Request
for Proposal
To
Facilitate Training of Provincial
Health
officials on the National
Integrated VAS guidelines,
and Recording
and Reporting for
Strengthening Implementation of VAS program in Indonesia”.
Nutrition International (NI)
formerly known as the Micronutrient Initiative (MI) has supported VAS program in Indonesia from 2009-September 2016 in six provinces (North Sumatera, South
Sumatera, West Java, Banten, Riau and West Nusa Tenggara). NI has demonstrated the implementation of the “Replication Package” in these 6 provinces. This
“Replication Package” included guidance on specifics of estimation of VAC
stocks, streamlining the supply chain, micro-planning, budgeting, recording and
reporting including how to use the data to identify low-coverage districts and
plan for mop-up activities, monitoring and supervision. During 2016, NI also
supported MoH to review and update the national integrated VAS guidelines and developed manual of
QRS (Quality Reporting System) which has been implemented in the 6 provinces to
improving the quality of VAS reporting and program management.
NI has been supporting the
MoH to replicate the key program elements which
have been successful in improving and sustaining coverage of the VAS program in
these six provinces to the national level since October 2016. Currently, NI has conducted advocacy
meetings in other 5 non NI supported provinces (i.e.
Jambi, Central Java, Bangka Belitung, West Kalimantan and South Sulawesi) to introduce the “Replication Package” of
the VAS program and QRS tools (which have
been implemented in six NI supported districts/provinces). NI also conducted
a PECS (Post Event Coverage Survey) in the 6 NI
supported provinces and the results of the
PECS study and update from the advocacy workshops were shared with MoH in
October 2017.
Furthermore, to strengthen the government’s commitment
to the VAS program and better integrate the VAS program with other programs and
improve the recording and reporting of the VAS
program, there
is need to conduct a refresher training for program managers/supervisors at the Provincial
level. The aim of the training is to provide an update on the
national integrated VAS guidelines, including tools on the recording and reporting/QRS tools and the E-PPGM (an
update on the electronic monitoring and reporting system for nutrition
program developed by MoH). The
findings from the PECS (Post Event Coverage Survey) will be also disseminated
during the training to advocate with the PHO to improve their
implementation strategy of
the VAS program. NI is looking for an agency that will provide
logistical support and support NI and MoH to facilitate this refresher training of health
managers/supervisors from
34 provinces to
strengthen implementation of VAS program in Indonesia.
The activities will be held in December 2017 - mid-March
2018
