The problem found in Posyandu Pudak Wangi, Lok Bahu Village, Sungai Kunjang Subdistrict, Samarinda, is the lack of cadre skills in taking anthropometric measurements. To overcome this problem, an intervention was designed in the form of anthropometric measurement training that focused on measuring body weight, height, upper arm circumference (LILA), and head circumference. The anthropometric measurement training aims to improve the skills of cadres in measuring body weight, height, upper arm circumference (LILA), and head circumference. This empowerment activity involves two main programs, namely anthropometric measurement training for cadres and making anthropometric measurement modules by cadres. The partners of this activity were seven cadres of Posyandu Pudak Wangi. Evaluation was carried out using direct observation and assessment methods to measure changes in cadres' knowledge and skills. The result of this activity was an increase in cadres' knowledge and skills related to anthropometric measurements, followed by the creation of modules as practice guidelines. This intervention is expected to contribute to improving maternal and child health services at Posyandu.
