The Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH is a
German public-benefit federal enterprise. GIZ works worldwide in the field of
international cooperation for sustainable development and has over 50 years of
experience in a wide variety of areas.
Schools are key public institutions where students, staff and community members
come together, interact closely and share common spaces. Schools provide a
setting where the risk of spreading diseases is high. At the same time, schools
are institutions where life-long hygiene behaviours are acquired; and which
serve as models for parents and communities.
In response to COVID-19,governments across the world have closed schools to
reduce the risk of diseasetransmission. Interruption of attending school has
hugeimpact on the life of children, families and communities and ultimately
consequences for economies and the entire society. In Indonesia, like in most
countries data on COVID-19 prevalence is incomplete and Ministriesof Education
need to make decisions in an environment of uncertainty, contradicting
scientific studies and limited knowledge on therole of schools in disease
transmission.
The Fit for SchoolProgramme of GIZ has supported the Ministry of Education and
Culture (MOEC) toimprove the status of water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) in
Schools inIndonesia since 2011. GIZ is supporting the efforts of Indonesian
governmentfor safe re-opening of schools, specifically to support the
conditions forpersonal and environmental hygiene in schools to help MOEC to
comply with SDGbasic service standards for WASH in Schools and global
recommendations toprevent COVID-19 transmission.
To joinglobal movement for safe re-opening of schools GIZ is opening a new
positionfor its Indonesia team. The DeveloPP programme of GIZ has
beencommissioned by the Hygiene and Behavior Change Coalition (HBCC) (Unilever
andDFID) to support the government of Indonesia in implementing Pandemic
