Abstract

The transformation of public services from conventional to digital is being intensively conducted in Indonesia. This is an effort toward achieving good governance and bureaucratic reform. In addition, digital-based services are expected to increase the independence and participation of Indonesia’s citizens. Sidoarjo, a city in East Java, Indonesia, has a digital maternal and neonatal care service which involves multiple actors. This study aimed to examine community empowerment through the digital maternal and neonatal care service in Sidoarjo. This research employed a qualitative method with a purposive technique to determine the informants. This research found that the maternal and neonatal care service made the local communities gain new abilities and ways to participate in the network of the government. The communities, through multi-stage processes, improved their networking, communication and cooperation, and increased the competence of the community to act as an influential participant in public services. In this case, the communities were viewed as subjects or actors with the ability to develop. The community is not just a participatory object as a whole, but it is made up of actors involved in the public service process.
