- Abstract
A healthy environment free from pollution is one of the rights of children whose fulfillment is difficult to realize when relying on the capacity of children themselves. Collaborating with the non-governmental organization Kakak Foundation, the Surakarta Children's Forum as a medium for children's participation in development has fought for the ratification of the smoke-free area policy. This research aims to examine the forms, mechanisms and outcomes of the capacity building process of the Surakarta Children's Forum for advocacy of the Surakarta City local regulation on smoke-free areas. This type of research is descriptive with qualitative methods and a case study approach. Data collection was conducted through observation, in-depth interview, focus group discussion, and documentation study, while data analysis through an interactive model of analysis encompassing data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. Using the theory of capacity development from Eade (1997) and Kenny (2006), this research found a form of capacity development in the form of human capital and social capital capacity development and the mechanism is done with awareness raising and problem mapping training. This capacity building strategy resulted in a synergy of the strengths of the Surakarta Children's Forum and the Kakak Foundation for advocating local regulation on smoke-free areas in Surakarta City and monitoring its implementation. However, the synergy of capacity building for policy advocacy has not been able to result in the development of smoke-free public spaces. It is proven that smoking behavior and cigarette waste are still found in public parks where children do activities in Surakarta City.
