BALI — The 10th World Water Forum (WWF) in Bali Produced 113 projects worth up to 9.4 billion USD.
Minister of PUPR, Basuki Hadimuljono explained that in the world water forum which took place in Indonesia, several projects were drawn up.
No half-hearted, there are even 113 water projects with a value of up to 9.4 billion USD.
With these many projects, Minister Basuki said that all of them would bring benefits to the world community.
“There are 113 projects worth 9.4 billion US dollars. These various projects will be very beneficial for people in various countries. “So not only for Indonesia, but for the whole world,” he said.
For information, the project consists of accelerating the provision of drinking water for 3 million households.
Not only that, but there is also domestic waste water management for as many as 300 thousand households.
Another achievement that WWF managed to record this 10th time was that it was the first time that a ministerial declaration was ratified.
“The implementation of the World Water Forum is truly a diplomatic victory for Indonesia, because this is the first time a ministerial declaration has been ratified,” said Basuki.
Furthermore, the PUPR Minister explained that in the ministerial declaration, Indonesia continues to encourage 3 things.
The first is regarding the establishment of a center of excellence to encourage water and climate security for capacity development.
Then Indonesia also encourages sharing of experiences and knowledge from various countries in the world.
Apart from that, as the host of the 10th WWF, this nation continues to strive for the use of superior facilities.
According to Minister Basuki, as one of the archipelagic countries, Indonesia clearly has to be at the forefront of seeking innovation in water and sanitation management.
“This center of excellence is not only for Indonesian citizens, Indonesian engineers, but also for South-South countries or perhaps Asia Pacific,” he said.
The next priority that Indonesia is pushing is related to the issue of integrated water resources management, especially for small islands.
