MADANI’s collaborative focus and co-location with other USAID projects has led to the sharing of expertise, knowledge, and resources, which contributes to more effective program implementation and maximizes USG investments in Indonesia.

MADANI provides support in creating demand-side pressure and citizen inputs to match the supply-side work on technical reforms. Three recent examples of this include:
 

  • Health Finance Activity (HFA): From October 5-13, HFA and MADANI signed agreements to collaborate with local governments in five districts in Central and East Java on “CSO Capacity Strengthening in Health Financing.” MADANI CSO partners will strengthen the involvement of CSOs and beneficiaries on health financing, including strengthening their capacity to conduct budget advocacy to increase public access to maternal and child health financing.
  • Momentum Private Health Care Delivery (MPHD): In Bulukumba (South Sulawesi), MPHD and MADANI are working together to introduce the social autopsy concept for maternal and neonatal mortality, enabling local CSOs, midwives, and health care centers to better understand the social causes of death. A first social autopsy with the Bulukumba local government took place in September 2022.
  • Local Governance Enabling Environment Initiative (ERAT): In the City of Tangerang and the District of Lebak (Banten), ERAT and MADANI are collaborating on inclusive basic education initiatives and local budget transparency for maternal and child health care. At the provincial level, ERAT and MADANI are collaborating to strengthen the oversight functions of the Banten inspectorate general.
