dc.description.abstract | The Child-Friendly Cities Program was issued by Regulation of the
Minister of Women's Empowerment and Child Protection of the Republic of
Indonesia Number 11 of 2011 concerning the Child-Friendly District/City
Development Policy. The Child-Friendly City Program is implemented to fulfill
the rights and protect children. However, there are still problems with the
implementation of the Child-Friendly Cities Program, namely: the lack of
completeness of data for making birth certificates because the community still
lacks knowledge about making birth certificates. There are still high numbers of
cases of malnutrition and under-five malnutrition, and supervision of smoking free areas is still weak. In this way, this study aims to describe the implementation
of the Child-Friendly City Program in creating child protection in Medan City
(Study on Cluster 1 Civil Rights and Freedom and Cluster 3 Basic Health and
Welfare).
The research method used is descriptive with a qualitative approach. Data
collection techniques were carried out through interviews, observation, and
documentation. The data obtained were then analyzed using the policy
implementation model by Edward III in which four factors influence the success of
policy implementation, namely: Communication, Resources, Disposition, and
Bureaucratic Structure.
The results showed that the implementation of the Child-Friendly City
program in creating child protection in Medan City has not gone well according
to the stated goals. On the communication factor, regular task force meetings are
held twice a year, socialization, and meetings of the head of the community health
centers are once a month. However, there has been no outreach to child friendly community health centers. Then the issuance of official letters such as
regulations and decrees. But supervision of smoke-free areas is still weak. In
terms of resources, the number of human resources available is sufficient and
educational backgrounds vary from high school to doctoral degrees. Owned
budget resources come from the Regional Revenue and Expenditure Budget.
However, the budget related to child health which supports child-friendly health
centers and the construction of special smoking areas is still minimal. While the
quantity of equipment resources is relatively adequate. It's just that most of them
have suffered heavy damage. In the disposition factor, there is participation, such
as procuring socialization, creating innovations to accelerate the issuance of
birth certificates, socializing the fulfillment of child nutrition, and providing
additional food. However, this program is not yet known by the community and
the community's response to smoking-free areas is still being rejected. In terms of
bureaucratic structure, there are Standard Operating Procedures in issuing birth
certificates and handling child nutrition. | en_US |
