EXECUTIVE SUMMARY2020 will be the first year of the implementation of the 2020-2024 National Medium-Term Development Plan (RPJMN). The Indonesian government directs development priorities on human resources to strengthen the foundation of competitiveness towards the developed country phase which is expected to occur in 2036-2044. The government translates this political vision, one of which, through improving the quality of public health.

The government has strengthened the integration of the stunting program to realize an optimistic scenario of reducing prevalence by 2-2.5% per year. The implementation of integrated stunting reduction interventions needs to be supported by accurate, current, integrated and accountable height measurements. A reliable stunting information system is an important prerequisite so that measurement data is easily accessed and shared as a basis for case management and evidence-based policy making).

This technical study provides a framework for thinking, synthesis of findings, and recommendations for follow-up on the implementation of activities for measuring toddlers’ height and integrated stunting data management in Indonesia. This technical study was compiled based on a literature review, policy analysis, field visits, interviews, and limited consultations with various expert speakers. The research team believes that this technical study represents a variety of perspectives and brings together debates regarding the implementation of height measurement for toddlers and integrated stunting data management.

This technical study departs from a systemic scanning process regarding events and trends surrounding the measurement of height / length of toddlers in Indonesia. Specifically, scanning of events and trends involves stakeholders to answer three questions. First, the extent to which regulatory, governance, and budget support has established enabling conditions for good practices in height measurement and integrated stunting data management. Second, whether height measurements in Indonesia have been carried out

with high technical soundness and the extent to which integration between measurement platforms has taken place? Third, to what extent has the measurement data been used as a basis for clinical decision making and policy improvement?

This technical study then brings together and processes the results of the scan through limited consultation with experts (Delphi Method). The consultation phase has three main objectives, namely: (1) gathering opinions and findings in the field based on the accumulation of expert knowledge and experience; (2) determining the structural challenges (drivers) that underlie these findings; (3) designing a number of possible scenario (scenario building) structuring and the necessary stages (roadmap). Thus, this technical study takes into account all aspects of ‘what’ and “why “ according to various points of view, and brings together debates on “how” does the implementation of toddlers’ height measurement and integrated stunting data management.

This technical study found 3 main challenges that significantly marked the dynamics of height / length measurement for toddlers in Indonesia and required the attention and response of the Government in 2019-2024. These structural challenges include:

Regulatory frameworks that support efforts to reduce stunting are available at various levels, but translating and implementing them at subnational levels remains a challenge.

-

-

-

-

Challenges related to the regulatory, governance and financing framework

Overlapping governance both at the level of coordinating agencies and implementing agencies

A regulatory framework for meaningfully involving non-governmental actors is not yet available

The unavailability of accountability mechanisms and the effectiveness of financing efforts to

CISDI

Page 15: IMPLEMENTATION OF TODDLERS’ HEIGHT ......Implementation of Toddlers’ Height Measurement Activities and Integrated Stunting Data Management in Indonesia Published in Indonesia 2019

12

Challenges related to the implementation of height measurements in the field

Inconsistencies in regulations and standards regarding the target age group, and frequency of height measurements

The business process of monitoring growth has not focused on aspects of data interpretation, counseling, and referral to subsequent services after measurement. The behavioral change communication component has not been included in the growth monitoring service package

Debate about the duties and functions of cadres in measuring height, especially regarding whether Posyandu cadres are allowed to carry out toddlers’ height measurements at posyandu

Health workers who take measurements are not available in all places with an adequate numbers

Growth monitoring service platforms are fragmented and not interconnected with referral services

-

-

-

-

-

Challenges related to data management, including processing, analyzing, and accessing data

Data on height to detect the nutritional status according to TB / U and BB / TB is not caught in the health information systems in many District / City because of the limited availability of measuring instruments and measuring competence

Data obtained often does not meet quality data qualifications. This will cause a weak basis for the preparation of regulations and subsequent programs

Data fragmentation because each information system has a database that stands alone

-

-

-

From these structural challenges through a limited consultation process with experts (Delphi), the following priorities for improvement are formulated:

Priority improvements related to the regulatory, governance and financing framework

Designing a regulatory framework based on needs assessments and gaps in the field that involve various stakeholder elements

The establishment of a governance structure that is quite simple, effective and agreed upon by all parties is complemented by a clear division of roles and functions of coordination

Encouraging the immediate enactment of the regulatory framework that forms the umbrella of stunting stranas, one of which includes a meaningful involvement of multi-sector stakeholders and their roles and functions clearly

Increasing the efficiency and effectiveness of stunting program funding through the budget tagging and tracking mechanism to the village level

Encourage local government performance evaluation mechanisms

-

-

-

-

-

Priority for improving the implementation of measurements in the field

Harmonization of standards, governance and operational definitions

In conditions that are not ideal where there are no trained health workers available, it is important to increase the capacity of posyandu cadres regarding height measurement and counseling ability and interpretation of data.

