Abstract

Stunting prevention requires collaboration between parents, government, and the community. This program is focused and prioritized on handling specific nutrition in the first 1000 days of life until the child is 6 years old. The government continues to make efforts in handling stunting, one of which is by empowering posyandu. Efforts are made by designing various programs and implementing programs that involve cadres in the regions. The utilization of posyandu in overcoming stunting is in accordance with the vision of the Ministry of Health, which is to create an independent and equitable healthy society with a mission to improve the degree of public health, through community empowerment, including private and civil society. Posyandu is a form of Community-Sourced Health Efforts (UKBM) implemented by, from, and with the community, to empower and provide convenience to the community to obtain health services, especially for mothers, babies, and children. The posyandu target community is the target of specific nutrition interventions in handling stunting. Posyandu cadres have a very important role in posyandu activities. In implementing posyandu activities, cadres are required to be active in promotive and preventive activities, as well as motivators for community members. The role of cadres is very important because cadres are responsible for the implementation of the posyandu program, if cadres are not active, the implementation of posyandu will also be unsmooth and as a result the nutritional status of infants or toddlers cannot be detected early clearly. This will directly affect the success rate of the posyandu program, especially in monitoring the growth and development of toddlers.
