Abstract

Stunting is a condition of growth failure of a child, both body and brain, therefore stunting must be prevented. Stunting prevention was carried out through various efforts, including activity groups (Poktan). This study aims to analyze the distribution of Poktan in Maluku and its problems and to analyze the integration of Poktan in reducing stunting. The research was conducted using secondary data sourced from Representative Office of BKKBN Maluku and various relevant literature sources as well as conducting formal and informal discussions with several staff from Representative BKKBN of Maluku and with research team from Pattimura University. The results showed that the distribution of Poktan in Maluku was evenly distributed in every region, but in terms of numbers it was still uneven. The problems faced by Poktan in Maluku include the lack of facilities and infrastructure of internet-based communication and transportation to support the implementation of Poktan functions, the number of assistants was still lacking, and the awareness of Poktan officers or assistants on the importance of data was still low. Poktan integration has taken place but needs to be improved so that it is better for supporting the reduction of stunting in Maluku. In addition, it requires cooperation between various parties from the government, the private sector, universities, the community, and various of mass media.

Abstract

The results showed that the response of farmers to extension activities carried out by extension workers in Suli Village, Salahutu District, Central Maluku Regency was in the fairly good category. It is known that the visiting activities carried out by extension workers make good communication established with farmers, the preparation of extension materials which still lacks the impact of knowledge on farmers, the physical readiness of extension workers, the suitability of extension time that is not in accordance with the farmer's time where extension workers do not make promises to farmers in advance during extension activities, and the approach used by extension workers often uses an individual approach to farmers because extension agents find it easy to get responses from farmers in a short period of time. The availability of aids and teaching aids is greatly reduced, in the future it is hoped that there will be additional teaching aids and aids to help farmers understand and understand the material presented. There is a significant relationship between age, formal education level, and farming experience with the response given to extension activities, meaning that productive age will work better and maximally when compared to non-productive farmers, the higher the level of education a person will have the quality of skills increases in degree farming experience and superior understanding, thereby higher the level of experience and skills possessed by farmers in carrying out their activities in farming.
