This opening speech discusses inequities in health outcomes across Indonesia's islands and the opportunity for investment cases to support decentralization of health services. Key points:
- Health indicators like under-5 and infant mortality rates vary significantly between island groups in Indonesia.
- In 2001, Indonesia decentralized health services to districts but many still allocate low budgets to maternal and child health due to lack of local evidence-based planning capacity.
- Investment cases aim to build this capacity and shift planning and budgets to prioritize proven, effective strategies based on local data analysis to improve maternal and child health programs and outcomes.
- Future cooperation between the Government of Indonesia and UNICEF will focus on strengthening national and local evidence-

7. DECENTRALIZATION - OVERVIEW
In 2001 Indonesia implemented a radical fiscal,
political and administrative decentralization
under which the responsibility for delivery of
services, including health, was transferred to the
districts.
Since 2001, there was a significant increase in
public expenditure on health with real public
expenditure more than doubling between 2000
and 2006
8. DECENTRALIZATION - CHALLENGES
However, in many districts/cities, budget
allocation for MNCH is relatively low
The main obstacle in handling challenges in
mother and child health (KIA) is not lack of
funding resources, but lack of local technical and
administrative capacity that limit access to
adequate resources.
Planning and budget allocation is not founded on
evidence
9. The Potential of Investment Case
To increase the technical capacity of DHOs to
develop plan and budget using available evidence
to determine the appropriate package of
activities
To optimize locally available and relevant data to
guide DHOs strategic direction in mother and
child health (MCH) programs
To avoid arbitrary and political basis for allocating
budget for MCH programs and shift to allocations
based on proven evidence based strategies
10. WAY FORWARD
Joint cooperation between GoI-UNICEF has shifted from a
project oriented approach to a systems oriented approach
Emphasis will be to build capacity at national and sub national
levels for evidenced based planning and budgeting
GoI sees the potential of the IC approach in identifying and
addressing bottlenecks in the implementation of MCH
programmes along with existing planning mechanisms and
tools
11. WAY FORWARD
Discussions at this meeting will be critical in
- Sharing lessons from our IC work so far in
Indonesia
- Determining the scope and direction of ongoing
and future IC work in the country
- Learning lessons from other countries on the
role of the IC approach in addressing systems
bottlenecks
12. Thank you and may you all have a very
productive meeting
