COMMUNITY EMPOWERMENT PLAN IN OVERCOMING MALNUTRITION

Abstract

Malnutrition status in children is an important thing that must be known by every parent and malnutrition can affect children's brain development. Malnutrition status includes chronic nutritional problems caused by many factors such as socioeconomic conditions, maternal nutrition during pregnancy, illness in infants, and lack of nutritional intake in infants. To overcome this, the active role of the community is needed through a community empowerment plan. This study aims to investigate community empowerment plans in tackling malnutrition. This research will use qualitative methods with descriptive analysis. This research will also examine documents related to community empowerment programs in tackling malnutrition. The results of this study are expected to provide recommendations for related parties in the development of community empowerment programs that are more effective in tackling malnutrition.
