Guidelines for using potential stakeholders in enhancing youth reproductive health and ideal marriage age education of BKKBN's youth information and counselling centre, Indonesia

Abstract

Reproductive health education in school seemed less concerned by the Government in Indonesia. Reproductive health was not yet inserted in the curriculum, as a result, it was implemented through the youth centre inside the school, like YICC. Regarding this, selecting potential stakeholders through stakeholder analysis was necessary to do in contributing to the success of the programs especially after decentralisation era. Moreover, there was less research about the mapping of stakeholders which was specifically intended to YICC. This study mapped stakeholders and explore guidelines from potential stakeholders in enhancing reproductive health and ideal marriage education in National Population and Family Planning Board of Indonesia (so-called BKKBN)'s Youth Information and Counselling Centre in Jakarta Province, Indonesia. This research applied the descriptive qualitative method and used Power versus Interest grid mapping model. 27 organisations were asked in-depth interviewed and Focus Group Discussion with semi-structured questions about their power and interest to YICC in two cities in Jakarta: Center of Jakarta and East of Jakarta. The results were in mapping and guidelines. In mapping stakeholders, from the 27 stakeholders in the mapping model, most of the stakeholders were in the area 3 who were placed by stakeholders in provincial and local level with characterised low power and high interest, while stakeholders in national level placed in area 1 who characterised by high power and low interest. The guidelines recommended the appropriate actions based on the area on the mapping model. These findings were prominently recommended for inputting YICC into the system of the school for the sustainability of the programs. The power versus interest grid model pictured that the engagement of national stakeholders was less than provincial and local stakeholders in YICC. This program should be run under regulations between Ministry of Education and Culture for the sustainability of the YICC programs. Also, the YICC should be continuously monitored in the practical context.
