For years, UNDP has contributed to the development of a better management and health system to improve health outcome. A health system includes governance, access to medical product and technologies, health financing, health workforce, health information and research. Within the Indonesia Midterm Development Goal (2020-2024), National Health Strategic Plan (2020-2024), Ministry of Health Digitalization Blueprint 2021-2024 and the UNDP 2021-2025 Country Programmme Document for Indonesia, UNDP will seek strategic direction and resources mobilization to fill in the gaps in improving access to health in Indonesia under UNDP Health Governance Programme managed by the Health Governance Cluster Democratic Governance and Poverty Reduction Unit (DGPRU).

UNDP health governance Programme in Indonesia focuses on 2 areas in support of Universal Health Coverage (Jaminan Kesehatan Nasional / JKN):

  1. Strengthening an enabling policy,regulatory and institutional environment for accessto new health technology
  2. Capacity Development and Innovative Solutions for implementation of national health programmes (programmatic, grant management, logistics management information systems, procurement)

Under area of support 1, UNDP Indonesia implements activities related to the regional programme “Access and Delivery Partnership” (ADP project).

ADP focuses on strengthening the capacity of stakeholders in LMICs to facilitate the development of the systems and processes required to effectively access new health technologies and introduce them to the patients in need.

This support will enable LMICs to enhance their capacity to access, introduce and deliver new health technologies for TB, malaria and Neglected Tropical Diseases/NTDs.
