Jakarta - Since it was launched by President Joko Widodo on January 14, 2016, Kampung KB has continued to grow rapidly. The spirit of forming and establishing Kampung KB throughout the archipelago has resulted in hundreds of Kampung KB.
The target in 2017 is to have one KB Village in every sub-district throughout Indonesia. This means that throughout 2017 there will be around 7166 KB Villages throughout Indonesia. Until April 2017, only 633 KB Villages have been formed. There are still around 9 months left to catch up to around 6000 KB Villages.
KB Village is one of the government's new "ultimate weapons" in overcoming population problems, especially in areas that are rarely "seen" by the government's gaze.
KB Village, in the future will become an icon of the Population, KB and Family Development (KKBPK) program. The presence of KB Village aims to improve the quality of life of the community at the village level or equivalent through the KKBPK program and the development of other sectors in order to realize a quality small family.
The principle of the KKBPK Program is to create a small, happy and prosperous family by implementing eight family functions. The implementation of these family functions helps families to be happier and more prosperous, free from poverty, ignorance and backwardness.
The success of the KKBPK program can be seen from several aspects. First, the aspect of controlling population quantity, second, the aspect of improving population quality which in this case is measured by increasing the resilience and welfare of their families.
Increasing family resilience and welfare can be traced through various indicators which reflect the implementation of the eight family functions.
This is stated in Government Regulation No. 87 of 2014 concerning Population Development and Family Development, Family Planning and Family Information Systems. The PP mentions eight family functions including (1) religious function, (2) socio-cultural function, (3) love function, (4) protection function, (5) reproductive function, (6) socialization and education function, (7) economic function and (8) environmental development function.
The KB Village is also a manifestation of the implementation of the priority agenda of Nawacita development 3, 5, and 8. The third Nawacita is to build Indonesia from the periphery by strengthening regions and villages within the framework of a unitary state. The fifth Nawacita is to improve the quality of life of the community and the eighth Nawacita is to carry out a revolution in the character of the nation through a policy of restructuring the national education curriculum by prioritizing aspects of civic education, which proportionally places aspects of education, such as teaching the history of the formation of the nation, the values of patriotism and love for the country, the spirit of defending the country and good character in the Indonesian education curriculum.
Kampung KB is a strategic innovative program in realizing the KKBPK program in a complete manner in the field. This is because Kampung KB is a model or miniature of development that involves all sectors in society.
The KB Village is a regional unit at the RW, hamlet or equivalent level that has certain criteria where there is an integration of the KKBPK program which is carried out systematically and systematically.
In addition, the benefits of Kampung KB, in addition to eradicating poverty, also bring development closer to the community. The point is that this program involves all sectors of development. In other words, Kampung KB is not only about limiting population explosion, but also empowering the potential of the community to play a real role in development.
Other benefits include building a family-based society, improving community welfare, and meeting community needs through the implementation of cross-sector program integration. Cross-sector development and partnerships involve the roles of various parties such as the private sector, providers, and other stakeholders.
Cross-sector integration in the form of integrated services between sectors that are needed by the community, such as family planning services, deed making services, road and bridge construction, ID card making, provision of reading books, integrated health posts, PAUD, P2WKSS, etc.
However, not all villages can enter the KB Village program. There are criteria, namely the main area and special. In terms of the main criteria, a village must have requirements such as the number of poor families above the average village level where the Village/RW is located. For those who form a Village equivalent, the number of poor families in the Village must be above the average District where the Village is located. In addition, another main requirement is that the KB achievement in the village is very low.
In terms of regional criteria, each KB village must meet elements such as being in a slum area, coastal or fishing village, located in a River Basin Area (DAS), in a railway embankment area, poor area (including urban poverty), remote area, border area, industrial area, tourist area, high population density.
Meanwhile, in terms of special criteria, cross-sector intervention is needed. KB Villages must have elements including low education and inadequate infrastructure. To meet these criteria, intervention from other sectors is very necessary. (Directorate of Advocacy and IEC - National Population and Family Planning Agency/BKKBN)
