Peningkatan Partisipasi Masyarakat terkait Edukasi Gizi melewati program posyandu untuk mengatasi resiko stunting Desa Sukamantri

Abstract

Stunting is a chronic nutritional problem that negatively affects children's growth and development. The BKKBN KKN program at Universitas Muhammadiyah Bandung in Sukamantri Village aims to increase community participation in nutrition education through posyandu. The main activities include socialization of posyandu cadres, Supplementary Feeding (PMT), and Healthy Kitchen to Overcome Stunting (DASHAT). The cadre socialization on 1 September 2024 aims to increase knowledge about nutrition innovations and stunting prevention technologies. The PMT activity on 20 August 2024 focused on improving the nutrition of children under five, while the DASHAT program on 29 August 2024 provided balanced nutrition education to pregnant women and mothers of children under five. The results showed an increase in community knowledge about the importance of fulfilling balanced nutrition to prevent stunting. However, limited participants and resources were a challenge in implementing the program. The sustainability of the program is expected to ensure the reduction of stunting risk in Sukamantri Village.
