The prevalence of stunting in Indonesia has shown a decreasing trend since 2013. The Indonesia
Nutritional Status Survey (SSGI) reported the 2022 prevalence to be 21.6%, 2.8 points lower than
the previous year (24.4% in 2021). Much work however remains to be done to lower the rate
further to the targeted prevalence of maximum 14% by 2024, which translates to a decrease in
prevalence of at least 3.8% every year.

As illustrated in Figure 1, all nine indicators of nutrition-specific interventions that are listed in
Attachment A, Presidential Decree (Perpres) 7/2021 are reported here. In terms of achievement,
targets are achieved for 7 (seven) indicators, but not for 1 (one) indicator, while the remaining
one indicator has undetermined achievement.
Achievement cannot be determined for one indicator which is the percentage of infants
aged 6-23 months who receive complementary food (MP-ASI). The target for 2022 was 60%
while data shows that 4,974,380 infants between 6-23 months received complementary food.
The remaining one indicator where the target is not achieved is the percentage of infants
under 6 months who are exclusively breastfed (achievement is 66.4% while the 2022 target
is 70%). Various studies have shown that exclusive breastfeeding up to the age of 6 months
strongly contributes to preventing stunting so the timing of introduction of complementary
food in addition to breast milk is of critical importance since inappropriate timing may be
disadvantagous to a child’s nutritional status.
Figure 1 shows that all the outputs of nutrition-sensitive interventions listed in Attachment B
of Perpres 72/2021 are reported in this report. Out of the 11 indicators, the 2022 target has been
achieved for 6 (six) indicators but not for 5 (five) indicators.
The five indicators where the targets are not achieved are:
(1) Percentage of households in priority districts/cities with access to improved drinking water
(achievement: 93% ; 2022 target: 95.9%),
(2) Percentage of households in priority districts/cities with access to adequate sanitation
(domestic liquid waste) (achievement: 79.06% ; 2022 target: 82%),
(3) Percentage of villages/kelurahan with open-defecation-free (ODF) status (achievement:
57% ; 2022 target: 60%),
(4) Coverage of social assistance program among the bottom 40% of the population (million
population) (achievement: 96.7 million ; 2022 target: 96.8 million), and
(5) Number of poor and vulnerable families who receive non-cash food assistance (million
family beneficiaries) (achievement: 18.66 million ; 2022 target: 18.8 million).
Overall, Indonesia is on track to achieve the stunting national strategy targets, even though
some targets within the 5 pillars of the national strategy have not been achieved optimally in
2022.

Data Available
Pillar 1. As seen in Figure 2, among the 11 (eleven) indicators of Pillar 1 targets, 3 (three) of them
do not yet have data. Out of the 8 (eight) indicators (84%) that have data, targets are achieved
for 4 (four) indicators (50%) but not for the remaining 4 (four) indicators (50%).
The four indicators that require attention to ensure achievement of the national target are:
(1) Coordination meeting at the district/city level (achievement: 493 of 514 districts/cities),
(2) Stunting consultation forum (rembuk) at the sub-district level (achievement: 75.3% sub-
districts ; 2022 target: 100%),
(3) Bupati/mayor policy/ regulation about the authority of villages/kelurahan in carrying out
stunting reduction interventions (achievement: 430 of 540 districts/cities), and
(4) Percentage of districts/cities where stunting reduction acceleration efforts receive
increased allocation from the local budget (APBD) (achievement: 78% ; 2022 target: 100%).

Pillar 2. Based on the illustration in Figure 3, Pillar 2 has 13 (thirteen) indicators, and data are not
available for 4 (four) of them. Of the 9 (nine) indicators that have data, targets are achieved
for 4 (four) indicators (44.4%), but not for the other 4 (four) indicators (44.4%). Attention is
therefore necessary to ensure achievement of the national targets. The last 1 (one) indicator
does not yet have a 2022 target, so target achievement cannot be determined.
The four indicators that require attention to ensure achievement of the national target are:
(1) National campaign on stunting prevention (achievement: 83.6% ; target: 100% 3 channels/
method/month),
(2) Percentage of families who stop open defecation practices (achievement: 89.51% ; 2022
target: 100%),
(3) Percentage of families as beneficiaries of Family Hope Program (PKH) who attend family
development sessions/meetings (P2K2) that discuss the topic of health and nutrition
(achievement: 46.7% ; 2022 target: 70%), and
(4) Interfaith behavior change communication forum for stunting reduction (achievement:
40.8% ; target: 100% districts/cities with 2 forum per year).
The one indicator that does not yet have a target for 2022 is the percentage of soon-to-be-
married couples who receive counseling on stunting prevention (achievement: 1,579 buddhists,
543,734 muslim, 944 hindus).

The seven indicators that require attention to ensure achievement of the national target are:
(1) Number of provinces, districts/cities that integrate accelerated stunting reduction
programs and activities into local planning and budgeting documents (regional long-
term development plan, regional medium-term development plan, regional action plan
on food and nutrition, local government work plan, local budget, and local work plan
and budget) (achievement: 84.6% or 435 out of 514 districts/cities),
(2) Percentage of districts/cities that implement the convergence actions for accelerated
stunting reduction (achievement: 96% ; 2022 target: 100%),
(3) Percentage of villages/kelurahan that integrate accelerated stunting reduction programs
and activities into village/kelurahan planning and budgeting documents (village medium-
term development plan and village government work plan, also village budget, village
work and budget plan) (achievement: 82.4% ; 2022 target: 100%),
(4) Percentage of infants younger than 6 months who are exclusively breastfed (achievement:
66.4%) ; 2022 target: 70%),
(5) Percentage of future reproductive-age couples who receive guidance and education on
reproductive health and nutrition 3 months before marriage (achievement: 66.4% ; 2022
target: 70%),
(6) Percentage of districts/cities with age-specific fertility rate (ASFR) of at least 18 per 1,000
women aged 15-19 (achievement: 24.9% ; 2022 target: 28%), and
(7) Percentage of unmet need for family planning (achievement: 14.7% ; 2022 target: 8%).
There is also one indicator with undetermined achievement because the available data is only in
absolute value. The indicator is the percentage of infants between the age of 6-23 months who
receive complementary food (MP-ASI). A total of 4,974,380 infants received complementary
food, while the 2022 target is 60%.

