FHI360 RFP : OUTREACH DATABANK APPLICATION/SOFTWARE DEPLOYMENT

PROJECT OVERVIEW
The Global Fund recognizes that globally key populations are at substantially higher risk of acquiring HIV than the general population. However, KPs do not benefit equally from the scale-up of national programs as many of the priority countries, particularly those grouped in ECT II and III, have been employing generalized epidemic control strategies. In addition, many countries have only recently begun to use Global Fund grants to support targeted programs for key populations. While these countries have the potential to scale-up their KP programs, many are struggling to design and implement effective evidenced based programs due to the lack of capacity for data analysis and use.  Given the extensive experience and successes of LINKAGES in building capacity for KP data analysis to achieve program expansion and optimization, USAID provided funding for LINKAGES to provide TA in strategic information to selected GF countries to support progress towards sustainable epidemic control.

Through this funding, LINKAGES will support Global Fund Principal and Sub-Recipients (government stakeholders and civil society partners) in the selected countries to build their capacity in analyzing, interpreting and using data from different sources to develop programs for epidemic control. Potentially, support will be provided in areas that include mapping and size estimates, microplanning and other techniques, analyzing data for rapid case identification and linkages to care along the continuum, visualization and interpretation of data for performance improvement, and improving monitoring of programs for key populations and those within their networks. The LINKAGES Team worked with USAID and GF colleagues both in Geneva and in the selected countries to identify the priorities for each country.
The Linkages Across the Continuum of HIV Services for Key Populations (LINKAGES) program aims to accelerate the ability of the Government of Indonesia and targeted civil society organizations to more effectively plan, deliver and optimize comprehensive, scaled HIV/AIDS prevention, care and treatment services that reduce HIV transmission among key and priority populations, and improve the quality of life of people living with HIV/AIDS.  LINKAGES prioritize programming that has the highest return for the achievement of AIDS epidemic control goals. 
In Indonesia, the project contributes directly to the targets identified in the Ministry of Health (MOH) HIV National Action Plan.  Our success is intricately tied to the efforts of the national program, which is led by the Ministry of Health (MOH), and largely funded by the Government of Indonesia (GOI) and the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria (Global Fund).  
LINKAGES closely collaborates with Global Fund principal recipients (the MOH, Spritia, and the Indonesia AIDS Coalition) to support the national program to advance 90-90-90 programming that demonstrates movement towards epidemic control aims, and strengthens systems that improve the evidence base, enhance coordination structures, increase domestic funding levels, confront structural barriers for CoPTC service access and uptake, and increase organizational capacity and technical leadership.
In FY19/COP18 implementation plan, LINKAGES Indonesia is still doing expansion of “outreach Databank” application system to another district and province. As part of the agreement between Global fund and Linkages, in Indonesia TA for PR and SR capacity building will be focused on Information communications technology (ICT) innovation and solutions, to support this goal, LINKAGES Indonesia plans to hire a new software/application IT Programing Company Consultant for Customize Outreach Databank software for participating districts/provinces.
