Punch the Poo (Tinju Tinja) Open Defecation Awareness

Punch the Poo (Tinju Tinja) Open Defecation Awareness

Executive Summary
Based on the Joint Monitoring Program report (2014), published by UNICEF and the World Health Organization (WHO), 55 million people in Indonesia practice open defecation, making it the second highest number in the world after India. Open defecation is linked to many preventable yet potentially deadly diseases such as diarrhea and pneumonia – chief contributors to more than 370 under-five deaths per day in this country.

Although progress is being made through on-ground efforts conducted by UNICEF and the Government of Indonesia, there is a strong need for active participation by the public at large.

Unicef and its agency launched Tinju Tinja or Punch the Poo campaign. Tinju Tinja campaign introduced a villain named Ninja Tinja (“Poo Ninja”) digital campaign, collaborating with Melanie Subono, a rock-star singer, to raise the awareness that Indonesians need to stand up against Open Defecation.
The campaign successfully built awareness amongst the netizens and youth in general, creating 392.4 million impressions making it the most unique non profit digital campaign in Indonesia, the first of its kind.

Objectives:
1. To raise the awareness about Open Defecation in Indonesia
2. Invite netizens to raise the Open Defecation issue further to a larger audience

Challenges:
1. Youth in big cities are not really aware and concerned about this social issue, since they think it will not affect them directly.
2. Open defecation is a taboo topic in Indonesia, nobody wants to talk about it openly. It’s a very difficult topic to be discussed in the digital area.
Nobody want to be involved or associated with this topic.
3. Poo is very disgusting, and challenging to be visualized, yet the campaign needs to be visual and attractive.
4. Data about open defecation is not easy to digest, boring, and uninteresting especially for the young netizens.

Target Audience Analysis
1. Brand Ambassadors and Influencers
We need to work with brand ambassador and influencers to make this campaign popular. Yet most feel disgusted about the topic and declined
our request of partnership.

influence government policies. Yet most Netizens were not aware for feel interested in this issue.

Planning & Execution
