The countries of the Indian subcontinent provide some of the world's most evident case studies of the deleterious effects of population pressure. They also have undertaken some of the world's most massive family planning programs. India was the first country to declare a national population policy and to mount a nationwide family planning program. Pakistan and present day Bangladesh had a prolonged period during which the national family planning program had a separate organization with extremely high priority and official support. Continuing famines and two major wars in 25 years have contributed to high mortality. Nonetheless, population growth in these countries continues its inexorable upward curve. On the other hand, these programs must also be credited with some real successes and the birth rates in several Indian states are falling.

This paper is made up of three parts. The first part provides an analysis of the family planning program adopted by the Government of Serbia in early 1998. In addition to the targets, measures and the institutional basis of the activities envisaged by the program, attention is also given to the evaluation of the document itself. It is highlighted that formulation of the elements of the family planning program and their adoption constitute only the first step and that the success of the program shall largely depend on the manner of its operationalization, and particularly, on the implementation of the proposed measures and activities. In the first part of the paper, the author also asserts that the document adopted neither included the points of particular interest nor the specific conditions for implementing the program-related activities in the context of rural population. Hence, the second and the third parts discuss the research findings regarding rural population of Serbia and the pragmatic experience acquired by other countries in carrying out similar activities. The information gathered in the 1990s by means of questionnaires conducted in low and high-fertility regions was analyzed to highlight the need for implementing the program in rural population and to assess the prospects of the program-related efforts pertaining to a change in reproductive behavior. The summary experience gained in implementing family planning programs in other countries, and concretization of different elements of the activities undertaken was observed from the point of view of the need to operationalize family planning programs in Serbia.

Furthermore, communication and coordination processes among administrators and associates are shown to be in accordance with the operational procedures, hence, influencing characteristics of the family planning programs. It is found that religion consideration makes the residents refuse male contraception. Family planning programs are considered as women's business for some certain people. Fortunately, the existence of a spirit of militancy, high loyalty and disposition/attitude possessed by the management officers towards this male family planning program has a major influence on the success of the program. Moreover, the study shows that politicians have demonstrated strong support for the family planning program. This supports take places through budgeting and politician's active participation in the male contraceptive programs.AbstrakPenelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis faktor-faktor yang memengaruhi kinerja pencapaian kebijakan KB pria di Kabupaten Bandung Barat. Metode dalam penelitian ini adalah metode kualitatif dengan menggunakan pendekatan studi kasus. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian, dapat diketahui bahwa proses penetapan PPM sebagai standar dan tujuan kebijakan KB telah dipahami oleh seluruh pengelola KB dan jumlah ketersedian sumber daya saat ini sudah dianggap mencukupi dari segi jumlah namun masih kurang dari segi kualitas. Selain itu diketahui juga bahwa proses komunikasi dan koordinasi antar pengelola maupun dengan mitra kerja telah dilakukan sesuai dengan mekanisme operasional dan hal ini memengaruhi karakteristik pengelola KB. Dari segi faktor sosial budaya diketahui bahwa masyarakat banyak yang menolak program KB pria dengan alasan agama.  Sebagian ada yang menganggap bahwa KB hanya untuk urusan wanita. Namun adanya jiwa militansi, loyalitas tinggi dan disposisi/sikap yang dimiliki oleh petugas pengelola terhadap program KB pria ini berpengaruh besar terhadap keberhasilan program. Selain itu juga diketahui bahwa dukungan elit politik terhadap program KB sudah sangat baik dari segi penganggaran maupun keterlibatannya secara aktif dalam Kebijakan KB Pria.

<em>The Covid-19 pandemic that began in early 2020 has had serious impacts on various aspects of life globally, nationally and locally, including family planning program services in Indonesia. BKKBN, for example, carries out various policies to increase participation in family planning programs to maintain community welfare by anticipating the baby boom during the Covid-19 pandemic. Based on the results of the survey conducted, the interest of men to participate in becoming MOP contraceptive acceptors began to increase. This is certainly a progress where the awareness of men to participate in family planning programs is increasing. The increase in participants occurred because of ‘correct’ knowledge about family planning programs. Before the Covid-19 pandemic, many men and their families did not have adequate knowledge about vasectomy as a method of contraception. Consequently, this caused limited accessibility to contraceptive services and acceptance among men. The main objective of this paper is therefore to provide complete and clear information to men regarding the benefits, impacts and perspectives of applied ethical theology on the use of the vasectomy method of contraception. Methodologically, this study uses a qualitative method by collecting several journals and books related to the formulation of the problem and looking for possible equations to answer this research problem. The expected results are therefore a wider recognition of the important role of health workers, culture, and experienced family planning cadres, as well as a provision of knowledge and direction in socializing the vasectomy method, including understanding the theologically ethical perspectives of vasectomy as a method of contraception.</em> <br /> <br /><strong>Key words:</strong> Covid-19, Ethical Theological Perspectives, Family Planning Program, Men, Vasectomy.
