Activities by Province - South East Sulawesi
I. HealthADB Decentralised Health Services ProjectThe ADB commenced implementation of this project in seven provinces of Indonesia including South East Sulawesi in 2001. The project aims to enhance improvements in access, delivery and quality of health and family planning services with a particular focus on poor and vulnerable groups. AusAID is negotiating a partnership opportunity with the ADB to fund the placement of a Provincial Adviser in two of the project provinces (Bali and South East Sulawesi) to complement the AusAID-funded health initiatives already underway in these provinces. The Provincial Adviser will support the transition from centralised to decentralised planning and management of local health services and will provide technical support to all districts on request. It is expected that this position would also support project implementation in Central and North Sulawesi. II. Education and TrainingAustralian Development ScholarshipsAusAID provides more than A$30 million per annum for 300 awards for Indonesian students to study in Australia under the Australian Development Scholarships (ADS) program. Scholarships are available to applicants from both the private and public sector.

One candidate has been selected for the 2005/6 ADS awards intake. The ADS 2006/7 applications are currently open. Applications close on 9 September 2005.
