Local area monitoring of maternal and child health is crucial for assessing health service quality. In Desa Simpang Tiga, challenges include a manual and unintegrated maternal and child health documentation system and limited cadre competencies in anthropometric measurements, antenatal care data management, and analysis. This community-based empowerment program aimed to address these issues through community partnership empowerment. The program involved focus group discussions and scientific and technical training for Posyandu and PKK cadres. A Wilcoxon Test evaluated the program's effectiveness by comparing pre- and post-training cadre competencies. Results showed significant improvements: cadre competency in anthropometric measurements increased by 20.8% (from 53% to 73.8%) (p < 0.05). Competency in maternal and child health data management and analysis increased by 43.8% (from 33.5% to 77.3%) (p < 0.05). These findings demonstrate the program's success in enhancing cadre competencies in basic maternal and child health measurements and data management in Desa Simpang Tiga.
