Thanks be to the Almighty God, we have finalized this 2022 Report on Accelerating the Reduction of Stunting (PPS). It is hoped that this report provides encouragement and affirmation, as well as recognizes the great contributions that all parties at the national and sub-national level have made to accelerate the reduction of stunting in Indonesia.
Accelerating the reduction of stunting is a difficult endeavor without convergent, collaborative, and integrated actions through a pentahelix approach that combines support from central and regional governments with active engagement of members of academics, businesses, media, and the community. Recognizing the critical role of pentahelix collaboration, BKKBN as the lead in the Implementing Team for the Acceleration of Stunting Reduction, since early on has been garnering the potential of various parties, from professional associations, faith-based organizations, academics, both university instructors and students, to the private sector, media, government ministries and agencies, also local governments. The goal is to ensure there is convergence in the planning and implemen- tation of nutrition-sensitive and nutrition-specific interventions, as well as periodic routine joint monitoring and evaluation.
This report provides an overview on how activities to accelerate the reduction of stunting were implemented in 2022. It describes the things that have been done well, things that need improvement, also barriers and challenges that can inform and refine future implementation of stunting reduction acceleration activities.
At this valuable opportunity, allow us to thank all the parties who have contributed thoughts and ideas to this 2022 Accelerated Stunting Reduction report. We hope this report will bring benefits to our great effort of reducing the rate of stunting in Indonesia.