-

-

reduce stunting to the regional level. Accessing data and information from cross-units in the Ministry of Health and across sectors is still difficult because of the unavailability of standards and protocols

-

Incorporate components and conduct behavioral change communication training in growth service packages

Internet-based remote health workforce training (e-learning) about growth monitoring and communication of behavioral changes to puskesmas

Designing a regulatory framework stating that trained cadres are allowed to measure height in conditions where health workers are not available

Increase the availability of nutrition workers in each Puskesmas

Procurement of measurement and reporting logistics according to the standards required at Posyandu Integration of various toddlers’ height measurement services from posyandu to district / city level

Increased coverage and quality of PIS PK to ensure and educate every family with a toddler to go to the posyandu.

The Ministry of Health includes the height measurement component in the growth monitoring service standards at posyandu and health facilities

-

-

-

-

-

-

-

In conditions where health workers are not available, the puskesmas must validate the measurement results by the cadre and ensure that the referral system from the posyandu to the nearest health service runs according to the procedure, i.e.:

Cadres only monitor toddlers’ body weight every month and refer toddlers to health workers at the puskesmas if they are indicated to have nutritional problems or fixed weight, or the weight does not increase after two consecutive measurements.

-

Challenges related to the implementation of height measurements in the field

Increasing the capacity of posyandu cadres and puskesmas nutrition officers to record and report, as well as to utilize data

Simplification of posyandu information systems and integration of KPM score cards (eHDW) to Posyandu information systems as well as ePPGBM

Increasing coverage on the use of e-PPGBM accompanied by an increase in the capacity of officers related to surveillance - the process of gathering - analyzing - action based on analysis, also taking into account regional limitations in infrastructure and human resources. The implementation of SSGBI by BPS and Litbangkes is carried out routinely once a year to find out the current prevalence of stunting toddler

Integration of prevalence data and programs related to stunting prevention in the Mhealth platform developed by the Pusdatin Ministry of Health

Add a National Health Information System Roadmap related to the inclusion of clear roles among stakeholders and the development of national and regional SIK integration plans

Stunting is a condition of failure to thrive in children under five years old (toddlers) due to chronic malnutrition and psychosocial stimulation, as well as repeated exposure to infections especially in the period of the First 1,000 Days of Life (1,000 HPK), namely from the fetus to the two-year-old child [1]. The child is classified as stunting if the length or height is below minus two of the standard deviation (-2SD) the length or height of the child of his age [2]. One thousand (1,000) HPK is the golden period for children’s growth. In this period, the baby’s brain and body are developing rapidly. Proper nutrition interventions in this period will result in higher quality Indonesian human resources that will become investments in cost-effective development [3].

Stunting is still one of the biggest nutritional problems of toddlers in the world although in the last two decades it has decreased from 32.6% in 2000 to 22.2% in 2017 [4]. The 2018 Global Nutrition Report notes that the prevalence of stunting in Indonesia is far worse than countries with similar economic levels in Southeast Asia: Thailand (16%), Malaysia (17.5%), and Vietnam (23%) [5]. Although the Basic Health Research (Riskesdas) 2018 shows a decrease in the prevalence of stunting for children under five from 37.2% (2013) to 30.8% (2018), the proportion of children under two years old (baduta) short and very short is still at 29, 9% or higher than the 2015-2019 Medium Term Development Plan (RPJMN) target of 28% [6] [7] [8]. The prevalence of stunting in Indonesia occurs in all regions and also across income groups. Some health indicators in 2018 also indicate the need for immediate improvement, such as anemia in pregnant women (48.9%) and babies born with low birth weight (6.2%).

The technocratic design of the RPJMN 2020-2024 places the target of reducing stunting in toddlers to 19% by 2024 as one indicator of basic service fulfillment [9]. Financial Note for Fiscal Year 2020 places stunting as a strategic issue that receives priority budget allocation through the convergence of physical Special Allocation Funds (DAK), non-physical DAK, K / L expenditure, village funds, and grants to 260 priority areas [10].

This political commitment is expected to drive the acceleration of stunting prevalence in toddles to 27.1% according to the Government Work Plan (RKP) of 2020 [10] to get closer to the 2025 Global Nutrition target in reducing stunting in toddlers by 40% [11].

