The objective of the Output-Based Aid (OBA) for Improved Access to Water Services in Jakarta Project for Indonesia is to increase piped-water access for poor households in Jakarta in a sustainable manner through incumbent international operators. There are three components to the project. The first component of the project is types of services to be subsidized. Two types of service will be offered to the selected communities. Type one: connection (individual household connections). This is a standard metered household connection with an underground connection pipe rising from the ferrule (stop-tap). Type two: connection. This type of connection was developed for high density, very low income areas in which most houses do not hold a title to the land on which the house is built that is, for illegal settlements. Each household will have a meter and underground service pipe connection. The second component of the project is community selection. An important feature of the project is that it is targeted at small pockets of households/communities that are located within larger areas that are already served. Jakarta is affected by raw water shortages, which limit the concessionaire's ability to extend the network into some currently un-served areas, particularly in the northern part of the city. The third component of the project is subsidy mechanism. The subsidy for type one and type two connections will be paid on a 'per installed new connection' basis. This means that an assumption needs to be made at the outset on the number of connections that will be installed. This number can be defined as the number of households that, based on the survey, indicated their willingness to connect if and when services were offered to them.
