On 15 August 2022, state-owned Radio Merapi FM in Boyolali aired the first in a series of weekly talk shows aimed at educating the public on the Alert Village program and gain their support. For five weeks, the program will discuss CSOs’ organizational development and ability to hold local government accountable, improving MCH care at community health centers (Puskesmas), replicating the Alert Village program, the importance of community-based participation, and private sector support for MCH services. Guests will include senior local government officials, civil society representatives, front-line service providers, and private sector representatives. The government hopes that the radio talk show will encourage more citizens to participate in reducing the mortality rate among mothers and children.
