## History

Family planning in Indonesia was started with founding of Planned Parenthood Federation (Perkumpulan Keluarga Berencana) on 23 December 1957 and became Indonesia Planned Parenthood Federation (Perkumpulan Keluarga Berencana Indonesia) and recognized by Department of Justice as legal person in 1967. On 17 October 1968, the Department of People's Welfare (Departemen Kesejateraan Rakyat) established National Family Planning Board (Lembaga Keluarga Berencana Nasional). In 1970, National Family Planning Board transformed into National Family Planning Coordinating Board (Badan Koordinasi Keluarga Berencana Nasional) which had great challenge into family planning.
In 1999, family planning was mandated to be decentralised. Some family planning responsibility was shared to provincial, city, and regency responsibilities. The decentralization started in 2004.
In 2009, National Family Planning Coordinating Board was transformed into National Population and Family Planning Board (Badan Kependudukan dan Keluarga Berencana Nasional). The transformation reflected in mission of creating a visionary development of the population and creating a prosperous small family. The responsibility was expanded from family planning only with population control.
On June 13, 2013, President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono finally appointed the former Deputy Minister of Education and Culture, Prof. Fasli Jalal as Head of the National Population and Family Planning Board (BKKBN).
In 2024, President Prabowo Subianto in the Red and White Cabinet created a new ministry nomenclature with the name of the Indonesian Ministry of Population and Family Development. The incumbent minister will concurrently serve as Head of the National Population and Family Planning Agency. The first minister to serve during Prabowo's term was Wihaji.
