BACKGROUND AND IMPLEMENTATION CHALLENGES: Indonesia has made significant progress in the adoption of smoke-free policies. By 2024, 481 out of 514 cities and districts had implemented subnational smoke-free regulations. However, challenges persist in the effective enforcement of these policies, partly due to the absence of measurable data and comprehensive monitoring tools.
INTERVENTION OR RESPONSE: To address these challenges, the Ministry of Health and WHO Indonesia collaboratively developed an innovative tool known as the Smoke-Free Area Dashboard (Dashboard Kawasan Tanpa Rokok). This web-based platform was designed to monitor and visually represent the progress of smoke-free policy implementation across cities and districts. The dashboard incorporates four key assessment components: regulation, inspection, enforcement, and compliance. Data collected by subnational smoke-free taskforces include records of random inspections, enforcement actions, and compliance assessments. Each component contributes to a cumulative score that determines the overall implementation ranking for each city and district.
RESULTS AND IMPACT: By 2024, approximately 413 cities and districts had actively utilized the smoke-free dashboard. The platform recorded data for 21,814 venues subjected to random inspections, resulting in 942 sanctions issued to violators of subnational smoke-free policies.
CONCLUSIONS: The Smoke-Free Area Dashboard serves as a critical information system for monitoring and enhancing the enforcement of smoke-free regulations. It provides subnational smoke-free taskforces with the tools needed to more effectively implement and enforce these policies, thereby strengthening tobacco control efforts at the local level.
