Vice versa, when the number of participation of family planning is less, then the level of poverty will be high, "he said when a speaker in the discussion yesterday.

The lack of this understanding, he continued, not because of the lack of public knowledge of family planning programs. Rather it resulted from a lack of public awareness level.

For example like first child get free school fees or eligible to register as civil servants.

This also applies only to the second child. As for the third child and so on, are usually charged when you want a list of schools. In addition to the first and second child is limited to entry in the registration of civil servants. While in us, the government did not issue a press tools like that earlier. Hence, the family planning program in penetrating difficult because we enter into one's rights. The main points in this problem is the firmness of the central and local governments, especially the head area in the district and city to menyelenggarakannya, "he explained.

Section Head Of Advocacy BKKBN West Java, Wawan Ridwan, explains, the lack of understanding of society is currently happening in urban areas.

noreply@blogger.com (jURNAL blog) — Fri, 5 Nov 2010 15:11:00 +0700

GARUT, Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is the responsibility of either private or state companies, as a form of social awareness of the surroundings, so then for this provision more clear then the state set about CSR is the fundamental law embodied in the few following Act or regulations this:

Law No. 19 of 2003 on State-Owned Enterprises; 6. Act. 40 of 2007 regarding Limited Liability Company; and 7. Act. 25 year 2007 concerning Capital Investment;, so everything has been set out clearly, as disclosed Agus Ridwan SH or familiarly called Agus "Joy", a member of the commission B Garut district legislature when met workroom.
According to Joy, as well as dikabupaten Garut Garut us or citizens can see how many private companies or states who fester in the district is abundant with natural resources, ranging from mining, agriculture, agribusiness, manufacturing, etc., so that later arriving investors ranging from small scale sampaim large scale, we can call, at any Chevron Garut, Indonesia, the Bank's Private Bank or the Government, Companies, Industries, etc., are all obliged to give to the environment surrounding especially CSR generally to the Garut district government.

  During this persolaan CSR in Garut district alone "Poek" (Dark) because we all do not know how the issuing Management in Garut district, how the value of CSR issued by each company annually, everywhere CSR is given, only the year 2010 alone Our year that Chevron has issued a CSR of 4 Billion annually, we also do not know the point of CSR is channeled anywhere, for any infrastructure Development, said Joy explains.

  Joy suggests, sehigga then need to be made "Multi Stake Holders Forum" which directly led by the Regent for all the problems mentioned above can be minimized, the main task of the forum itself will inventory how many companies that distribute it in Garut district, how much value their CSR annually, is used for what CSR and where they are distributed, so that later there is no duplication of aid in the disbursement of funds, the sample of cases, when the budget was word of a hammer, there is road construction in the village of A for example, road construction is funded from the budget, because of ignorance, then the company A channel CSR for road construction in the village A, this is called a duplication of roles, indeed all of that has not happened yet, but prevention efforts need to be done before all overdo it happened, and that is the function of that forum later.

  Joy Agustin add ideas to make this forum itself was inspired from a similar forum in Kutai regency in East Kalimantan, the first and only one of them in Indonesia, and already there are positive results, see the number of private companies / countries in Garut district, he sees the need for forum is immediately formed, chaired by Regent directly with members of the company that issued the CSR Company, with the Chief Executive of the Chamber of Commerce Garut, because the chamber is a container of all the good activities of construction services, infrastructure, SMEs, and so forth.
