<![CDATA[ABSTRAK Angka stunting di Indonesia terus menunjukkan penurunan signifikan, dari 27,7% pada tahun 2019 menjadi 19,8% pada tahun 2024, namun masih terdapat kesenjangan antarwilayah dengan prevalensi tinggi di beberapa provinsi. Salah satu faktor penyebabnya adalah rendahnya pengetahuan dan keterampilan orang tua serta kader posyandu dalam pemenuhan gizi anak, khususnya dalam pengolahan bahan pangan lokal untuk Pemberian Makanan Tambahan (PMT). Pelatihan dan pendampingan pemanfaatan bahan pangan lokal menjadi strategi efektif untuk meningkatkan kemampuan tersebut sekaligus mendorong kemandirian pangan keluarga. Melalui optimalisasi potensi pangan lokal yang melimpah, kegiatan ini diharapkan dapat memperkuat peran masyarakat dalam upaya pencegahan dan penanganan stunting secara berkelanjutan di Indonesia. Meningkatkan pengetahuan dan keterampilan orang tua serta kader posyandu dalam mengolah bahan pangan lokal menjadi PMT pemulihan bagi anak stunting serta mendukung pemenuhan gizi balita secara mandiri dan berkelanjutan, serta berkontribusi dalam menurunkan prevalensi stuntingdi tingkat keluarga dan masyarakat. Kegiatan dalam bentuk pelatihan, pendampingan dan lomba kreasi cipta menu bahan pangan lokal untuk anak stunting. Hasil: kegiatan pelatihan dan pendampingan pemberian PMT 90 hari menunjukkan hasil 4 balita berat badan normal, 2 balita berisiko gizi lebih dan 2 balita dengan gizi kurang. 1 Balita dengan penyakit infeksi telah dilakukan rujukan ke RS. Pelatihan dan pendampingan pemanfaatan bahan pangan lokal efektif meningkatkan pengetahuan, keterampilan, dan kemandirian orang tua serta kader dalam pembuatan PMT bergizi seimbang bagi anak stunting. Kegiatan ini berkontribusi nyata terhadap perbaikan status gizi anak dan percepatan penurunan angka stunting di masyarakat.

ABSTRACT The stunting rate in Indonesia continues to show a significant decline, from 27.7% in 2019 to 19.8% in 2024. However, disparities remain between regions, with high prevalence in several provinces. One contributing factor is the low knowledge and skills of parents and integrated health post (Posyandu) cadres in meeting children's nutritional needs, particularly in processing local food ingredients for supplementary feeding (PMT). Training and mentoring in the use of local food ingredients is an effective strategy to improve these skills while encouraging family food self-sufficiency. By optimizing the abundant potential of local food, this activity is expected to strengthen the role of communities in sustainable stunting prevention and management efforts in Indonesia. Increasing the knowledge and skills of parents and integrated health post (posyandu) cadres in processing local food ingredients into recovery PMT for stunted children and supporting the fulfillment of toddler nutrition independently and sustainably, as well as contributing to reducing the prevalence of stunting at the family and community level. Activities in the form of training, mentoring and competitions to create local food menus for stunted children. 90-day PMT training and mentoring activities showed results for 4 toddlers with normal weight, 2 toddlers at risk of overnutrition, and 2 toddlers with malnutrition. One toddler with an infectious disease was referred to the hospital. Training and mentoring on the use of local food ingredients effectively increases the knowledge, skills, and independence of parents and cadres in preparing nutritionally balanced PMT for stunted children. This activity significantly contributes to improving children's nutritional status and accelerating the reduction of stunting rates in the community.