The government’s effort to reduce the prevalence of stunting confirms the link between the stunting reduction program and Indonesia’s efforts to become a medium-high income country. Various studies have shown that stunting that occurs at 1,000 HPK risks hindering physical growth, increasing children’s vulnerability to disease, creating barriers to cognitive development that reduce children’s intelligence and productivity in the future. Stunting will also increase the risk of degenerative diseases in adulthood. Economic losses due to stunting are estimated to reach 2-3% of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) per year, equivalent to 300 trillion rupiah [12].

Stunting prevention interventions are prioritized targeting children under two years of age because in that period they are considered to be more sensitive to the impact of an intervention than children over two years old. [13] [14]. The main problems that cause high stunting rates in Indonesia are a combination of policies that have not been integrated in providing support for stunting prevention, logistical limitations and competency of measuring staff, availability of quality data, as well as communication problems and behavioral changes that occur both at the individual level, community level and health service level.

Chapter 1

National Strategy for the Acceleration of Prevention of Stunting 2019-2024 (Stranas Stunting) establishes specific and sensitive nutrition interventions that will be delivered to priority groups in priority locations. Stranas stunting is useful as a sign of government in handling stunting because: (1) Arranged based on evidence, good practice, and experience of Indonesia and globally; (2) Aiming to ensure that all resources are directed and allocated to support and finance priority activities to improve the coverage and quality of 1,000 HPK household nutrition services; (3) Arranged so that all parties at all levels can work together to accelerate the prevention of stunting, and (4) Arranged so that it involves and describes the roles of ministries / institutions, academics, professional organizations, civil society, business world, and development partners / donors

Why is this issue important?

Measuring body length or height included in the Stimulation, Detection and Early Intervention Program for Child Growth and Development (SDIDTK) is the foundation of Stranas Stunting. Therefore, the Guidelines for the Implementation of Integrated Stunting Reduction Interventions in Districts / Cities [15] place the measurement and publication of stunting figures as one of the eight Integration Actions..

Integrated planning, implementation, evaluation, and control of Stranas Stunting, need to be supported by data that are accurate, current, integrated, accountable, easily accessed, and shared, and managed carefully, integrated, and sustainably. Measurement of toddlers’ height and an in-sequence stunting data publication routinely will sharpen the implementation of Integration Action through improvement of: (1) Quality of analysis of data-based situations and factual information; (2) Accuracy in determining service targets, efficiency in allocating resources, being the basis for determining policy (evidence-informed policy) and advocating for program integration support in the stunting conference; (3) Reliability of the data management system to support performance studies; and (4) Accurate diagnosis so that health workers can find out the nutritional status of children under five as a basis for integrated follow-up efforts and family-based counseling.

However, the availability of technical studies on toddlers’ height measurement and integrated stunting data management is very limited in Indonesia. The Nutrition Capacity Assessment Report in Indonesia and the Background Paper for the Health Sector Study provide a big picture of the provision of nutrition services in Indonesia, but need to be enriched with technical studies with sufficient depth of analysis to improve policy operationalization [16] [17].

Targets of Study

Center for Indonesia’s Strategic Development Initiatives (CISDI) conducted this technical study to support the government’s efforts to improve the implementation of height measurements and their relation to the reliability of integrated stunting data. Broadly speaking, we divided the technical study discourse into three broad clusters: (1) Politics - the process by which policies are formulated and determined; (2) Polity - the institutional framework for how policies are formulated and implemented, and (3) Policy - concerns the content and substance, as well as the desired mechanism of change.

Specifically, this technical study will: (1) Explore the roles of stakeholders and their governance; (2) Checking program / activity gaps related to height measurement, publication, and utilization of integrated stunting data; and (3) Propose recommendations for improvement based on the accumulation of Indonesian knowledge and experience to obtain collaborative work commitments among ministries / institutions, academics, professional organizations, civil society, business world, and development partners / donors.

Research questions and design

This technical study aims to answer the following group of questions:

1. Are the available regulatory, governance and financing frameworks adequate to encourage the implementation of good measurement?

2. “Has the height measurement activity and integrated stunting data management been adequately designed?”

3. “Are there components of the program or activity for height measurement and management of integrated stunting data that are missing?”

4. “Does the program person responsible for the program possess the capacity for planning, implementing and monitoring?”

5. “Is there an integrated system to monitor the results or intermediate results of the success of height measurement activities and integrated stunting data management?”

