Strong local leadership is essential to translating public health commitments into sustainable action.

On 27 July 2026, TCI Jalin Indonesia joined the Launching of the 11th Posyandu 6 SPM in Limo District at the invitation of the City Government of Depok. The occasion also provided an opportunity to strengthen collaboration with city leaders as Depok prepares to implement The Challenge Initiative (TCI).

During the visit, Ita Rahma, Chief of Party of TCI Jalin Indonesia, met with Dr. H. Supian Suri, M.M., Mayor of Depok, to discuss the progress of TCI implementation and the city’s commitment to strengthening Family Planning and Reproductive Health (FP/RH) through stronger local leadership and institutional capacity.

The discussion highlighted the progress made to date through collaboration between DP3AP2KB Kota Depok and TCI Jalin Indonesia, including the completion of a landscape analysis, Collaborative Program Co-Design Workshop, and Master Training of Trainers (MTOT)—key milestones that have laid the foundation for implementation.

The Mayor also explored the program’s priorities, implementation areas, and expected outcomes. TCI Jalin Indonesia shared that the initial implementation focuses on strengthening family planning service quality, increasing community demand for FP services, and creating an enabling environment in Limo, Sukmajaya, and Cimanggis. The program ultimately aims to increase the uptake of modern contraception, particularly Long-Acting Reversible Contraceptive Methods (LARCs), through locally owned, evidence-based interventions.

As a strong demonstration of local commitment, the Mayor encouraged the Head of Limo District and relevant local government agencies present at the event to actively support the implementation of the collaboration between the City Government of Depok and TCI Jalin Indonesia.
