basin systems, and
3) sanitation and wastewater treatment.
1.3.6
Regarding water safety, the objective is to apply the jointly generated Indonesian and Dutch
knowledge and experience in the field of flood control, delta management and integrated water, land
and spatial management at the level of government policy and planning, and private sector
investment activities. The expected result is 1) to enhance the Netherlands’ share in the effective
implementation of the Jakarta coastal development Master Plan by private and public investments in
a substantial way, and 2) to make sure flood and water management programs are operational or
completed in similar delta or flood prone areas (Semarang, Surabaja, Bandung, Maluku river basins).
Regarding water, food and eco/river basin systems, the objective is to improve land- and watermanagement on Java and Bali in such way this will contribute to higher yield level and more efficient
water use in agriculture through use of Dutch water and agricultural expertise. The expected results
are 1) firms from the Netherlands continue to play a significant role on the water and food (security)
nexus, 2) improved operation and management of irrigation systems and (irrigated) land in
Indonesia by applying the approach of the Participatory Irrigation Sector Project (PISP) in the
Indonesia Irrigation Sector Program (IISP), and 3) intensive agriculture approaches for peri-urban
areas (re-use, water efficiency) are applied.
Regarding sanitation and wastewater treatment, the objective is to 1) strengthen the role of the Dutch
water sector in sanitation programming and implementation in the public sphere as well as the
market presence in private (urban) markets, and 2) promote the use of Dutch experience in the field
of water treatment, monitoring of water quality and environmental regulations. EKN aims 1) the
Netherlands will acquire a central position in the areas of urban sanitation and water quality
management, 2) the Urban Sanitation approach (PPSP) to be applied in all 490 urban centres (policy,
plan, implementation), 3) off-site sanitation installations operational in selected cities in Indonesia,
4) (post-) MDG targets on sanitation and national STBM objectives reached in selected districts and

villages in East Indonesia and South Sumatra (persons and districts), and 5) inclusion of the
PPSP/USDP and STBM experience within the Five Year Plan 2015-2019.
Cross cutting themes are 1) climate change, and 2) capacity and institutional development.

Chances and opportunities
This chapter presents the results of the web survey among Dutch water sector players, completed by
the main observations derived from previous (existing) market studies and interviews with water
professionals and strategic actors within the Dutch water sector (please refer to Appendix 1 providing
an overview of the method of research). The first section describes the current situation. The second
section describes the most important trends, linking the current situation with future opportunities,
which is the topic of the third section. This chapter ends by identifying promising product market
combinations (PMCs).
2.1
Current situation
The section starts by describing the current situation, how the Dutch water sector is involved, the
type of activities performed, client groups and performance on specific development indicators.

This estimation is based on the sample results of the web survey. Starting from this value relative export shares of the various regions
and countries have been determined for the sample. Since the sample may not represent the whole water sector in an optimal way, the
research cannot draw any hard or general conclusions. The actual value of export will be higher, but this value can only be obtained with
sample results once the whole population is known. Getting to know the population is complex and cannot be realized in the context of
this study. Another complicating factor lies in the fact that large projects (especially those in water construction) may influence export
figures drastically and lead to large fluctuations over time. For the sample of the web survey no such ‘disturbing’ projects have been
found. The method used in this survey is in line with the method used for WEX 2014, which are also based on sample results.

Figure 4 shows that Indonesia is a popular country for Dutch companies as well as for NGOs in the
water sector (see 1.3.5. for an overview of most important NGOs active in Indonesia). It appears that
33% of the companies and 50% of the NGOs in the sample are active in this country. About 33% of
the companies and nearly 20% of the NGOs in the sample are not active yet in Indonesia but
interested though. Do note, this overview does not comprise the perspective of the size of the
activities (in contrast to figure 3 that involves the monetary value of activities).

Trends
This section describes the trends starting by summarizing the most important pressing needs
followed by an overview of government plans and the agenda of donors and funders.
Pressing needs
Although water resources are abundant, the seasonal and spatial variation in the rainfall pattern and
lack of adequate storage create competition and conflicts among users. The continuing urban and
industrial expansion will put more pressure on the available water resources, and will lead to
increased demands for good quality water.
2.2.1
Municipal and industrial wastewater is discharged virtually untreated into the waterways causing
rapid deterioration in the quality of river water. The Ministry of Environment indicates a number of
12,000 SMEs with surface water pollution potential, about 50% of the industries can be found in the
food and beverage sector, about 20% in the textile industry. Water quality standards are frequently
exceeded and the collapse of existing reservoirs’ natural purification capacity is an important threat
for the future water supply in the region. Within the urban settlements, there is a lack of public
understanding on the importance of proper sanitation and wastewater treatment, causing diseases
and environmental damages.
13
Especially the small islands have limited ground water resources and face acute water stress . Deep
groundwater resources are being exploited at a rate which is not sustainable.
Rapid urbanization, especially near the coasts will lead to increased peak discharges. Together with
the large subsidence in cities like Jakarta and Bandung, this will increase the risks of floods. Climate
change will have an accelerating effect on this trend. Together with the deterioration of watersheds,
flooding causes massive sedimentation of reservoirs.
13
FAO, Aquastat 2014
Project number 2526
22
The main threat to water availability is poor water management. There is a lack of a centralised body
that specifically deals with all water sector related issues, the current coordination between ministries
is poor and unsuccessful. This leads to poor operations and maintenance of the current water and
wastewater infrastructure.
Hard to reach areas are in need of water supply services. In order to meet the MDG 2015 targets, GoI
14
needs to bridge a USD 3.8 billion funding GAP .
15
Government plans and agenda
Since 2010 GoI has been using the five pillar strategic approach for the development of the drinking
water sector:

Improve of coverage and quality of drinking water

Optimalisation of multi funding development, aimed to attract financing from local governments

Institutional and regulatory development especially on water service providers’ level

An IWRM strategy to protect river basin areas

Strengthen the partnership with private sector and general public
2.2.2
On wastewater GoI has developed a five pillar strategy as well:

Increase access to on-site and off-site sanitation, regarding the first mentioned the aim is to reach
a 55% coverage on national level through application of individual or communal septic tanks

Increased community and private participation

Strength institutional capacity of service providers

Improving law enforcement

Improve financial capacity and increase access to alternative funding sources
GoI is focusing its efforts on reaching the MDGs, which opens up opportunities for the private sector
as GoI cannot reach these goals on their own. Especially the BOT contracts for Water Treatment
Plants and water supply pipe networks will open new opportunities. Due to the ongoing
decentralization, GoI pays attention to the capacity building of new local water service providers in
the newly developed urban areas.
Though climate change is not a key driver for policy change, the government of Jakarta set policies
related to climate adaptation in their Spatial Planning for 2030. The increasing attention of the
government in climate adaption will probably result in more regulations for the private sector,
especially for the property developers. This might become a driver for solutions that focus on e.g.
increasing water catchment and groundwater recharge. However, in order to be effective, such
policies and regulations will have to be monitored. At the moment this is not always the case and
therefore policies do not always result in opportunities yet.
During the research the plans and agenda of the new government (2015-2019) were not known yet.

