Abstract:
As promised in the Millennium Development Goals, stopping new HIV infections and reversing the AIDS epidemic are two major targets of the Indonesian AIDS response. Ensuring aid effectiveness is a crucial issues considering that more than 70% of current resources for the AIDS response are in the form of foreign aid. This paper would like to review to what extent the government of Indonesia and its donors have made efforts in improving aid effectiveness. As a case study, the paper will review progress made in Papua province. This paper is a policy research, based on a review of available literature on aid effectiveness, donors' policy and programme documents and national and local AIDS policy and programme documents. The author is using principles in Paris Declaration to generate an assessment framework for the purpose of this paper. Based on the study, the main challenges in improving aid effectiveness in the Indonesian AIDS response are defining the most ideal model for the National AIDS Commission to provide a more efecctive management of the AIDS response in Indonesia; defining and strengthening the national management system for AIDS response and mobilize coordinated support from donors; defining comparative advantage, clarifying division of labors and developing a complamentarity plan. To address these challenges, the government of Indonesia must demonstrate its leadership for AIDS by taking the lead and translate it into the necessary actions.
