FOREWORD

Drug abuse and drug trafficking have become a serious problem,

leaving no country untouched. Indonesia is currently faced a much more

serious illicit drug problem than ever before. It was traditionally been a
transit country, but in recent years, Indonesia has increasingly become a point
of destination for illicit drug trafficking and a producer of synthetic drugs as
evidently shown by the number of seizures of clandestine laboratories for

h
ecstasy and methamp etamine hydrochloride (Shabu), some of which are

known to be the world's largest drug laboratories. We are also faced with the
challenge to fight against transnational crime and drug syndicates, who use
the benefits of globalization to traffic in illegal drugs, launder money, engage
in terrorism and human trafficking.

Since 1971, the Government of Indonesia has addressed the drug

problem seriously through a Coordinating Agency known as BAKOLAK
Inpres 611971. But in view of the increasing problem of drug abuse and illicit

trafficking which caused a threat to the social, economic, political and

cultural fabric of our nation, the National Narcotics Coordinating Board

(NNCB) was established and later renamed National Narcotics Board (NNB)
in 2002, this time with both coordinating and operational mandate, to meet

the urgent need to intensify drug prevention and control efforts. One of its
tasks is to coordinate and manage drug control programs including
prevention of drug abuse. Extensive efforts will continue to be made by our
Government at all levels to suppress the illicit production, trafficking and use
of drugs through enhanced unified response of all related government and
non-government organizations together with the community to ensure that

the drug problem is effectively tackled.

It is hoped that the book would contribute to the understanding of the

work the National Narcotics Board is committed to.

FOREWORD

The primary goal of the National Narcotics Board, Center for

Drug Prevention, is to prevent illicit drug use among Indonesian youth.
The National Narcotics Board, formerly known as National Narcotics
Coordinating Board (NNCB) was established by Presidential Decree
Number 1 1 3 of 1999. In 2002, it was renamed National Narcotics
Board (NNB) based on Presidential Decree No. 1 7, 2002, this time
with coordinating and operational mandate. The youth are the major
target ofprevention because illicit drug use is most common among the
ages 1 5 to 30 above. Alcohol, tobacco, ganja are the drugs that young
people usually try first and are known as gateway drugs leading to the
use of other illicit drugs.

The challenge is to have the community people unite against

drugs. To meet this challenge, a variety of prevention strategies,
approaches and programs are of utmost importance to mobilize all
related sectors to join the fight against drugs. Parents, families, media,
schools, religious institutions, workplaces and the youth themselves
must be brought together to develop an effective systems approach to
fight the war against illicit drugs among youth in their communities.

This book is written to document and put together a large number

of relevant drug abuse prevention programmes of the National
Narcotics Board, Drug Prevention Center and to share information on
drug prevention practices in a more organized and practical manner.

PREFACE

This book on the National Narcotics Board Prevention

Programmes and Strategies is basically a compilation of prevention
initiatives undertaken by the Indonesian National Narcotics Drug
Control Board and its members since its inception in 2000,
highlighting significant and relevant prevention programmes and
initiatives. Recognizing the rapid development and progress of drug
prevention initiatives in Indonesia over the years, BNN decided to
review, document and put together a large number of relevant drug
abuse prevention programmes including highlights of some lessons
learned from the initiatives.

The overall aim of this book is primarily to share information on

drug prevention practices in a more organized and practical manner
and to serve as a handy reference and resource materials for policy
makers, planners and practitioners working in the field of drug abuse
prevention.

It is hoped that this book will be useful in developing and

implementing effective prevention practices in the future.

DRUG PRODUCTION

Traditionally, Indonesia has not been a major producer of illicit drugs,

except for cannabis (marijuana) known as ganja, which has been
illegally cultivated in on the Island of Java and Sumatra particularly in
remote areas ofAceh, mainly for domestic consumption.

Domestic Illicit Ganja Traffic King Route

Illicit Production of ATS in Indonesia. Of increasing concern is the
production of synthet ic drugs, specifical ly ecstasy and
methamphetamine (shabu) in the late 1 990s with three laboratories for
psychotropic substances were seized in 1998 and two in 1 999 (one for
ecstasy and the other for methamphetamine). In 2000, a laboratory
producing ecstasy pills was discovered in Batam, and in 200I a
laboratory producing chemicals for ecstasy production was raided. In
April 2002, a large laboratory producing ecstasy through chemical
processes based on precursor chemicals was seized in West Java and
dubbed as "one of the world's largest drug laboratories.". Illicit
production of Amphetamine-Type Stimulants continues to grow in
Indonesia as evidently shown by several seizures of large, modem,
laboratories located in or near large cities within the year (2005) . In
April 8, 2005, a large laboratory was seized in Jasinga Village, Bogor
regency with a total production of3.780.000 ecstasy tablet per month.
A month later on May 16, 2005, a large laboratory was seized in
Tanjung Duren District, West Jakarta, with a capacity to produce 2
ecstasy tablet per second. On Nov. II, 2005, a laboratory was seized
in Serang, Banten, West Java with a capacity to produce ecstasy of I 00
kg. per week.

