President Joko \u201cJokowi\u201d Widodo expressed appreciation for the concern shown by the Indonesian Employers Association (APINDO) on stunting handling in the country.<\/p>\n
\u201cI appreciate, once again, APINDO in handling stunting,\u201d he said at the Inauguration of Members of the National Leaders\u2019 Board (DPN) of the Indonesian Employers Association (APINDO) in 2023-2028 Terms of Service at the Grand Ballroom of Kempinski Hotel in Central Jakarta, Monday (07\/31).<\/p>\n
The President also expressed hope that other associations of businesspeople, such as the Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (Kadin) and Indonesian Young Entrepreneur Association (HIPMI), also contribute to achieving the stunting reduction target of 14 percent in 2024.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur target in 2024 is 14 percent, but based on what I observed on the ground, it is not easy. However, I am sure that despite the difficulty and intricacy, we can achieve the target with the participation of entrepreneurs,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
The President pointed out that the national stunting rate has decreased from 37 percent in 2015 to 22 percent at the end of 2022 while expressing optimism that support programs of businesspeople, such as \u2018foster children program\u2019, will continue to reduce stunting prevalence in children.<\/p>\n
\u201cOn average, children who suffer stunting are from underprivileged families. Give them eggs, fish, chicken meat, red meat, vegetables. It is not a big deal, but it must be carried out regularly,\u201d he said, adding that if conducted consistently, it will make a huge impact on stunting reduction in Indonesia and bring benefits from the future demographic bonus.<\/p>\n
\u201cA big problem that burdens our demographic bonus in the future may be caused by stunting,\u201d he remarked.<\/p>\n
For the record, stunting alleviation is the flagship program initiated by the 2023-2028 DPN APINDO under Chair Shinta W Kamdani.<\/p>\n
\u201cAPINDO will allocate resources and support of the business sector for stunting reduction programs to anticipate threats to the demographic bonus that may obstruct the achievement of 2045 Golden Indonesia vision,\u201d she said as quoted from the official website of APINDO.\u00a0(FID\/UN) (DH\/MUR)<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" President Joko \u201cJokowi\u201d Widodo expressed appreciation for the concern shown by the Indonesian Employers Association (APINDO) on stunting handling in the country. \u201cI appreciate, once again, APINDO in handling stunting,\u201d he said at the Inauguration of Members of the National Leaders\u2019 Board (DPN) of the Indonesian Employers Association (APINDO) in 2023-2028 Terms of Service at […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":79,"featured_media":280063,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[77],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-280056","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
