Almost one out of every three children in Indonesia, or 31%, are stunted. That means more than two million children under five are malnourished.

Malnutrition costs Indonesia more than US $5 billion annually due to lost productivity as a result of poor education standards and diminished physical capability.

Nutrition International’s priority objectives in Indonesia include:

• Increasing the number of children receiving vitamin A supplements
• Establishing a national zinc supplementation program as treatment for childhood diarrhoea
• Increasing consumption by all populations of adequately fortified wheat flour
• Increasing the number of households consuming adequately iodized salt
• Increasing the number of pregnant women and adolescent girls receiving iron and folic acid supplements, and taking them properly and in a sustained manner
• Improving flour fortification standards, legislation and quality control in order to reduce risks of iron deficiency anaemia and folate deficiency in women and adolescent girls
• Providing technical assistance to the government for scaling up nutrition programs in Indonesia, a member of the Scaling Up Nutrition (SUN) Movement
• Extending support to governments to effectively implement nutrition policies, plans, and catalyse effective utilization of nutrition resources and funding
• Improving nutrition during the pre-pregnancy stage as well as across the critical first 1,000 days
• Influencing local governments to replicate our piloted activities
