Caring for Children's Nutrition #CegahStunting
Since 20 November 2023, Bank has partnered with the United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund (UNICEF) in support of the Government’s Early Detection and Management of Children with Malnutrition Programme to prevent stunting in East Nusa Tenggara (NTT) Province. The programme delivers a significant impact in strengthening prevention, early detection and management for children at risk of wasting in Kupang City through strengthening the role of Early Childhood Education (PAUD) and community engagement. In 2025, activities were carried out with four main focus areas.
- Strengthening early detection and timely referral
- A total of 452 PAUD teachers from 100 PAUD received capacity building on child wasting, including the use of the MuAC (Mid-Upper Arm Circumference) tape, nutritional oedema checks and referral mechanisms.
- 100% of the 1,119 children registered at participating PAUD underwent routine wasting screening.
- Routine screening practices have now been integrated sustainably across all participating PAUD.
- Enhancing family and community capacity
- A total of 1,755 parents and caregivers participated in parenting classes and were equipped with skills for early wasting detection.
- Early detection practices were expanded and replicated, reaching an estimated more than 370,000 children across NTT Province.
- Strengthening community-based systems
- A total of 150 Posyandu cadres were trained to strengthen screening, referrals and nutrition education at the community level.
- The programme introduced two innovations, namely Posyandu Kader Peduli Wasting and Kampus Peduli Wasting, expanding early detection reach through the engagement of community volunteers and university students.
- Promoting preventive nutrition behaviour (“From Farm to Fork”)
- 100 PAUD established school gardens as a platform for nutrition education and sustainable food
- 89 PAUD held cooking demonstrations using produce from school gardens and local foods to encourage balanced nutrition practices in households
In addition to programme implementation, in 2025 Bank continued to facilitate fundraising #CegahStunting through several internal and external activities. Internal activities included, for example, the HR Info channel, Galeri News and WhatsApp blasts, while external activities included Media Gathering, Ngobiz, Travel Fair, Wealth & XTRA XPO, Kejar Mimpi Festival and The Cooler Earth Exhibition. To expand the reach of donations to the public, Bank also provided a donation channel on the OCTO application. A total of 14 activations were carried out, raising Rp235.54 million in donations from 1,002 donors. Bank also linked Peduli Gizi Anak #CegahStunting with other CSR activities by providing attractive souvenirs for Peduli Gizi Anak #CegahStunting donors, sourced from products supported under the Community Link #JadiNyata and #JadiBerkelanjutan Programme. This aimed not only to recognise donors’ contributions but also to introduce products supported by Bank
