• Health security – by 2033, national and selected subnational authorities have increased capacity for health security and animal health policy development, strategic planning and the assessment, mitigation and management of acute and emerging health threats.  

KITA SEHAT is designed to address local priorities, ensure women and people with disabilities are central to health system change, and to build climate resilience into how that change is delivered. The program is aligned to Indonesia’s National Medium-Term Development Plan (RPJMN) 2025-2029, specifically National Priority 4: Strengthening Human Resources Development, Science, Technology, Education, Health Sport, Gender Equality, and Strengthening the Role of Women, Youth and People with Disabilities