2.2.3
Macro developments in agriculture and industry
As the manufacturing industry on Java is growing, the water use by industrial sector is expected to
increase. In 1990 this sector contributed 1% of the water consumption, in 2000 6%, in 2011 16%.
2.2.4

The fiber, textile and garment (FTG) sector is one of Indonesia’s oldest and most strategically
significant industries, employing 11% of the national labor force, accounting for 8.9% of total exports
(2010). The industry uses vast amounts of water, and is one of the major contributors of water
pollution in West Java.
The food and beverage sector grew by 176.3% during 2000-2009, the economic value in 2010 was
16
USD 194 billion . Domestic consumption is expected to continue growing, this will lead to a higher
demand and increase of production capacity. The food and beverage sector is a heavy water user as
well.
Indonesia is one of the largest exporters of (thermal) coal, aluminum, nickel and tin. Like any other
country the minimization of water and energy usage is trending as prices rise. In Indonesia however
this is not directly driven by country or site-specific parameters (e.g. scarcity) but rather in the light
of climate change and an increasing demand of other users. Therefore it can be expected that the
drive for the implementation of water/energy saving techniques will be low. Water security and
supply are generally not regarded as an issue by the community but rather the pollution that may
17
occur as a result of mining operations .
The agriculture sector on contrary becomes more water efficient as the water consumption dropped
from 93% (1990) to 80% (2011). However based on monitoring by GoI, a decline in conditions of
large irrigation areas (especially those managed by districts/cities) was observed, due to neglected
investments. In 2010 GoI calculated an estimated loss of 10 million ton of harvested rice. Facing this
reality and a rapidly growing population, GoI had to allocate significant budgets to finance the
18
rehabilitation of 3 million ha, and the construction of 1 million of new irrigated area .

Dutch support programs (EKN)

The Netherlands supports the implementation of the five year plan for urban sanitation that was
initiated in 2010. Jakarta and the Citarum basin are of particular interest for sanitation,
wastewater treatment and water quality management. Rural sanitation will maintain its focus on
increasing access to sanitation through off site technologies. The main program is the Urban
Sanitation Development Project (HaskoningDHV), additional projects are SHAW (Simavi), and
Sanitation program Sumbawa.

Water safety is the main area where government to government cooperation will operate. This
area comprises the Jakarta coastal development program, the scaling up of the Jakarta coastal
development pilot to other areas in Northern Java, water security and catchment area
management, water purification and quality control, food security under circumstances of water
and land scarcity, capacity development and cooperation between Netherlands and Indonesian
knowledge institutes.

Regarding water, food and eco/river basin systems, the PPTA of the Indonesia Irrigation Sector
Project (IISP) is the leading program in 2013, co financed by ADB, improving land- and watermanagement on Java and Bali in such way this will contribute to higher yield level and more
efficient water use in agriculture through use of Dutch water and agricultural expertise.

The Bank financed Water Resources and Irrigation Sector Program (WISMP) supports the
Government in the implementation of its reform agenda providing more stakeholder participation
and accountability in the management of water resources and irrigation.
Regarding WASH the Bank finances the Urban Water Supply and Sanitation Project (UWSSP), which
assists three local governments and water utilities (PDAMs) to improve and expand coverage of water
supply services for more than 90,000 households. The Indonesia Sanitation Sector Development
Program (ISSDP), implemented in six pilot cities under the WSP, initiated the development of the
National Sanitation Acceleration Development Program. The Bank has financed the flagship Rural
Water and Sanitation Program (PAMSIMAS), by 2015, this program is expected to provide some 7
million rural Indonesians with piped water supply and some 3.4 million with improved on-site
sanitation.

Future opportunities
The following opportunities have been identified, but the intention is not to provide a comprehensive
overview.
2.3.2
Flood protection:
The Jakarta city administration plans to assess cooperation on the evaluation of flood management
master plan. Cooperation on flood management evaluation is necessary, because Jakarta needs more
downstream management rather than upstream. Cooperation may take place in the form of the
construction of giant sea wall in the northern coast of Jakarta. Moreover, knowledge transfer on
water management is also necessary.
Urban drinking water provision:
According to BAPPENAS there are two construction projects in process: the development of bulk
water supplies and raw water extraction infrastructure (Bandar Lampung Water Supply) and a bulk
water supply project in Umbalun Spring. In the future three large scale projects are planned: 1) the
Project number 2526
29
establishment of water supply infrastructure that spans the cities of Bekasi and Karawang (BOT
contract worth USD 189 million), 2) the provision of municipal water supply for the western part of
Semarang City (BOT contract worth USD 78 million) and 3) water supply to the southern part of Bali
19
(BOT contract worth USD 287 million) . Although the Dutch water sector does not have track record
on BOT contracts, such BOT contracts might offer opportunities for Dutch water technologies
through sub contracts covering roles such as technology provider or equipment supplier.
(Waste) Water Treatment ((W)WT)
Five large scale projects are expected to be planned and executed as well: 1) the construction of a
water treatment plant (WTP) for Karian Water Supply, Banten, 2) the construction of 2 WTPs for
Jatigede Water Supply, West Java, 3) construction of WTPs for Greater Pontianak Municipal Water
20
Supply, West Kalimantan, 4) construction of a wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) for DKI Jakarta .
Coastal zone management (IWRM):
Jakarta is planning the so-called National Capital Integrated Coastal Development project in
Jakarta's northern coastal areas. Phase A—the first phase of the project—which is contracted to the
Jakarta Public Works Agency and the Ministry of Public Works, has entered the feasibility study
phase. The eight-kilometer project will cost IRP 3.2 trillion, and the cost will be proportionally
divided between the central government and Jakarta's administration. The government plans to
establish a new state-owned enterprise that will be focused specifically on the development of the
project. The enterprise will involve the provincial government of Jakarta as one of the shareholders in
the giant sea wall project, and as the coordinator of the project.
Ministry of Agriculture will repair irrigation system for 3 million hectares of farm lands as part of the
program to improve the productivity of food crops. The project would be carried out by phases to be
completed in 2017. In 2015, repairs would cover irrigation system for 1 million hectares of farmlands.
View of the Dutch water sector
According to the Dutch sector players (companies and NGOs) the promising area in the Indonesian
market is IWRM, urban water management and the supply of drinking water treatment technology.
Additionally, companies specifically identify opportunities in water and industry and enhancing
water productivity in relation to food production and agriculture (as cross-overs).
Obviously PSOs identify PMCs related to drinking water supply and treatment as promising areas.
NGOs identify additional opportunities in the subsectors IWRM and drinking water supply and
treatment. NGO identified water and food (among others agriculture) as an important cross-overs,
PSOs tend to value water and ICT as a promising cross-over.
Specifically, the Dutch private sector identifies opportunities in the following niches: industrial
wastewater treatment, integrated approach toward coastal zone and flood protection (in combination
with IT modeling), and support to drinking water service providers in lowering the non revenue
water (as part of water operating partnerships).

Product-Market Combinations
Based on secondary market research and the outcome of the web survey, demand and potential
supply have been matched, and the following Product Market Combinations were identified as being
‘potential’.
Table 7 Product market Combinations
Most potential from demand and supply view

Market
Inadequate retention basins, the
under-sized drainage network,
increase in non-absorptive surfaces
and land subsidence has created the
conditions for prolonged and
extensive flooding during high
rainfall events. The main factors
driving the deterioration of urban
drainage problems are the lack of city
wide drainage design, and
assessment of individual projects on
the effect on drainage, increasing
subsidence, altering drainage
patterns, and discharge capacity, and
the lack of solid waste management.
Due to the high urbanization, the
demand for sanitation facilities and
waste water treatment (WWT) will
increase. Just as important the
management of sanitation services
and WWT plants has to improve.
Priority should be given to
enhancement of the institutional
strength, which is needed to generate
(and manage) the huge investments
needed.
Due to the large discrepancy between
the PDAM capacity and the projected
population demand (especially in
urban areas), PDAMs need to
improvement management. In many
of the PDAM, especially the ones in
the bigger cities, the reduction of
Non Revenue Water (NRW) becomes
a priority in the short term.

