Public Health Specialist for INTEGRASI Project

/in /by

Public Health Specialist

USAID committed to support the Ministry of Health (MOH) in scaling up Integrated Primary Health Care – Integrasi Layanan Primer (ILP) in five provinces. USAID INTEGRASI will be implemented in North Sumatera and Banten provinces by the Penabulu Foundation.

USAID INTEGRASI will adopt a dual-pronged approach to bolster I-PHC. Firstly, it aims to fortify Posyandu and community cadres under village leadership, while concurrently expanding and enhancing the quality of outreach services provided by Puskesmas through their Pustu-Posyandu networks and other service providers within targeted communities. Embedded in village development mechanisms and Puskesmas accreditation, USAID INTEGRASI optimizes the utilization of various social accountability tools tailored to the local context, fostering continuous collaboration between service providers and clients to improve health services closer to families and communities.

At the grassroots level, USAID INTEGRASI endeavors to strengthen multi-stakeholder health forums at the sub-district and village levels, serving as pivotal platforms for community participation in I-PHC implementation. These forums facilitate the 1 implementation of the local area monitoring (Pemantauan Wilayah Setempat/PWS) mechanism through tiered meetings, commencing from cadres and Posyandu, Pustu to Puskesmas. Moreover, they facilitate data collection methods to enable health monitoring dashboards at the village level and spearhead development and implementation of a social accountability monitoring mechanism in I-PHC execution.

At the national level, USAID INTEGRASI collaborates with MOH to liaise with relevant government institutions such as the Ministry of Home Affairs and Ministry of Village, ensuring adequate support for Posyandu as Lembaga Kemasyarakatan Desa (LKD), as well as Pustu and Posyandu cadres. Additionally, it fosters coordination with an extensive network of civil society organizations across Indonesia to expedite the rollout of I-PHC. The overarching goal of the project is to achieve at least three Impact Results (IRs) to fulfill its objective, including enhancing sustainable access to quality service delivery across the continuum of care, improving I-PHC learning for program and policy enhancement, and enhancing the management and performance of the health system to enable and sustain I-PHC in Indonesia. USAID INTEGRASI is poised to address the challenges identified in implementing the I-PHC model, particularly those concerning the role of civil society organizations in supporting its implementation and scaling up.