GOVERNMENT RESPONSES TO DRUG

PROBLEMS

The problem of illicit drugs in Indonesia has been acknowledged by the

Government of lndonesia for years and has always been accorded high
priority. Aware of the complexity of the drug problem and the wide
range of adverse health and social consequences, the Government of
Indonesia maintains its "balanced approach" to drug control,
incorporating all aspects of drug control in supply and demand
reduction, with prevention of drug abuse together with treatment and
rehabilitation having the same importance of policy and strategic
action as reduction of supply and illicit trafficking. It also recognizes
that drug problem is not just a government problem but a community
problem as well which therefore needs joint community and
government response.

The National Narcotics Board, Indonesia.

Recognizing the rising trend of the drug problem and its serious threat
to national stability and economic development, the National
Narcotics Coordinating Board (NNCB) of lndonesia was established
in 1 999, in accordance with Presidential Decree Number 1 13 of 1 999,
replacing a BAKOLAK INPRES No. 6/1971 which was no longer
relevant and effective in addressing the current national drug problem.
In March 2002, the NNCB was reshaped and renamed National
Narcotics Board (NNB) in accordance with Presidential Decision No.
1 7/2002, this time with more operational role given in addition to the
already established coordinating functions. The vision of the National
Narcotics Board of Indonesia is to achieve a drug-free Indonesia
through demand and supply reduction supported by human resource
development, research, and regional and international cooperation.
BNN, which is directly under the President of the Republic of
Indonesia, is chaired by the national police chief, supported by 25
ministries and agencies as its members, with BNN's executive director
as the secretary-general. BNN impressive executive management is
composed of four main centers: Prevention, Law Enforcement,
Treatment and Rehabilitation and Research Development and
Information, supported by about eight (8) task forces and the recently
established Provincial Narcotics Boards District and Municipal
Narcotics Board headed by the Provincial Governor and City
Mayor/Municipal Chief, respectively.

DRUG PREVENTION POLICIES AND

PRINCIPLES

The primary goal of the National Narcotics Board, Drug Prevention

Center, is to prevent drug use among Indonesia's young people. The
youths have been targeted because drug abuse in Indonesia is
predominantly a youth problem. Majority of the drug users in
Indonesia are between the ages of l 5-30.

Effective prevention strategies begin with an understanding of the

many reasons why young people start to use drugs. Without an
understanding of the reasons why young people use drugs, prevention
programs become a "hit and miss" activity. One approach considered
is the psycho-social model which indicates three basic elements in the
use of any drug : (I) the substance or drug, (2) the individual who uses it
and (3) the socio-cultural context in which drug use takes place. This
is based on the premise that drug abuse problem emerges from
pressures on the individual due to deviancy in social structures such as
the family, the neighborhood or community, the peer group, the school,
and the workplace.

An understanding of the underlying reasons on drug abuse has guided

the NNB Prevention Center to a targeted prevention approaches and
strategies including prevention policies :

Prevention Policies in Indonesia

• Since drug abuse is caused by multiple factors, a comprehensive

systems approach to prevention should be adopted, with schools,
workplaces, media, religious institutions, public and private
sectors, legal and judicial systems and families, working
together.
• Prevention activities should be integrated into existing
organizations and institutions such as families, schools, and
communities to ensure that interventions begin early and
continue through the life cycle.

• Prevention is a shared responsibility among national, provincial

and local levels and that specific programs are best done at
community levels. Grassroots ownership and responsibility are
the key elements in the planning, implementation and evaluation
ofprevention programmes

• Prevention program should use a variety of prevention activities

and approaches to accomplish its goals and objectives, to include
information, education, skills development for youth,
alternatives, community participation and training. Appropriate
emphasis should be placed on human resource development
aimed at increasing professional competence through training
and education of policy makers, programme planners and
practitioners in all aspects of the design, execution and
eva! uation ofprevention programmes and strategies.

NNB TARGETS OF PREVENTION EFFORTS

Prior to the establishment of the National Narcotics Board in 2002,

drug prevention programmes were generally isolated and sporadic
with information dissemination on the dangers of drugs as the most
dominant strategy. Since 2002, increased attention has been given to
the issue of drug prevention as the key component of demand reduction
in Indonesia and adopted the motto: "Prevention is Better than Cure".

In 2002, the National Narcotics Board formulated its drug prevention

plan in which this time to include a wide variety of programs with more
diverse and comprehensive prevention strategies focusing on varied
factors that contribute to drug use by youth. Prevention strategies are
as follows:

• Strategies focused on the Individual

• Strategies focused on the Peer Group
• Prevention through Family-based strategies
• Prevention through School-based strategies
• Prevention through Workplace-based strategies
• Prevention through Community-based strategies
• Mass media approaches to prevention

The National Narcotics Board Prevention Center also considered the

goals and targets that emerged from the 1 998 UNGASS Declaration on
the Guiding Principles of Drug Demand Reduction which in brief calls
for action in assessing the drug problem based on regular assessment of
the nature and magnitude of drug use and abuse and drug-related
problems in the population; tackling the problem through demand
reduction programmes which cover all areas of prevention, from
discouraging initial use to reducing the negative health and social
consequences of drug abuse and should embrace information,
education, public awareness, early intervention, counseling,
treatment, rehabilitation, relapse prevention, aftercare and social
reintegration; forging partnerships among governments, non­
government organizations, parents, teachers, health professionals,
youth and community organizations, employers' and workers'
organizations and the private sector.