The local private sector as counterpart for the Dutch water sector becomes more and more important
(also refer to figure 11, section 3.1). For Dutch sector players (especially the SMEs), it is not always
easy to find entry points (for doing business) within the Indonesian public sectors.
Water engineering, IWRM: Flooding, coastal management and land reclamation
Opportunities in coastal management, flood prevention / management, and land reclamation will
present themselves on an ad hoc basis, while competition will be heavily influenced by financing
packages (regarding the development of infrastructure). There is significant Indonesian demand for
Dutch consultancy and knowledge regarding delta technologies. Specific PMCs are: ‘landscape
21
architecture’, ‘building with nature’, ‘efficient water catchment and intrusion’, ‘building on water’ ,
‘information as input for design and engineering’, and ‘decision support systems and flood
forecasting’.
Sanitation and Waste Water treatments: wastewater treatment technologies
Due to the increasing pollution of water (lack of waste water treatment, see above), ad stricter
enforcement, the heavy water using industries are increasingly willing to invest in technological and
sustainable solutions and high quality of Dutch market players: industrial services (equipment,
design and engineering).
At present municipal sanitation projects continue to take a back seat, with most projects taking the
form of small-scale community sanitation programs, funded by international donors, providing less
opportunity for Dutch water sector players. However, the potential large-scale water treatment plant
for Jakarta (worth USD 200 million) demonstrates that this tendency may change in the near future
22
as the population and economy continues to grow .
Based on the government investment program and the data on utility capital expenditure, Global
Water Intelligence calculated the market forecast below.

Jakarta and the Citarum basin are of particular interest for sanitation, wastewater treatment and
water quality management. Rural sanitation will maintain its focus on increasing access to sanitation
through traditional off site technologies (e.g. septic tanks), this PMC is of limited interest to Dutch
23
suppliers, however there is a strong need for technical assistance .
Drinking Water: Strengthening the capacity of PDAM
Especially from a development perspective, this PMC provides opportunities to create development
impact. This PMC is potentially interesting for Dutch knowledge institutes, NGOs and Dutch
24
drinking water providers (through Water Operating Partnerships (WOPs)). In short term, the
commercial opportunities for delivering drinking water technology will be limited due to limited
capacity at local government level. However, when this capacity improves, niche markets in drinking
water treatment (specific technologies like UV treatment), and quality monitoring systems might
become ‘potential’.
23
MASP 20174-2017 and GWI 2014

It should be noted, as evidence is lacking, the questions remains unanswered how and if WOPs will create opportunities for the Dutch
water technology sector, local water professionals are not convinced business opportunities will arise.

Market entry strategies
To convert market opportunities into business requires a plan: a market strategy. Strategic interviews
and results from the web survey, completed with desk research on existing market studies provided
valuable insight in different market (entry) strategies. The chapter starts by describing how Dutch
organizations cooperate with parties, projects and programs. The second section describes how
activities within the water sector are being financed. How Dutch organizations operate on the market
is part of section three. Section 4 describes lessons learnt, while section 5 describes the major
bottlenecks and drivers. The chapter ends by suggesting specific positioning strategies per potential
product market combination (PMCs).
3.1
Entering the country
After a thorough assessment of the market and the feasibility of the business case / project,
organizations have different ways to enter the country. Finding the right local partner and building
up a relationship by working together is the first step.
Figure 11 provides an indication of the status and intensity of the cooperation of Dutch parties with
various other parties in Indonesia, such as private sector/other companies, knowledge institutions
and government (bodies). Cooperation with private sector/other companies appears to be the most
intensive: 27% of the companies state that cooperation with these parties is (very) intensive.

A number of NGOs are involved in financing water supply and sanitation projects, mainly in
relation to poverty reduction in rural areas. These organizations include UNICEF, Canada-
Project number 2526

Care Indonesia, Simavi, Mercy Corps, Plan and the Red Cross.
The Indonesia Netherlands Association (INA) is a good entry point for Indonesia to get information
on how to do business in Indonesia. INA facilitates a special working group on water, this working
group consists of 35 INA member companies and is open for INA members/companies that operate
(or would like to operate) in the Indonesian water sector.
Indonesia has various state owned companies active in sectors like energy (Pertamina/PLN), port
development (Pelindo), real estate, construction, etc. The current government has given state-owned
companies in the water sector a strong role, and substantial budgets, to invest in infrastructure and
development. State owned companies are interesting partners to engage with, however these
companies are often bound by the same procurement regulations as the government.
3.2
Seeking finance
Finding appropriate financial means needed to start up the business (or project) is a critical success
factor when starting up. In this section most interesting financial sources have been analyzed and the
results from the web survey on how the Dutch water sector finances its activities in the various OS
countries have been published. Please refer to Appendix II for getting an overview of Dutch financial
instruments, applicable for the water sector.
Most Dutch sector players financed the past and current activities using full Dutch funding (43%), or
a mix of Dutch funds and foreign funds (27%), as can be seen in figure 12.

Looking at future opportunities, the perception of Dutch water sector players on the different type of
funds is quite divers. The combination of own means (36%), donor funding (12%) and government
subsidies (14%) are the main funding sources. The Dutch water sector is clearly looking for (a
combination of) different funding opportunities, which increases the complexity of getting a full
coverage of budgets.

Dutch supporting programs
Appendix II provides an overview of the most important Dutch programs providing (financial)
support. Besides these financial programs (often managed by RVO), the Dutch Embassy in Jakarta
provides financial support as well. The programs managed centrally by the Dutch Ministry of Foreign
Affairs (often managed by the IGG/DGIS) do not provide opportunities.

The Partners for Water (Partners voor Water: PVW, colored blue) program is the main instrument
used for financing water related activities. Second is the Nuffic program (colored light blue), EUR 1.5
million of this program finances the capacity development PUSDIKLAT in IWRM Education and
Training CDIET. Third is the DHK instrument (colored light blue), financing activities geared
towards water efficiency in the paper industry. Surprisingly the FDW (Sustainable Water facility)
instrument is not being used to finance PPP related activities.
Taking these three instruments as starting point for further analysis, the RVO instruments finance
mainly water engineering and IWRM activities. The NCICD project (Jakarta Flood Protection) is the
25
major project financed (sub sector water engineering) .

The OS funding support in projects like Master plan Protection and Development of Jakarta is very
positive to position Dutch expertise/companies in a potentially very interesting market. However
companies from countries with large funding programs for capital investments such as Japan, South
Korea or China, may benefit most from the large down-stream projects. It would be very beneficial
for Dutch companies if such funding could be matched by Dutch funding sources.

ADB has allocated USD 2.28 billion of ordinary capital resources for public sector lending to
Indonesia during 2014–2016. The non lending program is set at USD 39.45 million over the 2014–
2016 period. Project loans will continue to support urban water infrastructure, the ADB private
sector programs will continue to focus on urban water supply and sanitation.
The ADB finances programs related to climate resilience and sustainability to enhance freshwater,
marine, and forest resources management for improved food security (irrigation component), and
activities related to improved water and sanitation supply.

