ABSTRACT

The Office of the Minister for Population Affairs in mid-1996 planned to send nine family planning consultants to

several countries in Asia and Africa to help make a success of the family planning programs in these countries.

Population Affairs Minister, concurrently Chairman of the National Family Planning Coordinating Board (BKKBN),

Haryono Suyono, when opening a training program for the family planning consultants in Jakarta, said that the

training program was organized under a cooperation between Indonesia, the UN Family Planning Agency, and the US

Government. The training was also a realization of South-South cooperation in family planning and population

affairs agreed upon at the World Conference on Population and Development in Cairo in 1994. Nine of the

participants were from Minister Suyono's office and the Association of Indonesian Family Planning. The training will

last four months and the participants will be thoroughly trained in computer application, English, and how a

consultant should work. The instructors came from Johns Hopkins University in the US, BKKBN consultants, the

International Population and Family Planning Training Centre, and English teachers from the US. The BKKBN has

in the last five years trained a total of 29 family planning consultants for assignment in 10 Asian and African

countries, including Ethiopia, Tanzania, Bangladesh, Laos, Fiji, and Vietnam. In the meantime, the International

Family Planning and Population Training Centre in Jakarta has since 1987 trained 2500 family planning officials

from 87 countries in Asia and Africa. (full text modified) (PubHealth.info Document ID: CONT2T 2073-06)
