NI has
supported the VAS program in Indonesia from 2009-September 2016 in six
provinces (North Sumatera, South Sumatera, West Java, Banten, Riau and
West Nusa Tenggara). From August 2012 to 2016, NI supported the
replication of elements of the processes which worked in the previous
period to improve coverage of the VAS program at the provincial level in
these 6 selected provinces. This “Replication Package” included
guidance on specifics of micro-planning, budgeting, estimation of VAC
stocks, streamlining the supply chain, recording and reporting including
how to use the data to identify low-coverage districts and plan mop-up
activities, monitoring and supervision.
Further,
since 2013 NI has supported the Ministry of Health (MoH) in the
development of a Quality Reporting System (QRS) to improve the
monitoring of the VAS program. The QRS tools and the manual were
developed by a consultant from University of Indonesia in close
collaboration with the Nutrition Directorate of the MoH. In addition,
the QRS tool was socialized and utilized in the 6 NI-assisted provinces
during 2015-2017 and advocacy workshops for expansion of the
“Replication Package” of the VAS program to other 5 non NI-assisted
provinces were conducted in 2017 with support from NI. The QRS tool has
been formally accepted by the MoH and has been uploaded to the website
of the Nutrition Directorate, Ministry of Health (gizi.depkes.go.id)
to be used nationwide. To accompany the tools on the website and to
assist with their scale up nationwide, NI would like prepare a case
study and a supporting video to share some of the experience from the
last two years implementation.
Therefore,
NI would like to seeking an individual consultant/agency to document
and highlight best practices and lessons learned at posyandu, puskesmas,
district and provincial levels on the utilization of the QRS tools and
their effectiveness in improving the quality of recording and reporting
of the VAS program. The consultant/agency will also be asked to hire and supervise a videographer to produce an accompanying video..
