Supporting for Emerging Infectious Disease Risk Mapping
Executive Summary
The Emerging Infectious Diseases (EID) Risk Mapping initiative is a collaborative effort led by the Ministry of Health (MoH) of Indonesia, supported by WHO Indonesia, and executed by Reconstra. The project aims to strengthen Indonesia’s preparedness against priority emerging infectious diseases—Avian Influenza, MPox, Zika, Legionellosis, and Meningococcal Meningitis—by developing a comprehensive, standardized, and actionable risk-mapping tool.
The primary objective is to design a robust assessment tool that identifies district- and city-level vulnerability, threat levels, and response capacity, enabling evidence-based mitigation and early preparedness. Through literature review, data harmonization, expert consultations, and alignment with national health information systems, the project develops indicators, sub-indicators, and weighting methods that can be uniformly applied nationwide. A pilot test in Depok City and Bogor District allowed refinement and validation of the tool before wider deployment.
This initiative brings together extensive collaborators: MoH directorates and working teams, other Indonesian ministries, district health offices, professional associations (PAEI, PETRI), and international partners such as FAO Indonesia and WHO. The consultancy timeline spans July to October 2023 and covers coordination, tool development, stakeholder consultations, pilot testing, and final reporting.
The resulting risk mapping tool is expected to significantly enhance Indonesia’s readiness by supporting integrated surveillance, guiding resource allocation, and informing targeted interventions to prevent and control EID threats nationwide.