The national drug prevention plan likewise integrates the actions urged
by the ACCORD Plan of Action Task Force I, which encourage
participating countries to urgently enhance national public awareness
and understanding of the drug problems through the designing of
public communication strategy and community outreach programmes;
prioritize areas for social partnership in response to the dangers of
drugs; encourage media to share burden in awareness building; to raise
private sector and corporate advocacy.

Strategies Focused on Young People

The Indonesian youths are the main target of NNB drug prevention
programs primarily because drug abuse in Indonesia is predominantly
a youth problem.
Survey of 13, 7 1 0 student respondents indicate that 6.08% of total
student population had tried drugs at least once in their lifetime with
age group 30 above having the highest percentage (30%) followed by
ages 2 1 -25 ( 1 9.4%), then ages 1 6-20 (8. 7%) and 1 1 -15 years old (2.45
%).

Several prevention strategies have been undertaken to address the

rising trend of drug abuse among Indonesian youth such as information
dissemination for young people, enhancement of Life skills Program,
and drug prevention education in schools.
Information Dissemination for Young People. Factual information
program is considered one component of NNB's comprehensive
prevention program. This strategy focuses on changing individual's
knowledge, attitudes and behavior primarily to discourage young
people to take drugs. The recent program ofNNB designed to influence
the individual is providing factual information highlighting risks and
associated consequences of drug use. This program assumes that
individuals use drugs because they Jack factual information regarding
harmful effects.

Enhancement of Life skills Program. This program is generally

implemented in the schools primarily to improve the social skills of
young people. Decision-making, communication skills, assertiveness
skills training and training to resist peer pressure (Say No to Drugs) are
parts of this program. The "Say No to Drugs" strategy is a peer
resistance strategy that teaches students, through practice, various
ways of getting out of situations involving peer pressure. This strategy
is now being taught in schools by trained teachers

 Strategies Focused On Peer Group

Peer influences play an important role in young people's decision to use

illicit drugs. Research findings in Indonesia indicate that peer pressure
is known to be the main reason for initiation into the use of drugs like
alcohol, cigarette, and marijuana. Accordingly, a number of strategies
have been developed that attempt to counter the influence of peer
pressure.

Peer Groups Against Drugs

BNN in cooperation with the schools and universities initiated drug

prevention programs such as "peer education" whereby peers can be
used to talk to students on the dangers of illicit drug use primarily to
encourage students to support abstinence from drugs.
Schools and universities organized, encouraged and support student
groups, clubs and/or organizations, that support non-use of drugs.

do not use drugs, generally through the NNB monthly magazine or in
person.

Celebrities, including actors and actresses as effective advocates of

prevention efforts. Many celebrities who have not experienced drug
problems are encouraged by BNN to get involved in drug prevention as
good role models and as spokespersons.

Family Based Prevention Strategies

The family is considered the basic social institution and the primary
group in a society. One of the functions of a family is to protect and
ensure the child's well being. It is the task of the parents to provide the
young's physical and psychological needs. The parents play the roles
of protector, provider and guardian of the young. From the family, the
child gets security, affection, guidance, and learns the values of
sympathy, love, cooperation, respect and many other virtues.
The family is also the chief agency for socializing the child. It
transmits the culture of the group, family values and the patterned
ways oflife. However an unfavorable and unhappy home environment
may push the child to resort to negative behaviors which may
eventually lead to drug abuse.

Mothers in the neighborhood attending parenting education during their monthly

lottery savings clubs (arisan)
Parenting Education. One of the major prevention programs of the
National Narcotics Board Prevention Center initiated recently is
Parenting Education. The primary reason for this program is that the
family is the first line of defense against drugs. But the family can
either influence or prevent children to use drugs depending upon the
family situation. As the first socializing agent, the child learns good
values and examples of good behavior that can help prevent the child
from resorting to drugs. It can be said that a healthy and happy family
has actually started drug prevention. However, an unfavorable and
unhappy home environment may push the child to take drugs. It is
therefore essential for parents to have the necessary knowledge and
skills on parenting and prevention. Parenting education experience
indicates that if parents are informed, motivated and given support,
they have a better-than-average head start in ensuring their children's
physical and emotional well-being. Parents need knowledge about
drugs so that they are armed to have discussions with their children in
practical and useful way.

