 WHAT INDONESIA SHARES:
THE POSDAYA PARADIGM

the country. It is an advanced form from its predecesor, the POSYANDU. Where as
the POSYANDU is focused on enhancing health and welfare of mothers and children,
i.e. family planning, which include public education on health practice and nutrition.
POSDAYA carries that further to empower all family members and segments of the population and families towards welfare enhancement.
