Indonesia has made steady progress in improving the health and life expectancy of
its citizens. However, there has been some slowdown in these improvements.
WHO’s work in Indonesia is based on the country’s need for support in implementing its national health policies, strategies and plans to address key health issues and fulfil its commitment to the WHO Constitution and other international health laws and treaties. Global and regional priorities as well as joint priorities with the United Nations further guide the work of WHO in Indonesia. Providing the overarching framework is the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, which was adopted at the United Nations General Assembly in September 2015.

Country Cooperation Strategy 2014 - 2020
The global WHO corporate strategy developed in 2000 emphasizes the development of WHO country cooperation strategies to foster a corporate and more strategic approach to country work. The WHO Country Cooperation Strategy for Indonesia 2002–2005 was one of the first five strategies to be implemented by Member States of WHO. The second Indonesian Country Cooperation Strategy was developed for 2007–2011 and was later updated to include 2013. As the Indonesian economy and health sector continue to develop, the roles of Indonesia’s health partners should evolve to ensure that they maximize support for health in the country. The most recent Country Cooperation Strategy reflects changes in Indonesia and outlines the appropriate support of WHO for 2014–2020.
The Third Country Cooperation Strategy for Indonesia was developed in close collaboration with the Ministry of Health and development partners with additional inputs and guidance from WHO headquarters and the Regional Office. Drafts of the strategy were shared and discussed with the Center for International Cooperation and Bureau of Planning, Ministry of Health, Government of Indonesia.
Government health policies and plans of Indonesia
The National Development Planning Agency (BAPPENAS) of Indonesia has developed a longterm plan for national development covering the period 2005–2025. For each five year period of this long-term plan, BAPPENAS develops a medium-term plan called the RPJMN. Currently, BAPPENAS is implementing the RPJMN III covering the period 2015–2019, coinciding with the period of the WHO Indonesia Country Cooperation Strategy.
In coordination with BAPPENAS, the Ministry of Health has developed its own plans for both the long-term plan (2005–2025) and the period of the RPJMN III. The overall direction of the Ministry of Health’s plans is to move its services and programmes from curative and rehabilitative to promotive and preventive. During this period, access to health services and programmes would increase, as well as the quality of these.
