the Si Arek FAS (Surabaya Children's Forum) Podcast Room.
At PISA, the UNICEF CFCI team learned about the various information and education
services provided to children, including information on children's rights, health, education, and child protection. The team also visited the PRISMA Room, which focuses on
empowering women and girls. PRISMA contributes to building a safe and supportive
environment for all children in Surabaya.

Spensabaya) from SMPN 1, who brought passion and positive energy into the room.
Through music and art, CAS managed to showcase the extraordinary expression and
creativity of Surabaya's children.
Interactive Dialogue: Exploring Good Practices of Surabaya City's Policies
An interactive dialogue held by the UNICEF CFCI Team with Surabaya's children was a
crucial moment during this visit. The interactive dialogue was guided by a moderator and
attended by children from various communities in Surabaya. The children enthusiastically
expressed their questions and opinions on various issues related to child protection.
UNICEF's CFCI team provided comprehensive and informative answers to these questions.
The team also explained the various programs and policies that UNICEF has implemented to
protect children around the world.
Through these discussions, the team was able to explore and understand the various
perspectives, expectations, and challenges faced by children in their daily lives. The
dialogue not only provided valuable insights for the UNICEF CFCI Team in understanding
the local context of child protection in Surabaya but also strengthened children's voices as
an important part of the policy-making process and child-friendly program implementation.
This visit marks an important step in a concerted effort to understand and replicate good
practices in child protection in cities around the world. Through initiatives such as PISA,
PRISMA, and Forum Anak Surabaya, the city has demonstrated how children's
empowerment and their active participation in social life can contribute to inclusive and
sustainable urban development.
The UNICEF CFCI team is committed to continuing working with the Surabaya City
Government and various stakeholders to strengthen and expand these good practices. The
dialogue and collaboration established during this visit will be the foundation for the further development of effective and inclusive child protection systems, not only in Surabaya but also in other cities in Indonesia as well as around the world.

Sinau dan ngaji bareng merupakan inovasi Pemerintah Kota Surabaya untuk memberikan pendampingan belajar bagi anak-anak di Balai RW serta memberikan kesempatan bagi mahasiswa, guru, serta masyarakat untuk peduli terhadap pendidikan di Kota Surabaya. Sinau dan Ngaji Bareng Arek Suroboyo dilaksanakan di Balai RW dan sudah dapat dijumpai di seluruh kecamatan di Kota Surabaya. Syaratnya cukup mudah, yaitu kelurahan mengusulkan ke Dinas Pendidikan untuk dapat dilaksanakan program Sinau dan Ngaji Bareng. Kemudian Dinas Pendidikan melakukan pengecekan di lokasi dengan mempertimbangkan kesiapan balai RW, sarana prasarana, komitmen kelurahan dan warga sekitar serta terdapatnya anak usia sekolah untuk diselenggarakan pendampingan belajar dan mengaji.
Adapun tujuan pelaksanaan program sinau dan ngaji bareng adalah sebagai berikut:
Pelaksanaan kegiatan "Ayo Sinau Bareng" bisa diikuti oleh para peserta didik setiap
hari Senin dan Sabtu pukul 18.00-20.00 WIB. Sedangkan untuk pelaksanaan "Ayo Ngaji
Bareng", bisa diikuti setiap Rabu pukul 18.00-20.00 WIB. Saat ini program sinau dan ngaji
bareng sudah dapat diakses di 219 Balai RW, pada 129 Kelurahan dan 31 Kecamatan.
Terdapat 7.570 fasilitator yang terlibat di program Sinau dan Ngaji Bareng yang
terdiri dari guru 5.662 fasilitator, mahasiswa 1.882 fasilitator dan masyarakat 26
fasilitator. Adapun fasilitator mahasiswa merupakan mahasiswa yang mendapat beasiswa Pemuda Tangguh dari Pemerintah Kota Surabaya serta mahasiswa yang berasal dari
berbagai universitas yang menjalin kemitraan dengan Pemerintah Kota Surabaya, antara
lain:
Bapak Walikota Surabaya, Eri Cahyadi, menyampaikan bahwa program sinau bareng
juga merupakan sarana untuk meningkatkan atmosfer toleransi di Kota Surabaya. Dimana
pengajar berasal dari para pemuda lintas agama yang dapat mengajarkan tentang
pentingnya pengetahuan dan pengenalan agama bagi anak-anak di Kota Pahlawan.
