ZeroStunting Officially Releases Donation Platform at the National Coordination Meeting of Stunting Setwapres

To report several stunting in Indonesia over the past year, the Vice President's Secretariat (Setwapres) held a National Coordination Meeting (Rakornas) on Stunting by inviting elements of the central government, provincial and district/city governments, development partners, business partners, non-governmental organizations, and universities, as well as other stakeholders. 

The meeting led by KH Ma'ruf Amin as Vice President of the Republic of Indonesia and Chair of the Steering Committee for the Acceleration of Stunting Reduction (TPPS) said that over the past five years the prevalence of stunting has decreased by 9.3% or an average of 1.85% from 2018-2023. He added that the decline in stunting was one and a half times faster than the period 2013-2018. 

Vice President expressed his gratitude to all parties involved in efforts to reduce stunting in Indonesia. The results of hard work, efforts, and collaboration carried out by all parties will have a major impact on future generations. He hopes that the handling of stunting in the next government can be improved even better. 

In line with this, the National Coordination Meeting held at the Grand Sahid Jaya Hotel, Jakarta also invited ZeroStunting to discuss the program to accelerate stunting reduction at the national level on September 4-5, 2024. Having the opportunity to attend the annual event, ZeroStunting opened a booth to demonstrate the 1 Day 1 Egg program and the release of the zerostunting.com donation website. 

Showing as a stunting management program based on nutrition and agriculture, ZeroStunting uses eggs as an intervention tool that is easily accessible with affordable price to improve the nutrition of stunted children. Since September 2022, 1 Day 1 Egg Program by ZeroStunting has been implemented in 11 regions for beneficiaries to consume one egg every day for 6 months. By the impementation, ZeroStunting has reduced the stunting rate by an average of 17.1% during 2023. 

In realizing joint steps to reduce stunting rates, networking during the National Stunting Coordination Meeting with stakeholders received a positive response for collaboration toimplement the 1 Day 1 Egg program, especially in areas that have not been reached by ZeroStunting. 

Before expanding to unaffected areas, ZeroStunting officially launched the zerostunting.com website as a fundraising platform for improving the nutrition of stunted children. Starting from 3 areas with fairly high stunting rates in Subang, Sukabumi, and Marunda, it can encourage other areas to become part of the ZeroStunting program. 

In addition to being enthusiastic about the program, visitors in booth were also interested in playing spin wheel as a mini game to get exclusive merchandise from ZeroStunting, handfans, keychains, and mini notebook. Before visitors play the spin wheel, visitors should donate a minimum of Rp20.000 via the QR Code displayed on the booth banner. 

For 2 days, ZeroStunting successfully collected donations of Rp2,755,000 from 72 Kawan Sakti. Total donation will be distributed to handle stunting in Subang, West Java, Sukabumi, West Java, and Marunda, North Jakarta.
