Bunda Cermat: Integrating Financial, Nutrition and ICT Literacy for Women in Indonesia

ICT applications such as mHealth have the potential to be an enabler in increasing the welfare and capacity of communities, such as the improvement of mother and child health. However, their implementation can often be hindered by many issues, including unfamiliarity with the technology. This is especially true in more resource-constrained settings such as rural areas in Indonesia. This paper describes a framework of a community education program that integrates ICT, health and financial literacy in order to increase mother and child health and nutrition for resource-constrained communities.
