Consequently, the health and dietary behaviors of pregnant mothers are vital in preventing
stunting in children. Stunting is the result of chronic and often intergenerational malnutrition,
coupled with frequent illness due to various factors such as a caregivers lack of education, use
of unsafe water, an unsanitary environment, limited access to food, and poverty. Stunted growth
is associated with impaired cognitive development and lower productivity. Children who suffer
from stunted growth often grow into adults with physical limitations, high susceptibility to
communicable and non-communicable diseases, and low cognitive capabilities that hinder
employment opportunities, which may also lead to higher fertility rates. All of these work
together to minimize lifetime earning potential.
Community-Based Health and Nutrition to Reduce Stunting Project: The GoI, with the support
of the MCC, will undertake a new initiative to eradicate stunting among children under two years
of age. The new initiative is the Community-Based Health and Nutrition to Reduce Stunting
Project. The project objectives are to prevent low birth weight babies; to prevent childhood
stunting; to prevent malnourishment of children and women in project areas; and to increase
household income through cost savings, improved productivity, growth, and higher lifetime
savings. The project has three activities as defined in the compact:
1. Community Projects Activity: Community block grants and participatory technical
assistance to communities through an expansion of the Program National Pemberdayaan
Masyarakat Generasi Sehat dan Cerdas or the National Community Empowerment
Program, Healthy and Smart Generation (PNPM GSC or PNPM Generasi) to new
locations;
2. Supply Side Activity: Training to service providers, sanitation and hygiene activities,
provision of multiple micronutrient supplements for pregnant women and children aged 6
24 months, materials to measure childrens height, service-provider incentives, and
possible private sector interventions; and
3. Communications, Project Management and Evaluations activities: A national effort
aimed at increasing awareness about childhood stunting, its causes, its consequences, and
its prevention.
The total budget for the 3 activities of this project is USD 131.5 million. Project implementation
