Abstract

The existence of Posyandu as a means to provide the society with basic health services such as minimizing or lowering the number of mother and child death has been well received by the society and perceived as beneficial. Unfortunately, not all Posyandus can meet the expectation of the society in terms of the provision and the quality of the services due to internal and external factors. This research is to review the supporting and inhibiting factors which influence Posyandu s performance. The study was exploratory in nature and was conducted in three villages in Mergangsan Sub-district of Yogyakarta. The data were collected using interviews, observations, documents and focus-group discussion (FGD) and were analyzed qualitatively. The results of research reveal that the factors supporting the performance ofposyandu are the participation of the society, endorsement and support from the members and management of the family welfare program (PKK), the support or facilities from the government and other stakeholders. The inhibiting factors are the ineffectiveness of regeneration process at the village level, the ignorance or lack of awareness from the upper middle class of the, the citizen forums have little or no concern on the development program that has been held by the women and the lack of government appreciation for the social workers running the Posyandus. The performance of the Posyandus can be improved or revitalized by increasing the numbers of skilled young social workers, the socialization of the Posyandu programs and the involvement of men in the Posyandu s activity as well as the increasing the budget to finance the Posyandu's services.
