Indonesia attempted to use its foreign policy to address domestic and
international objectives in its relations with other nations. Due to Indonesia's
success in the 1955 AAC and involvement in the 1961 NAM, the country's
administration used the SSTC mechanism to further local goals. Indonesia
often offers Muslim Religious Leaders (MRLs) international reproductive
health training to bring SSTC to African nations. Analysis of domestic politics
and international aid used in this research. Using secondary data from
literature studies, this research employs a qualitative explanatory case study
methodology. In addition, triangulation analysis based on theory and Nvivo
classification based on analysis of domestic politics and foreign aid are applied.
This research found Indonesia tried to project itself as a nation that
successfully and consistently implements and promotes family planning
worldwide. However, various paradoxes exist in how Indonesian SSTC is
implemented through MRLs activities. Indonesia has a high level of foreign
debt, which goes against religious belief, and the notion that a large family is
necessary for success is the opposite of the success of Indonesian SSTC.
