Remarkable gains have been made in sexual and reproductive health and rights since 1969, when UNFPA was established. But despite progress, hundreds of millions of women today still face economic, social, institutional and other barriers that prevent them from making their own decisions about whether, when, how often and with whom to become pregnant.

In 2018, UNFPA focused its work on supporting the Government of Indonesia to prepare the National Mid-Term Development Plan (RPJMN) 2020-2024. Several background papers, among others, on reproductive health/family planning, youth and adolescent sexual and reproductive health (ASRH), gender equality, and population-related issues, were produced as input for drafting the RPJMN.

The Government has assigned the 2005-2025 National Long Term Development Plan (RPJMN) and the 2015-2019 National Mid-Term Development Plan (RPJMN) a guide for the government in implementing national development. This document includes the latest population data and information to be used as a basis for determining development policies.
In addition to the developing population in the future, information on demographic parameters such as age structure, birth rate, mortality rate, and life expectancy are also important for accurate development planning. These information can be calculated through population projections.
The making of the 2015-2045 Population Projection book was carried out in collaboration between Bappenas, BPS, UNFPA and through discussions involving relevant agencies such as BKKBN, the Ministry of Health, and demographic experts.

In disaster situations, adolescents are vulnerable but they can also be agents of change. Adolescents have dynamic, highly motivated, energetic, creative and innovative characteristics. Based on these characters, adolescents should not only be targets but they can also be utilized as partners in health crisis response. The involvement of adolescents is needed, which includes helping the affected population, assisting in data collection, distribution of aid, volunteering in evacuation etc. In particular, adolescents can support the implementation of the Minimum Initial Service Package (MISP) for adolescent reproductive health in disaster situations (MISP for adolescents).
This handbook provides a detailed guide as to how adolescents can be engaged in health crisis responses to support the implementation of the MISP for adolescents. This includes information on youth involvement, types of activities and time of implementation, experience of youth involvement from other countries, youth networks that already exist in Indonesia as potential partners as well as tools for monitoring and evaluation.

In 2008, the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia developed a programme for reproductive health (RH) services in disaster situations which was then implemented throughout Indonesia. At that time, the implementation was based on the guideline on reproductive health in disaster situations, translated from the Inter-Agency Working Group (IAWG) on Reproductive Health in Crises international guideline.
Since 2014, the guideline has been adapted to suit Indonesia’s context with the publication of the Minimum Initial Service Package (MISP) for Reproductive Health in Crisis Situations. This MISP for RH guideline was developed based on field experiences and practices in the provision of reproductive health services in crisis situations from the tsunami that struck Aceh in 2004 until more recent disasters in 2017.
