Abstract

Stunting remains a major nutritional problem in Indonesia, particularly in East Nusa Tenggara Province, including Rote Ndao Regency, where prevalence rates remain above the World Health Organization threshold. Stunting prevention requires comprehensive strategies that extend beyond medical interventions by strengthening the role of families as primary caregivers. This community service activity aimed to enhance family capacity in stunting prevention through balanced nutrition socialization using a family empowerment approach. The program was conducted in Lobalain District, Rote Ndao Regency, in July 2025, involving 25 mothers with school-aged children and toddlers. The intervention consisted of nutrition education, interactive discussions, and practical simulations of preparing nutritious meals using local food resources. Program evaluation was carried out through pre-test and post-test assessments to measure knowledge improvement and observation of participants’ food processing skills. The results demonstrated a significant increase in maternal nutrition knowledge, with mean scores rising from 60.0 to 78.2 (p < 0.05). Participants also showed improved skills in processing local foods into nutritious products. These findings indicate that a family empowerment-based approach is effective in strengthening maternal knowledge and skills, contributing to sustainable stunting prevention efforts at the household level.

Abstract

Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) play a strategic role in the local economy, including in Ngrapah Village, Banyubiru District, Semarang Regency. However, most MSME actors still face limitations in financial recording and bookkeeping, particularly in utilizing simple digital technologies such as Microsoft Excel. This community service activity aimed to improve the understanding and skills of MSME actors in preparing simple bookkeeping using Microsoft Excel to support more systematic and efficient financial management. The activity was conducted using a participatory approach through socialization sessions, hands-on practice, discussions, and individual mentoring supported by a simple bookkeeping module. The participants consisted of 30 individuals in Ngrapah Village. Evaluation was carried out using a pre-test and post-test approach. The results showed a significant improvement in participants’ understanding. Before the activity, 100% of participants did not understand business bookkeeping, whereas after the activity, 96.7% became highly knowledgeable and 3.3% were knowledgeable. In addition, 93.3% of participants demonstrated a high level of understanding in using Microsoft Excel for financial recording, and 90% stated that the activity was highly beneficial for their businesses. These findings indicate that socialization and mentoring on simple Excel-based bookkeeping are effective in improving accounting literacy and strengthening the financial management capacity of MSMEs in a sustainable manner.

Abstract

Capacity building for village officials is essential for strengthening public services and local governance, particularly in remote island settings. This community service programme aimed to improve the capacity of stakeholders in Desa Para to prepare a participatory, evidence-informed, and sustainable Village Medium-Term Development Plan (RPJMDes). The programme involved 15 participants: 10 village officials, three members of the Tourism Awareness Group, and two members of the Village Elders Council. Activities were delivered through interactive lectures, guided practice, and group discussions. Evaluation was formative and qualitative, based on participant engagement, completion of planning exercises, group outputs, and facilitator observations. The process indicated improved understanding of sustainable village development, adaptive governance, community participation, and the strategic function of RPJMDes. Participants were also able to identify local potentials and problems, apply SWOT and needs analyses, formulate strategic objectives, and begin preparing priority-programme matrices. However, the absence of standardized pre- and post-tests means that the magnitude of change could not be quantified. Continued mentoring is required to strengthen data literacy, programme indicators, and finalization of the RPJMDes document.

Abstract

Cardiovascular disease is a leading cause of mortality and is associated with risk factors such as hypertension, diabetes mellitus, obesity, smoking, physical inactivity, and unhealthy dietary patterns. This community service activity aimed to improve participants’ knowledge of cardiovascular disease prevention, estimate 10-year cardiovascular risk, and provide risk-based counseling. The activity was conducted on June 7, 2026, at Limboto Community Health Center, Gorontalo Regency, involving 66 purposively recruited participants enrolled in the Chronic Disease Management Program (Prolanis). Activities included a pretest, interactive health education, blood pressure and anthropometric measurements, risk-factor interviews, cardiovascular risk estimation using the 2007 WHO/ISH Non-Laboratory Risk Prediction Chart for South-East Asia Region B, individual counseling, and an immediate posttest. The proportion of participants with good knowledge increased descriptively from 13 (19.7%) before education to 48 (72.7%) afterward. Screening results showed that 22 participants (33.3%) were at low risk, 18 (27.3%) at moderate risk, 14 (21.2%) at moderately high risk, 9 (13.6%) at high risk, and 3 (4.6%) at very high risk. Overall, 26 participants (39.4%) were categorized as having moderately high to very high risk and received counseling and priority follow-up recommendations. The activity identified participants requiring more intensive monitoring and showed a descriptive improvement in knowledge. However, causality cannot be inferred because the evaluation used a pretest–posttest design without a comparison group and an immediate posttest. Health education, cardiovascular risk screening, counseling, and monitoring should be integrated into routine Prolanis activities.

Abstract

Nutritional problems among children under five remain a concern in Rote Barat Laut District, while local food resources such as sorghum and fish have not yet been optimally utilized in community-based food processing. This community service program aimed to strengthen the practical capacity of Posyandu cadres to utilize local food resources through the production of sorghum-fish nuggets to support supplementary feeding activities (Pemberian Makanan Tambahan or PMT). The program involved 30 participants, consisting of 15 Posyandu cadres and 15 mothers of children under five, and included a needs assessment, nutrition education, production demonstrations and hands-on practice, packaging, distribution, and an introduction to basic marketing. Pretests and posttests were administered as part of the formative evaluation. Following supervised practical sessions, all 15 cadres completed the main production and packaging stages during the simulation session, as documented through direct observation by the implementation team. The activity produced 100 nuggets, which were divided into 20 packages and distributed through mothers or caregivers to 20 children under five registered at the Posyandu. A cadre-based group was also initiated as an initial platform for follow-up production and marketing activities. The program demonstrated the preliminary feasibility of practice-based training for promoting the utilization of local food resources. However, further evaluation is required regarding formulation standardization, nutritional content, food safety, acceptability, and post-program sustainability.