Kolaborasi dengan pemuka agama dan perguruan tinggi adalah wujud dari kebersamaan
dan gotong royong yang diinginkan oleh Walikota Eri dalam membangun sebuah kota.
"Para pengajar atau mentor terbuka untuk warga pemeluk setiap agama. Mulai dari
agama Islam, Kristen, Katolik, Hindu, Budha, dan Konghucu. Maka, itu akan menjadi sangat
indah untuk Surabaya," tutur Cak Eri Cahyadi.
Dalam rangka meningkatkan upaya monitoring yang terdigitalisasi, Dinas Pendidikan
mempunyai aplikasi dalam bentuk web khusus untuk program Sinau dan Ngaji Bareng. Tutor
melaporkan kegiatan belajar mengajarnya di website tersebut sedangkan ketua RW
melaporkan di menu laporan RW.
Bagi peserta didik yang ingin mengetahui jadwal pembelajaran bisa mengakses
langsung di website https://dispendik.surabaya.go.id/sinau-bareng. Hal ini berlaku juga bagi
para volunteer atau relawan pengajar yang ingin mendaftarkan diri untuk terjun langsung membangun pendidikan serta pendidikan karakter di Kota Surabaya. Bagi dulur
pembangunan yang ingin berpartisipasi aktif mencerdaskan arek-arek Surabaya dan
membangun generasi emas di Kota Surabaya, dapat langsung mendaftar sebab tidak ada
kualifikasi khusus bagi relawan pengajar. Hal ini dikarenakan konsep dari Program Sinau
dan Ngaji Bareng adalah menumbuhkembangkan semangat belajar bersama warga Kota
Surabaya.
Numerous successes and achievements in health development throughout 2023
do not make Surabaya Mayor, Eri Cahyadi, complacent at all. Moreover, Cak Wali's
enthusiasm and aspiration has hit the new high to make Surabaya rise to the next level
and take part in the international health arena.
After setting a record for the lowest stunting prevalence in Indonesia based on the
Indonesian Nutritional Status Study, Surabaya made history once again with the
declaration of 100% open defecation free (ODF) in March 2023. Additionally, Surabaya
also succeeded in maintaining the first position in the performance assessment of stunting
eradication by the Ministry of Home Affairs in 2 (two) consecutive years. Apart from that,
Surabaya received various awards on national and international scales, such as the
award of ASEAN Environmentally Sustainable City, eradication of Covid-19, Integration
of Primary Health Services, Free from Yaws, innovation of community movement in
implementing immunization, as well as implementation of Universal Health Coverage
reaching 100%. Furthermore, Surabaya successfully maintained the title of Swastisaba
Wistara for the third time, which is the highest healthy city category in Indonesia. Besides
that, the city achieved the first rank in National STBM Award in primary category. With all
these achievements accompanied by systematic and sustainable efforts to create a smart
healthy city, Surabaya was chosen by the Ministry of Health to represent Indonesia in the
World Health City Forum which was held in South Korea in November, 2023.
Mayor Eri Cahyadi enlightened that the success formula for various
accomplishments in the enactment of healthy city in Surabaya was the collaboration of
all stakeholders. This aligns with the meaning and purpose of the establishment of healthy
city in Indonesia. The implementation of a healthy city is the realization of a city that is
clean, beautiful, comfortable, safe and healthy for residents to live in, that is achieved
through the implementation of 9 (nine) arrangements and activities integrated and agreed
upon by the community and the City Government. The 9 (nine) healthy city arrangements
are as follows:
Mayor Eri elaborated that the success of implementing healthy city in Surabaya
could not be separated from the hard works of all elements of society in the City of Heroes.
"We have Healthy City Forum (FKS) at the city, sub-district and urban village levels.
There is also a program called integration of primary health services, existing in
neighborhood health centers, auxiliary neighborhood health centers as well as family
integrated service posts. Besides that, we have an innovation called Kampung Madani.