Parenting education program aims to drug proof children and youth

through enhancement of parents' knowledge and skills on good
parenting and drug prevention and to make a drug free lifestyle a major
childrearing goal. To attain this goal, several strategies are initiated as
follows:

Strategy I. Drug information to parents. Informing parents on the

magnitude of the drug problem and to know the basic facts about illicit
drugs, including the effects of drugs, their street names, how they look
like, how they are consumed and the common warning signs of illicit
drug use.

Strategy 2. Educate parents on developing skills for establishing a

strong family relation through effective communication, enhancing
children's self-esteem, and developing strong values.

Strategy 3. Educate and encourage parents to apply prevention

strategies at home such as establishing clear family rules, being a
good role model, providing healthy and creative activities for children,
and helping children resist peer pressure.

Learning packages were developed to facilitate teaching-learning

process and as a ready reference for trainers in their future training and
education of parents at the village level. These learning packages are
as follows :
• Nature and extent ofdrug abuse problem
• Specific parents' roles in drug prevention
- Parents as good role models
- Parents as drug educators
- Parents as rule setters
- Parents as monitors and supervisors
• Effective Parenting Skills

It is well recognized that the most valuable asset to the country is its
school youth. However, they arc also the most vulnerable group to
various types of social problems. Several factors in the school system
can influence school youth to take dmgs to escape from problems such
as the peer group, ineffective teaching, inadequate school facilities,
and lack ofpositive alternative activities.

Schools can provide an important setting for prevention. Some

prevention programs and initiatives that have been initiated by the
schools are:

Dmg information and education through integration of dmg

prevention in the school curriculum and co-curricular activities;
Clear policies regarding use and possession of drugs on and off
school property.
Positive peer programs to help students as role models,
 Peer resistance programs to offer young people a way to resist
the peer pressure to use drugs.
- Comprehensive health education programs to increase students'
knowledge about their own health.
- Training ofteachers in drug prevention

The Ministry of Education and Drug education. The Ministry of

Education, an NNB member, is the leading sector in drug prevention
education in schools and universities. Drug education is integrated in
the school curriculum and co-curricular activities. Drug education is
described as lessons, programmes, activities and practices that lead to
the achievement of learning outcomes that relate to drug abuse
prevention and control among individuals and in communities.

Many of the elementary and junior high schools have now integrated
drug prevention education in health and physical education
(Penjaskes) curriculum, focusing primarily on good health and healthy
lifestyle such as proper nutrition, balance living, protection against
diseases, and the proper use of drugs. In the Junior and Senior High
School, in addition to good health and healthy lifestyle, information
about the various types of drugs, their effects and their health
consequences together with Life Skills such as communication,
decision-making, and life Skills programs are added to offer school
children and youth a way to resist peer pressure to use drugs

Clear policies regarding use and possession of drugs on and off

school property The Ministry of Education has formulated a drug-free
school policy and eventually all elementary, junior and senior high
schools and universities, both government and private, established
specific rules regarding drug use in recent years, to include prevention,
treatment and disciplinary measures. School policies specifically state
that drug use, possession, and/or sale in schools are prohibited with the
consequences for violating the school policy such as suspension,
notification ofpolice, and expulsion from school.

Positive peer programs in schools. Several high school and

university students as well as youth groups in the community have
established and trained student groups as peer educators or peer leaders
to promote and endorse drug-free programs. Training modules have
been developed for this purpose.

Prevention experts from various universities and organization
throughout Indonesia met with national prevention experts to

Life Skills programs to offer young people a way to resist the peer
pressure to use drugs. Beginning of2002, the Ministry of Education
in cooperation with the National Narcotics Board embarked on social
competence skills in drug prevention in addition to the on-going
cognitive based approaches in public schools. It started by training
trainers composed of senior high school teachers on the skills and
knowledge in enhancing personal and social competence related to
preventing drug abuse, and are expected to train other teachers in their
respective provinces.

Provision of training for teachers about drugs, prevention

strategies and teaching appropriate techniques on drug
prevention.

Teachers of drug prevention must be well-informed and must possess

a level of basic knowledge and skills to be an effective facilitator of
learning and to be able to establish credibility as sources of drug

information. Hence the need for training. BNN and the Ministry of
Education have been training teachers and trainers on practical skills
and knowledge in the area of drug prevention, methods of teaching,
and the acquisition ofknowledge and skills to teach social skills which
includes skills for building self esteem, resisting pressures,
communicating effectively, making decisions and dealing assertively
with social situations.

Training for elementary, junior and senior high school teachers has
been launched since 2003 and so far three training programmes have
been conducted by BNN Drug Prevention Center from 2003-2005
with a total of262 trained teachers' trainers throughout Indonesia. It is
expected that these trained trainers will train trainers' in their respective
provinces.

Workplace Based Drug Prevention Strategies

Studies have shown that majority of the drug abusers are in their
productive years and gainfully employed. In Indonesia, sixty-four
(64%) of drug abusers are employed and majority worked in private
companies or as entrepreneurs. The economic and human costs of
drug abuse are astounding, costing businesses billions of dollars
annually in lost productivity and health care costs. Estimate of
economic and social cost ofdrug abuse in Indonesia in 2004 was about
Rp.23,6 trillion.

