Membangun Keluarga Cerdas Pangan dan Gizi melalui Pendekatan Literasi pada 1000 Hari Pertama Kehidupan di Kota Malang

Abstract

This community engagement program aims to improve food and nutrition literacy during the First 1000 Days of Life in Malang City, targeting pregnant women, mothers of under two years old children, and Posyandu cadres as key agents of nutrition behavior change. The program was implemented through five stages: situation and needs analysis, capacity-building training for cadres and nutrition education for mothers of young children, development of food and nutrition literacy modules, production of locally contextualized educational videos, and sustainability planning through cadre mentoring. The situation analysis, conducted among 200 households with young children, revealed limited understanding of food and nutrition practices during the 1000-day period. The training, held at Posyandu Kartini RW 1 in Sukoharjo Village and attended by 25 participants, demonstrated active engagement throughout all sessions. The program results showed improvements in cadres’ knowledge and skills in delivering nutrition messages, enhanced food and nutrition literacy among mothers, and increased utilization of educational media within the community. The program produced an ISBN-registered module and a series of nutrition education videos published on social media as ongoing learning resources. Overall, this program contributed to strengthening community capacity for stunting prevention and supporting the development of nutrition-smart families during the First 1000 Days of Life in Malang City.