To answer these questions, we used a combination of several research methods and instruments. In the first phase of research, we analyze secondary data and explore data sources from national surveys, special studies, and various other scientific literature. Next, we went a step further by conducting a series of semi-structured interviews involving 22 key informants with diverse backgrounds at national and subnational levels (see appendix 4) to obtain detailed, nuanced, and in-depth findings. This data collection process took place in the July-September 2019 period.

On October 14, 2019, CISDI brought a preliminary version of this technical study into a focus group discussion (FGD) involving 28 experts (see Appendix 5). CISDI applies the Delphi approach in the FGD. The Delphi approach was chosen to, systematically, facilitate and capture different perspectives from stakeholders who come from different backgrounds and expertise.

In the period of December 3-16, CISDI conducted an individual consultation with 15 experts (see appendix 6) in order to report the results of the synthesis of FGD findings and ask for input related to policy studies. Next, CISDI synthesizes inputs and finalizes policy studies.

The focus of the study that CISDI set might limit the breadth and depth of the analysis.

Limited access to expert sources during the analysis period might limit the diversity of opinions on findings, analysis and recommendations. Data retrieval, which is mostly carried out in Jabodetabek area, might affect the diversity of contexts, thus it is not representative of the entire territory of Indonesia.

Stunting is a condition of failure to thrive in children The regulatory, governance and financing framework provides direction and space for relevant stakeholders to form enabling conditions so that a program / activity can run. Enabling conditions is an ecosystem that needs to be organized, managed, given resources, and regulated in institutional arrangements. This ecosystem must be able to encourage cross-sector stakeholders to collaborate, exchange knowledge, and promote evidence-based policies.

Specifically, this chapter will map the power relations between stakeholders, examine their role in mobilizing allocative and authoritative resources, and how these actions shape practices in policy implementation. In this study, good governance is a prerequisite for the key to the success and sustainability of the implementation of toddlers’ height measurement activities and integrated stunting data management in Indonesia, such as: a) Continued commitment and support from the highest leadership; (b) Integration of evidence-based specific and sensitive nutrition interventions; (c) Nutrition education and communication to change behavior; (d) Social monitoring and community-based programs / activities; and (e) Integrated data system.

Regulatory Framework

Global Agenda

In 2011, the Scaling-Up Nutrition (SUN) movement called for a nutritional improvement approach in every country to be proven cost effective, promoting cross-sectoral cooperation both government and non-governmental, and focusing on 1,000 HPK interventions. Furthermore, in 2012, WHO through the World Health Assembly (WHA) Resolution approved the Comprehensive Implementation Plan on Maternal, Infant, and Young Children Nutrition [18]. The Resolution of WHA 65.6 encourages member countries and international partners to carry out five actions in the local context (see Figure 2).

Figure 2. Action Plan for the Resolution of WHA 65.6

Through these five actions, WHA is committed to achieving the target of reducing nutritional indicators by 2025, namely: 1) a 40% reduction in the prevalence of short and very short toddlers; 2) a 50% reduction in anemia in fertile women; 3) a 30% reduction in babies born with LBW; 4) increase in exclusive breastfeeding to at least 50%; and 6) reduce and maintain wasting in toddlers less than 5%.

The relevance of this resolution is maintained in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The world is committed to eliminating all forms of malnutrition by 2030. SDGs as a comprehensive global policy, encouraging development policies at the national level by uniting the state of mind and logic of thinking about development planning and implementation needed to achieve the expected targets. This implementation requires a policy framework and architecture for development at the national level to ensure SDGs are implemented in ministries, institutions and local governments.

Action #1Creating a supportive environment for the

implementation of comprehensive food and nutrition policies

Chapter 2

Nationalizing the Global Agenda

To coordinate food and nutrition, Law No. 18/2012 on Food mandates the government to prepare a food and nutrition action plan. Five years later, the preparation, implementation, monitoring and evaluation, as well as the reporting procedures for the National Action Plan for Food and Nutrition (RAN-PG) are regulated in Presidential Regulation No. 83 of 2017 concerning the Strategic Policy for Food and Nutrition.

Referring to the Strategic Food and Nutrition Policy (KSPG), at the central level a National Action Plan for Food and Nutrition (RAN-PG) is developed in line with the 2015-2019 National Medium-Term Development Plan (RPJMN). To facilitate the organization of the sectors that contribute to the Food and Nutrition Action Plan, grouping is needed in the form of pillars: 1) improving people’s nutrition; 2) increasing accessibility of diverse foods; 3) food quality and safety; 4) clean and healthy life behavior; 5) coordination of food and nutrition development.