The International Labor Organization and the World Health

Organization reported some of the effects of the of drug abuse on the
workplace as follows:

Accidents
• Up to 40 percent ofaccidents at work involve or are related to alcohol use.
• Drug-using workers are more likely to be involved in an accident at work than
workers who do not use drugs.
Absenteeism
• Drug-using or heavy-drinking workers are more likely than other workers to
be absent without permission
• Drug-using or heavy drinking workers are absent from work more often than
other workers
• Drug-using or heavy drinking workers are more likely than other workers to
have absences ofeight days or more.
Tardiness
• Drug-using or heavy-drinking workers are more likely to arrive at workplace
and leave early than other workers.
Strains on co-workers
• Increased workload to compensate for drug-using or heavy-drinking workers
• Higher safety risks due to intoxication, negligence and impaired judgment of
drug-using or heavy drinking workers.
• Disputes and grievances
 • Lost time leading to decreased productivity
• Intimidation and trafficking in illicit drugs atthe worksite
• Violence
o Theft
• Workers1 Compensation Costs
• Drug-using or heavy drinking workers are more likely to file a workers'
compensation claim than other workers.
Output
• Both intoxication and post-use impainnent (11hangover effect") impact the
following functions, which are relevant to work performance.
• Reaction time (reactions are slower)
• Motor perfonnance (clumsy movements and poor coordination)
0 Sight (blurred vision)
0 Mood (aggression or depression)
• Learning and memory (loss ofconcentration)
o Intellectual performance (impairment oflogical thinking

The International Labor Organization (ILO) has found that if

workplace substance abuse prevention programmes are properly
developed and implemented, they are good for both employees and
workers. As with other programmes addressing employee's health,
safety and well-being, they are a "win-win' proposition. The drug
prevention programmes not only result in a healthier workforce, but
also contribute to improved worker morale, a positive enterprise image
in the community and increased enterprise productivity.

The advantages of workplace substance abuse initiatives are as

follows:

• Workplace programmes have the potential to reach the entire

working population, from youth to mature adults
• The workplace mirrors the substance abuse problems of the
community. No workplace is immune.
• In the workplace, the target group for the prevention campaign is

DRUG [Link] STRATEGIES

\
NATIONAL NARCOTICS BOARD INDONESIA
�-f,;.,:,_�-...

a captive audience
• The workplace is an effective location for intervention and for
providing support to workers who are experiencing problem of
substance abuse. Continued employment is a strong incentive
and reliable support for successfully overcoming problems of
abuse.
• The greatest potential for reducing alcohol-and drug- related
workplace injury exists outside the medical context of hospitals
and clinics, because most accidents involve workers who are not
yet dependent on alcohol or drugs, and would not, therefore, be
in treatment.

The International Labor Organization, concerned with the damaging

effects of drug abuse in workplaces, adopted a resolution in 1 987
urging employers, labor organizations and governments to develop and
implement constructive prevention and treatment responses to drug
problems in the work setting. In 1 996, ILO developed the Code of
Practice "Management of alcohol-and drug-related issues in the
workplace" primarily to promote the prevention, reduction and
management of problems related to alcohol and other drugs in the
workplace. It is within this framework that the ILO recommends to
governments and employers' and workers ' organizations to develop
and implement workplace substance abuse programmes.

The Ministry of Manpower and Transmigration and BNN,

Indonesia

The welfare ofworkers, employees as well as employers at workplace

in Indonesia is the primary concern and core activity ofthe Ministry of
Manpower and Transmigration. Over the past two years, the National
Narcotics Board has jointly undertaken a series of awareness campaign
for government and private companies on the importance ofdrug abuse
prevention in workplace as well as training-workshops for chief
executive officer, human resource managers and supervisors in large,
medium and small-sized enterprises on drug abuse prevention.

To encourage private sectors to implement drug prevention

programmes in workplaces, BNN in cooperation with the Ministry of
manpower and Transmigration developed the following plans:

• Formulate national policy on drug prevention at workplaces.

• Raise private sector and corporate advocacy in workplace.
• Increase awareness of private sectors/corporation on the
advantages of drug prevention at workplace.
• Encourage private sectors/corporations to undertake awareness
campaign in their respective companies.

BNN Advocacy to tackle drug abuse problem in the workplace

Advocacy programmes for CEOs, top management and Human

Resource managers. BNN fully recognized that the problem of drug
abuse in the workplace requires employers commitment and support
for a drug abuse prevention program in the workplace. It also requires
a well-designed strategic plan on drug abuse prevention in the
workplace focusing not only on the drug problem but also taking into
consideration the conditions in the workplace that cause high risk
workers to take drugs. BNN, in cooperation with the Ministry of
Manpower and Transmigration, took an initial step to increase
commitment and support of employers for a drug-free workplace,
through an advocacy meeting with companies CEOs, top
managements and Human Resource managers. The Advocacy
meeting aimed primarily to provide them an overview of the current
drug problem and the prevention and control strategies in the country;
explain the objectives, components and benefits of the drug free
workplace programme and to encourage the organizations to
implement drug prevention programme in the workplace.

