COMMUNICATION ON CHILD WELFARE (THE INDONESIAN EXPERIENCE)
THE INDONESIAN CHILD WELFARE FOUNDATION (ICWF)
I. INTRODUCTION
Ten years ago, when The Indonesian Child Welfare Foundation was
founded, there were many other charity foundations and social
organizations working in the field to improve and helping
children in their rehabilitation center or dorm. These children
are victims of conditions caused by health, family, social,
cultural and other problems j
While the other organizations continuing their fruitfull and
dedicative effort, The Indonesian Child Welfare Foundation come
with a question: Could we do something to improve these
situations ? ; Could we create circumstances that enable us to
prepare the coming of the new generations of Indonesian, healthy
in body and mind and ready to challenge the world of tomorrow ?
This question had triggered many others and the foundation has
responsed them with programmes and activities that reflect our
vision about what we have to do for the children today and in the
future.
jjjje realized that the issues we challenged are multi-faceted and
imposed many problems and obstacles. They are too huge to deal
with by only one organization. And, in the 10 years experience we
learn that the key to answer the problems and to overcome these
obstacles are communications.
With this understanding, we have been working in several
activities and pilot projects which are actually communication
programmes in nature. We have tried to communicate with people,
parents, governments, decission makers, international bodies arid
other child welfare organizations.

Through publications, library, information and document center,
seminars, workshops and conferences on national levels. We work
in cooperations with mass-media and publication houses and our
information center is opened for the media, students, profession
als, researchers, individuals and other child welfare organizat
ions .
We also published quarterly journal, report and books and we had
piloted the publication of family monthly magazine 'balita' (the
uhder-fives).
In spite of all the efforts, we know that there are more things
to be done, in term of the message we are trying to carry on, the

I I . A PROFILE OF COMMUNICATION IN INDONESIA
A. G e o g r a p h y
Indonesia, a member of ASEAN, a regional organization in South
East Asia, is the fifth populous country in the world. It
consists of 13.667 islands, but only 9000 are inhabited. A
population of about 170 million is not distributed evenly.
Therefore the population density varies greatly from area to
area, from 19-690 per square kilometer. Of the five biggest
islands, Java Madura are the most populated. 62% of the total
population live on those two islands, which only comprise 7% of
the total land area. Indonesia is also often called a country of
waterways as it is surrounded by seas, straits and crossed by
rivers. The land area compared to the waterways stands 2 to 3.

copies of monthly magazines, 5000 copies of magazines published
three times a month and 21.440 copies of bulletines.
Electronic media
Radio
The state's "Radio Republic Indonesia" (RRI) is the largest radio
network in the country. The policy pursued by the Indonesia Radio
^Services * (RRI) is directed to | the improvement of broadcasting
Equality and is still steadily oriented to the rural communities,
particularly to improve the quality of the groups of the rural
broadcasting listeners, which constitute a part of the Groups of
listeners, viewers and readers (LVR Groups/ KLOMPENCAPIR). There
are 60.755 LVR Groups throughout Indonesia. LVR Groups play an
important role in the overall information strategy of the nation
in effort to create an equal and balanced flow of information and
at the same time develop the intellectual life of the people.
They also designed to improve the general comprehension of the
rural media audience and obtain feed backs on indications of the
audience's wishes and their real needs.
?Jp to 1987/1988, RRI had 49 broadcasting stations consisting of
five "Nusantara" radio co-ordinating stations in the cities of
Medan (Sumatra), Yogyakarta (Java), Banjarmasin (Kalimantan),
Ujung Pandang (Sulawesi) and Jayapura (Irian Jaya).
There are also 27 RRI stations in each of the 27 provinces, 17
stations in the districts and 109 regional broadcastings managed
by the local administrations.

Television
Televisi Republik Indonesia (TVRI) is the state owned television.
Up to 1987/1988, TV broadcasting stations totalled 10 namely one
in each of the towns of Medan, Palembang, Jakarta, Yogyakarta,
Surabaya, Denpasar, Balikpapan, Ujungpandang, Manado and Bandung.
TV transmitters increased from 236 in 1986/1987 to 240 in
1987/1988. Transmitters have been placed in various provinces and
enable the population at the border areas, transmigration
settlements and remote places to watch the national TV programs.
the government has made efforts to expand its TV broadcasting
etwork and since 1982, 10 mobile production units have been
available in 11 provinces.
/
A total of 115.40 million people were able to watch TV programs
in 1987/1988 and 8.948.195 TV sets were registered.
To spread information evenly to the rural areas, up to-1987/1988,
54.318 public TV sets were made available in the villages within
the reach of TVRI telecast.
Film
Film production is directed to educate the young generation to be
more aware of the national struggle of the Indonesian nation with
the production of heroic feature films.
There are 54 film titles produced by the State Film Production
Center <PPFN- Pusat Produksi Film Negara) such as "Jendral
Sudirman" (animation film) "To Preserve the Environment" (Puppet
film), Films on film strips, Documentary Films such as the
"Trisula Mopping Up Operation" in South Blitar, the "Indonesian
Communist Rebellion in Madiun" the "1987 General Election" and
the serial puppet film "Si Unyil" and others.

