KEBIJAKAN DAN IMPLEMENTASI BANTUAN LUAR NEGERI AUSAID DI TIMOR LESTE: EVALUASI TERHADAP PROYEK DUKUNGAN RENCANA STRATEGIK SEKTOR KESEHATAN
Abstrak: The Ministry of
Health of Timor-Leste has realized that they should work together with other
stakeholders to achieve their vision and mission due to insufficient human resources
and budget. Therefore, the Ministry of Health has established collaboration
with AusAid and other development partners through mechanism of coordination.
However, the mechanism is not yet implemented fully.
Objective: To evaluate foreign aid policy in coordinating AusAid donor
and development partners to fund human resource development program (in the
HSSP-SP project) through the mechanism of coordination in the Ministry of
Health of Timor-Leste.
Method: This was a qualitative study with a case-study design. The
respondents were 16 people, consisting of 13 persons from the Ministry of
Health and 3 persons from AusAid, World Bank and development partners. Result
and
Discussion: The Department of Partnership Management had not been optimum
in managing and controlling the project/program and activities of the donors
and working partners. The approved action plan and budget were relevant with
the proposal made by the Ministry of Health but planning for human resource
development was unclear and was not based on the work force gap faced and
priority in human resource development. The project had impact on human
resource development but the process of staff re-placement was not in line with
the principle of the right man on the right place. Regular consultative meeting
could facilitate the approval of action plan and budget for human resource
development. However, the mechanism of coordination was less effective because
there was no specific instrument or mechanism to do alignment and harmonization
and it only focused on collective gain and there was too much pressure and
demand to staff from both the Ministry of Health and partners. Constraints and
challenges from political aspect and human resource capacity had hampered the
process of coordinating AusAid and working partners.
Conclusion: The implementation of foreign aid policy to coordinate AusAid
and development partners to fund human resource development (in HSSP-SP
project) following the mechanism of coordination in the Ministry of Health of
Timor-Leste had run well enough but still received lack of support from human
resource development planning based on institutional development.
