GIZ – SPP: Social Health Insurance Advisor

The Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale
Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH is an international cooperation enterprise for
sustainable development with worldwide operations. Its corporate objective is
to improve people’s living conditions on a sustainable basis. GIZ has been
working in Indonesia since 1975 on behalf of the German Federal Ministry for
Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ).
 In the context of the bilateral cooperation
between the Government of Germany and the Government of Indonesia, the Social
Protection Programme (SPP) assists the Government of Indonesia in the
development of long-term strategies for a comprehensive
system of Social Protection. The National Development Planning Agency
(BAPPENAS) is its main partner. The collaboration has been reinforced and
strengthened during the German-Indonesian Government Negotiations in 2015. SPP has
entered
a new phase in July 2016 and is part of the priority area “Inclusive Growth”.
 SPP aims at improving the framework
conditions for the implementation of an integrated social protection system,
contributing to the efforts of the Indonesian Government for a sustainable
and inclusive economic growth. The programme works in the following
intervention areas: (1) Social Assistance: capacity building for the
Ministry of Social Affairs (MoSA) / Unit Pengelolaan Program Keluarga Harapan
(UPPKH) to establish adequate managerial structures and improve the extension
of the Conditional Cash Transfer (CCT) programme; (2) Social Health
Protection
: capacity
building and technical support for Dewan Jaminan Sosial Nasional (DJSN) to
strengthen its role in the implementation of the National Health Insurance in
accordance to National Roadmap on Health and the establishment of the new
social security carrier Badan Penyelenggara Jaminan Sosial I (BPJS I, Health);

MoSA and other stakeholders on the inclusion of persons with disabilities into
social protection, vocational training systems and the labour market; (4) Financial Inclusion: advisory services and

Postal Savings and electronic payment systems.
 Indonesia introduced a national health
insurance programme (known as JKN) in 2014, based on the National Social
Security (SJSN) Law No. 40 which was passed in 2004. This law laid out the
legal basis for the establishment of a nationwide health insurance as part of
the National Social Security System in the country. Following the SJSN Law, the
GOI subsequently enacted the so-called BPJS Law No. 24 in 2011. This required
the integration of the various public health insurance schemes existing at that
time into a single insurance system. The BPJS law also stipulated that a single
health insurance carrier, namely BPJS Kesehatan, should be established to
operate the JKN scheme from 2014 onwards.
 The enactment of the BPJS Law has advanced
significantly the role and function of the National Social Security Council
(DJSN) as one of main stakeholders of the ongoing Social Security and Health
reform. The Social Security Council (DJSN) has been took on the task of reform
implementation, containing the three components of a.) formulating of policy
recommendations (e.g. drafting of presidential decrees), b.) cross-sectoral
coordination of stakeholders (e.g. ministries) involved in the reforms and c.)
monitoring and evaluation of the reform implementation.
 Hence, the reform process is laid out in the
Road Map for the Implementation of Universal Coverage to Health in 2019 which
was approved by the National Government and official acknowledgment as the
‘National Strategic Document’ through the Presidential Decree 74/2014. The
Roadmap has been used by the GoI as the key instrument for realizing the JKN
and steering the overall reform.
 Social Protection Programme (SPP)

implemented by GIZ has been at first supporting the design and is currently
continuing the support for the implementation stage of JKN on various levels.
SPP has been actively involved and facilitating the elaboration of the Roadmap
and strengthening the key stakeholders in performing of activity to ensure the
sustainability of the reform since 2010. The continuation of support for
monitoring and evaluation of its implementation is in-line with the mandate of
SPP in Indonesia.
 In order to sustain, foster and enhance the
present achievements of the Indonesian government in future, the stakeholders have
voiced the demand for a continuous support of SPP in facilitating the process
of implementation which focus to monitoring and evaluation of its National
Health Insurance programme.