Pillar 4. As seen in Figure 5, 1 (one) of the 7 (seven) indicators in Pillar 4 does not have data.
Targets have also not been set for indicators that have data available. They are:
(1) Percentage of families at-risk of stunting who utilize home-yard food garden to increase
their nutritional intake (10.5%),
(2) Percentage of families at-risk of stunting who receive promotions to incorporate more
local fish into their diet (13.8%),
(3) Number of pregnant women, breastfeeding women, and under-two children who are
beneficiaries of staple commodities food assistance program* (59,436 beneficiaries),
(4) Percentage of reproductive-age couples in the poor-and-have-social-welfare-issues group
who receive conditional cash assistance (5,289,843 beneficiaries),
(5) Percentage of reproductive age couples in the poor-and-have-social-welfare-issues group
who receive non-cash food assistance (8,802,763 beneficiaries),
Another indicator has no data which is the indicator on the percentage of monitored fortified
food product that is followed up by business actors.

Pillar 5. Figure 6 illustrates that data is available for all 18 (eighteen) indicators of Pillar 5, and
the targets for 13 (thirteen) indicators are achieved (72.2%), but attention is needed for the
remaining 5 (five) indicators (27.8%) to ensure achievement of national targets.
The five indicators that require attention to ensure achievement of national targets are:
(1) Percentage of provincial and district/city governments with good convergence in
accelerating stunting reduction (achievement: 69% ; 2022 target: 71%),
(2) Monitoring and evaluation of accelerated stunting reduction activities at the provincial
government level (achievement: 29 of 34 provinces in 2022),
(3) Monitoring and evaluation of accelerated stunting reduction activities at the district/city
government level (achievement: 345 of 514 districts/cities in 2022),
(4) Monitoring and evaluation of accelerated stunting reduction activities at the village
government level (achievement: 72.6% of 83,733 villages in 2022), and
(5) Percentage of districts/cities that implement an electronic nutrition surveillance system as
part of nutritional intervention monitoring to reduce stunting (achievement: 75.49% ; 2022
target: 90%).
Partnership Program
Stunting is a multidimensional issue that requires a concerted and integrated effort where
different sectors and all stakeholders through an inclusive partnership work together to
accelerate the reduction of stunting in Indonesia. In this regard, pentahelix partnerships have
been created between the government, businesses, civil society, development partners,
academics, and other organizations, and all these initiatives have contributed to accelerating
the reduction of stunting. The partnerships that have been built are among others, the
Foster Father of Stunted Children (BAAS), Guidance for Family of Golden Under-five Children
(BKB) and Excellent Integrative Holistic Guidance for Family of Under-five Children (BKB HIU),
Smart Poster of Stunting (POSTER PINTAR), Road Show with the Indonesian Army, and Home
Renovation of families at-risk of stunting.
Conclusion
The Government of Indonesia has made significant progress in quickly reducing the prevalence
of stunting as shown by the 2022 Indonesia Nutritional Status Survey (SSGI) that reports the
stunting prevalence as 21.6%, a further decrease from the 24.4% prevalence in 2021. Much
work however remains to be done to further reduce the prevalence and achieve the target
of 14% by year 2024. As discussed in the previous section, various initiatives and strategies
have been implemented, and most of the indicators have achieved the 2022 target.
Recommendations
Recommendations as informed by the achievements and challenges in accelerating stunting
reduction throughout 2022 are as follows;
(1) Tag the budgets associated with stunting, determine the percentage of village fund
that should be used for stunting reduction activities; optimize the tools to monitor and
identify any increase in the provincial budget that is allocated for stunting reduction
interventions;
(2) Strengthen multisectoral coordination;
(3) Strengthen the capacity and skills of family support teams (TPK) to provide education,
counseling, and support to at-risk families;
(4) Establish an integrated recording, monitoring and evaluation system that can be utilized
by the TPPS, the Task Force, and TPK; and
(5) Equip religious leaders with technical knowledge and encourage them to join the effort
of accelerating the reduction of stunting in Indonesia.

The Government of Indonesia is strongly committed to reducing stunting and has taken
decisive steps to accelerate nutritional improvement and stunting reduction in Indonesia
as stated in the National Medium-term Development Plan (RPJMN) for 2020-2024. Stunting
is impaired growth and development of children as a result of chronic malnutrition and
recurring infection, and is characterized by body length or height that is below the standard
set by the minister who manages government affairs in the field of health.
Starting in 2013, stunting rates in Indonesia have been on a downward trend and in 2022,
survey on the nutritional status in 486 districs/cities within 33 provinces of Indonesia (SSGI)
reported the stunting prevalence as 21.6%, a 2.8% decrease from the 24.4% prevalence in
2021 (MOH, 2022). The target is to further reduce stunting prevalence to maximum 14% by
year 2024, translating to an average reduction of 3.8% per year. Significant work therefore
lies ahead to ensure achievement of the target.

