Gerakan Optimalisasi Gizi Melalui Edukasi Hukum dan Pengelolaan Keluarga Sebagai Tindakan Pengurangan Angka Stunting Kelurahan Rangga Mekar Kota Bogor

Abstract

Stunting remains a critical nutritional challenge in Indonesia, with Kota Bogor recording a prevalence above 16%. Rangga Mekar, one of its sub-districts, faces persistently high stunting rates, partly due to limited maternal knowledge about stunting and balanced nutrition. In 2020, 78 children in Rangga Mekar were identified as stunted. This study investigates the effectiveness of legal education and family management programs in reducing stunting cases. Through interviews with community health workers and mothers, findings reveal that enhancing parental awareness and optimizing nutrition significantly impact child growth. The "Gerakan Optimalisasi Gizi" initiative integrates educational and legal interventions to empower families in making informed nutritional choices. The study emphasizes the importance of community-based approaches in tackling stunting and recommends continuous education to sustain progress.