The World Bank is an important financier in Indonesia as well. World Bank commitments (in the
fiscal years including IBDR and IDA) ranged from USD 2.4 billion (2011), reaching a 4 year
maximum of USD 3.3 billion (2012), and slowing down to USD 1 billion (2015).
Regarding water the actual spending and future commitments are hard to capture as a
comprehensive overview was not made available to us. As an example the following is worth to
mention. Co financed by JICA (Japan), World Bank invest significant amounts in the irrigation
sector, the MRT project and WISMP-2 project count for USD 184 million. These funds are often
matched by GoI funding, however in a modest way.
The EIB is not a major player within the water sector in Indonesia. In the beginning of 2015 no water
related projects were part of the pipeline of projects to be financed. The only link to water is the
priority EIB has on the finance of activities linked to climate change, however the link is indirect and
the size of activities applicable to Indonesia is very small. The same counts for the EU cooperation
and development program.
Local Finance
After the financial crisis late 1990s, the Indonesian banking system has recovered well and is now
stable. The Financial Services Authority (OJK) has been established (or will be soon) which will have
the supervisory functions of the Central Bank and the function as watch dog. Despite oppositions of
such institution, it will probably bring continuity of the current banking system. The current banking
system allows foreign banks to have a 99% share in Indonesian banks. An increased demand for
3.2.3
26
reducing the %age to max 49% is currently visible .
The Indonesian banking sector is quite small (domestic credit amounts to around 50% of the GDP),
however the sector improved significantly over the last decade. State-owned banks account for only a
third of the total banking sector and the %age of non-performing loans has decreased over the last
couple of years to 6%. However, state-owned banks are still highly exposed to state-owned
enterprises (like PDAMs).
Both ING and Rabobank have branches in Indonesia. Rabobank International opened its office in
Indonesia in 1990. Rabobank has 90 branches in Indonesia, employing 1,510 FTE. Rabobank

of interest. Rabobank provides local banking services, local credit lines can be made available often
structured under a guarantee provided by the Rabobank branch in the Netherlands.
Dutch commercial finance
As an example, Rabobank is involved in financing the dredging, water engineering and construction
sector, and does provide export finance (often in combination with Atradius) to its clients. Looking at
the 12 Water OS countries, Rabobank mentions the dredging opportunities for Dutch Water sector as
a specific market of interest. Out of the strategic interviews, one company specifically mentioned the
Rabobank as a financier of its local activities in Indonesia.
3.2.4
Quote:
Local private clients often request for financing, to avoid high local interest rates. RABO is only
interested in projects above EUR 3-4 million of investment. Smaller projects are more difficult to be
financed. The Danish, Italian and German governments have better funding facilities for such smaller
projects.

Atradius activities regarding Indonesia are worth to mention as well. The export credit insurance
portfolio related to the Water OS countries (outstanding exposure February 2015) provides a

3.2.5
Project number 2526

The Indonesian government will soon release a five-year infrastructure improvement plan worth over
USD 400 billion aimed at stimulating economic growth. While fiscal reforms will help fund the
improvement plan, Indonesian President Joko "Jokowi" Widodo is in favor to centralize
authorization procedures to encourage private sector investment and speed up administration of the
projects. The National Development Planning Agency (BAPPENAS) is putting the final touches on
the budgets. The project outline will cover a broad array of works. Projects will include improving 24
27
ports as well as construction of roads and water treatment facilities .
3.3
Sector performance
After finding the right local partner and the appropriate financial means, Dutch organizations follow
different strategies to represent themselves in the country. NGOs prefer to work within one to one
partnerships and through a local representation or branch. The preferences of companies is quite
divers. Companies represent themselves in different ways. PPP is a less preferred option. (see figure
18).

Current strategies of Dutch parties in Indonesia
Following their clients, international expansion, and contributing to the development of a country are
the main drivers behind the strategies Dutch companies when entering and operating on the

Indonesian market. NGOs strategies are geared towards the formation of partnerships (‘one to one
partnerships’ is the most common option).
From the seventies of last century many Dutch water sector players set up a business in Indonesia
and often opened a local branch office, as a way to enter the market and further develop business.
However during the ’90-’00, many companies closed offices due to political issues between GoI and
the Government of the Netherlands (GON), decreasing GON funds for development programmes and
projects. Soon after, more strict European and National laws and regulations on transparency and
integrity had further downward effects on international operations of Dutch companies. Since the
dramatic events in Aceh/North Sumatra following the Tsunami in December 2003 relations have
tremendously improved, GON development budgets have been on the rise again and selected
companies are returning and expanding under rather prudent business approaches.
Learning from this experience, organizations on the average take an approach following 5 steps: 1)
find a launching client or project (through tendering), 2) project based presence through a project
office, 3) build up a portfolio of multiple projects, 4) open a REP office, and 5) establish a local
branch.
Knowledge institutes enter the market by establishing long term relationships with local knowledge
institutes first, and jointly acquire research of knowledge driven projects that focus on solving
complex issues by offering integrated solutions.
Quote:
Opportunities are generally found in niche markets and products for which local capacity is in short
supply. For new comers, access requires a combination of the following:

Expertise and products that are internationally competitive

Good and reliable local partners

Understanding of local market conditions

Good relationship with clients

Successes and lessons learned
Through desk research and web survey, a list of best practices and important lessons learnt were
identified and discussed during the strategic interviews with relevant Dutch water sector players. In
this section we elaborate on a limited overview of best practices and capture the lessons learnt.
National Capital Integrated Coastal Development (NCICD)
During this project a consortium of several Dutch water sector players developed a Master Plan for
the development of flood protection, land reclamation, sanitation, and road and port development in
the Jakarta region. In addition Dutch water experts drafted an operational plan for a Project
Management unit and a financing strategy. The implementation of this plan is subject to further
decision by the GoI and GoN. The consortium recommended the set up of a separate development
company to oversee the implementation.
Quote:
The most important success factors for the coastal protection project in Jakarta are:

Innovative power of the Dutch water sector

Collaboration of Dutch companies

Relations with the Indonesian authorities at the highest levels

Availability of seed money from the Dutch government (using the “Orange Card”)

Providing drinking water to the local communities
Two Dutch based companies provided the technology to treat drinking water. Company A provided
the equipment to the local public authority, supported by a local agent, company B set up its own
company in a joint venture with a trusted partner that sells bottled drinking water and supports the
set up of small water kiosks.
Company A initial intention was charity. The company initiated a project and the local agent was
hired to provide local support (networks). The local agent did not see any significant business
opportunity and worked as being assigned for a specific task, his commitment was modest. The
public authority involved lacked capacity to execute the tasks assigned (operating and maintaining
the equipment, drilling a well). Trying to succeed the company had to manage the project from a
distance, which was rather difficult and expensive.
Company B initial intention was to start a (social) business. The company raised a JV together with a
partner out of its own Dutch network. Both believed in the business opportunity. Finding the right
manager to run the operations was difficult; this hampered the operations in a severe way. At present
a manager is running the operations and the ‘water factory’ is operating according expectations. The
entrepreneurs invest part of the profit in supporting local entrepreneurs in setting up a small water
kiosk. After a promising start, the first entrepreneur left business as he had the opportunity to set up
an alternative business earning more money.
The central lesson learnt is the importance of a strong local partner or manager. To secure long term
commitment the business case (or benefits) to the local partner must be clear and attractive
compared to other alternatives.
Important learning from previous (market) research:

Good planning and follow up on a set of services/products: knowledge exchange -> institutional
development -> capacity building -> construction or products.

