Background
Led the Palladium, the Health Policy Plus (HP+) is a five-year project funded
by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) implemented by a
consortium of partners. The project’s HIV activities are supported by the U.S.
President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR). Globally, HP+ works to
strengthen and advance health policy to improve the enabling environment for
equitable and sustainable health services, supplies, and delivery systems in
the areas of family planning and reproductive health, HIV, and maternal health.
In Indonesia, HP+ is generating critical data and evidence in close partnership
with the government of Indonesia to be used by policymakers, civil society, and
the private sector to improve maternal and newborn health, HIV, and health
financing programs and outcomes. Health Policy Plus project (HP+) is supporting
PPJK (Pusat Pembiayaan Kesehatan dan Jaminan Kesehatan, Kementerian Kesehatan
RI) to develop the technical guideline to realize non-infrastructure PPPs for
health. PPJK is also keen on ensuring that the policy development process
mobilizes the support of the various government and private sector entities to
implement this policy once in place. This includes testing potential PPP ideas
and piloting them as model cases for other relevant stakeholders to learn from
and to build confidence in this innovative financing model for health.
As strengthening private sector engagement in health is increasingly a
government priority, it is important to ensure that innovative, private sector
initiatives focused on this area can achieve sufficient scale and
sustainability. While there are several incubators and accelerators focused on
the Indonesian market, there are few focused on healthcare and digital health.
USAID can support this gap by ensuring that innovative private health start-ups
are identified, supported, and put on a path toward scale and sustainability.
HP+ will deploy local business consultants, as needed, to support expansion of
the private sector portfolio, such as developing the business plan and
financial projections, hiring specialized technical expertise to support the
business team, provide necessary legal advice in registering, monitoring and
evaluation, develop product positioning and marketing materials, and product
launching.
Purpose of the Consultancies
This work will support the health technology business incubator in
strengthening their PPP model and making strategic decisions about further
expansion, procurement processes, and payment for services, as well as
identifying and prioritizing resources for the introduction of one or two
additional products. Technical assistance will be tailored to address its
strategic business interests and based upon targets to meet agreed upon
milestones.
