The National Population and Family Planning Agency or BKKBN of Papua Province is optimistic that it can reduce stunting rates by 16 percent by 2024 in Cenderawasih Earth.
 
Head of the Papua Province BKKBN Representative, Nerius Auparay in Jayapura, Wednesday, said that with the remaining two years, it is hoped that cooperation from all parties can reduce the percentage of stunting which is now 29.5 percent.
 
"The point is that there must be commitment and seriousness to prevent stunting in the Papuan generation," he said.
 
According to Nerius, his party has now also formed a Family Assistance Team (TPK) to accelerate the reduction of stunting so that they can monitor the condition of children starting from 1,000 days of life.
 
"Our TPK now number 17,304 people scattered in every village consisting of PKK cadres and health or family planning workers," he said.
 
He explained, apart from that, his party has formed task forces (Satgas) in 29 regencies/cities, which assist the government in efforts to accelerate stunting reduction through valid data collection.
 
"So each district/city will be assigned 8 people to coordinate with local governments as representatives of the Papua BKKBN," he said again.
 
He added, with the formation of a stunting management team that is deployed in every village in Papua, they will be solid in working well together, so that the target for reducing the stunting rate can be realized.
