Meningkatnya jumlah penduduk selalu diiringi dengan meningkatnya kebutuhan akan perumahan. Di kota-kota besar termasuk kota Makassar dan Surabaya, kebutuhan perumahan menjadi sebuah masalah penting karena pertumbuhan penduduk yang disebabkan kelahiran dan urbanisasi yang tidak sebanding dengan tersedianya fasilitas perumahan. Upaya yang dilakukan dalam menanggulangi permasalahan penduduk miskin adalah pemenuhan hak dasar penduduk seperti pemenuhan atas pangan, layanan kesehatan, layanan pendidikan, pekerjaan dan berusaha, air bersih, dan sanitasi serta hak pemenuhan atas perumahan, kondisi tersebut telah mendorong semakin berkembangnya pemukiman masyarakat miskin yang didirikan secara ilegal, kumuh, dan tidak layak huni. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui dan memahami tanggung jawab negara terhadap upaya dan kendala pemenuhan hak atas perumahan yang layakbagi masyarakat miskin dalam pelaksanaan pemenuhan pembangunan perumahan yang berdasarkan prinsip-prinsip Hak Asasi Manusia (HAM) melalui jaminan kepastian hukum atas kepemilikan tanah, ketersediaan, keterjangkauan, layak huni, lokasi yang layak, layak secara budaya. Untuk mencapai tujuan tersebut maka metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah deskriptif normatif yang ditunjang dengan penelitian hukum sosiologis sebagai pelengkap guna menggambarkan instrumen hukum HAM dalam pengaturan pembangunan perumahan yang layak bagi masyarakat miskin.  AbstractIncreasing of the population always is accompanied by a need for housing that mounts to higher.

Partnership Approach

Sustainable development is a global imperative, and strategic partnerships involving business, government and civil society may present a successful approach for the development of communities around the world. Business Partners for Development (BPD) is an informal network of partners that seeks to demonstrate that partnerships among these three sectors can achieve more at the local level than any of the groups acting individually. The Water and Sanitation Cluster of the BPD has been working with eight partnership projects around the world to determine the efficacy of the partnership approach in providing water and sanitation to the poor. Measuring the effectiveness of these partnerships, however, proves challenging. Different interested and affected groups will measure the success of the initiative along different sets of criteria. Partnership elicits qualitative values such as trust, responsiveness and flexibility that are more likely to be “measured” by gut reactions rather than by more mechanical means. However, the creation and maintenance of a carefully selected set of indicators for a specific partnership project should enhance relations by increasing clarity and building stronger communication channels. The paper below provides considerations for the creation of partnership indicators.

This paper addresses two approaches to guiding the inclusion of the poor and vulnerable in clean water and sanitation programmes in the framework of Sustainable Development Goals. It proposes an operational and adapted participatory approach for identifying the poorest and most vulnerable, which has become a central interest for inclusive development policies worldwide post Millennium Development Goals. Then, it proposes an inclusive water poverty index for the inclusion of the poor and vulnerable. This index, with six components, materializes the spatial and temporal equity in the distribution of water and sanitation services through a given district or municipality, particularly in developing countries.

Set Up

One of the services that have been poorly provided in the urban areas in Kenya is water and sanitation. There are many reasons, which can be attributed to poor provision of water and sanitation as undertaken by the local authorities in Kenya. The path to remedy the poor provision of water and sanitation has been charted in privatisation in the form of commercialisation. Commercialisation in Kenya was first implemented on an experimental basis in three urban areas: Nyeri, Eldoret and Nakuru. This involved formation of a publicly owned water company as an agent of the local authority. The companies formed as a result were set up and operated according to the provisions of the Companies Act chapter 486 of the Laws of Kenya. This paper looks at the genesis of privatisation of water services based on the contributions of GTZ, UWASAM and KFW to an experiment in formulating and implementing privatisation in the three urban areas. The outcome of the experiment is then compared to the current on-going exercise of water privatisation by local authorities. Privatisation of water and sanitation services is expected to solve the problem of poor and inadequate service provision that hitherto characterised urban areas. It would do this by achieving its goals of decentralisation and economic viability. However, the outcome of the experiment indicated that privatisation failed to achieve these two fundamental goals. For that matter, privatisation failed to meet its intended objectives of solving the woes of service provision in urban areas. A close examination of the current privatisation indicates that the operation has again failed to achieve its fundamental goals of decentralisation and economic viability. The failure of the current exercise in meeting the objectives of ridding the urban areas of water woes can therefore be predicted on this basis.