Drug Prevention Course for Managers and Supervisors in the

Workplace.

The advocacy meeting with CEOs and top management was followed
by a series ofcourses for company managers and supervisors primarily
to explain the seriousness of the drug problem and its impact on the
workplace; enhance knowledge regarding the drug free workplace
programme, enable the development of a drug free workplace
programme; and to enable the implementation of a drug free workplace
programme.
Community-Based Drug Prevention Strategies

Drug abuse is a community problem which requires community action

and support. Organizing for community action is the first step towards
achieving a drug-free neighborhood. This is based on the premise that
(I) people know what their problem is and its solution better than
anyone else; (2) people become committed to prevention initiatives
that they themselves developed; ( 3 ) action and change occur most
quickly when people work together.

As the UN Secretary General Kofi Annan said during the International

Day Against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking on June 26, 2000:
"There are no easy solutions to the drugproblems. A great deal can be

It is well recognized that when community people work together to

solve their own problem, significant change can occur in their
community. It is therefore relevant to empower people with the
knowledge and skills to identify their problems and harness their
resources to deal with their priority problem.

BNN Partnership with Non-Governmental and Community Based

Organizations

The Government of the Republic of Indonesia recognizes the

significant role ofnon-government organizations in its fight ofthe drug
abuse problem. NGOs are recognized as vital development partners
because of their accessibility and acceptability to community groups.
Civil society(NGOs) can :

• Proactively advocate civic awareness on dangers of drugs and

social response;
• Plan and implement prevention programs which highlight health
promotion and drug-free and healthy life style as a popular form
of community action, i.e. fun runs, sports fests, athletic contests;
• Provide challenging, positive experiences to help young people
to develop necessary skills to become socially mature
individuals with self-discipline, confidence, reliance and
independence; and
• Encourage more people to become active in addressing the drug
abuse problem.

Civil society (NGOs) has the potential to be innovators of change as

well as initiators of new programmes. They are the vehicle or
machinery for concerted social and community action particularly in
the prevention of drug abuse. They have the role to play in mobilizing
community involvement against drug abuse in the spirit of voluntary
service within the community.

Civil society complements and supplements government efforts in

demand reduction and overall preventive efforts. They can assist the
government by developing appropriate programmes for the
rehabilitation and after-care of drug-dependent persons.

In 2002, the number of NGOs signed a Memorandum of

Understanding (MOU) in the area of drug prevention.

Highlights ofNGOs Drug Prevention Programmes

NGOs are encouraged by the National Narcotics Board to participate

in drug prevention. As to date, there are 274 NGOs working in the field
of drug abuse prevention. The list ofthese NGOs is found in Annex I .
A number o f NGOs in prevention have implemented practical drug
prevention experiences, some of which are considered one of the best
practices in the world based on scienti fie research results and oflessons
learned from these initiatives.

The National Women's Congress (KOWANI ), a federation of

national women's organization in Indonesia is one of the NGOs that
signed a Memorandum of Understanding with NNB to help prevent
drug abuse among the youth. KOWANI was established in 1 928 and
consist of78 women organizations with at least 30 million members,
distributed throughout Indonesia. In recent years, KOWANI formed a
"Network Against Drug Abuse" which implemented community level
activities such as training parent groups on drug prevention and
advocate family resilience against drug abuse and HIV/AIDS.

Training ofPKK members 011 Drug Prevention

The Family Welfare Movement (PKK) is also one of the women's

organizations that made an official agreement through Memorandum
of Understanding with the National Narcotics Board to actively
participate in the drug prevention program focusing on family. The
PKK consists of the wives of government officials in all levels, whose
function is to organize welfare and health programs at the national,
provincial and village levels throughout Indonesia. PKK officers and
members were trained by NNB Prevention Center on drug prevention
and parenting skills as strategy for prevention.
Research Consultants Indonesia (RECON-INDO), an NGO
actively involved in drug prevention at the grassroots level with
community-based drug prevention and parenting education as its
major programs. Established in 1 987, Recon-lndo has trained and
educate women's groups such as The National Women's Congress
(Kowani), The Family Welfare Movement (PKK), Catholic Women's
Organization (WKRI), National Police Wives Organization
(Bhayangkari), Civil servants Wives Organization (Dharma Wanita)
and the five Women's Religious Organizations under the State Ministry
of Women's Empowerment in the area of community based drug
prevention and parenting education. The main purpose of this training
program is to mobilize these organizations to plan and implement drug
prevention in their respective organizations as well as to implement
community-based drug prevention with parenting education as the
main programme.

