Complete ODF 2023, FBS Acceleration Real Work
The Bandung City Government (Pemkot) has again intensified the Open Defecation Free (ODF) program or Stop Open Defecation in all villages. Of the 151 sub-districts, the remaining 58 still do not have ODF status.
In order to complete this program, the Bandung City Government has established the Healthy Bandung Forum (FBS). Currently FBS is led by Yunimar Mulyana for the 2022-2025 period.
"We must immediately go down, walk, and involve the coaching team to complete these 58 urban villages, a minimum target of 80 percent," said Yuni, Thursday, October 6, 2022.
This FBS, Yuni added, is also one of the assessments of Healthy City from the provincial government. The city of Bandung is given time to achieve the target no later than January 2023.
"There are still four months left. We must immediately go to the field, we must prioritize the locus of 58 sub-districts. The plan is that in early November we can go to the field after designing all the work programs," he said.
The same thing was conveyed by the Daily Chair of FBS, dr. Rita Verita Sri. Rita said that to reach Bandung City 80 percent of ODF needs cooperation between stakeholders and related agencies that are included in the coaching team.
"There are 36 FBS management in total who will work in the 2022-2025 period. We will first make a work plan and time schedule. We will arrange how to go to the field in each kelurahan that has not yet reached ODF," explained Rita.
For now, he said, FBS will focus on resolving the ODF first. After that, they will work on other health programs such as stunting.
He explained, there are five points that will be focused on the implementation of a Healthy Regency/City in the near future.
1. The coaching team prepares a plan to increase the percentage of ODF by involving all relevant stakeholders.
The target for ODF fulfillment until January 2023 in urban villages throughout Bandung is at least 80 percent.
2. All regencies/cities throughout West Java in 2023 can participate in the implementation of Healthy Districts/Cities in a sustainable manner.
3. All OPDs that are the leading sectors related to the 9 Healthy Regency/City arrangements must immediately prepare supporting documents.
4. The coaching team together with the Healthy Regency/City Forum should update the SK of the coaching team and the forum as required by the laws and regulations, i.e. every three years, the SK is updated.
5. Regencies/cities may hold meetings with related leading sectors in preparation for the implementation of Healthy Districts/Cities in 2023 in the aspect of budgeting. (din)**
