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.
