Leadership and Organizational Development (LOD) Consultant

Background

The USAID MENTARI-Primary Health Care (MENTARI-PHC) project is a five-year initiative that aims to improve access to, quality, and management of primary health care (PHC) services across 15 districts in South Sulawesi and East Java. This project aligns with the Government of Indonesia’s (GOI) health transformation agenda by supporting the Ministry of Health (MoH) in implementing Integrasi Layanan Primer (ILP), or “Integrated Primary Health Care,” launched in August 2023. The ILP program shifts focus from curative health services to preventive and community-driven care, aiming to strengthen health governance and involve communities and civil society more actively in the health sector.

MENTARI-PHC is implemented by Muhammadiyah’s public health unit, Majelis Pembinaan Kesehatan Umum (MPKU), with technical assistance from FHI 360. Under this program, FHI 360 supports MPKU in areas including health governance, multi-stakeholder engagement, and capacity building. These efforts focus on ensuring that MPKU can effectively manage direct USAID funding, empower communities, and improve primary health care delivery through better health governance, policy alignment, and community engagement.

In alignment with USAID’s localization strategy, there is a strong emphasis on enhancing local organizational capacity to shift power, roles, and responsibilities to local partners. This approach is designed to help organizations like MPKU grow rapidly and build the competencies needed to deliver impactful programs independently. As part of this localization process, capacity assessments are conducted to evaluate current capabilities and develop targeted strategies for sustainable growth and resilience.

To sustain and expand these responsibilities, an Organizational Capacity Assessment (OCA) and GROW (Goal, Reality, Option, and Will) analysis identified essential areas for capacity enhancement within MPKU, specifically in governance, organizational management, program management, and human resources, including in area of succession management plan.

Based on these priorities, FHI 360 seeks a Leadership and Organizational Development (LOD) Consultant to support MPKU by transferring knowledge and skill in supporting and implement an action plan that addresses these core domains and in broader perspective understanding as a learning organization to ensure the sustainability of organization capacity development. The LOD Consultant will work closely with the AMT (Award Management Team) and PMT (Program Management Team) to reinforce MPKU’s internal governance, improve AMT’s capacity to oversee complex partnerships, and establish sustainable HR and program management practices that align with MPKU’s mission and strategic goals.

This consultancy is subject to a project award and funding.