As cooperation and mutual strengthening are identified as important success factors, it is
recommended to implement any PMC as a group of partners, public and/or private. The most
appropriate and logical relationships between Dutch market players and the Indonesian
subsectors are in the fields of institutional development, capacity building and knowledge transfer
through training.

Learn from past and current projects, hook into existing initiatives.

Focus is identified as one of the success factors of current Dutch involvement in the water sector
of Indonesia. Effectiveness of Dutch water involvement in Indonesia greatly benefits from focus.
Demand and needs are endless, means and opportunities are limited.

Drivers and bottlenecks
This section describes the drivers and bottlenecks, entering (and operating on) the Indonesian
market (water sector). This section does not intend to provide an exhausted list, the section combines
insights from the web survey and secondary market research.
Ambitious and fast rising—these words aptly describe modern Indonesia. Amidst a global economic
slowdown, Indonesia was the third fastest growing economy among the G-20 for 2009 and it
continues to post strong economic growth, at a projected rate of 5.6% for 2016. This growth is an
important driver for many companies to become active in Indonesia. Besides, the Dutch have a long

45
tradition in ‘doing business’ in Indonesia, the Dutch governments has long term trade and aid
programs in place that support Dutch organizations in entering in and operating on the Indonesian
market. However when entering the market, organizations have to face challenges too.
Finding financial means and the right partners are the main challenges for companies to scale up
their activities. NGOs share the first challenge and add to this the lack of institutional funding for
program management and coordination. NGOs seem not to have any challenge in finding the right
partners to scale up their activities.

More specifically former market studies and respondents of the web survey mention:

Poor governance and capacity within the public water sector, current coordination between
different ministries is unsuccessful, there is a lack of a centralized body within GoI coordinating
all efforts on water.

Distribution of mandate, tasks and responsibilities between central and regional governments are
often not clear; this is partly caused by mechanisms of de-concentration rather than
decentralization (a method of central government to stay de facto in power at the regional level).

Various regional governments have not yet the capacity and capability to implement development
plans; development budgets are being stocked up in bank accounts at regional levels; regional
authorities evade risks of transparency and integrity issues causing several delays in economic
development.

Interpretation of Indonesian laws and regulations is complex, especially regarding rules for
participation in and the set up of legal entities, and the arrangement of working permits

Severe competition with respect to conventional solutions, approaches or products, leading to
competition on price and the selection of ‘cheap solutions’

The government procurement procedures especially at local levels, are still often in-transparent at
best and rigged in a number of cases, and usually focus on the lowest price

Strategies for each PMCs
Based on secondary market research and the outcome of the web survey, demand and potential
supply have been matched, and the following Product Market Combinations were identified as being
‘potential’. In addition to section 2.4, per PMC entry strategies are being suggested in combination
with finance and possible partners.
More in general the current government aims to give more opportunities to domestic companies and
develop domestic technical and managerial capabilities. Especially the large Indonesian companies
are placing more emphasis on quality and sustainability, and are more willing to pay higher prices.
Foreign companies should therefore consider forming partnerships with domestic companies, which
can then front offers to the government.
Opportunities exist in the supply of technologies, but more so in the offering of complete solutions, in
which a group of companies provides turnkey solutions and remains involved in the operations and
finance for a number of years : Dutch companies should consider forming such consortia. The same
applies for water management: a joint approach of Dutch companies offering integrated water
solutions to potential clients in Indonesia is more effective than individual approaches by companies
offering only a part of the solution.
The private sector as entry point for doing business becomes increasingly important for the Dutch
water sector. Not based on evidence but more on experience, Dutch water sector players do not
always find the right entry points at governmental level (public sector), this applies especially for
Dutch SMEs.

Drinking Water: Strengthening the capacity of PDAM
For Dutch water sector, the water operating partnership (WOP) is a common strategy to provide
support to local water provider services (including sanitation and waste water treatment). The WOP
contract describes the way a Dutch drinking water company provides capacity building geared toward
improving the operations of the local water service provider. An efficient and effective operation
improves access to additional financial means. Combined with the showcase of Dutch innovative
technologies and solutions, this might open up windows of business opportunities.
Vitens Evides International is the leading provider of WOP support, this organization finances its
activities by investing own means (% of collected water fees) in combination with ADB funding
(10%), EIB (10%), EU grants (20%), Dutch ODA (SWF, EKN programs and ORIO: 40%).
The backbone of the WOP is a strategic alliance between the Dutch drinking water company, the local
water service provider and additional NGOs providing support to the program.
Knowledge Institutes providing support to the exchange of knowledge could be an interesting
alternative approach. Most of these contracts are won as tenders.
Quote:
The positioning strategy of our knowledge institute is built upon the following elements:

Long term relationships with local knowledge institutes

Jointly develop and acquire projects in the public and private sector markets

Focus on complex problems, requiring an integrated approach

Opportunistic approach to good opportunities with limited risks

The change to free and open source use of software

Use of alumni networks

Independent status is recognized by clients as an important asset

Water engineering, IWRM: Flooding, coastal management and land reclamation
A proven way to position for an integrated delta approach is to support the writing of a Master Plan.
The aim of supporting a Master Plan is to bring in and showcase Dutch expertise and to create a
strategic advisory position for The Netherlands. The positioning instrument used here is capacity
building (TA support). The advantage of continuing this TA support is the less funding needed and as
a result the reduced risk, the disadvantage is the lack of commitment from GoI and lesser control on
future execution. An alternative would be to offer a program management and support package
structured as a PPP, or structured by the set up of a contracting authority / development company.
Quote:
In the coastal protection project in Jakarta, Dutch companies are currently very well positioned. This
early involvement is positive to be prepared for the significant future investments, however in the
follow up phase strong competition is expected from countries with richer loan programs such as
Japan.

A strategic partnership with a country having funds (but not the expertise needed) could mobilize
large amounts of (concessional) finance. Investments from the Dutch site will be needed to trigger
these funds and to c0-finance Dutch involvement during the different stages of the project (master

In parallel Dutch efforts should be focused on getting strong buy in by the GoI .

