This paper reports on a participatory study on poverty in a village in the Kabupaten (District of) Aceh Timur in 2008. Gampong Cahya is a village community almost entirely reliant on agriculture and thus highly vulnerable to economic and environmental shifts such as fuel price rises and agricultural pests.

This study aims to identify the contributing factors and root causes impacting child labour in tobacco-growing areas, and to provide a representative situation of children and/or youth working in agriculture and on small-scale tobacco farms in Indonesia.

Indonesia has seen an emergence of local health care financing schemes over the last decade, implemented and operated by district governments. Often motivated by the local political context and characterized by a large degree of heterogeneity in scope and design, the common objective of the district schemes is to address the coverage gaps for the informal sector left by national social health insurance programs.

This study collected opinions from leaders at the national level supported by two subnational case studies to better reflect urban and rural conditions. Data and information at the national level were gathered through in-depth interviews with potential informants; data in the urban and rural case study areas was collected through in-depth interviews and FGDs.
