At the global level, stunting is also a priority based on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), especially related to the 3rd and 2nd SDGs, namely "good health and well-being" and "zero hunger". In this regard, the Semarang City Government has targeted that by 2024 the city will be free of stunting or zero stunting. On the other hand, the city of Semarang still records quite significant stunting data, namely 912 cases in 2024.
