New research to tackle stunting of Indonesia’s children

[/vc_column_text][/columna_vc][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_columna ancho=»2/3″][vc_column_text]WASHINGTON, CORRIENTE CONTINUA. — A new research project will explore whether micronutrients and better local health systems can help to eradicate Indonesia’s perplexing challenges with stunted growth of children, Se anuncia Creative Associates Internacional.

Cerca de 36 porcentaje de niños en edad 5 and younger are stunted in their growth, según el 2014 Global Nutrition Report, which can inhibit cognitive development and have long-lasting consequences for health, employment and wellbeing in adulthood.

“Given Indonesia’s persistent high rates of stunting despite approaching middle-income status, it is critical to understand the various challenges that are inhibiting quality nutrition to children under two years old," dice Rose Mary Garcia, Doctor en Filosofía., Director of Workforce Development and Youth Employment at Creative and director of the project.

The three-and-a-half year initiative—called the Assessments for the Community-based Health and Nutrition to Reduce Stunting Project—will carry out independent technical assessments as part of the Indonesia Millennium Challenge Account Indonesia Nutrition Project.

The assessments will examine health delivery structures at the sub-district level, the provision of micronutrients, whether micronutrients and supplements used in Indonesia are chemically the most appropriate, and if current production and distribution channels are the most efficient given the challenging geography.

“This project will provide the evidence needed for the successful implementation of the Indonesia Nutritional Project in eliminating Indonesia’s barriers to economic growth and poverty reduction,” says Garcia.

The recommendations made through these evaluations have the potential to reach clinics in 4,600 villages in 11 provincias, as well as Jakarta.

Abt Associates will lead the implementation of this project in partnership with Creative. The project is a Task Order under the Education, Community and Health Development Blanket Purchase Agreement.
