Research purposes : To find out more in-depth information about the effectiveness of the BAAS (Foster Father of Stunting Children) program in the form of input, output and process indicators in order to reduce the incidence of stunting in Gintungkerta Village, Kari District, Karawang Regency in 2022.

Output: "... after evaluating the total assistance in implementing the BAAS program this month, the results were 21 out of 53 stunted toddlers who were declared to have graduated were not stunted anymore or it could be said that they were normal in terms of weight/height..." (BD2) Conclusion : Input: Involvement in the implementation of the BAAS program is not only BKKBN, DinKes, sub-districts and villages, but because there are many factories in the Gintungkerta Village area, there are several companies that are supporting the BAAS program for 53 people targeted for stunting toddlers. Process : The accompanying team/cadres deliver the BAAS program to the target in the form of ready-to-eat PMT that has been processed.
