Title : Coordinator/Program Development Manager Sustainable Food

Duty Station : Jakarta, Indonesia

Functional context

Our current food system is contributing to climate change, ecosystem degradation and biodiversity loss, but is also affected by these environmental problems. This vulnerability is exacerbated by social and political problems, not allowing those depending on it to move out of poverty into decent livelihoods.

The Coordinator/Program Development Manager Sustainable Food is a member of Hivos’ global Sustainable Food team. S/he leads program development processes for the Sustainable Food theme for Hub SEA. Drawing from an expert understanding of Hivos’ organisational values, its global Green Society strategy, and Hub SEA’s individual strategic plan for the Food theme, s/he creates new projects and programs that address persistent challenges in regional, national and local food systems. S/he identifies and builds a network of key stakeholders from government, international organisations, civil society and the private sector, and works with them to co-create solutions. S/he builds donor relationships and identifies funding opportunities. A successful incumbent of the role will build a diverse portfolio of innovative, high-quality projects with strong stakeholder buy-in; achieve Hub SEA funding targets; and contribute to the development of Hivos’s reputation as a thought and innovation leader on the theme of Sustainable Food.

Global Health Fellows Program

Technical Advisor III: Senior HIV/AIDS Surveillance Advisor

United States Agency for International Development/Indonesia

Location: Jakarta, Indonesia

Assignment: Two year fellowship

GHFP-II-P5-211

The Global Health Fellows Program (GHFP-II) is a five year cooperative agreement implemented and managed by the Public Health Institute in partnership with Global Health Corps, GlobeMed, Management Systems International and PYXERA Global. GHFP-II is supported by the US Agency for International Development (USAID).

GHFP-II’s goal is to improve the effectiveness of USAID health programs by addressing the Agency’s immediate and emerging human capacity needs. The program seeks to accomplish this goal first through the recruitment, placement and support of diverse health professionals at the junior, mid and senior levels. These program participants include fellows, interns, corporate volunteers and Foreign Service National professionals. The program then provides substantial performance management and career development support to participants, including annual work planning assistance, and ensures that professional development opportunities are available.

Looking to the future, GHFP-II also seeks to establish a pool of highly-qualified global health professionals that will ensure the Agency’s ongoing technical leadership and effectiveness. This objective is supported by an extensive outreach program that brings global health opportunities and specialized career advice to a diverse range of interested individuals, with a particular focus on those underrepresented in the field of global health.

BACKGROUND:

Throughout most of Indonesia, HIV/AIDS remains a concentrated epidemic, with the highest prevalence among high-risk behavior groups of sex workers, men who have sex with men (MSM), people who inject drugs (PWID) and transgender persons (TG) in medium and large cities and major ports in the world’s largest archipelago. The best available data demonstrate an estimated prevalence rate among Direct Female Sex Workers (DFSW) of 7.0%; 1.6% among Indirect Female Sex Workers (IDFSW); 21.9% among waria (TG); 8.5% among MSM; and 41.2% among PWID in 2013. The 2015 Asian Epidemic Model (AEM) indicates that the number of new infections will continue to grow, especially among MSM. It is estimated that the majority of new HIV infections will occur through unsafe sex, of which 29% will occur among MSM/TG and 32% among FSW.

The United States Government (USG) and USAID have played a longstanding role in the response to HIV/AIDS in Indonesia. Since 1993, USAID has provided assistance to Indonesia for a comprehensive HIV/AIDS response program. The US President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) strategy in Indonesia supports the Government of Indonesia (GOI) in achieving its goals to prevent and reduce the transmission of HIV infection, improve the quality of life for people living with HIV, and reduce the socioeconomic impact of the AIDS epidemic on individuals, families and society. The current USAID-funded activities focus on expanding access to HIV services, reducing sexual transmission of HIV and harm reduction by accelerating condom availability and use among high risk groups (MSM, FSW, TG, PWID and other high-risk men), building the capacity of civil society organizations and government counterparts to provide appropriate prevention services, and providing technical assistance to support Ministry of Health (MOH) and National AIDS Commission (NAC) efforts to expand coverage and improve the quality of prevention and treatment services.

Limited availability of surveillance data and the variability in the quality of national program data present a major challenge to accurately assessing the gaps and needs of the national HIV program and its responses at the subnational levels. To address this, PEPFAR will provide direct technical assistance to the MOH to improve the accuracy, completeness, and usability of data for the national HIV program. The availability and use of high quality data is fundamental to PEPFAR’s ability to understand the nature of and responses to the HIV epidemic, including timely and accurate reporting of HIV and AIDS case surveillance and secular trends on the emerging epidemiological, behavioral, socio-demographic, and geographic changes of the HIV epidemic. The collection and dissemination of such data are directly aligned with PEPFAR’s goals toward epidemic control and to effectively measure impact by “delivering the right things, in the right places, right now, in the right way.” Strategic Information (SI) activities should directly support the monitoring and provision of data on a country’s burden of HIV disease and distribution not only at national and regional levels but also district and site levels.

INTRODUCTION:

The Senior HIV/AIDS Surveillance Advisor (Senior Advisor) will be based at the MOH offices in Jakarta, Indonesia and will provide technical guidance on strengthening the capacity of existing national HIV surveillance systems, the implementation of HIV integrated behavioral and biological surveys (IBBS) and size estimations among key populations, and increasing the technical capacity of MOH staff to adequately respond to the surveillance needs of the HIV epidemic in Indonesia at the national, provincial, and district levels.

The Senior Advisor will also provide ongoing technical assistance to the MOH to strengthen its capacity to effectively manage the national HIV strategy, to gather and analyze surveillance and survey data for decision-making and policy development for HIV/AIDS strategies at the national and sub-national levels, and to provide technical assistance and guidance to implementing partners, including the provincial and district level health offices. Technical support to the MOH may include; ongoing mentoring of surveillance and monitoring and evaluation staff; assisting with the design of standardized disease surveillance systems, in order to make evidence-based decisions; and strengthening the MOH’s capacity in monitoring and characterizing the HIV epidemic in Indonesia, including its determinants and impact, in order to guide policymakers and key stakeholders in the HIV response at various levels. S/he will contribute to the overall goal of improving the technical quality of national HIV surveillance systems and the capacity of MOH staff to effectively manage these systems.

The Senior Advisor will work closely with and receive technical oversight from the MOH Director of the Sub-Directorate for HIV and Sexually Transmitted Diseases. At the USAID Mission, the Onsite Manager will be the Infectious Disease Team Lead. The Advisor will be placed at the MOH offices.

ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES:

The Senior HIV/AIDS Surveillance Advisor will be responsible for:

• Keeping up-to-date with the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS), World Health Organization (WHO), and PEPFAR monitoring and reporting requirements and global standards and norms for HIV/AIDS surveillance in both generalized and concentrated epidemics, ensuring MOH and its staff are kept abreast of global surveillance best practices.