With the introduction of the "Palapa" communication satellite in
Indonesia, in 1976, the coverage of the electronic media, both
radio and television, has been expanded. By now, radio broadcast
reaches 80% of the population and TVRI more than 65%.
VIDEO
Video tapes and video cassettes which do not differ much from
films in their role as mass media may exert positive as well as
negative influence upon the way of life and culture of the
fociety and nation. I
The government has taken necessary steps to guard the national
culture from negative influence from cassette recordings. A
selective censorship has been imposed and repressive actions
against the illegal flow of video cassettes by individuals as
well as organized bodies have also been taken.
For the dissemination of development messages the Indonesian
community in general is still making use of informal leaders in
the surroundings, next to formal leaders. Usually the government
in trusting community leaders for motivating the community in
general for certain messages. Therefore communication follows
pertain stages., not directly to the community at large, but
through a small group, representing the community and they pass
it further on to their own followers. From data available at the
Department of Information, the government is employing
information officers, the number of which is not growing, while
the number of people who need information is increasing.

c. Ethnic group
Taking into consideration the extent of the area from west to
east, i.e. 5.193.230 km2, it is not surprising that there are
about 300 ethnic groups, using about 200 dialects or languages.
The official language though is The Bahasa Indonesia written in
the latin alphabet, but the majority speaks their own dialect
among each other.
d. Socio economic situation
Socially the community is divided into the rural and the urban
community. Their way of life is different, one from the other.
Also their standards of life. Daily expenses from the people
living in the rural areas are half of those living in the cities.
Among the younger generation especially the aspects of
consumerism are very obvious.
The urban community spends monthly an average of Rp 32.520,-
monthly (equiv. of around 18 US dollar) per person, while the
rural community only spends Rp 17.468,-, which is only half of
what is being.spent by the urban group (data 1987).
%
e. Education
Efforts to enhance the educational level of the community are
showing encouraging results.
Of the 26.444.756 children of 7-12 years of age 25.983.962 are in
elementary school.
Of the 11.899.025 children 13-15 years of age only 6.025.435 are
continuing their studies.

The situation gets more discouraging for the 16-18 years of age
group : of which there are 11.100.077 only 3.489.489 continue
high school.
Of the 19-24 age group which number 2.010.873 only 391.398 are in
university.
f. Constraints
Communication is still facing difficulties due to the
geographical, ethnis and language situation as well as the
different cultures.
Whenever a message reaches a certain area through the printed as
well as the electronis media, who ever has sent the message still
has to take into account:
a.l. Does the content of the message agree with the situation and
condition of the local people. Will they benefit from it.
a.2. Economic factors play an important role also. The price of
one copy of a newspaper varies from Rp 100,- -- Rp 350,-.
The price of TV sets and radio are still a meaningful
^ economic burden for part of the population
a.3. The educational level of the population is not yet
satisfactory. Though illetaracy has come down to 15% (data
1960), it is still not yet easy for those who have just
started to write dan read to understanf printed media like
newspapaer magazine and others.
Of the different communication activities , advertising has made
considerable progress in the last decade, but communication for
social welfare is still facing some constraint, particularly
concerning the availability of funds.

III. THE PROFILE OF CHILD WELFARE
A. IMR
The IMR of a country is often considered an indication of the
general status of health of a country. In Indonesia the IMR shows
a decreadse during 1971-1980 of 23.1% for the male infant and
23.7% for the female.
In 1985 the IMR was 78.3 for male infants and 63.3 for the female
infant.
According to a survey of the Department of Health (1980) the
Ja.jority of deaths has been caused by tetanus neonatorum. The
cause of death for babies between 1-11 month are mostly diarrhoea
and infections of the upper respiratory track.
One way of minimizing the IMR is by improving their nutrition
status.
According to data available at the Bureau of Statistics '1987)
the nutritional status of infants in Indonesia is improved
compared to previous years.
In 1987 the majority of infants (48.7) had a ?ood nutritional
status , 40.2% had a reasonable nutritional status, while 9.8%
was bad and 1.3% very bad. 3 • ' . . ' "

The percentage of school going age population who are in school
is used as a proximate of net enrollment ratio. This ratio shows
the participation of population of certain ages in a particular
educational level. In 1985 the number of children aged 7-12 years
(Primary school ages) is 21 million. This gives a ratio of 85.0%
For children in the 13-15 years age group or Junior High School
ages in 1985 there are 7,1 million persons (or 3,1%) who are
attending school.
In 1985 there are 3,6 million persons aged 16-18 rears (Senior
High School ages) who are attending school.
In the age group 19-24 years otf Higher education ages there are
more than 2 million persons who are in school with an average
participation of 10,9 % .
0. Maternal Mortality
Maternal mortality rate is still very high, 800 per 100.000 live
births (1980-1984).
In order to bring this figure down certain messages have to be
communicated in order that pregnant women are wrilling to come to
health personnel for regular check-ups, nc-::t to family planning
messages, urging families to keep the family small.
D. Diseases
Eleven diseases are the cause of infant deaths, i.e:
- diarrhoea
- respiratory track diseases
- tetanus
- perinatal disturbances
- neurological diseases
- other symptoms which are not very eiaer
- avitaminosis and other vitamin deficiencies
10

