Position Title: Private Sector Engagement for TB Consultant
Given the recognition by many stakeholders of the need for more systematic engagement with the for-profit private sector, the goal of this consultancy will be to support district stakeholders (District Health Office/DHO, local parliament, BPKAD/ Badan Pengelola Keuangan dan Aset Daerah (District Financial and Asset Management Agency)) in developing a concrete action plan for private sector engagement on TB prevention and control. There are many different entities in each district that can be actively engaged in TB elimination, including commercial and development banks (e.g., Bank of Sumut), religious/charitable organizations (e.g., BAZNAS), private universities, private healthcare facilities, and industry. These activities will be conducted in close collaboration with district officials and other district-level stakeholders and in collaboration with TBPS District Technical Officers (DTOs) and technical team with technical guidance and support from Meridian's Senior Manager.
Scope of Work
During the stewardship capacity assessment, government and non-governmental stakeholders overwhelmingly recognized the need to increase the private sector's role in TB programs and were open to more systematic engagement. Representatives from the DHO and BPKAD noted that there is an opportunity for increased private sector engagement through Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), workplace programs, and other partnerships. In both districts, multiple private sector opportunities were identified including commercial and development banks (e.g., Bank of Sumut), religious/charitable organizations (e.g., BAZNAS), private universities, private hospitals, and companies (e.g., PT Petrokimia and PT Smelting). Both districts recognize the potential contribution of the for-profit private sector, but neither district has a clearly defined strategy for increasing private sector engagement. Therefore, the consultant is expected to:
1. Review of stewardship capacity report and initial outreach with district stakeholders. The consultant will review the stewardship capacity report to understand stakeholder comments and opportunities with respect to increased private sector engagement and to analyze partnership opportunities for for-profit entities that were identified/interviewed for the assessment. The consultant will have initial discussions with DHO team (Head of Infectious Diseases Prevention and Control Section) to analyze their views on priority private sector engagement and identify other potential partnership opportunities and for-profit partners. Besides in TB program/infectious disease control section, consultant will also explore about existing investment of private sector in the other areas (education, nutrition, maternal/child health, etc). Based on this review and initial engagement, the consultant will develop a detailed workplan/timeline for the private sector companies to be contacted in each district.
Deliverables: 1) Detailed workplan outlining specific companies to be contacted during mapping phase. 2) List of government stakeholders that currently liaise with CSR programs of for-profit companies that could be leveraged for future partnerships.
3. Development of a private sector engagement strategy for each district. Finally, the consultant will support the district in developing a brief private sector engagement strategy and in advancing partnerships with 2-3 private sector entities, including developing sample memorandums of understanding, roles and responsibilities, etc. The identified partnership opportunities will be highlighted in a brief as an example for NTP and other districts on how to increase private sector investment in TB prevention and care. The identified activities may be incorporated into each districts' future TB District Action Plans (DAPs).
