Family Planning -- Keluarga Berencana

ABSTRACT
The increase in the Special Allocation Fund (DAK) for Family Planning (FP) each year reflects the
government's efforts to strengthen population control and family planning programs at the
regional level. However, disparities in the achievement of modern contraceptive prevalence rates
(mCPR) remain across regions. This study aims to analyze the relationship between FP-related
DAK, both physical DAK and Operational Assistance for Family Planning (BOKB), and the
prevalence of modern contraceptive use in Indonesia. The authors analyzed data from 508
districts/cities receiving FP-related DAK from 2012 to 2021, using secondary data sourced from
the Ministry of Finance, BKKBN, and BPS. This study adopted the Kunatitati approach with the
Panel-Instrumental Variable (Panel-IV) method, where the Construction Cost Index served as the
instrumental variable. The estimation results reveal that physical FP-related DAK is not
significantly associated with an increase in modern contraceptive prevalence rates. Conversely,
BOKB has a positive and significant association with the improvement of mCPR. These findings
highlight the importance of allocating strategic budgets to BOKB programs to achieve effective
population control objectives. The government is expected to ensure the sustainable allocation of
FP-related DAK, particularly BOKB, to districts/cities. Regular monitoring and evaluation of FP-
related DAK management are essential to ensure that funds are well-utilized, timely, and oriented
toward achieving performance outcomes.