The government also issued Presidential Regulation No. 42 of 2013 concerning the National Movement for the Acceleration of Nutrition Improvement (Gernas PPG) to accelerate the improvement of nutrition for the priority communities in the first 1,000 days [19]. By using the issue of stunting as an entry point, Perpres Gernas PPG provides a sharpening of the nutritional program policy targets, which focus on pregnant women, breastfeeding mothers, and children aged 0-2 years, excluding young women from the priority of efforts to improve nutrition mandated by Law No. 36 of 2009 concerning health. Perpres Gernas PPG links nutrition improvement efforts to be accompanied by broader, but highly related development programs such as poverty alleviation, food security, water supply and sanitation.

Furthermore, Bappenas issued a Policy Framework and Planning Guidelines in the same year to guide the implementation of Gernas PPG. In 2017, these two documents were updated in the form of a Roadmap for the Implementation of the 2017-2019 Gernas PPG

which later became the reference for the Secretariat of Gernas PPG in order to support the Technical Team in the implementation of.

Figure 3. Main Strategy for Gernas PPG

In 2018, Bappenas launched Stranas Stunting to ensure the prevention of stunting is a priority of governments and communities at all levels until 2024. Stranas Stunting consists of five pillars, each of which has objectives, achievement strategies, and implementation instruments to target priority groups in priority locations (see figure 6). With increased efforts in implementing the coordination scheme and various technical implications and funding from Stranas Stunting, a moderate scenario projected that the stunting rate of baduta could fall by 1.5-2% per year and could achieve the WHA and SDGs target.

One of the things that deserves attention is the fact that there are no regulations that raise the strategy of the sustainability of efforts and progress in reducing stunting in Indonesia. It is has become a debate whether when the focus of the government has switched, financing and cross-sectoral efforts that have been established will also end. For this reason, the strategy of maintaining the sustainability of the results that have been pursued must become one of the government’s priorities in the next few years.

Pillar #1Making improvements

in nutrition as the main stream of human resource development, social, and

culture economy

Pillar #2Increasing capacity and competence of human

resources in all sectors, both government and

private

Pillar #3Increasing evidence-

based interventions that are effective on different existing order in society

Pillar #4Increased community

participation for the ap-plication of social norms that support nutritional

awareness behavior

Appendix 1 summarizes all available policy frameworks at various levels along with the technical implications and visions of synergy between various stakeholders at all levels of government

The availability of regulations at the national level is considered sufficient, but translating it to the subnational and village level in terms of regulation and implementation is still a challenge. At present, only about 20% of regions have a Perbup / Perwali explaining the use of village funds for stunting. One instrument that can be used to ensure national standards and targets is through the implementation of Minimum Service Standards (SPM). The implementation of SPM itself has been encouraged and supported by Law 23/2014 regarding Regional Government, PP 2/2018 regarding Minimum Service Standards, Permendagri 100/2018 regarding SPM implementation, and Permenkes 4/2019 on Technical Standards for the Fulfillment of Basic Service Quality in SPM in the health sector.

SPM includes service standards and targets that must be met in terms of quality and quantity to be considered to have already reached the minimum service levels. District / City Governments must

meet 12 SPM in the health sector, which includes one of them, namely toddler health services. It was stated that “District / City Governments must provide health services for toddlers in their working areas according to standards within one year”. These provisions include weighing at least 8 times a year, and measurement of length / height at least 2 times a year.

SPM is considered as the standard minimum basic requirement for citizens. Thus, all communities are targeted to have to obtain minimum health services (100%), or are considered “not meeting SPM achievements”. Even in budgeting, SPM must be prioritized before meeting other budgets. Unfortunately, there are no sanctions / disincentives in the implementation if the SPM is not met.

Finding 1

Political commitment for the efforts to improve community nutrition is strong enough in the form of Laws, Government Regulations (PP), Presidential Regulations (Perpres), Ministerial Regulations (Permen), and Regional Regulations (Perda), but the implementation gap at regional levels is still a challenge. In addition, the sustainability strategy of efforts to reduce stunting must begin to be

prioritized in its planning and implementation

Chapter 2

Governance Framework

The institutional architecture at the national level was formed to orchestrate the implementation and recapitulation of community nutrition improvement achievements at the national level. At the legislative level, there is the DPR RI Health Caucus which consists of members of the DPR RI across factions and between commissions to support community nutrition programs in the context of legislation, budgeting, and supervision.

At the executive level, the government established the Gernas PPG Task Force (see Figure 3) led by Menko Kesra (now Menko PMK) to monitor the implementation of Perpres across K / L. Bappenas, in particular the Deputy for Human Resources as the Chairperson of the Technical Team, has the authority to orchestrate planning and budget allocation.

