The Children, Social Welfare, and Health (CSWH) cluster plays a vital role in conducting extensive research on children in high-risk environments, along with various social welfare issues, encompassing gender studies and public health. This cluster not only advocates for gender mainstreaming, youth, and women empowerment but also addresses the challenges faced by refugees, migrants, and internally displaced persons affected by disasters.

At RDI, we are committed to enhancing our research in the domains of children, social welfare, and health, as evident in our outlined roadmap. Our current focus areas include Gender Equality and Social Inclusion (GESI), urban refugees, the global health crisis, and the well-being of children and youth. Additionally, the CSWH is actively engaged in flagship projects such as the Gender Sensitive Market Assessment for Potential Alternative Income Sources in Cocoa Communities, funded by Save the Children, and the Background Study for RPJMN, funded by Bappenas.

One Year Left to Achieve National Stunting Target: Can Indonesia Catch Up The Gap?

Global Health
2023
November
Five years have passed since the Indonesian Government launched a National Strategy to Accelerate Stunting Prevention (Stranas Stunting) in 2017 and targeted to reduce the stunting rate to 14% by 2024. However, the current stunting rate has not met the Government’s expected target. It is important to review what has been done to prevent and reduce stunting in Indonesia and identify areas for improvement to close the gaps.

Recurrence of Pandemics and the current COVID-19 Approach : Does Ecperience Matter

Global Health
2023
August
This article provides explanation regarding how countries approach and handle past pandemic situations such as H3N2, H5N1, Swine Flu, and Hong Kong Flu from prevention to protection, and responses done through best practices. This article examines the failure from countries in handling the COVID-19 Pandemics despite there having been best practices in handling Pandemic situations. Ranging from multi-sectoral unpredictability of pandemics, the question lies within whether experience matters or new unpredictable problems always shift the way countries approach Pandemic situations.

From Rising Temperatures to Rising TB Rates : How Climate Change is Distrupting the Fight Against Tuberculosis

Global Health
2023
August
Climate change poses a grave danger to public health, contributing to the emergence and worsening of diseases such as tuberculosis (TB). TB is a forgotten pandemic, causing the most death from a single infectious agent, particularly in low-income and underdeveloped nations. Climate change affect the TB burden by increasing bacterial growth, making the disease more likely to spread and develop antibiotic resistance, impacting food security and nutrition. The capacity of health systems, including access, equity, quality, and costs, is also threatened. Climate change increases migration risk, resulting in more vulnerable populations and increased TB incidence. The disadvantaged groups, including ethnic minorities, poor communities, migrants and displaced people, older people, women, and children, are the most affected. To eradicate tuberculosis by 2030, health systems need to be strengthened by implementing the End TB Pillars, building climate-resilient healthcare systems, strengthening healthcare workers’ capacities, and allocating resources for the displaced and marginalized communities.

Tuberculosis, The Disease of The Poor : How COVID-19 Worsens TB Social Determinats and Role of Community Health Workers in Solving It

Adaptive Social Protection (ASP)
2023
August
Tuberculosis (TB) is a global health burden that countries commit to ending through the adoption of the “2030 WHO’s End TB Strategy”. However, the emergence of COVID-19 has exacerbated the effect of poverty, as the main social determinant of TB, on the vulnerability of rural communities to TB infection and mortality. COVID-19 caused job losses and wage decline, worsening malnutrition, access to healthcare services, and stigma towards TB patients amongst people experiencing poverty. To address this, WHO encourages the implementation of a community-based intervention, which provides a people-centered TB care model. Community Health Workers (CHWs) are important in TB healthcare service, from prevention and diagnosis to treatment. However, lack of support, financial incentives, and COVID-19 physical restrictions hinder CHW healthcare delivery. Therefore, improving health financing mechanisms for TB, improving training and support systems for CHW, and mainstreaming Health-inAll-Policies are needed to strengthen community-based intervention.
