PT Frisian Flag Indonesia and Center for Nutrition and Health Studies FKM UI:
Gerakan Nusantara is a partnership between Frisian Flag Indonesia (FFI) and Center for Nutrition and Health Studies (PKGK), Faculty of Public Health at the University of Indonesia. This partnership started in 2013, based on common concern in nutrition, particularly in addressing stunting problems in Indonesia.
The activities comprised of three groups, namely: Full Treatment, Half Treatment and Control Group. Each group consists of 10 SD (elementary school) chosen randomly each year. These groups were set up to measure the impact of the program. The activities for Full Treatment group includes physical activities, education on nutrition, distribution of milk, teachers’ training, and training for students. Half Treatment group carried out the same activities but without the training for students. Finally, the Control group only receives the activation activities in the form of physical activity and nutrition education.
During the implementation, FFI and PKGK shared roles in accordance with the competency of each organization. PKGK as an academic organization, is instrumental in the development of knowledge-attitude-practice (KAP) survey design that is good for post-program, as well as the determination of the baseline sample, data collection and analysis of the survey results. While the FFI helped facilitate a survey in five program areas including coordination with local governments. The two organizations also coordinate and cooperate in the implementation of the activities throughout the elementary schools involved.
Results achieved by the program during the year 2013 to 2015 was more than 600,000 students from 1,250 elementary schools learned about nutrition. Up to 300 teachers in 60 elementary schools in Medan, Jakarta, Bandung, Surabaya and Makassar have attended the training.