With Kampung Madani, the health movement can be undertaken in the grassroots level,"
uttered the mayor.
The City Mayor, who is familiarly called Cak Eri, revealed that the success in
implementing the smart healthy city were also due to the contribution of the heads of RT,
RW, LPMK, Kader Surabaya Hebat (KSH) and TP PKK. A sense of mutual care and
mutual cooperation is automatically created when a city’s resident is in ailment.
"We create this circumstance to improve people’s health. In a way that when one
of the residents becomes ill or undergoes unfortunate experience, we help him together,"
he explained.
What is no less important in developing Surabaya healthy city is the contribution
from the academic community and non-governmental organizations. For example,
Airlangga University facilitates both Surabaya Emas and 1P1P (1 Neighborhood Health
Center, 1 Pediatrician) programs. Meanwhile, Non-Government Organizations (NGOs),
for instance, Tunas Hijau is active in increasing the awareness of students to keenly
participate in protecting and nurturing the environment. Some of the activities carried out
by Tunas Hijau include the selection of Environmental Prince and Princess, socialization
on disaster mitigation and beach clean-up activities by the students. Furthermore, the
WASH Coalition consisting of UNICEF, Wahana Visi, Kotaku, IUWASH, WC-Koe, Habitat
for Humanity, Pertamina, Pelindo and several other institutions plays a central role in
realizing community-based total sanitation in this second largest city in Indonesia.
Cak Eri added that due to the strong synergy, health management in Surabaya
had been integrated from upstream to downstream. Starting from improving health
services in hospitals and neighborhood health centers, quickly managing spread of
diseases, eradicating stunting, realizing open defecation free (ODF) and providing health
insurance for all residents of Surabaya.
Eri assured that Surabaya City Government would continue to work hard to
improve the welfare of its citizens. One of the efforts to achieve the goal is by registering
in the WHO SEARO Healthy Cities network. With this registration, Surabaya will be
accompanied and assisted by WHO SEARO, WHO Indonesia and the National Healthy
Cities Forum regarding how to improve the quality of physical and mental well-being of
the city’s residents as well as the quality of the city’s development in general.
According to WHO, a healthy city is a city that continuously improves its physical
and social conditions and expands community resources so as to facilitate citizens to
achieve their maximum potential. The World Health Organization has 6 (six)
representative offices throughout the world and for the Southeast Asia region, it is named
SEARO which stands for South East Asia Region.
Cak Wali signed a letter registering Surabaya in WHO SEARO Healthy Cities
Network (HCN) on January 11, 2024. In the letter, Eri wrote that Surabaya City
Government strengthened its commitment to implement a healthy city and was ready to
integrate and synergize between Surabaya's Healthy City programs with global standards
and WHO SEARO HCN’s norms.
The first meeting between WHO SEARO, WHO Indonesia and the National
Healthy Cities Forum with Surabaya City Government and Surabaya Healthy City Forum
was held on January 14, 2024. Led by General Administrative Assistant and also attended
by Head of The Board of Regional Planning and Research Development
(Bappedalitbang) as well as representatives from local government working units,
Surabaya City Government expressed its readiness to take part in the WHO SEARO
Healthy City certification.
The National Healthy Cities Forum, represented by Yuni Dwi Purwani, stated that
the Ministry of Home Affairs and the Ministry of Health appreciated the good intentions of
Surabaya Mayor to increase the welfare and well-being of its citizens by registering in the
WHO SEARO healthy cities network.
"I have conveyed Surabaya's wish to join WHO SEARO healthy cities network to
the Ministry of Home Affairs and the Ministry of Health. Both Ministries really appreciate
the initiative of the mayor," Yuni emphasized. This initiative strengthens Surabaya's
commitment to support the Healthy Indonesia program at the national level.
Dengan berbagai keberhasilan dan pencapaian pembangunan kesehatan pada tahun 2023, sama sekali tidak membuat Bapak Walikota Surabaya, Eri Cahyadi, berpuas diri. Tidak surut semangat dan harapan dari Cak Wali untuk membuat Kota Surabaya naik kelas dan berkiprah di kancah kesehatan internasional.
