Results of SAPPD Global Studio have reached a new level of implementation on the ground by  receiving financial support from West Java Provincial Government via Competitive Grant Schemes, conducted in 2023. The grant was led by Dr Ninik Suhartini and Prof Heru Purboyo, academics of SAPPD ITB and involving alumni of the studio in its organization.  The project includes three main parts including: developing basic infrastructure for water and sanitation at a communal level, community empowerment in planning, monitoring and evaluation of the built infrastructure, developing a mobile app to map and organize infrastructure database and planning at a community level as well as increasing multistakeholder involvement in improving quality of life in informal settlements and achieving SDG 11.

The project comprises 4 sub-projects as follows

1. Community Water System Infrastructure Development
2. Community Wastewater System Infrastructure Development
3. Infrastructure Community Based Monitoring Application Development
4. Community Based Empowerment for Sustainable Infrastructure

All activities carried out starting from contractor orientation in the field were carried out to update the work location of the clean water infrastructure project as many as 12 units spread across 10 locations with a community target of 96 families in RW 5 and RW 6 Lemahwungkuk Village, Cirebon City. Construction activities will be carried out on October 24, 2023, this activity is very important to do of course in improving basic infrastructure needs, especially clean water for the people of RW 5 and RW 6 Kelurahan Lemahwungkuk, creating jobs for the local community which of course can improve connectivity and community mobility and stimulate economic growth. The supervisor, the contractor (PT. Arkanindo) and the active participation of the local government with the involvement of the community as Human Resources (HR) are key in the development process. Monitoring of the development process, which included well drilling, pipe installation, material procurement, construction, and training for the community, was conducted as a necessary activity. Especially training activities related to clean water that are attended by stakeholders help increase the understanding and insight of the community, especially the beneficiaries.

The MISTAR (Smart Infrastructure Community) application is motivated by the difficulty of obtaining data from an area, especially informal areas related to the availability and condition of existing infrastructure in the area. The MISTAR application is expected to be an android-based infrastructure governance mobile application that can be operated easily to support the continuous availability of data that can be updated based on community participation. This application can be used for data collecting or monitoring and evaluation of infrastructure use in an area, so that it can help stakeholders in managing infrastructure in a sustainable manner.

We believe that to achieve Sustainable Development we need to empower the capability of the community. Therefore, the program also triggered and empowered the people living in Lemahwungkuk District with giving a comprehensive training and hold on the ‘gotong royong’ principle (Indonesia’s terms meaning working together to achieve a communal goals). The training programs categorized into 4 groups clean water system infrastructure development training (2 days), wastewater infrastructure development training (2 days), using infrastructure monitoring application training (2 days), and participatory planning for self-governance training (6 days and 3 days accompaniment).

Then, the training for clean water and wastewater infrastructure held on 4^th and 5^th November 2023. The speakers on this event are Ms. Vivi Asmara (Topic: Sustainable Clean Water and Domestic Wastewater Infrastructure), Mr. Maman Suryaman (Topic: Community Financing for Clean Water and Wastewater Infrastructure), and Mr. Firdaus (Topic: Best Practice in Cirebon City). The leader of the district (Lurah and Camat) also came to welcome the participants. The total of participants of this training reaching 70 people (40 persons as the participants of clean water training and 30 persons as the participants of the wastewater training). After having lectures from the speaker participants had chance to try the application for community financing that have been developed by Mr. Maman facilitated by 5 facilitators.
