Housing, Settlement, Sanitation and Waste (PPSP) construction is one of the national priority programs in the 2020-2024 RPJMN and SDGs 2030. PPSP Target RPJMN 2020-2024 is 70% Household Access in Human Humans, 90% Open, and households in urban areas have access to waste management in the form of 80% handling and 20% reduction. Based on Bappenas processing data, national achievement data in Indonesia in 2020: Access to domestic wastewater only reached 79.53% of decent access (including 7.64% safe access), 6.19% of BABS practices in open, waste access (2019) only reached 54.85% handling and 0.88% reduction. For East Kalimantan Province, the achievement of sanitation access (domestic wastewater) is worthy

The issue of sanitation development is not yet a priority for development in the regions, both technical, institutional, regulatory, community participation, and funding. In an effort to fulfill the National Sanitation Access Target (PPSP) in the Province, it is necessary to do a strategy, namely increasing institutional capacity in sanitation management services, increasing regional head commitment for sustainable sanitation services, infrastructure development and settlement sanitation services in accordance with the characteristics and needs of the region, increasing changes in community behavior in achieving sanitation safe access, and development of cooperation and funding patterns.

As for the strategy of increasing the commitment of regional heads by ensuring the completeness of regulations, policies and enforcement, incentive mechanisms and provision of subsidies, determining payment of retribution rates, priorities and providing ease of service fulfillment, and network coordination of regional heads.

The purpose of priority of sanitation policies in this area is to encourage improvement of safe/city safe access, utilizing alternative funding mix, eliminating the practice of BABS in the open, strengthening the coordination and institutional of sanitation management, and adapting to Pandemic Covid-19 conditions that still occur. In addition, the main thing in the regional sanitation management policy is that it needs to be supported by regulations/regulations including regulations on domestic wastewater management, solid waste management, regional revenue regulations and regional levies.

The regulations of sanitation management in East Kalimantan Province have: Strategy Policy (Jakstra) through the East Kalimantan Regulation No. 75 of 2020 concerning the policies and strategies of household waste management areas; East Kalimantan Governor Circular Letter No 658.1/5219/BPPD/Bangda concerning the Implementation of Community -Based Integrated Sanitation (STBM); Draft Roadmap Sanitation of Katim Province in 2012 (still includes 4 Kab/Kota Kaltara). And from 2021 the Domestic Waste Water Master Plan (Rapergub) by the PUPR Office, 2022 Draft Regulation on the DLH, and the Regional Waste Master Plan (Rapergub) by the PUPR Office.

Tugas Penting Pemerintah Provinsi dalam Pelaksanaan PPSP yakni memastikan adanya prioritas daerah dalam pencapaian target pembangunan sanitasi, tersedianya dokumen perencanaan strategis (SSK, RSP), pengawalan pada RAKORTEK sebagai bagian dari proses sinkronisasi dan harmonisasi pusat dan daerah untuk mencapai target pembangunan, internalisasi/integrasi muatan perencanaan strategis dalam dokumen dan keuda (RPJPD, RPJMD, RKPD and APBD), as well as escort in the Musrenbang process from villages to provinces.
