CHAI Overview

The Clinton Health Access Initiative, Inc. (CHAI) is a global health organization committed to its mission of saving lives and improving health outcomes in low and middle-income countries by enabling governments and the private sector to strengthen and sustain quality health systems.

CHAI was founded in 2002 in response to the HIV/AIDS epidemic to dramatically reduce the price of life-saving drugs and increase access to these medicines in the countries with the highest burden of the disease. Over the following two decades, CHAI has expanded its focus. Today, along with HIV, we work in conjunction with our partners to prevent and treat infectious diseases such as COVID-19, malaria, tuberculosis, and hepatitis. Our work has also expanded into cancer, diabetes, hypertension, and other non-communicable diseases, and we work to accelerate the rollout of lifesaving vaccines, reduce maternal and child mortality, combat chronic malnutrition, and increase access to assistive technology. We are investing in horizontal approaches to strengthen health systems through programs in human resources for health, digital health, and health financing. With each new and innovative program, our strategy is grounded in maximizing sustainable impact at scale, ensuring that governments lead the solutions, that programs are designed to scale nationally, and that learnings are shared globally.

At CHAI, our people are our greatest asset, and none of this work would be possible without their talent, time, dedication, and passion for our mission and values. We are a highly diverse team of enthusiastic individuals across 40 countries with a broad range of skill sets and life experiences. CHAI is deeply grounded in the countries we work in, with the majority of our staff based in program countries. Learn more about our exciting work: http://www.clintonhealthaccess.org/

Program Background & Position Overview

In support of the Government of Indonesia’s Health Transformation Agenda, CHAI is implementing the Accelerating ILP in Indonesia (ACTION) Project (2025–2027) to transition primary healthcare from fragmented, program-based “silos” toward Primary Health Care Integration (Integrasi Layanan Primer – ILP). This life-cycle approach is critical because it fundamentally transforms the health system by integrating service delivery across three tiers: the sub-district (Puskesmas), village (Pustu), and neighborhood (Posyandu) levels. While the Ministry of Health (MOH) has a clear vision for this integration, the transition from program-based models to a unified system faces significant subnational challenges, including inconsistent coordination, budgeting gaps, and fragmented data systems. The ACTION Project provides technical assistance in Bekasi City and Bogor District to optimize the current ILP implementation at the local level, ensuring that health service delivery like MNCH, nutrition, immunization and NCDs are addressed through a cohesive, standardized integration framework.

To bridge these implementation gaps, CHAI provides support across four strategic pillars: Technical Regulation and Budgeting, Community Utilization, Integrated Service Delivery, and Digital Health & Logistics Management. We are seeking a contractor to serve as the strategic partner for national high-level coordination and inter-ministerial harmonization, as well as supporting the subnational high-level engagement and coordination. This role is essential to ensure the ACTION Project’s learnings from the field directly inform national policy, while translating the MOH’s national vision into lasting subnational commitment and securing robust policy frameworks, creating a sustainable, integrated health system that persists beyond the project lifecycle. Further information on the ACTION project is available here.

Objectives

The primary objective of this consultancy is to support ACTION Project and harmonize inter-ministerial efforts to strengthen ILP framework. Specifically, the contractor will do:

1. Stakeholder Mapping and Landscape Analysis:
   1. Conduct a comprehensive mapping of national-level stakeholders to identify key influencers and decision-makers within the Ministry of Health and relevant inter-ministerial bodies.
   2. Define key enablers and barriers where service delivery from ACTION Project is positioned for national scale-up, specifically identifying the financial pathways required for long-term sustainability of the service delivery model.
2. Government Engagement and Messaging Strategy:
   1. Provide technical and logistical facilitation for high-level government meetings and workshops to foster cross-sectoral alignment on ILP.
   2. Develop a tailored messaging framework and communication strategy per stakeholder group to ensure project goals resonate with the specific mandates and political priorities of each audience.
3. Dissemination and Strategic Policy Recommendation:
   1. Develop policy briefs that tie programmatic outcomes (e.g., zero dose reduction, NCD screening) to current political momentum for both ILP and broader health transformation agendas.
   2. Integrate ACTION project dissemination into the National ILP Consortium agenda (biannual meetings) to advocate for the inclusion of project learnings into national scale-up considerations.
   3. Formulate recommendations for programmatic and financial sustainability to maintain government ownership beyond the project lifecycle.
4. Policy and Political Environment Monitoring:
   1. Maintain a continuous observation on the political and regulatory environment in Indonesia to identify emerging risks or opportunities related to health system integration.
   2. Provide CHAI with regular strategic updates and actionable insights to allow for agile adjustments in advocacy and implementation tactics.
