The USAID Jalin Project
Scope of Work
Public Financial Management
Specialist
The USAID Jalin Project (hereafter referred to as
“Jalin” or the “Project”) is a five-year initiative implemented by DAI Global,
LLC and its consortium of partners – IntraHealth, Vital Strategies, and Market
Share Associates – to work with USAID to
facilitate and support partnerships through a co-creation process that brings
together a diverse range of public and private sector actors to leverage
domestic resources, increase the pace at which reliable local evidence is made
widely available and utilized to design and implement local maternal and
newborn health (MNH) solutions.
Jalin will contribute to a MNH
movement in Indonesia that: (a) brings together actors, including those
traditionally outside the health system, to use local evidence and global best
practices to co-create, test and adapt local solutions; (b) addresses evidence
gaps by identifying where and why maternal and newborn deaths are happening and
uses that information to co-define and create local solutions; (c) engages the
public and private sectors to co-finance scalable local solutions to support
partnerships and ensure that the poor and vulnerable have access to essential
services; (d) catalyzes new and existing partnerships, local solutions and
co-investment through a whole-of-market approach across the projects areas of
technical focus; and (e) fosters a culture of learning and adaptation.
