JAKARTA - Handling stunting is a focus of attention in 2026 by the Central Jakarta City Government. This was conveyed by the Mayor of Central Jakarta, Arifin.
Arifin said that various efforts to handle stunting had been carried out throughout 2025. As a result, the stunting rate was successfully suppressed to 3.1 percent and there was a decrease.
"Alhamdulillah this year there has been a decrease from 3.3 percent to 3.1 percent," said Arifin, Tuesday, December 30.
Even though it recorded a decline, Arifin admitted that this achievement was not entirely optimal.
His party is still a big homework for 2026.
"There are some things that we haven't been able to realize to the fullest. This is a 2026 PR for us to continue to do this in a sustainable manner, including this stunting," he said.
Arifin said poor sanitation and slum environments could be one of the main triggering factors for stunting in densely populated areas such as Central Jakarta.
"We continue to focus, if according to data 2026, of course, we must be able to press again the cases of stunting figures in Central Jakarta," he said.