To support the achievement of national targets, the President of the Republic of Indonesia
issued Presidential Decree number 72/2021 on Accelerating the Reduction of Stunting. A
stunting reduction strategy was developed with the following objectives:
(VI) Increase access to drinking water and sanitation focusing on specific target groups that
consist of adolescents, soon-to-be-married couples, pregnant and breastfeeding women,
and children aged 0-59 months.
As follow up to the Presidential Decree number 72/2021, the Head of National Population
and Family Planning Board (BKKBN) issued Regulation of the Head of BKKBN number
12/2021 on National Action Plan to Accelerate the Reduction of Stunting in Indonesia for
2021-2024. The regulation regulates the mechanism, procedure, structure, tasks, and
function of the Team for the Acceleration of Stunting Reduction (TPPS) at all levels of the
government, from the central level, to the province, district/city and down to the village
level. This regulation serves as a reference that guides government ministries/agencies
and local governments in implementing stunting reduction interventions.
Head of the National Population and Family Planning Board (BKKBN) as Leader of the
Implementing Team for the Acceleration of Stunting Reduction (TPPS) has been coordinating
all the parties at the national and sub-national level to work together on Indonesia’s
accelerated stunting reduction agenda. As of December 2022, TPPS has been established in
all provinces and districts/cities (100%), in 95% of sub-districts and 97% of villages/kelurahan.
Evaluation of stunting reduction acceleration is based on 20 intermediate target indicators
(Attachment A of Presidential Decree number 72/2021), 71 output indicators (Attachment
B), and priority activities listed in the National Action Plan to Accelerate the Reduction of
Stunting in Indonesia (RAN PASTI).
@ B K K B N o f f ic ia l w w w . b k k bn.g o , id17
Team for the Acceleration of Stunting Reduction
National Population and Family Planning Board - 2023
As a form of concrete actions to accelerate the reduction of stunting in Indonesia, the Pre-
sident of the Republic of Indonesia through Presidential Decree (Perpres) number 72/2021
gives a mandate that efforts to accelerate the reduction of stunting should include nutri-
tion-specific and nutrition-sensitive interventions through convergent, holistic, integrated,
and high-quality activities that are jointly implemented by different sectors at the central,
regional, and village levels.
Attachment A of Perpres 72/2021 lists the intermediate targets that stunting reduction in-
terventions must achieve, which are divided into 2 (two) groups: 1) availability of nutrition-
specific interventions that have 9 (nine) indicators and 2) availability of nutrition-sensitive
interventions with 11 (eleven) indicators.
Nutrition-specific interventions directly address the cause of stunting and are general-
ly carried out by the health sector, for example interventions around dietary intake,
infection prevention, mother’s nutritional status, and monitoring of child growth and
development.
Out of the 9 (nine) indicators, all the targets are achieved, except for 1 (one) indica-
tor, which is the percentage of infants under 6 months who are exclusively breastfed
(achievement is 66.4% while the 2022 target is 70%). It is known that exclusive bre-
astfeeding up to the age of 6 months strongly contributes to preventing stunting, so
the timing of introduction of complementary food is of critical importance since inap-
propriate timing may be disadvantageous to a child’s nutritional status.
There is also 1 (one) indicator with undetermined achievement, namely the percentage
of infants aged 6-23 months who receive complementary food (MP-ASI). Data shows
that 4,974,380 infants received complementary food, and the 2022 target is 60%.
Pregnant women with Chronic Energy Deficiency (CED) who receive nutritional sup-
plements. In the first and second semester of 2022, 82.7% and 89.1% of pregnant wo-
men with CED respectively received nutritional supplements. This shows that the inter-
vention has achieved and even exceeded the 2022 target of 85.0%.
Pregnant women who take at least 90 Iron-Folic Acid (IFA) tablets during pregnancy.
The second indicator in nutrition-specific intervention is the percentage of pregnant
women who consume at least 90 Iron-Folic Acid (IFA) tablets during pregnancy, and
the 2022 target is 60.0%. The achievement was not measured in the first semester of
2022, and was 87.1% in the second semester, which means that the target is met.
Infants under 6 months who are exclusively breastfed. Exclusive breastfeeding for
the first 6 months is critical for an infant’s nutritional and health needs. For 2022 the
target is 70.0% and the achievement for semester 1 and 2 is 65.4% and 66.4% respecti-
vely. This shows that efforts need to be intensified to increase achievement and meet
the target.
Infants aged 6-23 months who receive complementary food (MP-ASI). The fifth indica-
tor is the percentage of infants between the age of 6-23 months who receive comple-
mentary food and the 2022 target was set to be 60.0%. Data for this indicator is only
available for the second semester of 2022 and is in absolute number; 4,974,380 infants.
Children under five years of age with severe malnutrition who receive intervention
as part of standard management of malnutrition. The target for 2022 is 83.0%, whi-
le the achievement in semester 1 and 2 is 82.6% and 90% respectively. The combined
achievements have met the target for 2022.
Children under five years of age who receive growth and development monitoring.
The target is to monitor 75% of children in 2022. The target was achieved in the second
semester (78.3%), but in semester 1 only 24% of children were monitored, indicating
that there were challenges in monitoring the growth and development of under-five
children.
Malnourished children under five years of age who receive nutritional supplements.
This is the eighth indicator, and the target that must be achieved in 2022 is 80%. The
achievement was 64.9% in semester 1 and increased to 84.5% in semester 2.
Children under five years of age with complete basic immunization. For this indicator,
the target was for at least 90% of under-five children to have completed their basic
immunization. In semester 1, the percentage was only 64.9%, which means that a lot of
under-five children have not received complete basic immunization, but in the second
semester, the percentage increased to 97.5%.

Target achievement of indicator 4 (infants younger than 6 months who are exclusively
breastfed) is not optimal.

