Introducing TP2AK
The Stunting Reduction Acceleration Team (TP2AK) was formed to support the implementation of the National Strategy for Accelerating Stunting Reduction under the coordination of the Deputy for Policy Support for Human Development, Secretariat of the Vice President (Setwapres) of the Republic of Indonesia.
TP2AK’s task is to ensure the synchronization of national, local, and community programs with a multisectoral approach through program convergence at all levels, based on the Five Pillars of Stunting Prevention.
Five Pillars of Stunting Prevention
Pillar 1: Commitment and Vision of the Highest Leadership
The first pillar aims to ensure that stunting prevention becomes a priority for the government at central, regional, and village levels. The commitment and vision of the President and Vice President regarding the acceleration of stunting prevention are maintained and followed up through policy and strategy coordination. This pillar includes increasing commitment and leadership vision in ministries/agencies, regional governments, and villages. The involvement of various parties such as businesses, universities, media, and community organizations is also emphasized.
Pillar 2: National Campaign and Behavioral Change Communication
The second pillar aims to increase public awareness and understanding and to encourage behavioral changes to prevent stunting. National campaigns and behavioral change communication are conducted through various media forms, interpersonal communication, continuous advocacy to decision-makers, and capacity building for program managers. This pillar is coordinated by the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Communication and Informatics.
Pillar 3: Convergence, Coordination, and Consolidation of Central, Regional, and Village Programs
The third pillar aims to strengthen convergence through the coordination and consolidation of programs and activities at the central, regional, and village levels. Convergence is carried out by aligning planning, budgeting, implementation, monitoring, and controlling cross-sectoral activities as well as between levels of government and the community. This pillar is coordinated by the Ministry of National Development Planning/Bappenas and the Ministry of Home Affairs.
Pillar 4: Nutrition and Food Security
The fourth pillar aims to improve access to nutritious food and promote food security. This pillar includes strengthening policies for fulfilling the nutritional and food needs of the community, including family food and nutrition fulfillment, providing food aid and supplementary food, and developing food products and safety. This pillar is coordinated by the Ministry of Agriculture and the Ministry of Health.
Pillar 5: Monitoring and Evaluation
The fifth pillar aims to enhance monitoring and evaluation as the basis for ensuring quality service delivery, increasing accountability, and accelerating learning. A results-based monitoring and evaluation system helps the government build a strong knowledge base, encourages changes in program implementation methods, and improves performance. This pillar is coordinated by Bappenas and Setwapres.
Regal Springs Indonesia’s Concrete Actions in Supporting Stunting Prevention
Regal Springs Indonesia is one of the companies supporting the government’s program to reduce stunting rates. By providing supplementary food packages to improve nutrition, Regal Springs Indonesia supported 1,631 beneficiaries in 2023 alone. Additionally, the company routinely provides nutritious food for children in many villages, significantly contributing to community nutrition improvement efforts.
Regal Springs Indonesia’s active role in supporting the government’s strategy not only helps reduce the prevalence of stunting but also promotes sustainability and community welfare. This initiative demonstrates the company’s commitment to supporting national programs and serves as an example for other private sectors to participate in stunting reduction efforts in Indonesia.
Let’s Support Stunting Prevention!
TP2AK, with its Five Pillars of Stunting Prevention, aims to ensure the convergence of programs and activities at all levels of government and society to reduce stunting prevalence. With support from various sectors, including the private sector like Regal Springs Indonesia, the stunting rate in Indonesia is expected to decrease significantly, bringing well-being to future generations.
