Strengthening Family Planning Services Through Better Provider Training
Insights from designing national family-planning training programs for midwives, OB/GYNs, GPs, and pharmacists across Indonesia.

Indonesia’s family planning landscape depends heavily on provider capacity. Over the past few years, I’ve helped design and manage national-level FP training programs covering:
- postpartum family planning
- medical eligibility criteria
- LARC counseling
- postabortion care
- adolescent reproductive health
Over 90+ trainers were deployed nationwide, supported by standardized curricula, tools, and digital learning modules.
