The project aims to improve the enabling environment for equitable and sustainable health services, supplies, and delivery systems through policy development and implementation, with an emphasis on voluntary, rights-based health programs, and by strengthening in-country partners' capacity to navigate complex environments for effective policy design, implementation, and financing aligned to the existing priorities.

Responsibilities

The Minimum Services Standard (Standard Pelayanan Minimal/SPM) in the health sector is regulated by the Minister of Health Regulation Number 4/2019 on the Technical Standard for Basic Services in SPM for health. The regulation states that the local government’s performance in providing high quality basic health services must meet 100% of target coverage. This means that in order to provide optimum basic services, the Local Government must perform optimal efforts that are comprehensive and measurable starting from data collection, and quantification, to planning and implementation.

To assist the local government in developing an activity and budget plan for SPM that is targeted and evidence-based, in 2018 the Center for Health Financing and Insurance, Ministry of Health (Pusat Pembiayaan dan Jaminan Kesehatan/PPJK) developed an SPM costing tool using Microsoft Excel. In practice, the SPM costing tool that is completed by the District Health Office (DHO) will be further processed into an information system called Siscobikes (Sistem Costing Biaya Kesehatan). Currently Siscobikes is co-managed by P2JK and Pusdatin (Center for Data and Information, MOH). The costing tool helps District/Municipality Health Offices primarily to estimate the quantity and quality of product and/or service, and human resources needed to achieve 100% achievement of the SPM target coverage.

PPJK has conducted socialization and advocacy of the costing tool at the national and local levels, during a national-level meeting in 2019 and early February 2020. The aim of the socialization is to ensure that the sub-national governments can use SPM costing tool as well as to utilize the Siscobikes application.

In the midst of COVID-19 pandemic, PPJK considers that a distance learning method (e-learning) on SPM Costing tool needs to be deployed so that health planners at the sub-national level can complete the budgeting and planning of SPM and to submit it into  the Siscobikes in a timely manner.

For this purpose, HP+ is seeking a qualified consultant(s) to work in collaboration with PPJK to develop an e-module for SPM Costing Tool. To accommodate variation of local government capacity, the module must be user-friendly, comprehensive, and accessible by internet across the country. 

 

This is a deliverable-based contract. The consultant(s) will work closely with HP+ Program Manager (based in Jakarta, Indonesia) and DC-based technical staff to ensure accuracy and completeness of the e-module.
