Pact Overview
At
the heart of Pact is the promise of a better tomorrow. The promise of a
healthy life. Of a decent livelihood. Of sustainable natural resources
that benefit communities. Now more than ever in its 42-year history,
Pact is helping millions of people who are poor and marginalized
discover and build their own solutions and take ownership over their
future.
Pact
enables systemic solutions that allow those who are poor and
marginalized to earn a dignified living, be healthy, and take part in
the benefits that nature provides. Pact accomplishes this by
strengthening local capacity, forging effective governance systems, and
transforming markets into a force for development.
Project Overview
The
Linkages Across the Continuum of HIV Services for Key Populations
Affected by HIV – or “LINKAGES” – aims to accelerate the ability of
partner governments, key population civil society organizations and the
private sector to more effectively plan, deliver and optimize
comprehensive, scaled HIV/AIDS prevention, care and treatment services
that reduce HIV transmission among key populations and their sexual
partners and improve the quality of life for those who are HIV positive.
LINKAGES
Indonesia prioritizes programming that aligns with PEPFAR 3.0’s five
key agendas – impact, efficiency, sustainability, partnership and human
rights – to achieve global 90-90-90 goals and an AIDS-free generation.
The project contributes directly to the targets identified in the
National AIDS Commission’s new National Strategy and Action Plan (SRAN),
2015-2019. It also taps into and amplifies local capacity for long-term
sustainability and country ownership of key population programming.
LINKAGES engages a diverse array of experienced organizations and
special experts already working with key populations in Indonesia.
Position Purpose
Health Systems Stakeholder Analysis
The
study will provide LINKAGES with an evidence base that will position
the project to make politically smart investments in key actors and
institutions that will help service providers in Jakarta to 90-90-90,
and maintain Papua’s epidemic control. Utilizing a political economy
methodology, the study will examine the decision-making process and
influences in the HIV/AIDS sector to better understand the political and
economic dynamics that impact HIV/AIDS financing, decision-making, and
service delivery regarding key populations in Jakarta and Papua. This
study will take a “local systems approach” to review the viability of
providing TA at the district level to provide the full continuum of
services to key populations.
Key Questions
- If district is the correct level of government for sustaining these services, what are the mechanisms to make this functional?
- Are NGOs and CSOs effective service provision mechanisms, and if so, are they positioned to support government to provide services to key populations?
The
research will examine key Government/NGO/CSOs and private sector actors
and institutions involved in advocacy and service delivery to key
populations to achieve both short and long term epidemic control for key
populations in Jakarta and Papua.
Methodology
The team will collect information through:
- Report and academic literature review and analysis of second data and data sources
- Development of Stakeholder Consultation tool
- Data collected through primary field research
- Stakeholder interviews/consultations (if necessary) focus group discussions
- Stakeholder mapping and network analysis
Key Responsibilities
Deliverables
- Inception report outlining key individuals and institutions, schedule, and literature review
- Draft Health Systems Stakeholder Analysis report conducted in Jakarta and Papua providing a baseline assessment and recommendations for incentivizing local power holders to continue increasing the availability and demand for comprehensive prevention, care, and treatment services.
- Debriefing with Indonesia Country Representative, LINKAGES staff, and USAID