complementary food (MP-ASI).
Attachment 2 shows that the targets for 5 (five) of the 11 (eleven) indicators of nutrition-
sensitive interventions have not been achieved in 2022. Those indicators are:
(1) Percentage of households in priority districts/cities with access to improved drinking
water (achievement: 93% ; 2022 target: 95.9%),
(2) Percentage of households in priority districts/cities with access to adequate sanitation
(domestic liquid waste) (achievement: 79.1% ; 2022 target: 82.1%),
(3) Percentage of villages/kelurahan that achieve Open-Defecation-Free (ODF) status
(achievement: 57% ; 2022 target: 60%),
Postpartum family planning service (PPFP). This indicator measures the percentage of
women who give birth and receive contraceptive service postpartum, and the 2022 target
is 50%. In the first semester, only 7.9% women received PPFP, but the percentage sharply
increased to 52.6% in the second semester. This shows that postpartum family planning
service delivery has significantly increased in the second semester.
Households with access to improved drinking water. This indicator measures the
percentage of households in priority districts/cities that have access to improved drinking
water, and the target is 95.9%. The achievement in semester 1 was not recorded, while in
semester 2 it was 93%.
Households with access to adequate sanitation. The target for this indicator is 82.1% while the
achievement data is not available in semester 1, and is 79.1% in semester 2. This indicator provides
indication on how many households in priority regions have access to adequate sanitation.
Coverage of social assistance program among the bottom 40% of the population. This
indicator measures the number of poor people, primarily those in the bottom 40% of the
population, who receive social assistance from the government. The target is for 96.8
million people of the lowest income group to receive social assistance. In semester 1, social
assistance programs were able to reach 87.3 million of people from the lowest income
group, while in semester 2, the coverage increased to 96.7 million people.
Families at-risk of stunting who receive support. Support is provided in the form of
information and education about nutrition and health, also psychosocial support, and
health monitoring of children. The hope is for families to receive knowledge and skills to
maintain a balanced diet and good health. The target for this indicator was 30% and the
achievement in semester 2 was 42.7%. This percentage shows that support can potentially
be expanded to reach more at-risk families.
Target population in priority sites with good comprehension about stunting. The target is
for 70% of the target population to have good comprehension about stunting by year 2024.
In 2022 the achievement in semester 2 was 74%, which has exceeded the target.
Number of poor and vulnerable families who receive non-cash food assistance (million
poor families). In the first semester, 18.2 million poor and vulnerable families received
food assistance, and in the second semester the number increased to 18.6 million. Even
though the number is still below the 2022 target, there was a 2.53 % increase in achievement
between the first and second semester.
Villages/kelurahan with open-defecation-free (ODF) status. The target for this indicator
is 60%, meaning that the expectation is for 60% of villages/kelurahan in a region to achieve
an ODF status. In semester 1, 50.6% of villages/kelurahan achieved the ODF status, and in
semester 2, the percentage increased to 57%. Achievement in the first semester shows that
only 50.6% of villages/kelurahan successfully achieve the ODF status, which is still below
the targeted percentage but in the second semester, the percentage increased to 57%,
indicating there is improvement in the performance and progress toward the target.

Team for the Acceleration of Stunting Reduction
National Population and Family Planning Board - 2023
To accelerate the reduction of stunting, the Government of Indonesia through Presidential
Decree number 72/2021 established 5 pillars of stunting reduction as mandates in the National
Strategy to Accelerate Stunting Reduction. The 5 pillars are as follows:
1. Commitment and vision of the leadership in ministries/agencies, and in provincial, district/
city and village governments;
2. Behavior change communication and community empowerment;
3. Convergence of nutrition-specific and nutrition-sensitive interventions at national,
provincial, district/city and village levels;
4. Food and nutrition security at the individual, family, and society levels; and
5. System, data, information, research, and innovation.
Activities to increase the commitment of the leadership from the central level, to the
provincial, district/city and village levels have 8 (eight) indicators that are considered
as outputs. Out of the 8 (eight) expected outputs, 3 (three) have not been obtained in
2022, namely:
1. Coordination meeting at the district/city level. Approximately 493 of 514 districts/
cities have held tiered coordination meetings (central and provincial level).
2. Stunting consultation forum (rembuk stunting); approximately 75.3% of the 7,281 sub-
districts in Indonesia have organized a stunting consultation forum.
3. Bupati/Mayor policy/regulation about the authority of villages/kelurahan in stunting
reduction initiatives. Out of the 514 districts/cities, 430 have published a regulation on
this matter.
Data is unavailable for 1 (one) output, which is the number of villages/kelurahan that are
free of stunting.
At the central level, increased commitment to accelerating the reduction of stunting is in the
form of the following activities:
Source: bkkbn.go.id
Target is fully achieved for 1 (one) output, which is the number of PKH mentors who
receive training on health and nutrition. Up to end of 2022, 7,659 out of the targeted
6,000 PKH mentors have been trained (127.6% achievement).
Data is however unavailable for the other 2 (two) outputs, namely a) the number of village
officials who receive capacity strengthening support to manage accelerated stunting
reduction programs and b) percentage of villages/kelurahan whose human development
cadres receive guidance from their respective district/city government.
Pillar two aims to increase people’s awareness and understanding about stunting, also
promote behavior change toward stunting prevention. Activities under this pillar are
coordinated by the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Communication and Information
Technology. Direct education and campaign have been performed through various platforms,
using conventional media as well as social media. Pillar 2 objectives are achieved through
three primary strategies:
1. On Going Behavior Change Communication and Campaign.
Data is unavailable for 1 (one) indicator which is the percentage of families who practice
a clean and healthy lifestyle (in the process of gathering data).
To achieve the national target, 1 (one) indicator needs attention, which is the percentage
of Family Hope Program (PKH) beneficiaries (KPM) who attend family development
sessions (P2K2) that discuss the topic of health and nutrition. The 2022 achievement is
46.7% while the target is 70%.
There are 3 (three) indicators for which data are not available. They are a) percentage
of village/kelurahan with Early Childhood Education (PAUD) teachers who have received
education and training on child care, stimulation, and management of stunting from
the district/city, b) percentage of Early Childhood Education (PAUD) institutions that
develop a Holistic Integrative Early Childhood Education (PAUD-HI) program, and c)
delivery of standardized growth and development monitoring service in posyandus
(integrated health service posts).
To achieve the national target, attention should be paid to 1 (one) indicator that looks
at an interfaith behavior change forum for stunting reduction. At present, the target
of holding this forum at least twice a year is only achieved in 40.8% of the 514 districts/
cities.
Inavailability of a 2022 target also results in inability to determine the target achievement
for 1 (one) indicator, which is about the percentage of soon-to-be-married couples who
receive premarital counseling on stunting prevention (the number of couples who
received counseling is 1,579 buddhists, 543,734 muslim, 944 hindus).
Activities under the communication strategy (StraKom) are jointly coordinated by the
Ministry of Health, who focus on the behavior change communication component, and
the Ministry of Communication and Information Technology, who focus on national
campaign on stunting prevention. The communication strategy acts as a guide for
relevant stakeholders to develop their own local BCC strategy and accelerate stunting

