JAKARTA To reduce the number of stunting or tengkes, the East Jakarta City Government will conduct an audit. This is done to find the main cause of the increasing number of stunting cases.

"Stunting audits are a big step in efforts to reduce the number of stunting cases. From this activity, we can find the main cause of stunting cases as a prevention effort," said East Jakarta Administrative Mayor Muhammad Anwar, Antara, Thursday, July 27.

According to him, stunting is not just a short body posture, but more than that. Stunting is a chronic nutritional problem caused by a lack of nutritional intake in a fairly long range.

"Dengan audit stunting diharapkan akan menjadi pembelajaran untuk penguatan dan konvergensi yang komprehensif terprogramkan serta memastikan intervensi dalam menyelesaikan stunting," kata Anwar.

He hopes that this stunting audit can increase the strengthening of precise early detection of interventions specifically and sensitively collaboratively and maximally.

"So that stunting incidents can be prevented based on Presidential Regulation Number 72 of 2021 concerning the Acceleration of Stunting Reduction," he said.

The regulation mandates that all local governments make every effort and carry out appropriate policy formulations and strategies to overcome stunting problems.

"According to the joint commitment that the City of East Jakarta through all sectors that have been well programmed with partners is very committed to efforts to prevent stunting," he said.

The East Jakarta City Government (Pemkot) continues to boost the handling of stunting through the "One Children Stunting, One ASN" program which becomes foster parents and provides two eggs per day for stunting children.
