FP advocacy efforts at sub national level

Through Advanced Family Planning (AFP) program since 2010, Yayasan Cipta assisted the district level through the forming of advocacy working groups in districts and provincial level to enabling environment for family planning revitalization in the decentralization era. With AFP SMART tools, which now has been adopted by BKKBN and renamed as BKKBN SMART, Yayasan Cipta actively assists local governments (districts and provincial level) to prioritize population and family planning program in the local government’s plan (i.e. by the issuance of Endorsement Letter, Governor’s Decree, etc). With BKKBN SMART as the advocacy tools being adopted and scaled up nationally by BKKBN, Yayasan Cipta has supported BKKBN in establishing a pool of advocacy facilitators with workshop in developing Family Planning advocacy strategy and workplan, and TOT SMART Facilitation to BKKBN Officers (supported by MyChoice program); conduct regional workshop on multi-sectoral Advocacy Working Group Establishment for all 34 province stakeholders in 2018 (supported by BKKBN); provide technical assistance to province through advocacy workshop to develop district advocacy strategis in 12 provinces (2018-August 2019) with the support from MyChoice program.