reduction at the provincial, district/city, and village level. The strategy gives detailed
description about target audiences, messages that are relevant to behavior change,
also other technical elements like interpersonal communication platform, choice of
communication channels, and policy advocacy activities.
As shown in Figure 11, [1] 220 Districts/Cities have published a regulation on behavior
change communication (BCC) about stunting, [2] 141 Districts/Cities already have a BCC
strategy document and [3] 93 Districts/Cities are already implementing interpersonal
communication (IPC) to reduce stunting. The target for year 2023 and 2024 is for all 514
Districts/Cities to have implemented the three above initiatives.
The Ministry of Health has conducted a national campaign that promotes the 5 (five)
stunting prevention movements focusing on two life phases and 11 intervention programs
including education, information, and promotion. Programs cover the two life phases that
have the highest determinants of stunting. The five movements of stunting prevention
are:
a. Aksi Bergizi (Action on Nutrition) Movement: the goal is to build a habit of exercising,
eating breakfast and taking IFA (iron folic acid) tablet to reduce the anemia rate among
teens. Activities include anemia screening, morning exercise, healthy breakfast, and
IFA tablet consumption. The Aksi Bergizi movement was launched simultaneously in
34 provinces on 26 October 2022, participated by around 6,420 schools and 2,289,871
students.
b. Healthy Pregnant Women: the goal is to improve the health of pregnant women by
more frequent pregnancy check up and increased knowledge of pregnant women. The
campaign ran from 14 December to 22 December 2022 in 34 provinces simultaneously.
c. Active Posyandu: activities aim to expand the coverage of growth and development
monitoring during posyandu services as part of early detection, and prevention of
malnourishment and stunting.
d. Cadre Jamboree: the goal of this movement is to improve cadres’ capability to deliver
service.
In partnership with the Ministry of Health, in 2023 BKKBN will support the national
campaign on 5 movements of stunting prevention by strengthening the information,
education and communication activities on accelerated stunting reduction as part of
behavior change communication for stunting prevention.
Engaging religious leaders is a behavior change method that can be effectively applied
to many target audiences including adolescents, soon-to-be-married couples, pregnant
and breastfeeding women, mothers of under-five children and other influential groups.
The National Halaqoh was held as a hybrid event. Offline participants were 24
representatives of Religious Educator Working Group (Pokjaluh), also Heads of the Ministry
of Religious Affairs’ Regional Office in 12 stunting priority provinces, and leadership of
islamic community organizations at the central level. A total of 32,661 people from various
institutions also attended the event virtually as a form of support to stunting reduction

acceleration. They are religious educators, religious teachers, Head of Religious Affairs
Office, also representatives of regional offices of the Ministry of Religious Affairs, regional
offices of BKKBN across Indonesia, and other ministries/agencies.
The Ministry of Religious Affairs is committed to having the religious educators under
its ministry play a stronger role in the accelerated stunting reduction (PPS) program.
The fast-paced technology era demands speed and online-based performance, and
Islamic Religious Educators/Counselors (PAI), both civil servants and non-civil servants,
also utilize technology in the form of e-PAI application. Since 2021, the e-PAI application
has been modified to e-PA that allows direct visualization of the results of guidance and
counseling/education that have been given.Administrative management is easier with
e-PA due to its direct documentation and data recapitulation, giving an indication of the
creativity and performance of counselors/educators in the field.
Of the 22 (twenty-two) indicators in Pillar 3, data is unavailable for 1 (one) of the indicators,
while the remaining 21 (twenty-one) indicators have data. Targets are achieved for 10
(ten) indicators (47.6%), but not for 7 (seven) indicators which will require attention in
order to achieve the national target (33.3%). Targets also need to be set for 3 (three)
indicators (14.2%), while achievement is still undetermined for 1 (one) indicator (4.8%).
Up to 84.6% of the 34 provinces, and 435 of the 514 districts/cities that are prioritized for
accelerated stunting reduction program have allocated funds from their local budget for
the program.
Three indicators have undetermined achievement. They are 1) the percentage of villages/
kelurahan that allocate more funding from the village/kelurahan fund for nutrition-
specific and nutrition-sensitive interventions to reduce stunting (achievement is 72.6%),
2) percentage of infants aged 6-23 months who receive complementary food (MP-ASI).
Data shows that 4,974,380 infants received complementary food, and 3) percentage of
villages/kelurahan that implement community-led total sanitation (CLTS) (achievement is
86%).
Data is still unavailable for 1 (one) indicator, which is the percentage of future reproductive-
age couples/future mothers who receive iron-folic acid (IFA) tablets.
3.4. Pillar 4. Food and Nutrition Security at the Individual, Family, and
Society Level
Pillar 4 promotes policies that increase access to nutritious food which is a key factor in
increasing food security in Indonesia. This pillar has two main strategies.
3.4.1. Fulfillment of food and nutrition needs of individuals, families, and the public, including
the needs during disasters
Fulfillment of individual, family and community needs for food and nutrition that include
the needs during a disaster is monitored through 6 (six) indicators. Achievement cannot
be determined yet because the 2022 targets have not been set. The indicators are as
follows:
One indicator that measures the increase in food fortification quality has no data, which
is the indicator on the percentage of monitored fortified food product that is followed
up by business actors.
Strengthening of the integrated monitoring and evaluation system that is put in place
for accelerated stunting reduction is shown in the form of 8 (eight) indicators. The 2022
target is not achieved for 4 (four) of the indicators:
1) Percentage of provincial and district/city governments with good convergence in
accelerating stunting reduction. This is achieved by 345 (69%) districts/cities, while the
target is to have 360 districts/cities (71%) with such performance.
2) Monitoring and evaluation of accelerated stunting reduction activities at the provincial
government level.
3) Monitoring and evaluation of accelerated stunting reduction activities at the district/
city government level.
4) Monitoring and evaluation of accelerated stunting reduction activities at the village
government level at least twice a year. At present, this has been achieved by 72.58% of
villages.
There is 1 (one) indicator that still has undetermined achievement which is the indicator
on audit of stunted under-two children (achievement: 86.5%).
Activities to develop an integrated data and information system has 5 (five) indicators as
output. One of the indicators has undetermined achievement, which is the percentage
of districts/cities that implement an electronic nutrition surveillance system as part of
nutritional intervention monitoring to reduce stunting. The achievement is 96.5%.
This activity has 4 (four) output indicators, and the 2022 target is achieved for all 4 (four)
indicators. They are:
1) Establishment of a knowledge-sharing platform for acceleration of stunting reduction.
The website www.cegahstunting.id is now available.
2) A recognition and reward system for regions with good performance in accelerating
stunting reduction is currently being developed.
3) Availability of a financial incentive system for regions with good performance in
integrating accelerated stunting reduction activities; and
4) Review of government budget and spending for accelerating stunting reduction. (see
Chapter 6).

