Family Development Session of the Indonesian Family Welfare Program

Abstract

Poverty is a problem that occurs in many countries including Indonesia. Program Keluarga Harapan (Family Welfare Program/FWP) encourages the community to increase their purchasing power by providing cash, and improve the families' access to health and education services. Family Development Session (FDS) is one of activities in the FWP aiming at changing the family's mindset and behaviour about the importance of children's health and education for a better future. Based on literature research, this paper reviews how the FDS could motivate the families to improve their welfare and future to break the intergenerational poverty chain. The review suggests that the success of FDS relies on the content and the facilitators of the program in delivering the content to the families. The review recommends further investigation on the modules of the FDS activities.
