Abstract

The condition of stunted physical and mental growth of children is a serious problem in human development in various countries, including Indonesia. Young women, as future mothers, have an important role in preventing stunting in the next generation. This article reviews the important role of maternal nutrition in efforts to reduce stunting rates in adolescent girls. First, this article will outline the risk factors for stunting that are often found in adolescent girls, such as malnutrition during their growth years, limited access to nutrition education, and limited knowledge regarding the importance of balanced nutrition. Next, we will discuss how good maternal nutrition during pregnancy and breastfeeding has a significant impact on child growth. Adequate and balanced maternal nutrition will provide children with good basic capital for their growth and development. Increase awareness of adolescent girls about the importance of balanced nutrition, through nutrition education in schools, outreach in the community, and better access to reproductive health services. In this context, the role of families, educators and the government in supporting young women to have a good understanding of nutrition will be emphasized, specifically maternal nutrition plays a key role in efforts to reduce stunting rates in future generations. Young women are a group that needs special attention in this effort, because they will become future mothers who will shape the quality of their children's growth and development. Comprehensive efforts, ranging from nutrition education to systematic support in getting good nutrition during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

Abstract

Stunting remains a severe problem in public health, including in Indonesia, and tackling it requires cross-sectoral efforts and integrated public policies. This study analyzes public policies on stunting reduction, especially national programs and strategies in Indonesia. The research method used is public policy analysis, including identifying, describing, and evaluating existing policies and factors influencing their implementation. The study collected data from various sources, including policy documents and academic literature. The results of the analysis show that the Indonesian government has implemented various national programs and strategies to reduce stunting. These programs include nutrition interventions, maternal and child health services, health education, and community empowerment. The national strategy adopted includes a cross-sectoral approach, active community participation, increased accessibility, and health system strengthening. Nevertheless, implementing public policies to stunt reduction is faced with various challenges. These challenges include budget constraints, suboptimal cross-sectoral coordination, public awareness, and environmental factors affecting child nutrition. In addition, evaluation of the impact and effectiveness of the program is also an essential focus in improving the success of stunting reduction efforts. The study suggests several policy recommendations to improve the effectiveness of stunting reduction in Indonesia. The recommendations include increasing budget allocations for nutrition programs, improving cross-sectoral coordination through establishing more effective coordination mechanisms, increasing community participation through a community-based approach, and strengthening regular program monitoring and evaluation.
