Abstract:
The main objective of this study is to analyze the current roles of the Posyandu (one-stop healthcare service) in providing healthcare services to the community and to analyze the potentials for improving its role within the framework of decentralization and village autonomy. Posyandu is a community-based organization (CBOs) at lowest level of governance hierarchy in Indonesian government system. Theoretically Posyandu in the era of decentralization is a local potential that plays an important role as a form of community empowerment which is obviously one of the objectives of decentralization (Smith, 1985; Cheema and Rondinelli, 1983; Mahwood, 1983). However, over a decade of decentralization implementation in North Sumatra, the performance of Posyandu has not been maximized according to the decentralization blueprint. This research takes place in two districts in North Sumatra province and uses qualitative methods as well as in-depth interviews and documentation as the primary data collection technique. The finding of this research is the village autonomy is very important in revitalizing Posyandu, but for two districts in North Sumatra this has not worked as expected.
