POSITION : Global Health Security (One-Health) Policy Consultant
Background and Justification
JSI Research & Training Institute, Inc. (JSI) is a public health management consulting and research organization dedicated to improving the health of individuals and communities throughout the world over the last forty years. The Country Health Information Systems and Data Use program (CHISU) is a five year USAID funded cooperative agreement (2020-2025) led by JSI and focused on strengthening health information systems (HIS), enabling sharing of data between systems and its use, and supporting countries' self-reliance by enhancing capacity for local leadership and engagement in every aspect of health data.
In line with these objectives, CHISU Indonesia is set to collaborate with the Ministry of Health (MOH) of Indonesia in various health programs, ones of which are Global Health Security (GHS). Related to GHS, Indonesia is fulfilling the requirements of the International Health Regulations (IHR) 2005, working to improve its ability to handle public health emergencies for emerging infectious diseases (EIDs). As part of this commitment since 2011, Indonesia has issued several national regulations and developed strategic plans to overcome issues related to zoonosis. The Presidential Regulation No. 30 Year 2011 on Zoonotic Control, coordinated by the Kemenko PMK, Coordinating Ministry for Human Development and Culture, calls for the strengthening of cross-sectoral zoonotic control systems, including the synchronization, guidance, supervision, monitoring and evaluation of policies, strategies, and programs. Complementing this, the MoH also has the Action Plan for the Prevention and Control of Vector and Zoonotic Diseases 2015-2019 which covers capacity development, increased surveillance, monitoring, community awareness, technical supervision, and multisectoral coordination. Then, to address these issues in support of advancing the Government of Indonesia's goal of contributing actively to global efforts in preventing, detecting and responding to potential pandemics attributed to biological, chemical and radio-nuclear agents, the Country Health Information Systems and Data Use (CHISU) Project will focus on three main areas: 1) strengthening governance for One Health information systems; 2) improving availability and interoperability of quality data from these systems; and 3) improving data analysis and use to catalyze improvements in the One Health interventions. CHISU will apply interventions in these three efforts to specific target areas under the Joint External Evaluation (JEE).
Additionally, to enhance the contribution of CHISU to the Ministry of Health's efforts in the GHS program, it is recognized that collaboration with an expert consultant actively engaged in these programs is essential. The consultant's role will primarily involve reviewing and analyzing relevant policies and regulations, identifying any existing gaps. Furthermore, the consultant will be responsible for formulating recommendations for the Ministry of Health, presented in the form of a policy brief.
