INTRODUCTION 1.01 The Indonesian economy has performed remarkably well during the past decade. Gross national product (GNP) grew at 8% per year on average and GNP per capita reached US$520 in 1981, placing Indonesia in the ranks of middle-income countries for the first time. The benefits of economic growth have been widely spread reaching all segments of the population, including the lowest income groups. The achievements in raising the well-being of Indonesians can be attributed in part to concerted Government efforts in several related and inter-dependent areas: basic education, population control, nutrition and health. 1.02 Access to primary education has increased dramatically and uni- versal enrollment has now virtually been realized. The adult literacy rate rose from 39% in 1960 to 62% in 1976. The national family planning program was vigorously pursued and has contributed to a rapid decline in fertility. The birth rate fell at an average annual rate of 1.4% during the 1970s, a rate more rapid than the average for developing countries. Agriculture and nutrition programs and policies have been successful in increasing the levels of food output and consumption and in facilitating access to a broad range of nutrition services. Significant progress has also been made in improving the health status of the population. Between 1969 and 1980 life expectancy rose from 47 years to 53 years, and the infant mortality rate declined from about 140/1000 live births to about 93/1000, an improvement that is 50% greater than the average for all low-income countries. 1.03 This progress notwithstanding, life expectancy is still low and mortality rates are still high in comparison with those in countries with similar income levels. Some diseases have been eradicated or reduced, yet many others of an infectious or parasitic nature remain. Morbidity patterns in the rural areas have not changed significantly over the past decade. Protein-calorie malnutrition is still widespread, affecting an estimated 30% of children under 5 years of age. Furthermore, while the GOI has now largely succeeded in its objective of establishing the infrastructure of a system capable of delivering basic health services nationwide, the system's effectiveness remains limited by a low level of public confidence in the services provided. This lack of confidence is attributed to a poor quality of health care at the primary level and a failure to develop an effective referral system that permits the rural hospitals to support and lend professional credibility to the primary network. 1.04 To redress this situation, the GOI has embarked upon a massive expansion in its social development programs. Its commitment to reducing the present high rate of population growth (2.3% in 1980) and to improving the health and nutritional status of the population is strong. An ambitious target has been set to reduce the 1971 fertility level by 50% by 1990. Achievement of this target will be supported by health and nutrition pro- grams focussed on maternal and child care. The GOI objectives for the year 2000 also include raising life expectancy to at least 60 years and to reducing the infant mortality rate to 45/1000, and reducing the protein- calorie malnutrition in the under-five age group to 10%. To achieve these targets, the GOI has shifted the focus of its health policies and programs from further expansion of the health network to improving service utiliza- tion and effectiveness. To facilitate implementation of such policies, responsibility for planning and implementing health programs is progressive- ly being shifted to the provinces. To this end, GOI is building up planning and technical capacity at the provincial and district levels. 1.05 The international
