Plan International Indonesia has been operating in Indonesia since 1969, according to the Memorandum of Understanding with the Government of Indonesia. In 2017, Plan International Indonesia transformed into Yayasan Plan International Indonesia; registered by the Ministry of Law and Human Rights. This transformation aims to reach more children, especially girls in Indonesia.

Background

The Young Health Programme (YHP) is a global community investment initiative of AstraZeneca that has been implemented since 2010 in nine countries, including Indonesia. YHP is designed to address the growing burden of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) by focusing on prevention among young people aged 10–24. In Indonesia, YHP has been implemented by Yayasan Plan International Indonesia in partnership with Yayasan Lentera Anak (YLA) since 2021, with strong collaboration with schools, communities, health facilities, and government stakeholders.

YHP Indonesia applies a peer education (PE) approach, empowering adolescents and young people to become peer educators who share knowledge, facilitate discussions, and inspire behavior change among their peers. Through this approach, YHP has been able to reach young people in both schools and communities, creating a multiplier effect that extends beyond direct beneficiaries. By integrating interactive methods—such as games, spinwheels, quizzes, and creative media—YHP ensures that health promotion is not only informative but also engaging and youth-friendly.

The programme has four main objectives. First, to increase knowledge and capacity of young people on NCD prevention and risk factors, so that they are better equipped to make informed decisions about their health. Second, to inform and mobilize communities to create safe and supportive environments that enable healthy behaviors among youth. Third, to strengthen health services so they are more responsive and youth-friendly, ensuring that adolescents have better access to quality care. Fourth, to support laws and policies that promote health and prevent NCDs at national and sub-national levels. Together, these objectives represent a holistic, multi-sectoral strategy to improve health equity for Indonesian youth.

Over the five years of implementation, YHP Indonesia has educated more than 97,000 young people on the risks of tobacco, alcohol, unhealthy diet, physical inactivity, and air pollution. In addition, the programme integrates cross-cutting themes such as Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR), gender equality and social inclusion (GESI), and mental well-being. This comprehensive approach ensures that YHP addresses not only the physical determinants of health but also the social, cultural, and psychological factors that influence youth behavior.

The programme’s major activities include capacity-building for peer educators, roll-out sessions in schools and communities, collaboration with Puskesmas for training of health cadres, and creative youth-led campaigns such as Girls Take Over and youth health summits. YHP has also worked closely with platforms like Forum Genre, PIK-R, RPTRA, and Forum Anak to expand outreach and strengthen youth networks. Through these partnerships, YHP has helped to institutionalize peer education in schools and communities, embedding youth voices into health promotion.
