Background

As a preliminary activity of the research it is important that the researchers gain similar knowledge and understanding about the research setting. Therefore the core research team needs to conduct a review of the current HIV/AIDS policy and programming at the national and provincial level. This review will also document key factors that support or facilitate or hinder achievements of HIV/AIDS and programming in the country. Further, more results of the review will be utilised to develop the main protocol of the research.

Executive Summary

Despite pros and cons of the vertical approach in providing assistance to the people with HIV/AIDS, most results of HIV/AIDS researches and the latest evaluation by the National AIDS Commission of 2011 concluded that policy responses programs to combat HIV/AIDS in Indonesia have been scattered and have not been well-aligned or strengthened the health system in the country. This brings enormous challenges in bringing the HIV response up to an effective and efficient level. With more cases reported from 341 districts and cities in the whole 33 provinces in Indonesia and even more responses implemented by the Indonesian government either with or without the supports from various donors, it is obvious that all efforts in providing better prevention programs, care, and treatment, as well as reduction of exposure to HIV/AIDS needs to be revisited.

To ensure quality and sustainability of the result of the research CHPM is proposing a management structure of the research implementation plan. CHPM has also prepared quality assurance steps to be followed throughout the research span of time, a risk management plan, and a monitoring and evaluation plan. Details of the organization, quality assurance, risk management, and the monitoring and evaluation plan are as following.

Under the Australia – Indonesia Partnership for HIV (AIPHIV) the Center for Health Policy and Management (CHPM) of the Faculty of Medicine, University of GadjahMada (UGM) is conducting a research with a funding support from the AusAID to assess how the HIV/AIDS policy programming and implementation is currently set up within the existing health system framework in Indonesia.

The research activities are clustered into three components. First, policy analysis to map out the current policy and programming approach in HIV response in Indonesia and to assess to what extent has or is the Indonesian health system has or will be able to address HIV/AIDS epidemics. Second, the research will explore options of optimum delivery model that will enable effective scaling-up of complex intervention of HIV/AIDS within the framework of the current Indonesian health system in a highly decentralized context by also taking into account the demand of other basic health services.Third, is strengthening the knowledge management network with other 9 universities in 8 selected provinces in Indonesia.