Sanitation and Waste (Water) Treatment: UDSP project on sanitation
Sanitation in Indonesia comprises three elements: drainage, fecal sludge management and solid
waste management. In 2011 GoI ambition to realize 100% sanitation coverage in 2019 became part
of a fast track program. EKN decided to support this ambition through the Urban Sanitation
Development Project (USDP). The support of USDP focused on capacity building (training and
methodology design) and was let by DHV, the project formally ended in 2014. Based on an evaluation
of USDP EKN considers continuing the support (USDP2).
Although a final decision has not been made yet, USDP2 is intended to comprise two work streams:
1) TA support (continuation USDP1, financed by ODA), and 2) involvement of the Dutch water sector.
Regarding the second track the evaluators of the program identified two PMCs: 1) solid waste
management (niche: composting and plastic recycling), and 2) faecal sludge management (niche:
innovative treatment techniques, business development support to local informal waste collectors).
Public sector dominates both PMCs. Only in waste collection, informal private sector plays a role.
Still donor driven programs exist, especially let by Germany (ODA) and ADB (concessional loans).
The contracting parties (direct clients) are the local ministries of public works and local planning,
USDP1 (and probably 2) will cover 500 cities and municipalities for planning and programming
stages; the USDP evaluators have identified a list of 10 frontrunners for implementation works.
The strategy for Dutch water sector for positioning would be to set up a demonstration platform and
center of expertise for innovations. Although a platform should be set up separately, such a platform
would ideally link to a water operating partnership. Dutch sector players should be willing to cofinance the demonstration of their product, which must fit within the plans of the local authorities.
Waste Water treatment: the B2B procurement model
The B2B model is the best route for companies to enter the Indonesian Water PPP market, this model
is a form of direct negotiation between a PDAM and a private party for a project.B2B models are not
labeled as public procurement and do not need to follow the procurement procedures. In order to
participate a company needs to raise a legal entity, rep office or project office, or a subsidiary.
The process starts with a PDAM identifying a need for extended water treatment capacity not covered
within the master investment plan. Finding out about these upcoming projects requires significant
efforts, companies that are already established and known for other projects have a clear advantage.
After assessing the PDAMs needs, the company proposes the project and conducts a feasibility study.

When positive the company and PDAM enter into negotiations .
IWRM and water engineering: the unsolicited PPP procurement model
According to the NWP Market Scan (Witteveen + Bos, 2010), as the government of Indonesia is
attempting to promote PPP programs, this is the preferred business form for market. Companies can
prepare unsolicited projects and offer them to the government. The projects technical feasible to
integrate in the master plan, economically and technically feasible, and do not require financial
government support (GWI 2014).The procurement of such projects follows the so called ‘Swiss
Approach’. Other competitors are invited to improve the original bid. The initiator is often entitled to

Appendix I:
Methodology
The Water OS positioning survey is part of the Water OS program: a facility of the Ministry of
Foreign Affairs. The Water OS program aims at providing support to the Dutch Embassies in 12
partner countries in the formulation and implementation of their water programs. Central element of
the program is the involvement of the Dutch water sector, i.e. companies, NGOs, knowledge
institutes and governmental organizations.
In order to generate more evidence for effective continuation of the Water OS Program and to
‘trigger’ Dutch water sector players, RVO contracted Aidenvironment, in collaboration with Panteia,
Chris Engelsman and Jan Oomen, to conduct a “Positioning Survey”. This survey identifies
opportunities, strategies and approaches for the Dutch water sector, and more specifically seeks high
potential Product/Market Combinations (PMCs) in the 12 Water OS countries included in the Survey.
The final deliverables of the survey are twelve positioning survey reports (one for each country) and
one overarching management summary. Primary target group for the Positioning Survey Reports are
the Technical Experts (TDs) at the Netherlands Embassies in the 12 OS countries, with all Dutch
water sector players as secondary target group.
The methodology comprises desk research, a web survey and additional strategic interviews:
 The desk research studied the most essential reports and documents per country (market scans,
market reports, strategic papers of Embassies and International Financial Institutions). The Key
Advisors within the Water OS program played an important role in rendering accessible and
prioritizing the data available.
 In the period November 2014 – January 2015, Panteia carried out a web survey. Two different
questionnaires have been applied, one for companies, knowledge institutions and water boards,
and another questionnaire for NGOs. Despite the length of the survey and thanks to a considerable
effort of the project team and NWP, the response rates were not disappointing and for a web survey
in general above average: NGOs: 16 out of 48 implying a response rate of 33,3%, and companies
(including knowledge institutions and water boards): 87 out of 531 implying a response rate of
16,4%.
 Based on the outcomes of the desk study and web survey, Aidenvironment selected 27 companies, 3
(semi) commercial financiers, 7 NGOs, and 8 knowledge institutes (including Water Boards
(‘waterschappen’) and water service providers) to be interviewed on strategic topics focusing on
market opportunities and applicable market entry strategies (and business models). Through these
strategic interviews, the research team gained more detailed information on projects of front
runners. These projects gave more information on lessons learned, success factors, and
opportunities for up scaling.
Regarding the web survey, two important remarks can be made:
Value and limitation of the survey results
The web survey results have provided very useful data for this study. The value of the results
especially lies in the provision of relative figures on various aspects enabling comparisons between
countries, opportunities, bottlenecks, groups or respondents, etc. and to monitor the developments in
these figures over time. The limitation of the study lies in the inability to provide reliable absolute
figures on for instance turnover values.
OS-study versus WEX
For the web survey a similar methodology has been applied as is done for the WEX (Water Export
Index) – study, which is carried out twice a year. A sample of companies and institutions is asked to
provide data on national and export turnover in the water sector and the division of this turnover
over regions and over subsectors. The samples do not have the same composition. Also over time the
Project number 2526
53
samples may differ in the WEX, but never provide a bottleneck though to assess the WEX and to
make reliable comparisons over time. Like in the WEX, the estimation of the export turnover is based
on the sample results of a survey. Starting from this value relative export shares of the various
regions and countries have been determined for the sample. Since the sample may not represent the
whole water sector in an optimal way, we cannot draw any hard or general conclusions about the
export turnover figure and division of this figure over subsectors, regions and countries. The real
value will be higher, but this value can only be obtained with sample results once the whole
population is known. Getting to know the population is difficult and cannot be realized in the context
of this study nor in the WEX-study. Another complicating factor for generalizing study results lies in
the fact that large projects (especially those in water construction) may influence total and regional
export figures drastically and lead to large fluctuations over time. For the sample of the web survey
no such ‘disturbing’ projects have been found. The sample results of the OS-study regarding relative
export shares of regions are in line with the results of the WEX 2014.
The average budget per country positioning report is EUR 7,000. Therefore, the positioning survey
cannot be seen as a fully fledged market research. An in-depth assessment of the markets (the OS
Water countries) was not part of this research, instead the research relied on secondary information
(reports available) and expert opinions (Key Advisors Water OS program, TD staff on Embassies,
YEP network, and a network of ‘water professionals’).
An important disadvantage of the web survey – in contrast with a telephone survey for which a
stratified sample has been selected - is that the characteristics of the total population are unknown.
By lack of a stratified sample, the outcome of the web survey does not offer the opportunity to level
up the sample results to the total population and to calculate absolute figures for turnover and export
volumes for each subsector and region. Despite this limitation of the web survey, it does provide very
useful information for the positioning studies.
Additionally to the country specific positioning reports, a management summary was drafted. The
management summary elaborates on the overall findings and provides overall conclusions.

