Many children in Indonesia suffer from malnutrition. The issue receives huge media coverage but there is a substantial lack of access to educational information on healthy nutrition, targeted in particular to mothers.
The Caravan Gizi Project aims to work on this by
communicating the ten indicators to look out for in order to confirm the signs of a well-nourished child.
The project is aimed at mothers from 15 cities (Medan, Pekanbaru, Palembang, Jakarta, Botabek, Bandung, Yogyakarta, Semarang, Surabaya, Malang, Denpasar, Makassar, Manado, Balikpapan and Samarinda). It has been implemented in 710 public health centers / hospitals in these cities, where training sessions have been conducted, reaching a total of 50,000 mothers. During these sessions, the ten signs of a well-nourished child are highlighted, height and weight measurements conducted, and children health passport distributed.