Setelah mencetak rekor prevalensi stunting terendah di Indonesia berdasarkan Studi
Status Gizi Indonesia, Kota Surabaya kembali menorehkan sejarah dengan deklarasi 100%
bebas buang air besar sembarangan pada bulan Maret 2023. Kota Surabaya juga berhasil
mempertahankan predikat terbaik pertama pada penilaian kinerja stunting oleh Kemendagri 2
(dua) tahun berturut-turut. Selain itu, Kota Surabaya mendapat berbagai penghargaan di skala
nasional dan internasional, seperti penghargaan ASEAN Environmentally Sustainable City,
penanganan Covid-19, Integrasi Layanan Primer, Kota Surabaya Bebas Frambosia, terbaik
pertama dalam inovasi pergerakan masyarakat dalam pelaksanaan imunisasi, serta
pelaksanaan Universal Health Coverage yang mencapai 100%. Yang tak kalah istimewa, Kota
Surabaya mempertahankan predikat Kota Sehat Swastisaba Wistara kali Ketiga yang
merupakan kategori kota sehat tertinggi di Indonesia. Disamping itu, Kota Surabaya meraih
gelar perdana sebagai terbaik 1 Nasional STBM Award kategori Pratama. Dengan semua
prestasi tersebut beserta upaya yang sistematis dan berkesinambungan untuk mewujudkan
kota sehat nan cerdas, Kota Surabaya dipilih oleh Kementerian Kesehatan untuk mewakili
Indonesia di World Health City Forum atau Forum Kota Sehat Dunia yang diselenggarakan di
Korea Selatan pada bulan November 2023.
Cak Wali menyampaikan bahwa formula sukses berbagai capaian pelaksanaan kota
sehat di Surabaya adalah kolaborasi semua pemangku kepentinan. Hal ini sesuai dengan arti
dan tujuan diselenggarkannya kota sehat. Penyelenggaraan kota sehat adalah perwujudan
suatu kondisi kota yang bersih, indah, nyaman, aman dan sehat untuk dihuni penduduk yang
dicapai melalui terselenggaranya penerapan 9 (sembilan) tatanan dan kegiatan yang
terintegrasi dan disepakati masyarakat dengan Pemerintah Kota. Adapun 9 (sembilan) tatanan
kota sehat antara lain:
Walikota Eri Cahyadi menerangkan bahwa keberhasilan pelaksanaan kota sehat di Kota
Surabaya tak luput dari adanya kerja keras dari seluruh elemen masyarakat di Kota Pahlawan.
"Ada Forum Kota Sehat (FKS) di tingkat kota, kecamatan dan kelurahan. Ada juga
integrasi pelayanan kesehatan primer di puskesmas, pustu dan posyandu keluarga. Disamping
itu, ada Kampung Madani. Dengan Kampung Madani, pergerakan kesehatan juga bisa
berjalan sampai di level bawah," tutur Walikota Eri.
Wali kota yang juga akrab disapa Cak Eri itu mengungkapkan, diraihnya berbagai
prestasi dalam pelaksanaan kota sehat ini juga tak luput dari kerja keras dari ketua RT, RW,
LPMK, Kader Surabaya Hebat (KSH), Tim Pendamping Keluarga (TPK), hingga Tim
Penggerak (TP) PKK. Semua berperan serta aktif sehingga tercipta rasa saling peduli dan
gotong royong ketika ada warga yang sakit.
"Ini terus kita bentuk, supaya jangan sampai lagi ada warga yang sakit. Jadi kalau ada
yang sakit, atau hal lainnya, itu kita bentuk (tangani) bersama," ungkapnya.
