National Food and Nutrition Action Plan

The  status  of  community  nutrition  is  showing  an  improvement  trend, which can be seen  from  the decrease of  the prevalence of under nutrition or  low  weight  among  under-five.  Cases  of  under-five malnutrition, measured by the prevalence of under nutrition and severe under nutrition, are  used  as indicator of  hunger.  This  is  because  the  indicator  is  closely related  to  food vulnerability within community. Another hunger  indicator is  the  average  consumption  level  of  energy  among  population  below  70 percent  of  the  recommended  dietary  allowances.  This  condition  will seriously affect  to  the achievement of other MDGs such as child mortality rate, and access to education.