National Population and Family Planning Board - 2023
The National Action Plan to Accelerate Stunting Reduction in Indonesia year 2021-2024,
known as RAN PASTI for 2021-2024 is a national action plan that guides coordination,
synchronization, and integration of programs that central-level ministries/agencies, local
governments at the provincial, district/city, and village level, and other stakeholders
implement in order to produce human resources that are healthy, smart, and productive.
To improve the organization and coordination between sectors that contribute to the five
pillars of stunting national strategy, activities in the national action plan are divided into
the following clusters;
The three clusters above are interrelated and influence one another to form a system.
The National Action Plan consists of priority activities that at a minimum include:
1. Provision of data on families at-risk of stunting;
2. Support to families at-risk of stunting;
3. Guidance to soon-to-be-married couple/future reproductive-age couple;
4. Surveillance of families at-risk of stunting; and
5. Audit of stunting cases.
Family at-risk of stunting is defined as a family with one or more stunting risk factors
that include presence of a family member who is a teenage girl/is soon to be married/is
pregnant/is an infant aged 0-23 months/is a child between the age of 24-59 months; low
economic status; low educational level; poor environmental sanitation; and lack of access
to improved drinking water.

Guidance and support that is provided to families consists of education, facilitation for
accessing referral service and social assistance, all of which aim to provide increased access to
information, and service. Priority target groups are pregnant women, postpartum women, and
children aged 0-59 months. In addition, as part of premarital services, all soon-to-be-married/
future reproductive-age couples receive guidance on this matter 3 (three) months before the
wedding to enable early detection of stunting risk factors, minimize the impact of those risk
factors or prevent stunting.
BKKBN has formed Family Support Teams (TPK) to carry out the support function. A team
consists of a midwife, a TP-PKK cadre (family welfare and empowerment organization mobilizing
team), and a family planning cadre whose tasks are to counsel and educate families, facilitate
referral service and social assistance, and monitor the families and at-risk target groups (soon-
to-be-married/future reproductive-age couples, pregnant women, postpartum women, and
under-five children) for early detection of stunting risk factors.
Integrated guidance and support activity that was jointly carried out by 19 ministries/agencies
to 12 priority provinces between June and November 2022 reported several critical findings on
family support activities (P2S KSP Integrated Support Report):
1. Inadequate ability of Family Support Team (TPK) members to guide at-risk families. Many
families have not received support.
2. There is a need to provide operational support and honorarium to Family Support Teams,
particularly to teams who have to cover a great distance to visit their target families.
3. Application-based recording and reporting is less optimal since a lot of TPK members do
not understand how to use the application, while target families are often located in areas
that are far with poor internet connection.
Recommendations:
1. Improve the education and counseling knowledge and skills of Family Support Teams
(TPK);
2. Review the arrangement of support activities and adjust the honorarium to increase the
team’s motivation and work quality;
3. Increase the reporting skills of TPK for both application-based and manual reporting, also
maximize the use of manual reporting in areas with limited internet connectivity.
Audit Stunting Case is a priority activity as stated in the Regulation of the Head of BKKBN
number 12/2021 on National Action Plan to Accelerate the Reduction of Stunting in Indonesia
for 2021-2024.
Audit Stunting Case is an effort to identify risks and causes of stunting in the target population
using routine surveillance data or other data sources. The purpose is to screen difficult cases
and address underlying issues that may be present in at-risk target populations that include
Audit of stunting cases is carried out through the following 4 (four) activities:
a. Form an audit team,
b. Audit stunting cases and manage family support activities,
c. Disseminate findings, and
d. Follow up on findings.
To increase the Audit Stunting Case capacity of district/city government staffs, the Directorate
of Family and Under-five Children of BKKBN has organized 6 coaching sessions on audit stunting
case between May and November 2022.

Team for the Acceleration of Stunting Reduction
National Population and Family Planning Board - 2023
Stunting is a multidimensional issue that requires a concerted and integrated effort where
different sectors and all stakeholders through an inclusive partnership work together to
accelerate the reduction of stunting in Indonesia. In this regard, many multi-party partnerships
have been created between the government, businesses, civil society, development partners,
academics, and other organizations, and all these initiatives have contributed to accelerating
the reduction of stunting.
One program that is aimed to meet the food and nutrition needs of individual child is the
Foster Father of Stunted Children (BAAS) program, which is a movement to mobilize all
elements of the nation to collaboratively accelerate the reduction of stunting by directly
targeting families who are at-risk of stunting. The program was initiated to lessen the
load of the central and regional governments to provide supplementary food (PMT),
install healthy latrines, provide clean water and other supporting facilities to families at-
risk of stunting.

