The Center for Health Policy and Management (CHPM) is proposing a research to AusAID to assess how the HIV/AIDS policy programming and implementation is currently set up within the existing health system framework in Indonesia. With the decentralization context in the country it will be worthwhile to see how adaptive the health system especially at district level currently is in absorbing the growing demand of HIV/AIDS responses. Focusing on major issues of HIV/AIDS responses in the country through the lens of health system, this research will not only assist Indonesian government in strengthening its HIV/AIDS response program and determine the future of HIV/AIDS programming in the country, but also will assist AusAID in rebalancing its engagement with the government of Indonesia in the future. In practical term the research activities will be 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.CHPM will work together with the universities involved to ensure that collaboration is in place and agreed research action plan is implemented. Notably with Atmajaya University, CHPM will collaborate in stronger partnership to conduct this research.
