Advance Family Planning (AFP): An Advocacy Project to Increase Access to Quality Family Planning Services

Advance Family Planning (AFP) is an evidence-based, three-year effort designed to help developing countries achieve universal access to reproductive health (MDG 5b). It aims to revitalize family planning programs through increased and more effective funding, and improved policy commitments at the local, national, and global levels. AFP is supported by the Bill and Melinda Gates Institute for Population and Reproductive Health and the David and Lucile Packard Foundation. The AFP Consortium is led by the Johns Hopkins University Bloomberg School of Public Health Bill & Melinda Gates Institute. Partners include the Center for Communication Programs at JHU, African Women’s Development Fund, Partners in Population and Development, and Futures Group International.

AFP’s goal is to increase funding and improve policy commitments at all levels of national governments, among bilateral and multilateral donors, and the private sector. It builds on past investments and ongoing activities in reproductive health advocacy, leadership development, knowledge generation, and innovative service delivery projects.

The project focuses on providing policy makers with evidence on why family planning is a sound investment with dividends in terms of health, socio-economic development, the environment, and other areas. The message and the messengers will reflect each country’s situation and the interests of those policy makers.

Aman Tirta, Safe Water Systems (SWS)

Aman Tirta, Safe Water Systems (SWS), a five-year project funded by USAID, aimed to ensure widespread access to an affordable water treatment product (Air RahMat) for low income families with children under five years in Indonesia. Led by CCP, in partnership with the Ministry of Health, CARE International Indonesia, PT Tanshia Consumer Products and Ultra Salur, the project employed a public-private partnership (PPP) model to create the first fully sustainable commercial model for safe water systems. The PPP combined commercial manufacturing and distribution of Air RahMat, with community participation and media promotion to create demand for the product and safe water practices. Advocacy with the Ministry of Health (MOH) created an enabling environment for household water treatment and safe storage (HWTS). The MOH implemented an HWTS policy that endorses a range of HWTS technologies in Indonesia. Air RahMat is one of the products endorsed by the MOH.

Community Based Avian Influenza Control Project (CBAIC)

The Community-Based Avian Influenza Control Project (CBAIC), a three-year project funded by USAID, was part of USAID and Indonesia’s strategy for reducing the risk of pandemic flu. Led by Development Alternatives, Inc. (DAI), the goals of CBAIC included prevention of pandemic flu from H5N1 avian influenza (AI), building the Indonesian Government's capacity for pandemic response and reducing occurrence of AI transmission in poultry and humans. CCP’s role was to design and implement a short, intensive behavior change communications (BCC) strategy. An integrated approach included mass media, print material distribution, and community-level events, with each element reinforcing the impact of the others.

Environmental Services Program (ESP)

The Environmental Services Program (ESP), a five-year program funded by the USAID, sought to promote better health through improved water management and increased access to safe water and sanitation in Indonesia. Led by Development Alternatives, Inc. (DAI), ESP took a “ridge to reefs” approach to link water resources management with improved health. CCP’s role was to direct the strategic communication for behavior change components of the project. Behavior change focused on community groups and school systems and addressed hygiene issues such as hand washing with soap to reduce diarrhea prevalence. CCP also worked with local media networks to build awareness of and discourse about key water, environment, and health issues through regular multimedia campaigns.

Improving Contraceptive Method Mix (ICMM)

The Improving Contraceptive Method Mix (ICMM) Project began in Indonesia in October 2012. Funded by USAID and AusAID, this four-year project will investigate the impact of applying knowledge management (KM) principles to support targeted advocacy activities to improve the contraceptive method mix in two Indonesian provinces: East Java and Nusa Tenggara Barat (NTB). District-level working groups, working closely with project staff, will develop an advocacy plan to government and NGO leaders for increasing the priority of family planning (FP) – specifically long-acting and permanent methods (LAPMs) - at the district level.

The three major components of the ICMM project are: 1) Collecting evidence about the use of FP in the two study districts; 2) Advocating for the availability and use of quality FP services – particularly LAPMs – in resource-poor areas; and 3) Local capacity building for KM.

ICMM brings together the experience and program strengths of local Indonesian organizations, using Advance Family Planning-Indonesia’s (AFP-I) methodology, and enhanced by the KM expertise and tools of the Knowledge for Health (K4Health) Project. ICMM will be implemented under K4Health through CCP's Indonesia office, drawing upon the technical skills of ICMM partners: The Center for Health Research/University of Indonesia and the Cipta Cara Padu Foundation. ICMM staff will also work closely with the Directorate of Maternal Health from Indonesia’s Ministry of Health and the National Population and Family Planning Board (BKKBN) to implement the activities. K4Health’s experience and lessons learned from other diverse settings will greatly inform this innovative and collaborative project that will use KM approaches to translate evidence into action.

Strategies Against Flu Emergence (SAFE)

The Strategies Against Flu Emergence (SAFE) project is a two-year project to support USAID/Indonesia’s Avian and Pandemic Influenza (API) Program to reduce the impact and transmission of avian influenza (AI) to animals and humans, and limit the emergence of a pandemic influenza virus. Led by Development Alternatives, Inc. (DAI), the SAFE project works to promote public-private partnerships, good poultry farming practices, improved biosecurity and hygiene behaviors at farms and markets, and improved care-seeking behavior for AI. The SAFE program is incentive-based, entrepreneurial and collaborative. The geographic focus is on ten high risk districts of West Java and Banten. As a core partner, JHU•CCP is designing and implementing strategic behavior change communication (BCC) campaigns targeted at workers along the poultry value chain and at poultry consumers who are at risk for AI.

Sustaining Technical Achievements in Reproductive Health/Family Planning (STARH)

The Sustaining Technical Achievements in Reproductive Health/Family Planning (STARH) project, a six-year project funded by USAID, focused on improving quality and choice of family planning and reproductive health (FP/RH) services in Indonesia. Indonesia has undergone dramatic economic, political, and social changes recently, leading the Government of Indonesia to decentralize control of many of its functions to the district level. Led through a partnership between CCP and JHPIEGO, the STARH project worked with the National Family Planning Coordinating Board (BKKBN), the Ministry of Health, the Ministry for Women’s Empowerment, and many local NGOs to promote increased access and improved reproductive health within Indonesia’s newly decentralized system.

Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) in School, Nanggroe Aceh Darussalam

The Water, Sanitation and Hygiene in School (WASH) project, a one-year project funded by UNICEF, was a hygiene and education pilot for several districts in Indonesia. CCP implemented the project in 60 schools and gampong/dusun in Banda Aceh and Aceh Besar Districts. Working in partnership with the Indonesian Government and local NGOs, the project aimed to improve water and sanitation practices and thus reduce acute diarrheal and other WASH-related diseases among school children. The program was designed to increase knowledge and practice of hygienic behaviors, including consistent use of water and sanitation facilities, hand washing with soap at critical times, water treatment, safe handling and storage of food, and safe management of waste water and solid waste. CCP managed school-led hygiene promotion, using a participatory approach to help schools develop action plans and build skills among students, teachers, and the wider community.
