The UNFPA Strategic Plan for 2026-2029 articulates the organization’s response to a complex global environment, providing a roadmap for resilience and renewal. It is designed to accelerate the implementation of the Programme of Action of the International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD) and the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals by 2030.

Job Purpose:

The purpose of this consultancy is to develop a Technical Guidance on SRH/GBV preparedness  that integrates the Minimum Initial Service Package (MISP) into district-level health sector preparedness plans

Scope of work

The consultancy will develop a National Technical Guidance for SRH/GBV Preparedness, operationalizing MOH Regulations (No. 75/2019, No. 6/2024, and No. 2/2025). This framework will bridge high-level policy with district-level execution by integrating Anticipatory Action (AA), standardized MISP costing, and options for sustainable source of financing.

The scope of work includes:

Phase I: MISP readiness assessment and Desk Review

• Institutional Gap Analysis: Conduct a National MISP Readiness Assessment to evaluate the national coordination capacity, leadership functions, workplan, and financing mechanisms in ensuring the implementation of  SRH/GBV services during emergencies. This assessment will follow the UNFPA MISP Readiness Assessment (MRA) tool. 
• Identification of Triggering Indicators & Data Mapping: Identify "Early Warning" indicators (e.g., BMKG forecasts, hydrological data) and establish specific threshold levels that trigger SRH/GBV readiness interventions.
• A budgetary barriers review:  An analysis of funding mechanisms p to identify specific entry points within national and regional budgets that can sustainably support financing the disaster preparedness and SRH/GBV response at the district level.

Phase II: Development of Technical Guideline on SRH/GBV preparedness

• Integration of Anticipatory Action (AA): Integrating the AA approach into the technical guideline that includes identification of the "Pre-Impact" phase,  who does what when a trigger hits (e.g., 72 hours before a predicted flood); pre-positioning and early distribution of Reproductive Health Supplies,  customized Dignity kits, and RH sub-cluster coordination.
• Developing step-wise technical guideline: Draft a technical guideline for SRH/GBV preparedness that integrates the AA approach, MISP, and step-wise operating procedures for the SRH/GBV preparedness.

Phase III: SRH/GBV preparedness costing and potential financing mechanisms

• Standardized Costing Tool: Based on the identified SRH/GBV preparedness steps, to create a scalable "Unit Cost" model for SRH/GBV preparedness components that district health offices (Dinkes) can plug directly into the district Work Plan and Budget.
• Mapping Financing mechanisms for SRH/GBV preparedness and MISP response: Detailing potential financing mechanisms for SRH/GBV preparedness and MISP response, including looking at potential funding sources such as:
  • APBN/APBD: Optimization of BOK (Health Operational Assistance) and DAK (Special Allocation Fund).
  • Dana Desa: Guidelines for utilizing Village Funds for community-level SRH preparedness.
  • BTT (Belanja Tidak Terduga): Legal pathways to trigger Unforeseen Expenses for AA before a formal "State of Emergency" is declared.
  • others

Phase IV: Validation and Dissemination

Present the draft outputs in the validation workshops with MOH, BNPB, and pilot District Governments to validate the technical guideline and feasibility of the proposed financing mechanisms.
