Position Title: Procurement IT Programmer ConsultantPROJECT
OVERVIEWLinkages Across the
Continuum of HIV Services for Key Populations Affected by HIV – or “LINKAGES” –
is USAID’s
first global project dedicated to key populations (KPs). LINKAGES aims
to accelerate the ability of partner governments, key population civil
society organizations and the private sector to more effectively plan, deliver
and optimize comprehensive, scaled HIV/AIDS prevention, care and treatment
services that reduce HIV transmission among KPs and their sexual partners and
improve the quality of life for those who are HIV positive.  LINKAGES is led by FHI
360, in partnership with Pact, IntraHealth International, and the University of
North Carolina (UNC) at Chapel Hill.  The
project also taps into and amplifies local capacity for long-term
sustainability and country ownership of key population programming. To that
end, LINKAGES engages a diverse array of experienced organizations and special
experts already working with key populations in Indonesia.  LINKAGES prioritizes programming that aligns
with PEPFAR 3.0’s five key agendas – impact, efficiency, sustainability,
partnership and human rights – to achieve global 90-90-90 goals, sustainable
programming, and an AIDS-free generation. In Indonesia, the
project contributes directly to the targets identified in the National AIDS
Commission’s National Strategy and Action Plan (SRAN), 2015-2019 and the Ministry
of Health (MOH) HIV National Action Plan. 
Our success is intricately tied to the efforts of the national program,
which is led by the Ministry of Health (MOH) and National AIDS Commission
(NAC), and largely funded by the Government of Indonesia (GOI) and the Global
Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis
and Malaria (GFATM).  Accordingly,
LINKAGES focuses its resources on two priority areas – Jakarta and Papua –
where the potential for epidemic control is greatest.  Under the leadership of the GOI, we also advance
technical innovations that are evidence-based, but may not yet be enshrined in
policy or practice.

in FY17/COP16
implementation plan, LINKAGES Indonesia definition of success is simple: To
advance effective key population programming that reaches 90-90-90 goals in
sustainable and inclusive ways.  Together
with the GOI, CSOs, multilateral organizations, and other funders supporting
the national program, LINKAGES Indonesia will provide targeted technical
assistance and programmatic/financial resources across three results areas with
supported by Information communications technology (ICT) innovation and solutions
will capitalize on ubiquitous mobile technologies, will link applications to
track CoPCT service uptake, and will reach key populations where they are.  Every kind of activity
in Systems-oriented
TA approach also recorded by using integrated
computerize system. LINKAGES
utilizes a combination of complementary “push” (promoting new knowledge,
findings and best practices) and “pull” (facilitating access to
technical information and skills) TA to standardize site- or
organizational-level competencies, maintain service quality, and build enduring
TA networks and institutions.

 As part of the ultimate
achievement across three results areas with supported by Information
communications technology (ICT) innovation and solutions, LINKAGES plans to hiring
 a software/application IT Programing
Individual Consultant. He/she will work under the direction of the LINKAGES
ICT4D Advisor and in close coordination with the LINKAGES/Indonesia capacity
development/partner engagement and M&E team to provide focused technical
expertise in not only for upgrading TA tracking system but also for several
work related to FY17 Linkages Work plan.SCOPE
OF WORK

1. Support ICT4D Advisor to develop Systems-oriented TA approach
   that LINKAGES utilizes a combination of complementary “push” (promoting new
   knowledge, findings and best practices) and “pull” (facilitating access to
   technical information and skills) TA to standardize site- or
   organizational-level competencies, maintain service quality, and build enduring
   TA networks and institutions. We continually monitor emerging knowledge and
   practice to identify relevant TA opportunities, and we utilize systematic
   tools/approaches to identify and act upon TA needs, challenges or priorities.
   Trusted local technical assistance providers or LINKAGES “special experts” and
   institutions ensure the quality, effectiveness, efficiency and sustainability
   of an evolving response.
2. Support ICT4D Advisor to provide technical support and ICT
   tools for Care and Treatment Unit to achieve result area one, target on
   Increased availability of comprehensive prevention, care and treatment
   services, including reliable coverage across the continuum of care. LINKAGES
   will leverage USAID resources to improve CoPCT cascade performance in targeted
   districts in Jakarta and Papua where the potential to achieve epidemic control
   is greatest.  Direct service delivery
   (DSD) and Technical Assistance Service Delivery Improvement (TA-SDI) core and
   near-core interventions will demonstrate increased key population reach,
   testing, yield/enrollment, initiation and retention in decentralized service
   settings across the continuum of HIV prevention, care and treatment.
3. Support ICT4D Advisor to provide technical support and ICT
   tools for Community-Based Services Unit to achieve result area two, target on
   Demand for comprehensive prevention, care and treatment services among key
   populations enhanced and sustained.  LINKAGES technical assistance providers
   and special experts will advance the use of innovative technical tools and
   approaches that foster demand and promote uptake of HIV outreach, testing, and
   care & treatment services among key populations.  Technical assistance will focus on the
   development, positioning and feasibility testing of strategies that are
   evidence-based, but have yet to be enshrined in policy or practice, such as
   enhanced outreach models, community-based HIV screening (“test for triage”
   approaches), saliva-based rapid testing (Oraquick), circumcision, and
   Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP). 
   Information communications technology (ICT) solutions will capitalize on
   ubiquitous mobile technologies, will link applications to track CoPCT service
   uptake, and will reach key populations where they are.  Targeted advocacy, key population engagement and
   service interventions will be carried out to reduce service accessibility
   barriers within a strong human rights framework.
4. Support ICT4D Advisor to provide technical support and ICT
   tools for Monitoring and Evaluation/ System Information Unit to achieve result
   area three, target on Strengthened systems for planning, monitoring, evaluating
   and assuring the quality of programs for key populations.  LINKAGES will provide strategic TA at
   national, provincial, district and facility levels to improve the quality of
   existing HIV information/patients electronic records systems; will link
   community-based and facility-based information systems; and will foster a
   culture of continual data use and quality improvement. We will work with the
   national program to strengthen district bodies and increasingly transfer
   routine health systems strengthening capacity building, mentoring, and
   monitoring & evaluation (M&E) functions to GOI designated
   provincial/district/site service or TA providers.  Facilities and partners will be supported to
   operate at “effective” technical, programmatic and financial performance
   thresholds, as assessed by LINKAGES-adapted monitoring tools and/or GOI
   endorsed quality assurance indicators.
