Abstract

Community-Based Drinking Water Supply (Pamsimas) has become one of the national flagship programs to increase rural residents' access to decent drinking water facilities with a community-based approach. The aim of this research is to find out what obstacles are faced in implementing the program to achieve goals so that this program can be said to be effective. This research used a purposive sampling technique to determine the sample with certain criteria so that 3 informants were obtained, namely the Village Head, PAMSIMAS Manager, and the community as program beneficiaries. The research used data collection techniques through participant observation and systematic observation, structured interviews, documentation, and literature study. The data analysis techniques used are data reduction, data presentation, conclusion drawing, and using triangulation data validity testing. The results of the research showed that the effectiveness of the program was found to be in the following order: (1) the village gets a good supply of clean water; (2) the village receives more clean water and less water discharge; (3) the community needs to further increase the level of service; and (4) the program needs to be socialized so that the program can run in accordance with the socialization carried out by the pamsi management.
