New Research in Water and Sanitation in Indonesia

The January 2016 Prakarsa is devoted to “New Research in Water and Sanitation” as a result of IndII's Australia-Indonesia Infrastructure Research Awards (AIIRA) scheme. Each award involves a partnership between an Indonesian university or research institution and an international partner to identify practical solutions to some of the challenges facing infrastructure development in Indonesia. This January edition shares findings and recommendation from six AIIRA partnerships. Some provide specific models to support water and sanitation (watsan) governance; others highlight lessons from case studies to improve watsan governance; and one presents a multidisciplinary approach to research to manage water resources in irrigation areas
