Abstract

As one of the national priority programs included in the National Action Plan to Reduce Stunting Rates, stunting still needs to be solved. Various policies and programs implemented by the government will only run optimally and effectively in reducing the prevalence of stunting if partnerships with universities accompany them in creating interventions. This intervention is needed to change the community's mindset regarding providing adequate and balanced nutrition at 1000 days of life to prevent stunting.
