A Youth-Led TB Campaign
Massive dissemination of correct information about TB to the community and the involvement of community leaders to disseminate communication, information and education materials are key in this campaign strategy.
Media involvement
STPI believes Mass Media has control over the wider coverage of TB.
There were around 30 editors and 60 local journalists who participated in TB reporting. Spread across DKI Jakarta and West Java Provinces, ranging from local and national media. To date, there are around 344 TB reports published in print and online media.

There is still relatively little coverage of TB in the media. Perhaps TB is still considered unsexy because the case has been around for more than 100 years but cannot be eliminated until today. The media should cover TB more because by involving all sectors including the media, this issue will increasingly become a national concern.
YOUTH INVOLVEMENT
caraka tb institute
Caraka TB Institute (CTI) is a TB promotion and prevention programme involving young people aged 18-25 years. They are 20 young people selected from various regions across Indonesia (Medan, Sintang, Pekanbaru, Bali, Gowa, Jember, South Tangerang, Palu, Mempawah, Malang, Biringkanaya, Bengkulu, Unhas, Padang, Makassar, Kubu Raya, Cirebon, Depok, Aceh). Their presence is expected to contribute to Tuberculosis control in the country. However, before tackling a larger scale, the Caraka participants underwent training in a village called Oharanesia. Let's see what they learnt in Oharanesia!
Day One,
They meet with the ‘Village Guide’ to receive more details about the activities they will be undertaking over the next three days. After receiving instructions, they must search for the signalling totem, which is the key to meeting the village elder called "Village Sintua".

After searching all day, they finally found the totem. In the evening, they met and had a dialogue with the Village Sintua, who introduced them to Oharanesia and discussed the tuberculosis epidemic plaguing the village.

Day Two,
In the morning, the Caraka met with a TB survivor and her father. They had a dialogue about the challenges faced by the TB survivor, including difficulties in accessing health services, getting medicine, and not having enough money for transport to health facilities.

In the afternoon, the Carakas attended a session on Challenges and Opportunities in Eliminating TB by 2030.

Day Three was the highlight of the training. In the morning, news broke of the rash policies made by the Governor of Oharanesia (Gobernador), as reported by the media. The Carakas were furious about these policies!
Village Sintua provides knowledge to the Caraka on how to fight the Governor. This includes advocacy, campaigning and engaging with the media. At the end of the day, they put what they had learnt into practice by organising a press conference, then campaigning to gather support, as well as holding an audience with the Governor.

Unfortunately, the audience with the Governor was unsuccessful. Finally, the Caraka decided to take action by organising a demonstration at the Governor's palace to demand the repeal of the rash policy. The Governor agreed, mission accomplished!

Day Four,
was the last day of training for the Caraka. They made action plans related to the TB campaign in their respective areas before returning to their hometowns.

On the fifth day,
the Carakas returned to their areas and started the TB campaign. How sad to say goodbye! However, that doesn't mean they will lose communication!
