The purpose of this study is to analyze the implementation of village midwives in increasing public knowledge and awareness about family planning (KB) programs and to analyze the strategies of village midwives in increasing community participation and acceptance of family planning (KB) programs. This research uses a qualitative approach with interview, observation, and documentation methods. The subjects of the study include village midwives, couples of childbearing age (PUS), and community leaders. The results of the study show that the implementation or actions taken by village midwives in increasing public knowledge and awareness of family planning programs are counseling or socialization, collaboration with religious leaders, ease of access, and overcoming social and cultural challenges.
