[END OF SECTION B]

SECTION C – STATEMENT OF WORK

C.1 BACKGROUND

The USAID/Indonesia Country Development Cooperation Strategy (CDCS) drives the mission’s strategy for the period Fiscal Year (FY) 2021 through FY2025 and is built around the overarching goal of creating a stronger Indonesia advancing national and global development. There are four Development Objectives that build up to this goal: effective, democratic governance strengthened (DRG); inclusive economic growth increased (EGE); environmental sustainability improved (ENV); and priority health outcomes improved (HEA).

While we expect the majority of support to be provided to USAID/Indonesia’s fourth development objective, priority health outcomes improved, the contract will support the other three Development Objectives if so requested.

USAID/Indonesia’s Objective four (HEA) is comprised of three intermediate results:

IR 4.1: Infectious Disease Burden Reduced IR 4.2: Maternal and Newborn Health Outcomes Improved IR 4.3 Public Health Financing and Governance Improved

USAID/Indonesia works closely with the Government of Indonesia (GOI) and other local counterparts to help them achieve national goals and priorities towards a healthier Indonesia.

USAID provides targeted support and expertise that complements the contributions of other donors and the significant investments of GOI. Improving the skills of the clinical and public health workforces as well as the quality of care in the facilities where they work is essential to improving the health status of Indonesians. Improving access to care and strengthening the capacity of health systems is also imperative.

USAID/Indonesia partners with the GOI at national and sub-national levels, academic and private sector, and other donors to strengthen the GOI’s national strategies for improved health outcomes, health system strengthening, and disease control. The Office of Health’s portfolio comprises two teams: 1) maternal and child health (MCH) and Health Systems Strengthening (HSS), and 2) infectious diseases (ID). Under MCH and HSS, USAID is primarily focused on improving maternal and neonatal survival by improving quality of services, reducing delays within the emergency obstetrical care referral system, and otherwise improving access to care, improving the governance environment, and supporting health system improvements. Within ID, USAID supports programs to control tuberculosis (TB), HIV/AIDS, avian and pandemic influenza/emerging pandemic threats, as well as selected neglected tropical diseases.

C.2 PROGRAM PURPOSE

The purpose of the Health Technical Assistance Project II (Bantu II) is to identify, recruit, hire, administer and support qualified individuals or organizations to provide short or long-term technical assistance as needed and requested by USAID Indonesia’s Office of Health and other offices, in particular, to support USAID’s Health program and CDCS strategies and priorities. The Bantu II project will provide specialized, high-level technical assistance to USAID, USAID-funded programs, the GOI (e.g., the Ministry of Health (MOH), National AIDS Commission, Indonesian Commission for Hospital Accreditation, etc.) parastatal organizations (e.g., Eijkman Institute), sub-national government (e.g., district health office), non-government organizations (NGOs), civil society organizations (CSOs), academic institutions, and other research institutes as required. The contract will support current and future areas of strategic interest, including USAID’s Locally Led Development Strategy, USAID ‘s Climate Strategy, and other directives.

Bantu II will identify a pool of diverse Indonesian, expatriate, and regional health, governance, information technology (IT), management professionals and local organizations who are able provide specialized expertise that may be lacking in the health systems, but which are critical to the success of Indonesian public health programs and achievement of the Mission’s development objectives related to health. Most of the technical assistance requests will contribute to achievement of specific health results as defined by USAID’s CDCS, but requests may also support the other three Development Objectives.

In addition, the Contract will support USAID to strengthen the capacity and sustainability of its local partners so that these organizations will be better able to fulfill their mandates.

C.3 SCOPE OF WORK

The Contractor must identify, contract and make available for short- and long-term periods individuals, organizations, or subcontractors to perform the specific tasks identified and requested by the USAID/Indonesia Office of Health or other USAID Offices. For the purposes of the Bantu II contract, short-term assignments will be those that last up to six months; long-term assignments will be six months to three years. The Contractor must identify appropriate consultants with the required expertise, availability, language proficiencies, and experience for each task.

Consultants provided under this contract will work from the Contractor`s offices, be deployed inside the institution supported, work within USAID/Indonesia’s office if/when required, and/or be deployed to any of the areas outside of Jakarta where USAID is engaged. In some cases, consultants may need to travel to ASEAN member states.

The Contractor must be responsible for maintaining clear lines of communication with USAID to ensure timeliness and responsiveness to project tasks, regular feedback on performance of individual consultants and organizations on specific assignments, and satisfactory completion of deliverables and assignments.

USAID will plan, to the extent possible, all anticipated consultant and technical assistance needs and annually submit to the Contractor a plan for consultancies, upon which the Contractor must build their annual work plan. While separate Statements of Work will be drafted for each position, the Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) Technical Direction may include the requirement for the consultants to provide services to support specific work activities.

The Contractor must, as instructed by USAID, coordinate, and collaborate with other identified partners and USAID programs. Furthermore, the Contractor must utilize local individuals and local organizations as appropriate in order to contribute to capacity development. If local individuals and organizations are used, the Contractor must manage the logistics, travel, per diem, and other such appropriate allowances as will be necessary to relocate these consultants domestically to their assignment location.

The Contractor must provide oversight mechanisms to avoid an actual or the appearance of conflict of interest. In addition, the Contractor must vet the backgrounds and affiliations of all proposed candidates, securing Non-Disclosure and Conflict Agreement forms affirming that they do not have a conflict of interest, when appropriate. The Contractor is responsible for obtaining and maintaining the security clearance of their proposed advisors and consultants before an institutional contractor begins work and will be responsible to ensure their contractor’s ethical behavior and professional compliance when granted access to USAID systems or facilities.

The Contractor’s responsibilities are comprised of three objectives:

Objective 1. Provide short-term and long-term technical assistance.

Short Term Technical Assistance (STTA)

The contractor must identify, recruit, and place short-term and intermittent technical advisors and/or subcontractors for a range of assignments in order to contribute to the health-related results expected under the CDCS and of the Ministry of Health’s goals related to maternal, neonatal, and child health, infectious diseases, and health systems strengthening.

Illustrative examples of possible tasks include:

● Identification of a gender and inclusive development expert and training experts who can develop and conduct a locally appropriate training module for NGOs working in communities to improve access and compliance of female TB patients and also patients from marginalized groups to treatment and also advise the gender-transformative programming on Maternal Child Health (MCH).

● Identification and placement of a team (including an epidemiologist, a biostatistician, and a proposal writer) to provide technical support to the Ministry of Health assessment of HIV/AIDS related data.

● Identify and hire a local expert to provide on-going intermittent technical expertise in data analysis for the National AIDS Commission.

● Recruit and hire a local organization to provide technical and management mentoring and training to local NGOs who have been awarded USAID grants or contracts.

● Identify and hire local and international experts to work with the Ministry of Health and USAID to conduct an assessment on factors contributing stunting and early childhood nutrition.

● Recruit technical experts to work directly with senior GOI staff as requested to prepare gender-responsive policy papers or other communication materials in preparation for their regional or international meetings on topics related to USAID’s assistance.

To meet the requested need for technical assistance, the Contractor may need to do the following:

i. hire an individual expert;

ii. hire or subcontract with a team of experts; and/or

iii. hire or subcontract with an organization.

For assignments requiring international experts or the domestic relocation of Indonesian consultants, the Contractor must obtain visas, lodging, and other allowances and provide on-going logistic and administrative assistance. Some tasks may be requested by USAID on very short notice, requiring rapid response from the Contractor to ensure the effectiveness of the contract.

Long-Term Technical Assistance (LTTA)

The contractor must identify, recruit, and hire appropriate candidates and/or subcontractors as long-term technical advisors in Indonesia.

Illustrative examples of possible tasks include:

● Recruit, hire and place a laboratory specialist in TB, at the National TB Program for two years.

● Hire a technical team to support the Ministry of Health to support COVID-19 data center in the implementation of their new online data systems.

To meet the requested need for technical assistance, the Contractor may need to do the following:

i. hire an individual expert;

ii. hire or subcontract with a team of experts; and/or

iii. hire or subcontract with an organization.

The Contractor must obtain all clearances and visas, manage relocation and other approved allowances, and provide on-going logistic support required by the consultants, including in-country travel and logistic support.

The Contractor must identify, recruit and contract with diverse groups of technical advisors and organizations, for a wide range of technical areas and expertise, including: maternal and neonatal health; child health; nutrition; epidemiology; health information, monitoring and disease surveillance systems; research methodologies; biostatistics; reproductive health; HIV/AIDS; TB;

COVID-19, influenza; emerging pandemic threats; neglected tropical diseases; writing and editing; financial and organizational management; curriculum development; gender and social inclusion; social science research, information technology, health systems strengthening including governance, financing, human resources and supply chain management, procurement, behavior change communication, and other related public health areas.

In order to respond to the complete range of potential tasks, the Contractor must maintain a database containing both national and international consultants, identified by areas of expertise, language abilities and experience. This database shall be available for searches and use by USAID.

At the end of the contract, the database and all information therein will remain the property of USAID. The Contractor will also be responsible for collecting, analyzing and reporting on consultant data as well as completing performance assessments of all consultants. This information will be provided to USAID on a semi-annual basis.

Objective 2. Arrange meetings and provide other logistics support.

Often, HEA and other USAID offices need off-site meetings planned and organized with GOI or private sector counterparts, or to co-design/co-creation activities that do not fit into the work plans of existing HEA projects. This support is additional to the logistical support to consultants procured under Objective 1.

Illustrative Activities:

● Organize a co-creation event with private sector on for a new TB project.

● Organize a USAID-MOH event to discuss the status of HEA Grant Implementation Agreements (GIA).

Objective 3. Support local organizations to address gaps in their organizational capacity.

Continued effectiveness of USAID supported local entities beyond the life of an activity or donor funding is a core commitment of USAID. Strengthened sustainability means that organizations will be better able to fulfill their mandates; with an increased capacity to plan, finance, and implement their interventions in a socially inclusive, gender-sensitive, and accountable manner, beyond USAID funding. While issues such as legal and political environment, advocacy, and other areas also affect the sustainability of organizations, support under this award will focus primarily on areas related to organizational capacity and financing, as these have been identified as two primaries, actionable, aspects underpinning the sustainability of local entities in Indonesia.

Many of HEA and other USAID Offices’ new and local partners have gaps in organizational capacity. They struggle to meet USAID’s performance and financial reporting requirements and lack the ability to diversify their funding sources. Receiving organizational capacity expertise from a local organization has been shown to be an effective approach to capacity building. By partnering with a local organization competent in providing organizational development-type support, the contractor will help USAID/Indonesia progress its localization agenda.

Under BANTU II, USAID/Indonesia will strengthen the organizational capacity of local entities that are current or prospective recipients of direct USAID funding. The contract will address key capacity development gaps that limit the effectiveness of organizations to achieve sustainable and significant impact, be accountable to their constituents, and identify and respond to funding opportunities.

As local entities vary widely in their current capacities and level of sustainability, the specific sustainability goals for each organization supported through this award should be informed by initial assessments. The contractor will facilitate conducting assessments to identify each recipients’ areas of need to be addressed through technical assistance, training, mentoring, coaching, and support as well as oversight to ensure sustainable results. Based on the assessment results, the contractor will also facilitate the preparation of a prioritized action plan by the implementing partner with estimated completion dates, individuals responsible for completion, and other necessary data for implementation and follow-up. This activity aims to address the specific organizational development and institutional strengthening needs of local organizations.

USAID/Indonesia also expects to support current local partners as well as help transition key sub-partners to become prime implementers. This will require concrete and detailed transition plans that show how international prime partners will transfer the necessary skills and capacity. USAID will facilitate any interactions with international prime partners in these cases.

Financial vulnerability can at times put pressure on local organizations to work outside their mandate and area of expertise and can affect the quality and caliber of staff an organization is able to recruit and retain. Funding for local entities often comes from a single or limited number of sources, increasing their vulnerability when funding priorities or levels change. Such funds are often project-based, limiting the local entities ability to fund core functions, retain staff across projects, and strengthen their organizational systems. BANTU II will support current and future USAID partners to increase access to diverse funding sources and will support USAID partners to focus and direct their fundraising or other revenue generation efforts in a strategic and innovative manner to meet their mandates.

Illustrative Activities:

● Engage a consultant to build the capacity of a local implementing partner’s staff to forecast expenditures (for advance payments) and submit financial reports to USAID.

● Engage a local organization experienced in organizational development to:

○ Assist a local implementing partner to conduct an organizational capacity assessment and to use the findings to develop a capacity building plan.

○ Assist CSOs in designing more innovative funding or revenue generation models, such as establishing income-generating services.

○ Strengthen proposal writing skills, provide training or technical assistance to enable the CSO to better demonstrate its impact and/or value for money, support in business plan development, or others, as appropriate to the specific CSO needs.

● Engage a local organization to serve as a matchmaker between USAID implementing partners and private sector companies with significant CSR resources.

C.5 MONITORING, EVALUATION AND LEARNING

The Contractor will develop an Activity Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning Plan (AMELP) to track performance of the Bantu II activity. Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning should be based on the results framework/theory of change and use SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Timely) indicators to quantify results. The Activity should provide illustrative activities under each objective in their AMELP, as well as input, output, and outcome indicators to measure progress towards the objectives. Performance indicators should measure the results for each activity component and establish baseline measurements and targets to assess the impact of proposed interventions. To better capture the progress of the interventions, the Activity may include process indicators in addition to the other Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) that reflect the direct outputs of the intervention.

Specifically for objective 1, the Contractor should develop a database to track all short and long-term consultancies that measure the performance and results of all consultants. The database should be able to generate comprehensive reports on the duration, costs, time for recruitment and placement, and performance of consultants utilized throughout the life of the project. The database should also include customer satisfaction reports as well as success stories of health results/successes achieved as a result of the technical assistance provided.
