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 closedschools to
reduce the risk of disease transmission. Interruption of attending school has
huge impact on the life of children,families and communities and ultimately
consequencesfor economies and the entire society. In Indonesia, like in most
countries data on COVID-19 prevalence is incompleteand Ministriesof Education
need to make decisions in an environment of uncertainty, contradicting
scientific studies and limited knowledge on the role ofschools in disease
transmission.
The Fit for School Program of GIZ has supported the Ministry ofEducation and
Culture (MOEC) to improve the status of WASH in Schools (WinS) 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 and Global recommendation to prevent COVID-19transmission.
