Abstract
Makassar government?s efforts in population control, family planning, and family development at the level of field lines or neighborhood community is the implementation of lorong KB program which was conducted since 2015. This research aims to evaluate the implementation of lorong KB program by exploring its inputs, activities/processes, outputs, and outcomes. This study was a qualitative research using case study approach and the data were collected by in-depth interview, FGD, observation, and document review from three areas of Lorong KB at Tallo Sub-District. Information were obtained from staffs of related offices, community leaders, cadres, and fertile couples. The results showed that the input component was not equally optimal on each area because the number of family planning field officers was not yet enough, there was not budget by purposely, and the self-funding of the community only focused on the physical appearance of the Lorong KB area. However, the other operational facilities had been fulfilling through the KB mobile car. Process/activity component showed that Tribina group has been formed on each area and only Lorong KB Pannampu has formed the working group. Family planning service indicators have been met through health care providers and KB mobile car. Based on output component, only lorong KB Pannampu has reached three out of four indicators. The outcome component showed that knowledge, attitudes, and participation of fertile couples on the activities of lorong KB are still dominated by WUS/wife groups. The wives knew family planning?s concept and methods as well as the side effects of contraception, while the husband group only knew some of it. Family planning participation on the use of contraception was only implemented by the wife. In spite of that, the husband?s group continues to provide support and wive?s autonomy to choose the method. Most of the acceptor have used the contraception before the lorong KB existed.