• Research Consultants Indonesia (Recon-Indo) has pioneered the

community-based drug prevention program in Indonesia linked
with parenting education with UNDCP assistance in 1 999. The
aim of the project is to mobilize people at the grassroots to
prevent drug abuse. The community was organized by
establishing an Anti Drug Committee at the sub-district
(Kecamatan) and village (Kelurahan) level, headed by the sub­
district chief (Camat) and Lurah respectively, with key leaders
from all segments ofthe community as members. The Anti Drug
Team at the village level includes village leaders (Lurah), school
administrators, teachers; sub-district police officer, parent,
religious, women, and youth leaders. The coalition of
concerned community people serves as a forum for sharing
ideas and perceptions about issues related to drugs in the
community. It also provides leadership for planning,
implementing and evaluating drug prevention programs as well
as to coordinate and oversee the development drug prevention
activities in all the (7) villages including the schools.
Grassroots communities in East Jakarta is a good example of
demonstrating how a coordinated community can address the
threat posed by neighborhood drug activity.

• Overall, the experience has been positive. The community has a

high level of awareness of the drug problem and has been
successful in formulating, implementing and monitoring
community-based drug prevention efforts. Local police and
neighborhood alliances show strong support of the community
drug prevention efforts.
 • While this project on community-based drug prevention was a
small project implemented in a sub-district in Jakarta, it was
nevertheless chosen by UNDCP as one ofthe 1 5 best practices in
the world in 2002 and by the Colombo Plan DAP in 2003.

LESSONS LEARNED :

• Overall, the parenting education experience at the grassroots

level has been positive. Experience indicated that parents,
particularly mothers, if given assistance and support can be the
most active resource and partner of the community and the
government in addressing the drug problem. This because
parents are the people who care most about their children,
having the motivation and the courage to fight for the well-being
of their children.

• Partnership between parents groups with the local government,

NGOs and the community are an indispensable element in
undertaking an integrated community-based drug abuse
prevention. Support by local government officials have been
useful in boosting the morale of parent and community
volunteers.

• Parenting and prevention education, to be effective, have to be

integrated in various parents' activities in the community which
are found to be effective arenas to communicate and discuss
parenting issues.

• The neighborhood women's group, on the other hand, are

reached during their monthly neighborhood meeting to
discuss their role as parents in drug prevention. Integration of

In 2002, the National Narcotics Board in cooperation with NGO

(Yayasan Cinta Anak Bangsa) supported by the Drug Advisory
Program, Colombo Plan Bureau and the International Narcotics and
Law Enforcement Affairs, U S Department of State, organized the first
Asian youth congress held in Bali, Indonesia with the theme "Facing
the Challenge." The objectives of the Congress were to enhance
awareness of the youth on the harmful effects of drug abuse; enhance
youth skills in decision making and communication; provide forum for
the youth to express their ideas and find solutions to drug abuse
prevention; establish a world network between government and non­
government organizations and the youth and to formulate action plan
to be implemented in each participating country.

These achievements were made possible with the support of thousands

of studel)ts, parents, donors, .school principals and teachers, religious
leaders, and journalists.

YCAB's remarkable achievements have been recognized

internationally and nationally. It gained a UN-Vienna Civil Society
Award in 200 1 and in 2002, YCAB received a National Silver Award

MASS MEDIA AGAINST DRUGS

It is well recognized that the media is a powerful agent of change. The

media provides important messages to shape and reinforce societal
norms, including those related to behavior resulting from drug use.
But research on the effects of media campaigns has determined that at
best media campaign generally does no more than increase awareness
among the target population. It is unrealistic to expect media
campaign alone to reduce drug use by affecting behavior. But
increasing awareness about the drug problem is one of the first steps
toward behavior change.

Media Campaigns - Media campaigns include a combination of

television and radio public service announcements (PSAs), billboards,
booklets, posters, specially planned events. Media campaigns are
found to be useful in helping people especially the youth to stay away
from drugs in various ways as follows:

• Public information campaigns influence individual values,

attitudes towards drug issues. Information campaigns can
contribute positively or negatively to attitudes, perceptions and
knowledge about drugs. "Public information campaigns can help
clarify issues about the drug problem. It enlightens people on
the relationship between drugs and poverty, violence and crime.
• Public information campaigns can play a lead role in the
advocacy campaign for healthy, drug-free lifestyles.
• Information campaigns can help deglamorize drug use.
Information campaigns can send strong messages to its
audiences that drug use will not be tolerated in a society that puts
prime value on health, peace and order.

Code of Ethics on Broadcasting and Drug Information through

Communication Media

In 1 995, the former Department of Information, Republic of

Indonesia, Secretariat on Narcotic Information, Directorate General
for General Information, issued a "Code of Ethics on Broadcasting
and Drug Information through Communication Media", as a
guide for media personnel in the area of drug prevention and control.
The Code ofEthics consists ofF our Parts and 22 Chapters as follows:

PART I
THE POSITION AND SPECIFICATION OF MEDIA

Chapter I .

The Drug Information o n Media, either Mass Media (print, electronic and cinema) or
Interpersonal Media (face-to-face, exhibition, traditional media, others), should
emphasized the promotion of eliminating illegal drugs activities, through cultural­
educative approach.

