Abstract

The 2018 Basic Health Research (Riskesdas) showed that the prevalence of stunting in Indonesia was 30.8%. Linear growth impairment or often referred to as stunting occurs mainly in the first 2- 3 years of life. It is a manifestation of the interaction effect between the lack of energy and nutrient intake and the incidence of infection. The program aims to empower families and communities and expand the reach of basic health services to accelerate the reduction of maternal and infant mortality.Translated with DeepL.com (free version) The causes are lack of food intake, presence of infectious diseases, mother’s lack of knowledge about stunting, wrong parenting, poor sanitation and low health services. In addition, the community has not realized stunting children as a problem, because stunting children in the community are seen as children with normal activities. By looking at the problem of these partners, this community partnership program aims to provide knowledge an information to the community in order to prevent and overcome stunting problems. The results achieved in this community partnership program, namely, participants have knowledge about: (a) the meaning and characteristics of stunting; (b)the factors that cause stunting; (c) the infact of stunting; (d) how to prevent and overcome stunting; and (e) how to improve the quality of nutrition services for children
