Abstract

Child marriage remains a serious issue in Indonesia despite various government policies aimed at reducing its prevalence. The practice is influenced by poverty, limited access to education, inadequate reproductive health services, and persisting social and cultural norms. This study aims to analyze the role of UNICEF in preventing child marriage in Indonesia through the BERANI Program during the 2018–2023 period. The findings show that UNICEF performed three roles within the BERANI Program. As an instrument, UNICEF provided technical support and capacity building for program implementation. As an actor, UNICEF promoted changes in approaches and social norms. As an arena, UNICEF facilitated cooperation and dialogue among stakeholders. The BERANI Program contributed to improving adolescents' knowledge, strengthening reproductive health services, and raising public awareness, although it still faces challenges related to limited coverage and varying regional conditions. Keywords: UNICEF, Child Marriage, BERANI Program, International Organization