In building and enhancing partnerships with non-governmental organizations, Gernas PPG, among others, is guided by: (1) UN Standing Committee on Nutrition; (2) WHO guidelines in cooperation with private parties; (3) Global Strategy for Toddlers and Child Feeding; (3) UNICEF Guidelines and manuals in working with the business community; (4) Guidelines from the International Pediatric Association (IPA) in working with industry.

The main activities of K / L and partners are divided into short-term (18 months) and mid-term (36 months) activities aimed at supporting the collection of key Gernas PPG performance indicators. Monitoring of input indicators and processes is carried out every semester, while monitoring of outputs is carried out annually to three years [20].

The available governance framework based on Perpres No. 42 of 2013 is considered not effective in guiding policies and encouraging cross-sectoral coordination and implementation [20]. In addition, decentralization presents challenges for planning systems between government levels and fiscal transfers. In fact, national programs are very dependent on the facilitation process at the District / City level and service delivery at the village level.

Therefore, the World Bank established the Secretariat of the Vice President (Setwapres) as the highest leadership authority to manage the PforR program to accelerate the reduction in stunting prevalence ‘Investing in Nutrition and Early Years’ 2018-2022 (see Figure 5). In addition to becoming the executing agency, Setwapres also plays a role in several key functions: (1) held a summit stunting; (2) synchronizing planning and budgeting with Bappenas and the Ministry of Finance; (3) reviewing the progress of implementing PforR together with the Ministry of Home Affairs; (4) coordinate with BPKP as an independent verification agent [21].

In carrying out its functions, the Secretariat is supported by TNP2K which makes the stunting reduction program one of the acceleration policies [20]. Specifically, the TNP2K Secretariat in this structure serves to provide technical support to the Setwapres, Menko PMK, Bappenas, and the Ministry of Finance to encourage the implementation of the annual cycle, accountability and learning which includes five main functions, namely (1) annual targets and commitments, (2 ) allocation of costs and fiscal transfers based on the results of interventions, (3) coordination of national and subnational implementation, (4) monitoring interventions and data consolidation, and (5) performance reviews and adjustments.

On the other hand, Stranas Stunting also developed a coordination structure as shown in Figure 6. This structure consists of a Steering Committee chaired by the Vice President and supported by the TNP2K Secretariat / Setwapres, the Steering Committee, and a Technical Team supported by the Secretariat of the SUN Bappenas.

The three coordinating and governance structures (Figures 4, 5, and 6) are then compared, especially some important components in the structure to see changes between one structure to another as shown in Table 1. In the aspect of leadership hierarchy, structure 1 is chaired by Coordinating Minister for People’s Welfare, structure 2 by Vice President and Menko PMK, and structure 3 by Vice President. Structure 3 also shows that more K / L are involved than structures 1 and 2.

The involvement of many K / Ls certainly becomes a challenge for coordination and division of roles. From the document review, Table 1 shows that structure 1 does not describe in detail the division of tasks between structures or K / L, while structure 2 in the PforR document clearly states the expected role for each K / L and incentives related to performance indicators ( disbursement linked indicators). For structure 3, the OPD Official Handbook lists the roles and functions of each K / L at the national level, also the Provincial, District / City and Village Governments, and non-governmental Institutions.

In Structure 1, 2, and 3 show quite different leadership and coordination structures. The existence of new structure 2 and 3 (Figures 5 and 6) do not negate the structure of the Gernas Task Force (Figure 4). This difference has the potential to cause confusion and overlapping work, for example in structure 1 (Figure 4) where Bappenas acts as the coordinator of the implementing technical team, while in structure 2 (Figure 5) Setwapres becomes the coordinator of the PforR Governance Structure and Structure 3 (Figure 6) Bappenas, Ministry of Health, and Ministry of Home Affairs become the coordinator of Stranas Stunting.

Clear division of roles is very important to ensure that efforts do not overlap and coordination and communication can work well across agencies and ministries. Ministry of Health and Ministry of Health PDTT which has a role and many technical programs in the field must have a significant role in the structure of the technical team. However, currently the Ministry of PDTT has positions as members in structures 1 and 3.

The plan to involve partners outside the government sector has also been included in every document even though it is not directly involved in all structures. Structure 1 and 2 also do not regulate the role of academics, professional organizations, civil society,

business community, and other development partners / donors in detail. Only structure 3 that explains in more detail the potential roles and functions of each partner. A broader Task Force, which allows the involvement of business networks, civil society alliances, and donors (DUNCNN) under the coordination of the Scaling Up Nutrition Movement technical team may be needed.

