Without them, interventions may miss local needs and budgets may be spread too thinly; local authorities, he says, should lead the action plans because they understand conditions on the ground.",
        "content": "<p>Manado (ANTARA) - Bonivasius Prasetya Ichtiarto, Deputy for\nPopulation Control at the Ministry of Population and Family\nDevelopment\/National Population and Family Planning Board\n(Kemendukbangga\/BKKBN), has stressed the importance of Population\nDevelopment Roadmaps (PJPK) for regional governments.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThrough the PJPK, we gain a comprehensive understanding of\npopulation conditions. It analyses these conditions using the\nPressure-State-Response-Impact (PSRI) approach, enabling regions to\nunderstand the root causes of problems and their solutions,\u201d Bonivasius\nsaid in Manado on Friday.<\/p>\n<p>The PJPK also helps determine data-based development priorities. With\nmeasurable population indicators, regional governments can set priority\nprogrammes according to the needs of their areas.<\/p>\n<p>The roadmap aligns policy across regional government departments.\nPopulation issues involve many sectors, including health, education,\npublic works, social affairs and employment, and the PJPK serves as a\nshared reference to make programmes more integrated.<\/p>\n<p>It can also help optimise regional budgets by directing funds towards\nprogrammes with the greatest impact on improving the quality of the\npopulation.<\/p>\n<p>Bonivasius said that failing to implement a PJPK could have several\nconsequences. Policies might miss their targets because the root causes\nof population issues had not been mapped comprehensively.<\/p>\n<p>Development priorities could also fail to reflect local needs or be\nbased on data, while interventions by different departments might\nproceed separately and lack coordination. Budgets could likewise be\nspread across initiatives without focusing on the interventions with the\ngreatest impact.<\/p>\n<p>Bonivasius gave the example of a region with relatively low poverty\nbut high unemployment. In such a case, the main priority should be\ntackling unemployment, rather than poverty.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLocal governments will draw up the action plans, not the central\ngovernment, because local governments know the conditions on the ground\nand how to carry out the plans,\u201d he added.<\/p>",