Appendix II: Finance
The Dutch Government is able to support activities performed by the water sector in developing
countries (in this case the 12 Water OS countries) in different ways. On a strategic level, financial
support can be labeled as:



Bilateral support (country to country)
Multilateral support (to different countries often funneled through International Financial
Institutes or UN related organizations)
Specific instruments (e.g. managed by RVO or commercial organizations like Atradius and FMO)
The financial support from Dutch Government related to the 12 Water OS countries aims to combine
trade and aid perspectives. The policy focuses on three key points: 1) improved management of water
catchments and safe deltas, 2) efficient use of water, especially in the agriculture sector, and 3)
improved access to clean drinking water and sanitation.
This appendix provides an overview of the support provided on different strategic levels: bilateral,
multilateral and specific instruments. The content is structured following the most important
organizations involved in funneling these funds starting with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, The
Dutch Embassies, RVO, Dutch (Semi) Commercial Players, and the most relevant International
Finance Institutes. At the end, the appendix provides a non exhausted list of foundations financing
water related projects and activities.
Centralized programs managed by IGG/Water DGIS/Ministry of Foreign Affairs
DGIS (within the Ministry of Foreign Affairs) focuses on the Dutch international cooperation with
partnering countries. The cooperation involving the water sector is mandate of the section water
within the department of DME (future: IGG (Inclusive Green Growth)). This section manages the
water related portfolio of programs providing regional and multilateral support. The funding is often
labeled and does not provide direct opportunities for the Dutch water sector.
Decentralized programs managed by Embassies:
The Multi Annual Strategic Plans (MASP) is the nucleus of Dutch bilateral support to a country.
Projects, programs or businesses being part of the Embassies’ program to implement the MASP fit
into the country specific strategy and are aligned with the overall water policy of Dutch government.
The funding of Dutch Embassies provides opportunities for the Dutch water sector.
Specific Instruments: RVO
RVO has developed different type of instruments depending on the phase the
project/program/business is in, starting at the development of an idea, testing the concept in a pilot,
scaling up the pilot to significant size to start building a business or self financing project on. We
follow this structure when presenting the different instruments.
To finance the development of an idea, innovation or RandD:
VIA water:
This is a relatively small fund (EUR 10 million over 4 years) to finance out of the box ideas and smallscale innovations using grants. Aqua for all manages the fund, which started operating in 2015.
Maximum size of the grant is EUR 200,000 per project.
Project number 2526
55
To finance a pilot:
Partners for Water:
This is a funding program (grants) financed by different Ministries runs from 2010 till 2014. After
2015 the program will continue following the same strategy. In 2015 the facility is not open for new
application. The program financed 80 projects of which 50 included a pilot. The average subsidy size
was EUR 200,000 financing 20-80% of the budget. The new program will start with a total budget of
EUR 10.5 million.
DHK:
This instrument provides grants and aims to finance demonstration pilots, feasibility studies and
acquiring of knowledge. The program has a specific EUR 3 million window for DGGF countries of
which EUR 1 million is allocated to the least developed countries. This facility is specifically
applicable for projects in fragile states.
DRR:
DRR finances the Dutch Risk Reduction Team, a database of Dutch Water Experts that are available
for solving water related issues with respect to disasters. DRR is not a facility financing disaster
response or aid, though DRR provides knowledge that can be used to e.g. avoid disasters. RVO in
close cooperation with NWP manages the facility.
To finance the scale up of activities or pilots:
ORIO / DRIVE:
ORIO was cancelled in 2014. ORIO used to be a grant facility financing investments related to the
development, implementation and operation of infrastructure in developing countries. Governments
of these countries submit the applications and the private sector is involved in the development and
execution of projects.
DRIVE is the successor of the ORIO program and provides concessional loans to governments of
developing countries to develop, construct and operate infrastructure. DRIVE will be launched in
April 2015 and has an available budget of EUR 100.000.000 annually expecting to finance 10-15
projects. The facility aims to actively involve the Dutch Water sector and contribute to development
of the receiving country.
G4AW:
G4AW stands for Geodata for Agriculture and Water and finances projects, programs and businesses
aiming to improve food security in developing countries by using satellite data. Netherlands Space
Office (NSO) is executing this program, commissioned by the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs. In
2014-2015 the facility has EUR 30.5 million available to provide grants (EUR 0.5-5.0 million)
financing up to 70% budgets. Proposals and partnerships should be based on a business plan geared
towards satellite data at the start of the information chain.
FDW/FDOV and GWW:
RVO developed three facilities to finance Public Private Partnerships (PPP) in the water (and
agriculture) sector. These facilities aim to: 1) increase access to drinking water and sanitation, 2)
enhance efficient and sustainable water use (especially in the agriculture sector), 3) improve
management of catchment areas and safe deltas, and 4) (specifically for FDOV) improve food security
and private sector development. GWW (Ghana Wash Window) is a specific window financing water
related PPPs in Ghana.
Project number 2526
56
The three facilities are in place since 2012, in 2014 FDW and FDOV launched and closed its second
call, the GWW second call for proposals closes in February 2015. The facilities are planning the third
call to be executed in 2016. Because the facilities just started operating, (impact) results have not
been reported yet.
The facilities provide grants and have different modalities. The facilities received many applications
and resulted into the finance of new initiatives. The application process is being perceived by a
significant group of applicants as complex, and requires a clear business case, or theory of change
aiming to enhance the enabling environment as part of the proposal, plus a significant contribution
by the private sector. The facilities are especially applicable for large applications fitting into
investment agenda’s or strategic objectives of the private sector players involved.
DGGF:
The Dutch Good Growth Fund started operations in mid 2014 and aims to combine aid and trade
goals. DGGF is a revolving fund, providing finance (not grants) to initiatives with a ‘healthy risk
profile’. DGGF focuses on 66 countries (called the DGGF countries), including the Water OS
countries. DGGF is build on three pillars: 1) a fund financing activities of Dutch SMEs in DGGF
countries (managed by RVO), 2) a fund financing local SMEs and banks in DGGF countries
(managed by PWC and Tripple Jump), and 3) a fund financing export credit insurance and export
finance activities (managed by Atradius).
In Pillar 1, RVO works closely together with Dutch banks. The fund is equipped to provide guarantees
to banks up till 60% of the credit risk, loans to banks and investment funds (equity). The maximum is
EUR 10 million per project or business. A TA facility will be in place to provide assistance on
improvement of the business plan or investment proposal.
Pillar 2 is under construction; this pillar will provide fund to fund investments up to EUR 175,000.
Pillar 3 provides export credit insurances covering non-market risks up till a maximum claim amount
of EUR 15 million. Besides insurances, this fund provides export finance instruments. Products focus
on Dutch SMEs needs, covering small and large transactions.
Besides these above mentioned programs and facilities, the following instruments can
be useful and applicable for financing water related activities.
PSI:
PSI was grant program available for non-Dutch and Dutch companies wishing to make an innovative
investment, in cooperation with a local partner in one of the PSI countries. This program stopped
operating mid 2014.
MMF:
MMF is a match making program, aiming to establish a long term business relationship between a
Dutch entrepreneur and an entrepreneur from a developing country.
OS Partner Countries:
This program finances the projects, managed by the local Dutch Embassies. These projects fit into the
Multi Annual Strategic Plans of the specific Embassies.
TDs / economic diplomacy:
Project number 2526
57
This program finances the so called thematic experts working at the Dutch Embassies in a limited
number of OS Partner Countries.
TMEA:
Managed by DDE / DGIS, this large program focuses on the East African region financing initiatives
contributing to the enhancement of trade relations within the region. The facility is applicable for
financing initiatives linked to port development.
Water Mondiaal:
Water Mondiaal is a program launched by the Dutch government to cooperate actively with countries
in low-lying delta areas, protecting them against floods and ensuring sufficient, clean water. Partners
for Water is managing this program, the program aims creating long lasting cooperation agreements
between the public and private sector , and civil society and knowledge institutes. Water Mondiaal
focuses on five deltas: Egypt, Bangladesh, Indonesia, Mozambique and Vietnam.
(Semi) Commercial Organizations managing funds on behalf of Dutch Government
The following facilities or organizations are in some way closely linked to RVO or the Ministry of
Foreign Affairs.
Atradius:
Atradius offers a comprehensive range of credit management solutions that protect businesses of all
sizes against the commercial and political risks inherent in domestic and global trade. Atradius
provides credit insurance, debt collection services, bonding, reinsurance and a range of special
products.
Atradius Dutch State Business performs different facilities on behalf of and for account of the Dutch
State. There is no direct link with the RVO organization, though Atradius products can be combined
with RVO instruments (e.g. ORIO/DRIVE).
Atradius does not specifically focus on the water sector. However dredging, waste management, port
development and the maritime sector are important sectors from a business perspective. Atradius is
not actively involved in all Water OS countries; the table below provides an overview of the
outstanding volumes of credit insurance products per January 2014.