- other infections
- Hereditary abnormalities
- accidents
- diphtheria, pertussis, morbilli
Government is escalating the immunization programme in order to
lower the morbidity rate for infants, which is also very high
(17.43%) compared to the morbidity rate of other age groups (data
1985/1986).
E. SOCIAL PROBLEM
I
According to the 1980 census there are 1.573. 182 people with
handicapped, of which 2 5 4.134 are children (about 15%). The
handicapped are divided into the blind, the deaf and dumb,
physical handicapped and the mental handicapped.
According to a survey by the Central Bureau of Statistics. 50% cf
the 69 institutions for the care of the handicapped arv: privately
run, which is in line with government policies, which would like
to see that the community looks after the handicapped. The
majority of these institutions look after the blind. More
institutions which care for the other kind? of handicap need to

THE INDONESIAN CHILD WELFARE FOUNDATION {ICfc'F) PROGRAM
I. BACKGROUND AND FRAME OF THOUGHTS
Indonesia as the fifth largest populated country of the world has
n si"ty-fivo million children under fifteen years of age. This is
rui enormous number, and it will for sure be of great value as a
11

potentian for the development of human resources for the country;
but in contrary it will become a big burden for further
development, when these children are being neglected in their
growth and development. .
As a developing country. Indonesia faces many problems of
rehabilitation, like to lower the infant mortality rate, school
drops-outs linked to child labour caused by economic conditions,
many social problems due to social c o n d i t i o n s , negative
influences caused by advanced communication technology, and later
in the group of young adults unemployment is a rising problem.
It is true that we are to deal with thfes repressive efforts,
\ar ve should not forger, to start on preventive steps, taking
care for the total development of the child of quality, mentally,
physically and socially. It is therefore needed to settle a frame
of thoughts, on efforts to take care of the development of the
children population io achieve a better generation, compatable
-Lth the future challenging world.
IT. PROBLEMS FACED
;. A growing population de-spit •= the family planning
programme,also migration of the population to the big
e i t i e s .
2 . Th(• he t orcgenous edlicationa 2 back g r c und and t h e multi
ethnics of the population is a factor that should be looked
into, to enhance fruitfull communication.
3. Lack of awareness and knowledge concerning the perception of
the concept of vhild welfare. Motivation, commitment and
self-reliance of the community is needed.

III. OBJECTIVES and HOPES
It is only when the community itself understands, commits
and is motivated to take part in care of the children population
towards a potential human resource can be achieved. 7 h e
objectives of the foundation is to cissininate the idea to
enhance a national movement on child welfare, so that the 2oais
of the development of country and nation will be achieved through
the development of human resources of quality, to face the future,
world, providing they also will be convinced executors for the
Faneasila philosophy.
I
:V. THE PHILOSOPHY and BASIC OUT-LINE OF THE PROGRAMME
In the community many organized groups have been developed,
taking care of child welfare activities. These organized croups
take the form of foundations, religious groups, functional
groups., parents associations, professional associations. women
organization and many others including individuals. But they
might be lacking in generating the total education concept of
care and development of the child. One-- '--c have this concept
settled, this has to be communicated, disseminated, t :> individuals
as well as organized units in the eomir.unity so that e\ery effort
in the community will enhance a synorgestio effect and will have
an optimal outcome as a whole.
Non-governmental organizations are there to accelerate the
efforts and achievements, to fill in the gaps, and is a good
vehicle for feed-back from the community to have improvements in
optimalizing child welfare programmes ir. quantity and quality.
Since there was not such a body specifically for child
welfare in 1979, when in the International Year of the Child was
held and many achievement has been reached by the national
committee, the Indonesian Child welfare Foundation was founded
and started to snow-ball the above ideas. And for reason
i 3

mentioned as in the background, the programme of the Foundation has
not been types of activities at grass-root level, but functioned
as a think-tank, communicator, information center, as well
as experience several studies or: child welfare.
1. As a think tank, the foundation in cooperation with other
multidiciplinary organizations contribute in basic concepts
as well as practical programme designs. This is further
passed on to the diverse bodies and forums like, e.g.
political forums, decision m a k e r s , the parliament,
executives, and community leaders.
2. As a communicator, to generate promotive actions done by the
foundation herself, as weir as by other organizations to
highlight certain issues of child welfare.
3. Making efforts^ to create ar. information network or. child
welfare at local, nasional , regional as well as
international level.
4. To contribute in studies of different impacts on child care
and development.
V. ACHIEVEMENTS
In particular considering that the media is an important
vehicle for transfer and communication of ideas, and to condition
the community to enhance self-motivation, the Indonesian Child
Keifare Foundation has made specific efforts on communication
aspects through the media.
In the first five years programme, the foundation has worked
hand-in-hand with the media to campaign for the importance of the
under-five children. A further effort in '934 when the Foundation
organized a National Conference on Child Welfare, a sateiite
seminar on media has been a r r an ged t o e nh a :ic 2 a be t t e r
