Abstract:
Nutrition education for women, including adolescent girls, pregnant, and lactating women, plays an important role in tackling stunting. Mothers who have knowledge of proper nutrition can ensure adequate nutritional intake during pregnancy and breastfeeding, which is critical for the growth of a child. Lack of understanding of nutrition often leads to unbalanced feeding, which increases the risk of stunting. The main issues faced are low access to nutrition education, especially in rural areas, and the lack of sustainable mentoring programs. In addition, cultural norms and unhealthy eating habits are also a challenge in the implementation of a nutritious diet. Effective education efforts must focus on increasing women’s knowledge and understanding of nutrition to reduce stunting rates in the community. Community empowerment is carried out in the fields of education and health. The method used in this study is socialization and mentoring, with a percentage of theory as much as 30% and practice as much as 70%, with the stages of planning, implementation, monitoring and evaluation as well as follow-up. The results of the activities are in the form of downstream appropriate technology in the form of analog rice printing machines, and social engineering in the form of mentoring and training for adolescent counseling, adolescent integrated service posts, and the provision of nutritional lodges. The study concluded that health and nutrition accessibility is very important to be given to the community.
