Abstract

The International agreements of MDGs (Millennium Development Goals) have been responded positively by the Indonesian government as outlined in the Strategic Plan of the Ministry of Health 2010-2014 that contains eight priority focus of development and road map STBM (Community Based Total Sanitation) acceleration program 2013-2015.

The Concept of strategic formulation applied by the government to achieve these targets, including through changes in behavior, the creation of sanitation needs and improve the supply market to meet the sanitation needs by involving the communities, the government and sanitation entrepreneurs facilitated and advocated by the Non-Government Organization (WSP-Water and Sanitation Program, and APPSANI-Asosiasi Pengelola dan Pemberdayaan Sanitasi Indonesia). This research studied the role of knowledge sharing between actors who perform collaborative functions and contribute to the triple helix (demand, supply, and enabling) in relation to the achievement of the MDGs 7-10.
