Senior Health Planning Specialist

Program Background

The SKALA Program is a significant Australian investment designed to help Indonesia address regional disparities in development. It will strengthen selected elements of Indonesia’s large and complex decentralised government system responsible for the delivery of basic services (Layanan Dasar). The core approach is to facilitate better collaboration between Indonesian government stakeholders at national and subnational levels to realise synergies that trigger improved service delivery.

The program will be implemented through three pillars:

• Stronger national level enabling environment for sub-national service delivery.
• Better sub-national governance for service delivery.
• Greater participation, representation and influence for women, people with disabilities and vulnerable groups.