Financing Framework

The general scheme of funding sources for stunting programs in Indonesia is to use APBN (K / L budget), Special Allocation Funds, APBD 1 (Province), APBD 2 (Regency / City), village funds (APBDesa), and other legal sources. In 2018, the Ministry of Finance estimates the need for a budget allocation for nutrition of Rp 141.9 trillion annually to be consistent with the target of stunting reduction in the 2015-2019 RPJMN [22].

In accordance with the reconciliation results of the Ministry / Institution Work Plan (Renja K / L) and the Ministry / Agency Work Plan and Budget (RKA K / L) 2019, the 2019 budget allocation in the relevant APBN to support stunting reduction was Rp 29 trillion. The Ministry of Health managed Rp 3.6 trillion for specific nutrition interventions with macro and micro nutrient supplementation outputs, training in Infant and Child Feeding (PMBA), growth monitoring training, strengthening integrated nutrition information, and updating nutritional surveillance, and immunization. With an increase in total health function expenditure allocations in 2020 of Rp 1.4 trillion and an increase in BOK funds of Rp 475.9 billion for handling stunting in 260 regions, it can be estimated that the commitment to increase the mobilization of government funding sources for nutrition programs is very high [23].

Chapter 2

Village funds can be an important source of funding for stunting. Transfers to the regions and the Village Fund in 2020 as a whole are planned to reach Rp. 856 billion (34%). Village funds cover 10 potential categories and 48 subcategories. Upon approval taken through a village meeting, the Village Fund can finance issues that are appropriate to potential categories and subcategories. In addition, the issue must also be in line with village development goals, and government priorities at national and subnational levels. Within these categories, some are important determinants that contribute to

stunting prevention, such as access to clean water and sanitation, health promotion, growth monitoring, and nutrition of pre-school and school-aged children. [24]. The Permendesa PDTT 11/2019 concerning Priority for the Use of Village Funds in 2020 also includes stunting as a priority for the use of village funds. In its implementation, this regulation has not been well socialized to all village officials to understand that village funds can be used for stunting prevention programs. Only around 20% of Regent / Mayor have made regional regulations regarding the use of village funds for stunting programs.

Efforts to prevent stunting are also encouraged to explore other sources of funding that come from businesses and donors given the limited government funding. One of the major international funding sources for nutrition in Indonesia is the World Bank funding scheme. The World Bank provides loans to Indonesia with a results-based financing scheme (Performance for Results) that depends on achieving indicators / targets set (Disbursement Linked Indicators).

With the amount of resources spent on reducing stunting, the Government realizes the importance of starting to focus on the resulting impact. As part of the convergence effort on handling stunting, the Government has begun to implement a Tagging and Tracking system to finance specific and sensitive stunting programs, as well as assistance, coordination, and technical support, where the budget has been marked and allocated specifically for programs that can be traced its utilization and targets achieved . This system also makes it easier for the Government to conduct planning and performance evaluations, as well as to ensure the accountability of each K / L. The tagging process is not optimal because the thematic stunting marking on Renja and RKA K / L TA 2019 was only effectively implemented in October 2019. Unfortunately, this system has only been implemented for financing by the central government, but its use has not been traced to local budgets and village funds.

Finding 4

The amount of funding allocated for the stunting program needs to be encouraged for its efficiency and effectiveness. One method used

is through a budget tagging and tracking system as a tool to measure impact and encourage

accountability in the use of funds.

The regulatory, governance and financing framework is an important component that drives and enables programs / interventions to reduce stunting. These components will greatly affect the coordination, accountability, implementation, reporting, and especially the expected outputs. In the next chapter, the focus of the study will highlight the process of measuring and recording from various aspects of regulation to monitoring.

Toddler growth monitoring is an effort to obtain data on nutritional status of toddlers and indicators related to nutrition at the scale of posyandu, puskesmas and district services. This monitoring is carried out in stages to find out individual level progress, increase parental participation, and the community to maintain optimal toddler growth, as well as provide follow-up and counseling tools for behavior change.

At the policy making level, growth monitoring is useful for increasing the effectiveness of service targets and resource allocation. In addition, this monitoring is also able to encourage problem solving and planning at the village to district level. In related units in the village government, monitoring is also useful to support advocacy for program integration.

This chapter will examine the toddlers’ height measurement platforms available in Indonesia. Specifically, this chapter will highlight service standards, availability of resources, delivery arrangements for each platform, and integration between platforms.

