Socially-inclusive Responses to Climate Change Impacts on WASH (Indonesia)

The Institute for Sustainable Futures at the University of Technology Sydney (ISF-UTS) is partnering with civil society organisations (CSOs) Plan International in Indonesia (YPII), Plan International Australia (PIA), WaterAid Timor-Leste and WaterAid Australia to conduct research to inform how the CSOs address the impacts of climate change on their Water for Women projects.

The research project draws from a range of climate change adaptation, water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) and gender and social inclusion concepts and on recent research approaches for assessing climate change.

This case study is based on applied research carried out in August 2019 by ISF-UTS and YPII in Manggarai district, Flores Island, Indonesia. Manggarai is one of the two regions where YPII is working to deliver the WASH and Beyond –Transforming Lives in Eastern Indonesia project to improve the health, gender equality and wellbeing of Indonesian communities through inclusive and sustainable WASH.
