Under five-nutrition is still a major problem in Indonesia and one that has not improved much over the last decade. Indonesia is off track to meet MDG1. In fact, Indonesia ranks the fifth in world for the total number of children under five suffering from stunted growth and lags significantly behind other similar middle-income Asian countries in key nutrition indicators. Stunting prevalence among children under five years old (U5) was 37% in 2007 and it had only decreased slightly to 36% by 2010. The percentage of underweight U5 old Indonesian children has remained stagnant at 18% since 2007. In addition, maternal anemia is estimated at 44% and more than 11% of Indonesian children are born with low birth weights. Low birth weight prevalence has actually increased in Indonesia during the 2000s. Therefore, actions are required to address the high rate of stunting in these districts, particularly by targeting the most vulnerable populations including pregnant women, neonates, infants, and young children. In this project Save the Children will contribute to this by building an Infant and Young Child Feeding IYCF programming model to address stunting including increasing demand for nutrition and health services; improving the availability and quality of those services; and improving household nutrition practices. We will compliment this by working to enhance the enabling environment and the impact of services that do exist. We will implement all actions through current structures so that good practices can be replicated. Our targeted, multi-faceted, and intensive approach will allow us to share lessons learned throughout the two target districts and the East Java province in order to seek scale-up of promising actions principally by using public sector health and nutrition funding. All activities will contribute to achieving the objectives of the overall GAIN BADUTA nutrition project in Indonesia and fit within the overall structure of the broader project.
