The two objectives of the Second Provincial Health Project are to 1) bring about effective health sector decentralization, in the provinces of North Sumatra, West Java, and Banten; and to initiate key sector reforms and put health financing on a firm footing, while protecting health services essential for the poor and the public at large during a period of government restructuring; and 2) to help the Ministry of Health and Social Welfare (MOHSW) carry out its roles in a decentralized system. These responsibilities encompass providing sectoral vision and leadership, analysis and policy follow-up of the health needs of the poor and risks to the public at-large, advocacy of best practices and standards, and support for local initiative. This project has two components. One addresses health needs and issues in specific districts and provinces such as managing decentralization, resource mobilization, and district funding allocations. The second component focuses on strenthening the capacity of MOHSW to control communicable diseases, assuring equity in service provision, and assessing health research needs, capacities, and options, as well as on creating an autonomous food and drug control agency.
