Abstract

The development of increasingly advanced technology has contributed to the dissemination of information. The simplicity of information on social media can be accessed by anyone, anytime, anywhere using a smartphone. Given the easy availability of information, you have to be smart in choosing and sorting information from social media, so you need to determine whether the information is correct based on data. Therefore, to convey this information, it is necessary to clarify more accurate and effective sources of information. It also improves the knowledge and skills of the service providers involved to increase the coverage of information on the reproductive rights of their families and relatives, as well as information and mediation services in the event of a violation of reproductive rights. Therefore, it is hoped that the role of the media and competent human resources will increase in the provision and dissemination of reproductive health information, especially HIV/AIDS.

Human Resource

Goggin et al. (1990) explain that resources are an important element in policy content. The things that are included in the resources are money and budget, people, time, and expertise. A budget is a resource provided for possible arrangements for financing and/or providing other resources. What is important in the resource aspect is that a variety of resources may be required to implement a policy message, but not all available resources can be easily exchanged for other types of resources. Resources available through policy messages have a direct impact on implementation. Therefore, the greater the resources, the more likely the implementation of the policy will be faster. Policy implementation needs the support of both human resources and non-human resources. Policy implementers must have competence in implementing policies. Competence is possessed by policy implementing resources to understand, absorb, and translate the contents of the policy. Apart from human resources, Van Metter and Van Horn mention that there are financial resources and time resources.
