Indonesian Reproductive Health NGOs: a directory

---

Noting Indonesia and the ASEAN region’s progress on several fronts, Ms. Yasukawa emphasized that improved partnerships are necessary for legislation, laws, policies and budgets for sustainable programmes that are rights-based and gender-sensitive, under the wider umbrella of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and its Sustainable Development Goals. Indonesia is currently witnessing a bulging youth population (aged 10-24 years), making up about 24% of the country’s 253 million total population, according to 2010-2025 Population Projections. Investing in young people’s education and health, including comprehensive SRH services and information, is imperative for both short-term and long-term productivity. The uneven access to education and the high rate of school drop-out among girls due to economic reasons and sociocultural beliefs are still an issue to address in some communities across this vast land. Strong SRH awareness and access to crucial services ensure the well-being of all young people, while education plays an essential role not only in improving competencies and expanding future opportunities for girls and boys alike, but also in helping end child marriage and early pregnancy that contribute significantly to maternal mortality.