As the leader of the Implementing Team for the Acceleration of Stunting Reduction
(KP3S) in Indonesia, BKKBN continues to engage in various innovative efforts to further
reduce the prevalence of stunting in Indonesia and reach the 14% target by 2024. One
innovation is an Important Poster Orientation program that will be implemented in five
pilot provinces through a collaboration with the 1000 Days Fund of Seribu Cita Bangsa
Foundation.
Activities are in the form of training about IMPORTANT POSTER for 3,000 midwives
who will be part of family support teams, also procurement and distribution of 23,000
IMPORTANT POSTER to families who have under-five children. Support will also include
a national webinar.

As part of activity series for the 29th National Family Day 2022 in North Sumatra Province,
an event that was attended by the President of the Republic of Indonesia, BKKBN
collaborated with PT. Pertamina (Persero) and the Indonesian Army and organized
a program that provides Home Renovation and Nutrition-specific Interventions to
families at-risk of stunting in North Sumatra province, specifically in Medan City and
Deli Serdang District. The program was implemented in the area of the Military District
Command (Kodim) 0201/Medan and Kodim 0204/Deli Serdang. Assistance was provided
to 30 (thirty) and 10 (ten) families in Medan and Deli Serdang respectively in the form of
home renovation to provide improved living conditions, and food assistance to at-risk
families.

Team for the Acceleration of Stunting Reduction
National Population and Family Planning Board - 2023
The total 2022 budget that is available from Government Ministries/Agencies State Budget
(APBN) for accelerating stunting reduction is IDR 34.1 trillion, which was used for nutrition-
sensitive interventions (IDR 29.2 trillion), nutrition-specific interventions (IDR 4.1 trillion) and
other activities related to guidance, coordination, and technical assistance (IDR 861.9 billion).
Rp1,4 T Rp2,3 T Rp1 T Rp3,7 T Rp0,6 T Rp1,4 T Rp0,4 T Rp2,4 T Rp0,86 T Rp4,1 T
Note: The number of Ministries/Agencies has changed from 19 in 2021 to 17 in 2022 due to restructurization
of BATAN (National Nuclear Energy Agency) and BPPT (Agency for the Assessment and Application of
Technology) to become BRIN (National Research and Innovation Agency)
As illustrated in Figure 19 above, the Central Government has allocated quite a large budget
for stunting reduction each year, particularly in 2020 when the budget allocation for social
protection was increased due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The budget proportion for nutrition-
specific interventions is much lower than the proportion for nutrition-sensitive interventions.
The average Ministry/Agency budget allocation for nutrition-specific interventions from 2018
to 2022 is only 9%. In 2022 it was only 11.97%, which was the programmatic budget of the
Ministry of Health.
One way to accelerate the reduction of stunting is by allocating sufficient funds to various
interventions. Over the years, nutrition-sensitive interventions generally receive more
funding than other interventions. In the 2021 fiscal year, 92% of the total budget for stunting
reduction was allocated for nutrition-sensitive interventions. The fund is commonly provided
to social assistance program for families of pregnant women and under-two children.
The budget allocation for nutrition-specific interventions is still low (11.7%) and will need to be
increased in the future considering that nutrition-specific interventions address the immediate
determinants of stunting. Nutrition-specific interventions also have quite a large target, which
needs to be supported with an adequate budget.
The Special Allocation Fund (DAK) has been supporting the acceleration of stunting
reduction since 2018. In general, the policy of the Physical (DAK Fisik) and Non-Physical
DAK (DAK Non Fisik) for FY2022 is the same as the FY2021 policy, with strengthened
program activities and program convergence across sectors. A specific change that
was made to FY2022 DAK was the elimination of DAK Fisik for Environment and DAK
Non Fisik for operational assistance to early childhood education (BOP PAUD). A list
of sectors and activities that are funded by DAK Fisik in FY2022 to accelerate stunting
reduction is provided in Table 4 below.
Table 3. Budget Allocation for Accelerating Stunting Reduction in FY 2022 (thousand IDR)
3 Family Planning (FP) Facility and infrastructure for accelerating Focus on facility and
stunting reduction infrastructure
Funding from FY 2022 DAK Non Fisik to the accelerated stunting reduction program is as follows:
b. Procurement of goods for stunting reduction through the DAK Fisik mechanism has
been incomplete due to administrative delays, also delays in the procurement process
and activities implementation. This creates an opportunity for misuse and deviation in
the use of DAK Fisik for stunting reduction program.
c. Funding allocation that is available from DAK Non Fisik does not match the number of
priority sites and targets.
Recommendations
a. The unit cost of stunting reduction activities that is used in the budget of DAK Fisik
should allow complete achievement of the program’s targeted output, which in
turn will advance a variety of development programs. At the same time, review on
an appropriate unit cost should be conducted since the start of the budget planning
process to prepare for the following year’s DAK Fisik.
b. It is hoped that all parties, primarily the Government Internal Supervisory Apparatus
(APIP), will participate in the monitoring and evaluation of the procurement process of
DAK Fisik, from planning to execution, to delivery of goods. If additional supervision is
needed, the government can encourage civil societies to be involved in the monitoring
by providing input, reports or by participating in other supervision mechanism such as
a social audit.
c. Relevant parties need to jointly set targeted priorities of DAK Non Fisik spending by
introducing an indicative allocation that can be used as a ceiling for DAK Non Fisik and
focus on priority sites and target populations that are not typically supported by DAK
Non Fisik. Efforts are also needed to mobilize alternative sources of funding to cover
resource gaps that cannot be covered by DAK Non Fisik.
Each year, from FY 2019 to FY 2022, priority district/city governments have been requesting
more support from the local budget (APBD) for stunting reduction, and the amount of budget
that is allocated has also been increasing. In 2022, 490 districts/cities (95.3%) tagged stunting
reduction in the APBD through the aksi.bangda website.

