Project
description:
In the
context of the German bilateral co-operation with the Government of Indonesia,
GIZ assists the Government of Indonesia in the development of long term
strategies for a comprehensive system of social protection since September 2006
with the National Development Planning Agency (BAPPENAS) as a main partner.
Technical assistance in the field of social health insurance with the Ministry
of Health had started even earlier, in 2004. The collaboration between the
Government and Indonesia has been reinforced and strengthened during the
German-Indonesian Government Negotiations in October 2011 and a commitment to
prolong the support in the field of Social Protection has been agreed by both
Governments.
The project is aimed at improving the framework conditions for the
implementation of an integrated Social Protection System with a view to
contributing to the efforts of the Indonesian Government for sustainable and
inclusive economic growth.
The cooperation will
enter a new programme phase in January 2014 and will be part of the priority
area “Inclusive Growth”. The
programme will work in the following intervention areas: (1) In the area of
Social Assistance/ Basic Social Protection: 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) In the area of Social Security (with a focus on Social
Health Protection): Capacity building and technical support for Dewan Jaminan
Sosial Nasional (DJSN) to strengthen its role in the implementation of the
National Roadmap on Health and the establishment of the new social security
carrier Badan Penyelenggara Jaminan Sosial I (BPJS I, Health); (3) Support for BAPPENAS and other stakeholders to
lead and coordinate the inter- and intra-institutional policy dialogue on
social protection reform; (4) Advisory services and technical support for BAPPENAS and MoSA to
improve the Inclusion of Persons with Disabilities into Social Protection
Programmes and enable them to contribute to economic growth.
