Abstract

Active participation of men in family planning programmes is still low, at less than 5%. Similarly, there was a significant decline in Central Java in 2019 during the Covid-19 pandemic. This study aims to provide an overview of the percentage of active male participation in family planning programmes in Central Java in 2018-2020. Data collection uses secondary data, namely data from the Central Java Provincial Statistics Agency for 2018-2020. The data was processed using Excel to get a percentage with the following formula: n = (value 1/comparator value) * 100%. Value 1 is the number of male family planning participants (condoms and vasectomy), the comparison value is the number of PUS participating in active family planning. Results: the percentage at the Central Java Province level has decreased from 3.4% in 2018 to 3.1% in 2020. Regarding the percentage of male family planning participants in districts and cities in Central Java in 2018, the highest percentage was 13.34% in Surakarta City and the lowest was 0.60% in Brebes Regency. In 2019, the highest percentage was Surakarta City at 5.97% and the lowest was Brebes Regency at 0.33%. In 2020, the highest percentage was in Magelang city at 15.54% and the lowest was Brebes district at 0.90%. Conclusion: In general, the percentage of active male participation in family planning in Central Java is still low. It is necessary to intervene in districts or cities where the percentage is still below 5%.
