    UNIKOM Hosted the Regional Apparatus Forum on Women’s Empowerment and Child Protection (PPPA) and Population Control and Family Planning (PPKB) held by (DP3AKB) West Java

    BANDUNG, UNIKOM – Universitas Komputer Indonesia (UNIKOM) hosted the Regional Apparatus Forum on Women’s Empowerment and Child Protection (PPPA) and Population Control and Family Planning (PPKB) held by the Office of Women’s Empowerment, Child Protection, and Family Planning (DP3AKB) on Thursday, February 13, 2025, at the 17th floor Auditorium of Smart Building UNIKOM, with the theme “Alignment of Priority Programs for Women’s Empowerment, Child Protection and Family Development Towards Special West Java”. This forum brought together elements of the Ministry of Women’s and Children’s Empowerment, the Ministry of Population and Family Development or National Population and Family Planning Agency (BKKBN), the West Java Government, and regional apparatus in charge of PPPA and PPKB districts and cities throughout West Java.

    The Head of DP3AKB, Dr. Siska Gerfianti, SP.DLP, MH.Kes, who is also on the organizing committee, reported that the women’s empowerment, child protection, and family development programs will only succeed when stakeholders collaborate to make it happen. She also emphasized that “This activity has three main objectives. First, synchronizing activity/program plans between the province and 27 districts/cities in West Java. Second, to harmonize the proposal with regional and national development plans. Third, to build a joint commitment to realize it as a regional flagship program. Therefore, this activity presents elements of the central government, the regional apparatus in charge of regional planning, and districts/cities. Therefore, the involvement of all sectors is important, especially the regional apparatus in provinces and districts/cities that synergize with policy makers at the central level,” said Siska.

    Furthermore, Dr. Siska detailed a dozen priority activities that will be implemented throughout 2025, which are expected to synergize with all stakeholders in West Java. These activities include achieving the title of Child Friendly Province, Child Friendly Puspaga, Mentor Level Parahita Ekapraya Award, West Java Women’s School in districts or cities, Premarital Counseling, Strengthening Women’s Political Schools, Stopan Jabar, and others.

All of this can be done through collaboration between the central, provincial, and district/city governments, as well as the community.

    Veronica emphasized that family development is a long and crucial process to realize the Indonesia Emas 2045. According to her, the series of cases of violence against women and children cannot be separated from the way people think. Therefore, it is necessary to change the mindset in the family itself and this big agenda cannot be done alone, but requires collaboration of all parties. In line with the long-term agenda towards Indonesia Emas 2045, Veronica explained, her office has launched three priority programs. The three programs include Ruang Bersama Indonesia (RBI), expanding the function of Sahabat Perempuan dan Anak (SAPA) 129 services, and strengthening One Data on Women and Children.  RBI is a cross-sector collaboration initiative to address various issues of women and children, including violence, stunting, and poverty. “This program has been implemented in six pilot villages. This is in order to bottom-up, what do the community need, what do teenagers need, what do families need? That way, program planning can be done according to the needs of the community,” Veronica explained.

    On the occasion, Deputy Chairperson of Commission V of the West Java DPRD Hj. Siti Muntamah, S.Ap., expressed her appreciation for the initiation of DP3AKB West Java in organizing the regional apparatus forum on PPPA and PPKB affairs. She said Commission V paid attention to PPPA and PPKB issues in West Java, and asked the parties to work together and collaborate in the success of PPPA and PPKB programs in West Java. “We at the West Java DPRD hope to optimize the priority programs of PPPA and PPKB through mutually beneficial collaboration. Second, we hope for innovation and adaptation so that each program can run according to the needs of the community. Then, no less important is the strengthening of data and evaluation, so that quality data can produce quality output. Thus, we can truly realize the Special Jabar,” she concluded. 

    The agenda of the activity continued with the presentation of material, which was divided into two sessions.
