The 6th International UGM Public Health Symposium

About

Childhood stunting is a serious problem, which is an outcome of maternal undernutrition and inadequate infant and young child feeding. This problem correlates with impaired neurocognitive development and a risk marker for non-communicable diseases and reduced productivity in later life as stated by the World Health Organization. Stunting caused by malnutrition has become a high-profile health issue Indonesia because of its impact on all aspects of development, from human resources to economic growth.

In order to reduce the number of under-five stunted children, rallying point for commitments by national governments and international development partners are crucial. On the other hand, to build the evidence base, refine strategies, and provide technical assistance to countries to address stunting and other maternal and child malnutrition priorities, need all expertise who works related to this issue to collaborate. In the first 1000 days of the life cycle, nutritional, environmental, and psychosocial play important roles, which can carve deep and impacts on the growth and development of human capital.

The development institutions and many governments are concerned to reduce the cumulative problem of the global burden of stunting which the process may take place in defined family, household, and community situations (WHO Colloquium, 2013). The causes of stunting are entrenched in diverse sectors, calling for cross-sector and transdisciplinary approaches to address the problem adequately. Therefore, the involvement of the multiple stakeholders in stunting reduction recognize the need for horizontal and vertical coherence work.