Yang tak kalah penting dalam pembangunan kota sehat Surabaya adalah kontribusi dari
civitas akademika serta lembaga swadaya masyarakat. Sebagai contoh, Universitas Airlangga
memfasilitasi program Surabaya Emas dan 1P1P (1 Puskesmas 1 Pediatrician). Sedangkan
LSM seperti Tunas Hijau bergerak untuk meningkatkan kesadaran pelajar Kota Surabaya agar
berpartisipasi aktif dalam melindungi dan menjaga lingkungan. Beberapa kegiatan yang
dilaksanakan oleh Tunas Hijau antara lain, pemilihan Putra dan Putri Lingkungan Hidup,
sosialisasi mitigasi bencana serta kegiatan pelajar bersih-bersih pantai. Lebih lanjut, Koalisi
WASH yang terdiri dari UNICEF, Wahana Visi, Kotaku, IUWASH, WC-Koe, Habitat for
Humanity, Pertamina, Pelindo dan beberapa lembaga lainnya memegang peranan sentral
dalam perwujudan sanitasi total berbasis masyarakat di kota terbesar kedua di Indonesia ini.
Cak Eri menambahkan bahwa dikarenakan sinergi kuat tersebut, penanganan
kesehatan di Kota Surabaya sudah terintegrasi dari hulu sampai hilir. Mulai dari peningkatan
pelayanan kesehatan di Rumah Sakit dan Puskesmas, gerak cepat dalam menangani
penyebaran penyakit, penanganan stunting, open defecation free (ODF) serta jaminan
kesehatan untuk seluruh warga Kota Surabaya.
Eri memaparkan bahwa Pemerintah Kota Surabaya akan terus bekerja keras demi
meningkatkan derajat kesehatan warganya. Salah satunya dengan mendaftar pada jejaring
Kota Sehat WHO SEARO. Dengan pendaftaran tersebut, Surabaya akan didampingi oleh
WHO SEARO, WHO Indonesia serta Forum Kota Sehat Nasional terkait bagaimana cara untuk
meningkatkan kualitas kesehatan fisik dan mental dari warga kota serta kualitas pembangunan
kota secara keseluruhan.
Kota sehat menurut WHO adalah kota yang secara berkesinambungan meningkatkan
kondisi fisik dan sosialnya serta memperluas sumber daya komunitas sehingga memfasilitasi
warga untuk mencapai potensi maksimum mereka. Organisasi kesehatan dunia (WHO)
mempunyai 6 (enam) kantor perwakilan di seluruh dunia dan untuk kawasan Asia Tenggara
dinamakan SEARO yang merupakan kepanjangan dari South East Asia Region.
Walikota Eri Cahyadi menandatangani surat pendaftaran Kota Surabaya menuju WHO
pada tanggal 11 Januari 2024. Di dalam surat tersebut, Eri menjelaskan bahwa Pemerintah
Kota Surabaya memperkuat komitmennya dalam pelaksanaan kota sehat serta siap
mengintegrasikan dan mensinergikan program Kota Sehat Surabaya dengan norma WHO
SEARO dan standar kesehatan di kancah internasional.
Pertemuan pertama antara WHO SEARO, WHO Indonesia dan Forum Kota Sehat
Nasional dengan Pemerintah Kota Surabaya dan Forum Kota Sehat Surabaya telah
dilaksanakan pada tanggal 14 Januari 2024. Dipimpin oleh Ibu Asisten Administrasi Umum dan
juga dihadiri oleh Kepala Bappedalitbang Kota Surabaya serta perwakilan dari Perangkat
Daerah, Pemerintah Kota Surabaya menyatakan kesiapan mengikuti sertifikasi Kota Sehat
WHO SEARO.
Forum Kota Sehat Nasional yang diwaliki oleh Ibu Yuni Dwi Purwani menyampaikan
bahwa Kementerian Dalam Negeri dan Kementerian Kesehatan mengapresiasi itikad baik dari
Bapak Walikota Surabaya untuk lebih mensejahterakan warganya dari sektor fisik maupun
social melalui jejaring kota sehat WHO SEARO.
“Saya sudah menyampaikan keinginan Kota Surabaya untuk mengikuti jejaring kota
sehat WHO SEARO ke Kemendagri dan Kemenkes. Kedua Kementerian sangat
mengapresiasi inisitiatif dari Bapak Walikota Surabaya,” Yuni menegaskan. Hal ini memperkuat
komitmen Kota Surabaya dalam mendukung program Indonesia Sehat di level nasional.
