Problem Statement/Background (GAP): Population density is increasing because the human
population continues to grow. Due to its large population, there has also been a fairly large increase
in population in North Minahasa district compared to the last few years. A very high growth rate is a
demographic problem that can affect many aspects of life, namely economic, social and educational
aspects. Purpose: The aim of this research is to describe the Population Control and Family Planning
Department's strategy which is expected to be able to reduce the rate of population growth in North
Minahasa and identify the obstacles in implementing the Family Planning program in suppressing the
rate of population growth in North Minahasa. Method: This research employs a qualitative approach
with an inductive method. The data collection techniques include interviews, observations, and
documentation. Result: The results of the research show that the Population Control and Family
Planning Service has developed a strategy in the form of a program, namely the Family Planning
Program and then implemented it which is running quite well even though there are various factors
that hinder the implementation of this program, such as human resources and budget availability.
Conclusion: Research finds that internal factors (such as legal basis and support from honorary staff)
as well as external factors (such as family planning programs and geographical challenges) influence
population growth. Priority strategies involve optimizing family planning programs, increasing
capacity and cooperation, as well as motivating and training human resources. It is hoped that this
strategy will increase the effectiveness of the family planning program. Suggestions include
maximizing internal strengths, improving infrastructure, increasing employee commitment, optimizing
external opportunities, as well as regular evaluation and training.
