 GEDSI Coordinator


Program Background

The Australia Indonesia Health Security Partnership (AIHSP) is a 5-year program supported by the Australian Government and implemented by Cardno. AIHSP’s overarching goal is to increase national health security in Indonesia so that women, men and communities are less at risk of emerging infectious diseases (EIDs), thereby contributing to Australian, regional and global health security as well as supporting sustainable economic development and food security in Indonesia. To support the achievement of this goal, AIHSP will work in partnership with Indonesian Ministry of Health (MoH), Ministry of Agriculture (MoA) and other relevant agencies and Government of Australia to achieve the following ‘End-of-Program Outcomes’ (EOPOs):

1.                   Stronger GoI systems to prevent, detect and respond to public health and animal health emergencies from EIDs; and

2.                   Stronger national coordination of responses to national, regional and global health threats.

Gender equality, disability and social inclusion (GEDSI) are important components of the program. The program integrates GEDSI considerations into all activity planning and implementation where possible; gender equality, disability and social inclusion strongly influence health security and how health systems are developed and delivered.
