“For three years or so, the target number, according to the direction of the President, is to reach 14 percent in 2024," he remarked while delivering a speech at the online National Coordination Meeting in Jakarta on Monday.
BKKBN has compiled three program strategies to accelerate the reduction of stunting in Indonesia, he informed.
He said the first program is named the National Action Plan for the Acceleration of Stunting Reduction (Ran Pasti).
The program aims to sharpen all forms of intervention activities at the upstream level to prioritize the prevention of stunting, he added.
The second program, he said, is an incubation program called Critical Success Factor, which seeks to ensure that families are able to prepare for family life.

"What we have to intervene in order to produce high leverage is to intervene concretely and focus so that resources that are not too large are expected to reduce the stunting rate so that it can be faster," he added.
In the third program, he said, these steps must be supported by an accurate information data collection system, surveillance assistance for families at risk of stunting, and auditing of stunting cases.
"The third one, of course, must be supported by an accurate information data collection system that is carried out in real-time from time to time," Wardoyo remarked.
The National Coordination Meeting on “Moving Together To Accelerate Stunting Reduction” was attended by around 2,600 participants, including representatives of ministries and agencies, governors of 34 Indonesian provinces, 12 leaders of regional organizations related to each province, district heads or mayors, and partners of central and local governments.
