TOR – PROVINCIAL COORDINATORS

Terms of Reference Provincial Coordinators (Central Java, Yogyakarta, Bali and South Sulawesi)

Background The Australia Indonesia Health Security Partnership (AIHSP) is a 5-year program supported by the Australian Government and implemented by Cardno. AIHSP’s overarching goal is to increase national health security in Indonesia so that women, men and communities are less at risk of emerging infectious diseases (EIDs), thereby contributing to Australian, regional and global health security as well as supporting sustainable economic development and food security in Indonesia. To support the achievement of this goal, AIHSP will work in partnership with the Indonesian Ministry of Health (MoH), Ministry of Agriculture (MoA) and other relevant agencies and Government of Australia to achieve the following ‘End-of-Program Outcomes’ (EOPOs):

1. Stronger GoI systems to prevent, detect and respond to public health and animal health emergencies from EIDs; and 2. Stronger national coordination of responses to national, regional and global health threats.

Objectives – Human Health Component

The six priority objectives to be achieved in the Inception Phase and Year 1 of AIHSP are:

1. Strengthened surveillance systems, including EWARS, hospital-based surveillance and community-based surveillance, including linking with SIZE (One Health) for data and information sharing. 2. Strengthened coordination of information systems within MoH, moving towards a fully integrated system, as the first step towards wider inter-governmental integration of systems 3. Strengthened laboratory capacity in both public health and hospital systems, both at the national level and in selected provinces. This will include better collaboration with non-governmental providers. 4. Strengthened Emergency Operations Centre (EOC) system at national and sub-national levels with emphases on current relevance of operating procedures and plans and on how the different parts of the system communicate and collaborate. 5. Capacity built at the national level and in selected provinces through trainings in leadership, strategic planning, epidemiology (including field epidemiology), data management and analysis (including health informatics), laboratory technology, communications, and advocacy, all in collaboration with animal health services. 6. Strengthened community engagement, case/contact management, and public messaging initiatives, including the trialling of smartphone applications for population-wide scale-up.

Objectives – Animal Health Component

1. To strengthen the surveillance system including improving the information management and laboratory systems and cross-sectoral collaboration 2. To enhance the emergency preparedness and response systems including cross-sectoral collaboration and coordination 3. To strengthen One Health programs for the prevention and control of priority zoonoses 4.
