Tangerang (lokasi mitra), ditemukan sejumlah permasalahan terkait stunting meliputi, minimnya pengetahuan kader maupun ibu balita terkait pencegahan stunting, kurangnya kesadaran & kehadiran ibu balita ke posyandu, sarana posyandu & akses informasi terkait stunting terbatas, minimnya pengelolaan data balita atau tidak tersedia alat bantu pencatatan dan pelaporan untuk penyimpanan data pihak internal khususnya di RW.007, Desa Lebak Wangi, Kec. Sepatan Timur. Kegiatan ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan kapasitas pengetahuan dan keterampilan kader mengenai pencegahan stunting melalui “Gerakan RW Peduli Stunting”. Adapun metode kegiatan ini diawali dengan sosialisasi penyamaan persepsi bersama ketua RW dan perwakilan kader RW 007, kemudian pembentukan tim RW “stunting corner”, pelatihan berupa edukasi literasi gizi serta pelatihan kader dalam deteksi dini stunting mencakup pengukuran antropometri, pencatatan dan pemantauan balita menggunakan form elektronik berupa kobotoolbox, kemudian dilanjutkan dengan pendampingan dan evaluasi kegiatan. Adapun tim kader yang dilatih sebanyak 28 orang selaku tim RW Peduli Stunting di Desa Lebak Wangi.

Abstract

Lebak Wangi Village is one of the designated loci for accelerating stunting reduction. Based on preliminary interviews and field observations in RW.007, Lebak Wangi Village, Sepatan Timur District, Tangerang Regency (partner location), several issues related to stunting were identified, including limited knowledge among cadres and mothers of toddlers regarding stunting prevention, low awareness and attendance of mothers at the posyandu (integrated health post), limited posyandu facilities and access to information related to stunting, as well as inadequate management of toddler data or the absence of recording and reporting tools for internal data storage, particularly in RW.007, Lebak Wangi Village, Sepatan Timur District. This activity aims to improve the knowledge and skills of community health cadres in stunting prevention through the “RW Cares about Stunting Movement” (Gerakan RW Peduli Stunting). The methods include an initial socialization and perception alignment session with the RW leader and RW 007 cadre representatives, followed by the formation of the RW “Stunting Corner” team, and training sessions on nutrition literacy education and early stunting detection. The training covers anthropometric measurement, toddler recording and monitoring using an electronic form via KoboToolbox, and is followed by mentoring and activity evaluation. A total of 28 cadres were trained as members of the RW Cares about Stunting team in Lebak Wangi Village. The results of the cadre training showed an increase in the average knowledge and skills of cadres from 66.84% before training to 94.71% after training. The establishment of the Stunting Corner at the community hall, along with the use of a digital monitoring form, has created an easily accessible information center for residents and supported cadres in delivering health messages more effectively.
