Summary: 

DKT Indonesia helps decrease infant and maternal mortality and lower HIV infection rates by training and working with midwives and increasing the use of contraception in Indonesia.

Key program components: 

DKT-Indonesia has developed an especially strong network of midwives, the key providers of reproductive health services for the lower income and rural segments of Indonesia society. Working together and through central, regional, and provincial midwife associations, DKT-Indonesia directly reaches an estimated 15,000 midwives monthly through franchises and other venues, providing materials, technical support, and products.

DKT-Indonesia tracks the ratio of sales revenues in relation to core program costs. Core program costs are defined as total operational expenses minus the behavior change activities of training, education, and marketing. Based on this calculation, DKT-Indonesia's sustainability was almost 100 percent in 2009.

In 2009, DKT-Indonesia sold over 93 million condoms, over 16 million oral contraceptives, and over 10 million injectable contraceptives. In addition, DKT sold about 130,000 IUDs and over 3,000 manual vacuum aspiration kits. This translates into 5,196,197 CYPs, an 11 percent increase over last year.

Program history: 

DKT-Indonesia became an independent non-governmental social marketing organization in 1996. Over the past five years, the program has expanded dramatically, and it now serves over 5 million couples throughout the Indonesian archipelago.
