        "content": "<p>Secretary of the Ministry of Population and Family Development, Budi\nSetiyono, emphasized the importance of a precision data-based approach\nbased on name and address, or \u201cby name by address,\u201d as the main\ninstrument in supporting the effectiveness of interventions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis approach allows us to more accurately identify individuals,\nfamilies, and areas requiring priority attention to reach target\ngroups,\u201d he stated on Thursday (June 12).<\/p>\n<p>He also stressed the need to continuously strengthen the data system\nby improving data collection, validation, regular updates, and\nintegration across ministries and agencies.<\/p>\n<p>According to him, quality data is essential for developing\nevidence-based policies that can effectively accelerate stunting\nreduction.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have been building a database of families at risk of stunting\n(KRS) down to the village\/sub-district level, which can serve as a basis\nfor interventions by various ministries\/agencies and local governments,\u201d\nhe noted.<\/p>\n<p>He added that effective coordination must extend beyond the national\nlevel to the regions, where local governments serve as the front line of\nprogram implementation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTherefore, policy support, technical assistance, and capacity\nbuilding of local governments need to be continuously improved to ensure\nthe success of program implementation,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Setiyono said that investing in stunting prevention is crucial for\nstrengthening Indonesia\u2019s future competitiveness. Children who grow up\nin healthy environments and receive proper nutrition are more likely to\nachieve better health, educational outcomes, and economic\nproductivity.<\/p>\n<p>In the long term, these efforts will help improve overall quality of\nlife and support the development of a healthy, skilled, and competitive\nworkforce, enabling Indonesia to maximize its demographic dividend and\nrealize its vision of Golden Indonesia 2045.<\/p>\n<p>The Investing in Nutrition and Early Years (INEY) program from the\nWorld Bank and the National Development Planning Agency (Bappenas) also\nserves as a strategic forum to strengthen synergy between ministries and\ninstitutions to realize more integrated, targeted, and sustainable\nstunting management efforts.<\/p>\n<p>Stakeholder collaboration is essential as stunting is caused by\nvarious factors, including nutrition, healthcare, sanitation, education,\nfood security, and family welfare.<\/p>\n<p>Related news: Indonesia expands free meals to tackle stunting risk:\nminister<\/p>\n<p>Related news: Indonesia\u2019s BGN to maintain six-day MBG rollout in\npriority regions<\/p>\n<p>Related news: Indonesia launches 1,000-day consortium to cut\nmaternal, infant deaths<\/p>\n<p>Translator: Lintang Budiyanti P, Resinta Sulistiyandari<\/p>",
