Program Background

The Australia–Indonesia Partnership for Health Transformation (KITA SEHAT) is a four-year investment of approximately A$50 million by the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT), implemented in partnership with the Government of Indonesia to support national human and animal health priorities. Building on Australia’s longstanding health sector engagement, including the Australia Indonesia Health Security Partnership (AIHSP), the program strengthens health systems and health security across both human and animal health, while renewing support for primary health care in line with Indonesia’s health transformation agenda. Operating at national and selected subnational levels, KITA SEHAT provides strategic policy, governance, and service delivery advice through technical assistance, public sector partnerships, research, and CSO/NGO grants. The program works closely with UN agencies and other development partners to ensure coordinated and complementary support. Its four end of program outcomes focus on strengthening primary health care policies and services, improving health system enablers and workforce capacity, and enhancing health security, with gender equality, disability equity and social inclusion (GEDSI) and climate resilience integrated throughout.

The Role

The successful Tenderer will be required to:

1.      Assess the functionality, performance, and capacity of sub-national animal health services, including Puskeswan and other field service providers, with particular attention to service delivery, workforce capacity, and operational resources.

2.      Assess the governance, leadership, coordination, and functionality of Otovet at the district/city level, including relationships with provincial and national veterinary authorities.

3.      Develop a structured baseline of animal health service delivery, workforce capacity, and Otovet functionality using agreed assessment domains and criteria to enable future monitoring and comparison.

4.      Identify system constraints, implementation challenges, gender and social inclusion considerations, and opportunities for strengthening animal health services and veterinary governance.

5.      Provide practical, prioritised, and evidence-based recommendations to support KITA SEHAT and GoI counterparts in strengthening animal health systems, workforce capability, and health security outcomes.
