The document summarizes the activities of the Role of YOP in Promoting Smart Use of Antibiotics (SUA) in Indonesia from 2012-2013. It provided training to community organizations on antibiotic use and antimicrobial resistance. It conducted surveys, workshops, seminars and social media campaigns to raise awareness on appropriate antibiotic usage among various communities and stakeholders. The organization collaborated with other groups and utilized existing health education programs and online channels to disseminate information widely. While volunteer recruitment and capacity building went well, future efforts need more direct supervision, improved documentation, and stronger partnerships to gain wider support and influence antibiotic prescribing behaviors.

capabilities in becoming effective
campaigners on AB and ABR themes

volunteers, communities, and
partners to implement and expand
health promotional activities

channels to disseminate information
on AB and ABR
What we need to improve or
address
•Providing of direct supervision and
technical assistance to volunteers
(parents)
•Preparing good documentation of the
activities in various formats to be
shared and used as references
•Volunteers’ limited communication
skills to provide effective counsel to
target communities

particularly from health professionals