Atradius manages the third pillar of DGGF. In the first six months Atradius received 7-8 requests,
one of these came from the maritime sector. The DGGF facility provides support on smaller
transactions; therefore this product is applicable for Dutch small and medium enterprises.
FMO:
FMO manages three funds relevant for the Dutch water sector.
FOM-OS
The first pillar of the DGGF program will replace this fund. The fund offered loans to private sector
players investing in non (commercially) bankable projects or businesses in developing countries.
Innovative Finance Fund for Development
This fund aims to catalyze private sector investments.
IDF
IDF stands for Infrastructure Development Fund. The IDF is aimed at creating reliable infrastructure
in many sectors, ranging from potable water and mobile telecommunication services to roads and
power. By providing risk capital through the IDF, FMO takes on definite risk while acting as a
gateway for other financers.
IDF offers finance through equity, mezzanine and debt products that can be used even in early stage
of projects. The fund has the following fund limits:
 Individual transaction amounts maximized at EUR 25 million
 Financing about 25% of total project investment
 Shareholding maximum 25%
 Maximum tenor of 20 years
 Convertible contributions are selectively available for financing during the development phase of
projects (up to 49% of total development cost)
About 8% of the portfolio is allocated to water related projects (mainly water related to energy:
dams). IDF hardly finances projects in other sub sectors of the water sector, this is due to: 1) the
limited willingness to pay (drinking water), 2) the strong involvement of a weak public sector, 3) the
limited role of the private sector, 4) the lack of involvement by Dutch water sector as a strategic
operator or investor.
Within the FMO organization the department NL Business manages the IDF fund and provides
(financial) transaction advisory support to Dutch businesses aiming to become active in developing
markets. NL business brings in the financial perspective when Dutch businesses want to develop a
consortium. Regarding consortium development within the Dutch water sector, port development,
dredging and waste (water) treatment are potential sectors. Thinking along the lines of so called
corridor concepts (infrastructure connection points like transfer utilities) seems to be a promising
market entry point.
EP - Nuffic:
EP-Nuffic is the main expertise and service centre for internationalization in Dutch education, from
primary and secondary education to higher professional and academic higher education and
research. EP – Nuffic runs several programs, the NICHE program is relevant for the water sector.
The Netherlands Initiative for Capacity development in Higher Education (NICHE) is a Netherlandsfunded development cooperation program. By sustainably strengthening higher education and
Project number 2526
59
technical and vocation education and training (TVET) capacity in partner countries, it contributes to
economic development and poverty reduction. The program focuses on four policy priorities: 1)
Water, 2) Food security, 3) Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) and 4) Security and
the rule of Law.
Dutch Commercial Banks:
Looking at the global networks of the larger Dutch international operating banks (ABN AMRO, Rabo
bank and ING), the Rabobank has the most visible overall presence in the 12 Water OS. In the
strategic interviews, this bank was the only commercial bank mentioned a couple of times as being
active in the international water sector.
The water sector is not a specific priority sector for Rabobank. From an international perspective
Rabobank focuses on the agriculture sector. However Rabobank is involved in financing the Dutch
water sector in The Netherlands. From this perspective, Rabobank ‘follows its clients abroad’
(especially the dredging and water engineering sector plus larger consultancies are being mentioned).
Rabobank has branches in Kenya and Indonesia, participations in Rwanda and Mozambique and
operates in partnership with e.g. Standard Charter Bank in Mali, Ghana, and Bangladesh.
Export finance, guarantees and currency risk management are the most common services/products
offered to international operating clients.
International Financial Institutes (IFIs):
The so-called multilateral aid program of governments is being managed by IFIs like the Worldbank,
ADB, AfDB and EU (EU grant program and EIB). The following IFIs play an important role financing
water sector related projects, programs and businesses.
World Bank (WB):
In 2014 WB announced reorganization. The new structure has five relevant departments focusing on
water: GP14 Water, GP1 Agriculture, GP3 Energy and Extractives, GP 4 Environment and Natural
Resources, GP12 Transport and ICT, and GP13 Urban and Rural Social Development.GP14 Water
department integrates WASH, irrigation, and Water Resource Management. One global staff pool is
in place to partner with outside organizations. More weight is put on knowledge into operations. WB
offers loans to developing countries, projects have to fit the multiyear WB strategy, and the fund
receiving countries lead the tender procedure. About 20% of the annual budget is allocated to water
projects of which 53% WASH, 13% irrigation, 24% water and energy, and 10% flood protection and
delta technology.
The Asian Development Bank:
Programs of ADB are complementary to other donors and have the starting point to promote
inclusive water policies (including the poor). Focus on mainstreaming water efficiency in supply and
use and enhanced cooperation with the private sector. From 2010-2020 the budget is USD 20-25
billion.
The African Development Bank (AfDB):
Looking at the AfDB strategy 2013-2022 paper, the 10 year focus will be on inclusive growth and
green growth. The bank identifies five operational priorities: 1) infrastructure development, 2)
private sector development, 3) governance and accountability, 4) regional economic integration, and
5) skills and technology. In implementing its ten-year Strategy, the Bank will pay particular attention
to fragile states, agriculture and food security, and gender. Supporting the water sector is specifically
part of the agenda on infrastructure and agriculture and food security.

In view of its important contribution to the achievement of all the MDG goals and therefore its
unique contribution to poverty reduction on the continent, the water sector has received major
attention as a strategic priority of the Bank. Since 2000, following the adoption of its Integrated
Water Resources Management (IWRM) Policy, the Bank has increased its focus on the water sector,
especially on drinking water, sanitation and hygiene, and the promotion of integrated management
of water resources.
The African Water Facility is an interesting facility that can be used to finance WASH related
activities.
The EU:
These funds are the main source of EU development aid for the African, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP)
countries and the overseas territories (3% of the annual EU budget in 2008-13). The funds are
connected to the Cotonou Treaty. The European Investment Bank invests significant amounts in the
water sector. The grant programs do not have a specific focus on water related projects, the EU Water
Facility, one of the grant programs focusing specifically on water will be cancelled.
Foundations:
Especially for development related activities within the water sector, foundations provide interesting
opportunities to finances projects and programs. Below an unexhausted list of foundations provides a
first entry point to seek for funds. As each foundation has its own finance policy, we refer to the
individual websites for more information.

Appendix III: Elaborated outcomes of web survey
The Comext database of Eurostat includes trade statistics for a limited number of water sector related
products. Table 1 demonstrated the development of the exports of these products for EU-28 in total
and for some EU-countries during the 2010-2013 period. The Dutch share in total EU-28 exports to
Asia is only 2% on average , far lower than the share of Germany (53%) and also lower than the share
of France (11%).