7.1. Conclusion
The Government of Indonesia has made significant progress in quickly reducing the prevalence
of stunting as shown by the 2022 Indonesia Nutritional Status Survey (SSGI) that reports the
stunting prevalence as 21.6%, a further decrease from the 24.4% prevalence in 2021. Much work
however remains to be done to further reduce the prevalence and achieve the target of 14% by
year 2024. Various initiatives and strategies have been implemented, and as discussed in the
previous section, indicators show that most of the 2022 target have been achieved, except for
some that still need improvement. Overall, the strategy and national action plan to accelerate
stunting reduction have been implemented following the set policy direction. The conclusions
from the 2022 Accelerated Stunting Reduction report are:
b. Pillar 2. Out of 13 (thirteen) output indicators, data is unavailable for 4 (four) of them.
Among the 9 (nine) indicators that have data, the target is achieved for 4 (four)
indicators as follows:
i. Percentage of children under five years of age with complete basic immunization
(achievement: 97.5% ; 2022 target: 90%).
ii. Percentage of villages/kelurahan that hold parenting classes for families with
under-five children (BKB) to guide them about child care practices during the first
1,000 days of life (achievement: 91.7% ; 2022 target: 70%).
iii. Percentage of Adolescent Information and Counseling Centers (PIK-R) and
Adolescent Family Development (BKR) programs that provide youth with
education on reproductive health and nutrition (achievement: 99.7% ; 2022 target:
70%).
iv. Number of districts/cities that have a minimum of 20 basic-level trainers and
provide education and training about child care, stimulation and management
of stunting to teachers of early childhood education (PAUD) (achievement: 122
districts/cities (122%) ; 2022 target: 100 districts/cities).
d. Pillar 4. Of the 7 (seven) indicators in Pillar 4, data is unavailable for 1 (one) indicator,
while 2022 target has not been set for the remaining 6 (six) indicators. Achievement is
therefore still undetermined for the six indicators below:
i. Percentage of families at-risk of stunting who utilize home-yard food garden to
increase their nutritional intake (achievement: 10.5%).
ii. Percentage of families at-risk of stunting who receive promotions to incorporate
more local fish into their diet (achievement: 13.8%).
iii. Percentage of family beneficiaries who have a pregnant woman, a breastfeeding
woman, or an under-two child in the family and receive food assistance outside
rice and eggs (carbohydrates, animal protein, plant protein, vitamins and mineral
and/or complementary food/MP-ASI) (achievement: 59,436 beneficiaries).
iv. Percentage of reproductive-age couples in the poor-and-have-social-welfare-issues
group who receive conditional cash assistance (achievement: 5,289,843 beneficiaries).
v. Percentage of reproductive-age couples in the poor-and-have-social-welfare-issues
group who receive non-cash food assistance (achievement: 8,802,763 beneficiaries).
vi. Percentage of reproductive age couples who are poor and needy who become
contribution assistance recipients (PBI) of the social health insurance program
(achievement: 15,207,801 beneficiaries).
e. Pillar 5. Of the 18 (eighteen) indicators of Pillar 5, the target has been achieved for 13
(thirteen) of the indicators as listed below:
i. Percentage of village government with good convergence in their stunting reduction
acceleration interventions (achievement: 46.2% or 31,171 villages ; target: 40%).
ii. Publication of stunting data at the district/city level once a year in the form of SSGI
Pocket Book.
iii. Monitoring and evaluation on the implementation of the national strategy on
accelerating stunting reduction twice a year.
iv. Audit of stunted under-two children (achievement: 86.5% ; 2024 target: 50%).
v. Availability of a fund transfer system to the sub-national level, and village/
kelurahan fund that supports integrated stunting reduction acceleration.
vi. Availability of an integrated data and information system on accelerated reduction of
stunting. The “Satu Data Stunting” platform is currently in the development process.
vii. Availability of data on families at-risk of stunting that is updated through the
Family Information System (SIGA) every 6 months.
viii. Availability of a screening and counseling system for future, soon-to-be-married
reproductive-age couples.
7.2. Challenges
Integrated guidance to 12 priority provinces (Report on Integrated Guidance by the
Coordinating Ministry for Human Development and Cultural Affairs/Kemenko PMK)
reports several challenges that must be overcome to accelerate stunting reduction in
Indonesia. They are:
l Budgetary commitment to stunting reduction is not reflected in regional planning
documents.
l Limited understanding about convergence at various levels; convergence actions
have not been implemented broadly.
l Regional medium-term development plan and strategic plan do not necessarily put
stunting as a priority program.
l Inavailability of a technical guideline on the percentage of village fund that should
be allocated for stunting.
l Data are scattered across sectors and there is yet to be a mechanism for data sharing
and utilization.
l Inavailability of data for several indicators.
l Inadequate capacity of Family Support Teams (TPK).
l Inadequate sensitization of rules/regulations from the central level to the provincial,
district and village level.
l Limited engagement of universities, partners, faith-based organizations, and
community organizations with regional governments.
l Inavailability of a guideline on monitoring and evaluation of convergence.
7.3. Recommendations
l Budget: Provide clarification about the tagging of budgets associated with stunting
activities for implementation of convergence at the regional level; determine the
percentage of village fund that should be used for stunting reduction activities;
optimize the tools to monitor and identify any increase in the provincial government
budget (APBD) that is allocated for accelerated stunting reduction.
l Coordination: a coordination forum at the central and regional level is necessary
to strengthen program planning, implementation, and evaluation; a guideline and
mapping of the role of partners and universities at the regional level is needed.
BKKBN supports the convergence between accelerated stunting reduction policy at the
regional level and role of universities in supporting regional governments. As part of the
threefold mission (Tri Dharma) of higher education, universities should be encouraged to
support local governments in stunting reduction effort as a way to apply all the innovations
a university has developed, implementing them within the framework of accelerating the
reduction of stunting. In this regard, support has been provided by 296 universities in
317 districts/cities. A Policy Review on Accelerated Stunting Reduction Program in 6 (six)
islands of Indonesia year 2022 has the following conclusions:
