JOB DESCRIPTION

Background

The Millenium Development Goals and national efforts to advance the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development remain unfinished work. Therefore, UNDP Indonesia Country Program 2021-2025 partners with the Government of Indonesia develop the Health Governance Initiative Program (HEART) to improve access and quality of health services towards universal health coverage. Working with government partners and civil society organizations, the HEART Program will leverage UNDP’s global expertise in governance for health and implementation support for major health initiatives. The program will consider gender perspective, develop innovative solutions, and capacities through technical assistance, south-south cooperation, and partnership for better sustainable health outcomes for all.
