Stunting is a nutritional problem characterized by chronic nutritional deficiencies. In 2022, 18.5% of toddlers in North Jakarta, 15.20% in West Jakarta, 14% in South Jakarta, and 11.9% in East Jakarta experienced stunting in DKI Jakarta. This activity was carried out in the Duren Sawit Community Health Center (Puskesmas) working area. This activity includes Nutrition Posts (Measurement of Nutritional Status and Providing Supplementary Food/PMT for stunted toddlers) which were funded by self-help funds and community donations under the BATMAN DUWIT program (Together with Foster Parents Intervening in Stunting Children in Duren Sawit). Respondents in this study were 33 stunted children at three Posyandu points within the Duren Sawit District Community Health Center working area: Duren Sawit, Majasari, and Pondok Kelapa Villages. The results of the statistical test using the Paired Sample T-Test showed a p-value of 0.0001, this indicates a significant difference between the intake of energy and macronutrients (protein, fat and carbohydrates), Body Weight (BB) and Height (TB) of stunted toddlers before and after the Nutrition Post intervention (p-value <0.05).