Chapter 2

Each Media management, either mass media or interpersonal media should be aware
that "overdose" of information on drugs has similar danger effect as that of
"underdose" of information, because both information could lead to misperception.

Chapter 3

Each Media, either mass media or interpersonal media, should anticipate toward
"saturated condition" on drug information and therefore should be further studied to
seek new innovation to conduct information at every phase ofdevelopment.

Chapter 4

Implementation of drug preventive information campaign through interpersonal

media can be carried out in a "high profile" mode, meaning it can be done more
intensive, more detailed, clear and transparent subject to the condition and the
audience level ofknowledge and perception.
 Chapter 5

Implementation of drug preventive information campaign through the mass media

can also be done in a "low profile" manner, meaning it can not be too detailed, but
merely to give general knowledge with the purpose to promote audience awareness
regarding the dangerous effects ofdrug abuse.

PART II
BASIC PRINCIPLES ON DRUG INFORMATION

Chapter 6

"Freedom of information" on drugs should not be interpreted in absolute term, but

rather, "Freedom with Responsibility" with the purpose to prevent illicit drug supply
and to eliminate illicit drug demand.

Chapter 7

The "freedom to cover" may not necessarily mean "freedom to report', because
infonnation on drugs should be considered seriously based on the sensitivity of the
issue related to public order and security.

Chapter 8

In launching drug information, one should emphasize the aspect of "How" to write,
present or to broadcast and to describe the background of "Why" it happened. By
doing so, the target audience may have the opportunity to absorb and to digest the
information.

Chapter 9

Infonnation on drugs should be treated in a way that it may not lead to promotive and
suggestive effects, which can motivate individuals to misuse drugs, ending to a
counter-productive effect.

Chapter 10

lnfonnation on drugs should directly or indirectly create an anti-drug feeling among

the audience, leading the target audience to avoid or reject purchasing or consuming
illicit drugs.

DRUG [Link] STRATEGIES

 \
NATIONAL NARCOTICS BOARD INDONESIA
�-f,;.,:,_�-...

Chapter II

Information of illicit drug activities through the mass media should not demonstrate
or show the "modus operandi" of smuggling or using drugs in detail, as it may
promote imitative effect.

Chapter 12

Information on drug intelligence operation, known by chance by any personnel

media, should be checked before hand to the authorized officer or institution prior to
dissemination.

Chapter 13

Information on drugs should describe the devastating effects on the social norms on a
wider perspective and therefore information on the drug laws and regulations and
the heavy sanctions imposed to illicit drug activities should be encouraged.

Chapter 14

Dissemination of information on profit derived from illicit drug trafficking and other
related activities should be avoided.

Chapter IS

In the confiscation ofdrugs and precursors, drug control officials should consider to
disseminate the quantity of drugs (weight, volume, pieces, etc) and to compare it
with the real need for pharmacies and industries, medical treatments, research, and
other legal purposes.

Chapter 16

It is encouraged to consider the dissemination of drug information relating to the

social effects or financial losses in drug treatment and rehabilitation rather than
disseminating the profit derived from illicit drug trafficking.

Chapter 17

The identity of drug patients or drug cases may not be disseminated transparently, as
the patient still has the chance to improve or be treated.
 .}
..il

Chapter 18

The family status and name ofthe drug user may not be disseminated since drug use is
a personal matter which docs not relate to the family status ofthe drug victim.

Chapter 19

It is believed that mass media and interpersonal media could be utilized through an
integrated system primarily to produce synergetic power in order to mould the
audience's attitude to restraint from consuming illicit drugs and therefore, the write
up and presentation or broadcasting should give "positive" inputs such as on ways to
prevent drug abuse and their roles to play in prevention, to guide and to assist
interested groups of community who will participate in the elimination of illicit drug
demand.

Chapter 20

Preventive drug information should motivate the audience to become a "good

citizen", whose attitude is to reject drugs and to participate actively in drug
prevention activities.

Chapter 2 1

Drug infonnation basically strengthens individual resilience i n all aspects o f his life.
The aim is for the audience to make the right decision by rejecting drugs.

Chapter 22

The end result of drug information is to promote public opinion to reject illicit drug
use .

rapidly rising incidence of HIV/AIDS among Injecting Drug Users

20% among injecting drug users in several parts oflndonesia and about
50% in some parts of the country. The Government of lndonesia has
acknowledged this serious link between injecting drug use and
HIV/AIDS. Several international bodies such as UN bodies -
UNAIDS, United Nations Office for Drug Control and Crime
Prevention (UNODC) through its project "Reducing HIV
Vulnerability from Drug Abuse,", World Health Organization (WHO),
The Asian Harm Reduction Network (AHRN), Family Health
International (FHI), and AU SAID, are currently assisting Indonesia to
address this linked problem of drug abuse and HIVIAIDS. One major
programme is institutional capacity building which includes training
and orientation of policy makers from the Indonesian Parliament,
