Loker Social Health Protection Advisor

The Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH is an international cooperation enterprise for sustainable development with worldwide operations. Its corporate objective is to improve people’s living conditions on a sustainable basis. GIZ has been working in Indonesia since 1975 on behalf of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ). In the context of the bilateral cooperation between the Government of Germany and the Government of Indonesia, the Social Protection Programme (SPP) assists the Government of Indonesia in the development of long-term strategies for a comprehensive system of Social Protection. The National Development Planning Agency (BAPPENAS) is its main partner. The collaboration has been reinforced and strengthened during the German-Indonesian Government Negotiations in 2015. SPP hasentered a new phase in July 2016 and is part of the priority area “Inclusive Growth”. SPP aims at improving the framework conditions for the implementation of an integrated social protection system, contributing to the efforts of the Indonesian Government for a sustainable and inclusive economic growth. The programme works in the following intervention areas: (1)Social Assistance: capacity building for the Ministry of Social Affairs (MoSA) / Unit Pengelolaan Program Keluarga Harapan (UPPKH) to establish adequate managerial structures and improve the extension of the Conditional Cash Transfer (CCT) programme; (2) Social Health Protection: capacity building and technical support for Dewan Jaminan Sosial Nasional (DJSN) to strengthen its role in the implementation of the National Health Insurance in accordance to National Roadmap on Health and the establishment of the new social security carrier Badan Penyelenggara Jaminan Sosial I (BPJS I, Health); (3) Inclusion of Persons with Disabilities: support to BAPPENAS, MoSA and other stakeholders on the inclusion of persons with disabilities into social protection, vocational training systems and the labour market; (4)Financial Inclusion: advisory services and technical support to BAPPENAS and other stakeholders on the establishment of Postal Savings and electronic payment systems. Since 2010, GIZ SPP has supported DJSN in preparing and executing the implementation of National Health Insurance (JKN). One of important document that has been developed was the National Roadmap on Health. Indonesia introduced a national health insurance programme (known as JKN) in 2014, based on the National Social Security (SJSN) Law No. 40 which was passed in 2004. This law laid out the legal basis for the establishment of a nationwide health insurance as part of the National Social Security system in the country.Following the SJSN Law, the GOI subsequently enacted the so-called BPJS Law No. 24 in 2011. This required the integration of the various public health insurance schemes existing at that time into a single insurance system. The BPJS law also stipulated that a single health insurance carrier, namely BPJS Kesehatan, should be established to operate the JKN scheme from 2014 onwards.
