Program Background

The first phase of the Australia-Indonesia Partnership for Health Transformation (KITA SEHAT) is a four-year, approximately A$50 million investment by the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) to work in partnership with the Government of Indonesia (GoI) to advance Indonesia’s human and animal health agendas in identified areas of high priority. Building on elements from the previous phases of Australia’s assistance in the health sector, including the Australia Indonesia Health Security Partnership (AIHSP), KITA SEHAT will continue to support health security and related systems strengthening in the human health and animal health sectors, while renewing Australia's support for primary health care in line with Indonesia's health transformation agenda.

 

Operating at national and selected subnational levels, the program will provide strategic advice on policy, governance, and service delivery approaches, with a strong alignment in areas where Australia can make distinctive contributions. KITA SEHAT will work through a range of mechanisms including technical assistance, public sector partnerships, research and CSO/NGO grants, and will coordinate with UN agencies and other development partners to ensure complementarity and avoid duplication. Gender equality, disability equity and social inclusion (GEDSI) and climate resilience will be a strong focus of the program and will be integral to achieving national health goals.

 

The program’s long-term goal will be guided by four end of program outcomes (EOPOs):

·       Primary health care policy and governance – national and selected subnational authorities have adopted improved primary health policies, service delivery approaches and governance arrangements.

·       Primary health services – selected subnational authorities have improved the quality of and access to primary health services with a focus on stunting prevention and the inclusion of women, people with disability and other disadvantaged groups.

·       Health system enablers – national and selected subnational authorities have enhanced core workforce capabilities in critical human and animal health system enabling functions.

·       Health security – national and selected subnational authorities have increased capacity for health security and animal health policy development, strategic planning and the assessment, mitigation and management of acute and emerging health threats.
