The Quality Family Village Program (Kampung Keluarga Berkualitas / KB) is one of the government’s programs to address population problems and other problems involving the integration of population programs, family planning, family development (Bangga Kencana), and development of other sectors in order to improve people’s quality of life. However, to ensure that the implementation of the Quality Family Village Program is successful, cooperation between all stakeholders is needed, including family planning village cadres, government officials, and the community. This study examines how the government apparatus synergizies with field-level officers. In order to find out how successful the implementation of KB Village is in districts / cities, it is necessary to evaluate and monitor the formation and implementation of Family Planning Village that are already underway in each district / city, whether the program has synergy in the field, which is the purpose of the article. This research is an evaluative study with data collection carried out through quantitative and qualitative approaches. This study was conducted using an evaluative method with a descriptive exploratory design to see the synergy of the success of KB Villages.
