| 9. What were the main obstacles encountered and how were they overcome?
|
|
The obstacles towards Universal Birth Registration and KIA program:
• Online registration system is not yet installed in all community health centers to facilitate registration at birth.
• Inability to capture movement of the population creating discrepancy on the population database
• Lack of mapping and monitoring system of unregistered children in particularly vulnerable children including children from parents with no legal identity
• Optimizing of KIA utilization and the low coverage of KIA especially for children from vulnerable group. This is because the limited number of business partners with the kind of service that is easily accessible and in accordance with the needs of children, especially vulnerable children.
To overcomes the above obstacles and challenges the Civil Registration Office will continue working with other Government Stakholders and partners to:
• Achieving universal birth registration for children 0-5 by establishing online registration system in all community health centers.
• Conduct comprehensive mapping involving PKK, Village Offices, Social Affair and NGOs who working for vulnerable children. Unregistered children need to be mapped to determine priority zones for registration services and therefore coordination with those parties needs to be reinforced to register all children.
• Amend the regulation to stipulate birth registration should be free of charge for all ages including for the late registration and to address the issue of undregistered children who have legal identity as Surakarta’s citizenship but already move outside the city without notice.
• Creating social network such as Facebook and Twitter, socialization in a website and youtube to disseminate information about Birth Registration Program including KIA
• Strengthening online registration through website and Whatsapp, pick up through mobile service and at school.
• Continuing working with Health, Education and Social Affair on exploring the integration of KIA with basic services for children such as health insurance and services, scholarship or education insurance, psychosocial support activities
