Forum Air Rakyat (the People’s Water Forum), Panitia Indonesia mengundang Anda untuk merayakan Hari Air Dunia 2024 melalui rangkaian acara daring pada tanggal 21-22 Maret 2024 (untuk tautan registrasi peserta, mohon lihat bagian akhir undangan):

MERAJUT KEMBALI SEMESTA AIR DALAM RUANG HIDUP

Setelah pada tahun 2023, 25 tahun kontrak privat konsesi pelayanan air bersih di Jakarta berakhir, terdapat sistem pengaturan pelayanan yang ambigu karena tidak adanya komitmen politik untuk mereformasi dan memperkuat penyediaan pelayanan publik. Sementara itu, pendekatan komersialisasi model Jakarta juga telah diterapkan di seluruh nusantara. Dalam rangkaian acara Hari Air Dunia 2024, kami berupaya mendefinisikan beberapa ‘ruang abu-abu’, yang di dalamnya terdapat kemungkinan untuk melangsungkan perubahan. Ruang abu-abu ini dapat dibayangkan sebagai ruang yang belum ‘diklaim’ oleh kelompok-kelompok berkepentingan besar (yakni kelompok yang mendapatkan laba dan melakukan investasi), atau ruang yang sudah ‘diklaim’ namun masih memiliki porositas atau lubang atau retakan, yang melaluinya kita dapat mewujudkan gerakan masyarakat sipil dan inovasi sosial (tidak hanya inovasi teknologi atau hal teknis, tetapi juga dalam tata kelola atau demokrasi) untuk mewujudkan hak atas air dan keadilan sosial.

The People’s Water Forum, Indonesian Committee invite you to mark World Water Day 2024 through the following online events, 21-22 March 2024 (for the Zoom registration link, please see at the bottom of this invitation):

MENDING WATER UNIVERSE THROUGH SPACES OF LIFE

After the 25-year private water concession contract in Jakarta was ended in 2023, there have been ambiguous regulatory systems in place, in an absence of political commitments to reform and strengthen the public service provision. In the meantime, the commercialization approach in the Jakarta model has also been implanted in the whole archipelago. In the events to celebrate the 2024 World Water Day, we seek to define some ‘gray spaces’ in which possible changes could emerge. Gray spaces could be imagined as spaces that are not yet ‘claimed’ by big interest groups (i.e. those securing profits and investments), or ‘claimed’ spaces but with some porosities or holes or cracks or ‘you-name-it’ to pursue civil society movements and social innovations (not only innovations of technologies or ways of doing, but also in governance or democracy) to meet the human right to water and social justice.
