Indah Water of Malaysia Assists Medan, Indonesia on Sanitation Promotion

As part of their WaterLinks twinning partnership, five staff members from the Medan water utility and Medan’s Sanitation Working Group visited Indah Water Konsortium’s (IWK) headquarters in Kuala Lumpur on February 3-5, 2009 to participate in a sanitation promotion and planning workshop. During the visit, IWK reviewed Medan’s sanitation master plan, demonstrated IWK’s sanitation public awareness program, and the two partners jointly prepared an initial sanitation promotion plan for Medan using the 10-step Water and Sanitation Promotion Toolkit developed by USAID’s Environmental-Cooperation Asia (ECO-Asia) program. Medan and the Sanitation Working Group will return to Medan and further develop the sanitation promotion campaign before a formal launching in April, 2009. USAID supports WaterLinks through its ECO-Asia program.
