An independent team appointed by AusAID has prepared this project evaluation report for the Nusa Tenggara Barat – Environmental Sanitation and Water Supply Project (NTB- ESWS).

The NTB was undertaken jointly by the Governments of Australia and Indonesia in the period 1991-1996, within the framework of Australia’s international development co- operation program managed by AusAID.

Total project expenditure was A$39.048 million, of which Australia provided A$25.587 million (66% of total).

The project aimed to contribute to improved socio-economic and environmental health conditions in NTB, by providing environmental sanitation and water supply facilities focusing on both community and institutionally managed components.

The evaluation team found that there were major achievements in the community managed component of the project, with an estimated 232,000 water supply beneficiaries (dug wells and small piped systems) and some 463,000 sanitation beneficiaries (mainly household toilets).

The assessment of the evaluation team is that, taking into account the mix of activities, the performance of the project was satisfactory overall and there were significant achievements made towards improving socio-economic and environmental health conditions in NTB.