Height measurement as a standard for monitoring Toddlers’ growth

The medical community began to introduce growth measurement practices in developing countries since the 1960s. Soon after, in the 1970s, the use of growth charts became standard practice. Scientific publications at the time linked much to growth monitoring with nutrition education and counseling. The measurement practice outside the building grew to become part of the activities of the primary health care community. World Health Organization (WHO) in 1978 included Growth Monitoring in the GOBI package (growth monitoring, oral rehydration therapy, breastfeeding, immunization) in the Child Survival Development Revolution program. This concept continued to evolve into Growth Monitoring and Promotion (GMP) in the mid 1980s.

The GMP includes the counseling component and links the measurement results to follow-up actions that must be taken afterwards [25]. This aspect of promotion aims to increase: (1) awareness of child growth; (2) parenting practices; (3) demand for related services, so it is becoming the key in family-level decisions for integrated nutrition services.

Indonesia adopted the GMP program and made it a component of the Family Nutrition Improvement Efforts (UPGK) since the 1970s through the Integrated Service Post (Posyandu). Posyandu was launched in 1986 and has become the main platform for GMP in Indonesia. At that time weight was still the main indicator of toddler growth.

Minister of Health Decree (Kepmenkes) No. 1995 / Menkes / SK / XII / 2010 set anthropometric standards for assessing children’s nutritional status. This anthropometric standard refers to the WHO Growth Standards 2005 [26]. WHO developed anthropometric standards through the WHO Multicenter Growth Reference Study which was also adopted by 159 other countries in the world. Categories and thresholds for children’s nutritional status are determined based on the index as shown in table 2.

Measuring body length or height measures included in the Stimulation, Detection and Early Intervention Program for Child Growth and Development (SDIDTK). Specific regulations governing the monitoring of growth, development, and developmental disorders of children regulating the goals, frequency, and scope of services are contained in two regulations, namely Minister of Health Regulation (Permenkes) No. 25 of 2014 concerning child health efforts and Permenkes No. 66 of 2014. Specifically, what is regulated in both regulations are:

1. Growth monitoring is a package of health services for infants, toddlers and preschoolers carried out in children aged 0 (zero) to 72 months. Weighing is done every month, measuring length / height every three months, and measuring head circumference according to schedule, namely at the age of 15, 21, 30, 42, 54, and 66 months.

2. Early detection of growth deviations is based on weight classification for height (BB / TB) by trained health workers.

CISDI

Permenkes No. 66 of 2014 defines a height below -2SD as short stature or short stature, in contrast to the WHO definition that a child is classified as stunting if the length or height is below minus two of the standard deviation (-2SD) the length or height of a child of his age [2].

Both Permenkes mention growth monitoring targeting infants, toddlers and preschoolers aged 0 (zero) to 72 months, in contrast to the Stranas Stunting priority targets which refer to children 0-23 months as priority targets and children aged 24-59 months as important targets. The measurement frequency listed in Permenkes No. 66 of 2014 is also different from Permenkes No.4 of 2019 regarding Technical Standards for Fulfillment of Basic Service Quality in Minimum Service Standards in the Health Sector. Minister of Health Regulation 66/2014 states that measurements of height every three months in children aged 0-12 months and every six months in children aged 12-72 months, while Permenkes 4/2019 regulates that measurements of length / height are carried out at least 2 times / year on children aged 0-59 months.

However, although both Permenkes insisted that this growth monitoring must be carried out comprehensively, counseling points after measurement are not explicitly written. In fact, counseling is an important component after the measurements made to provide an explanation and follow-up that must be carried out by the child’s guardian based on the measurement results. The counseling component for mothers is only listed in the management chart of children with malnutrition without details on the points that must be delivered according to the measurement results [27].

Finding 5

There are different definitions, target age groups, and recommended measurement

frequencies

Finding 6

communication escapes the growth monitoring service package

Box 1. Indonesian National Synthetic Growth Charts

In an article entitled “Indonesian National Synthetic Growth Charts” published in the ACTA

Scientific Paediatrics journal volume 1 issue 1, August 2018, Pulungan, A et.al. recommend

the use of Synthetic Growth Chart in Indonesia which were developed based on the 2013

Riskesdas data sample. Researchers consider this national growth to be more representative of

the nutritional status and growth of Indonesian children. WHO, PERSAGI, PDGMI, IDI, and IAKMI

in their official recommendations advise Indonesia to continue using the 2005 WHO

Growth Standards for children 0-59 months. The standard is designed to control genetic and

environmental factors and consider secular trends in the population. At the November 2019

meeting chaired by the Ministry of Health, it was agreed by all parties to continue using the 2005

WHO Growth Standards.

Delivery Arrangement

Posyandu is the backbone of monitoring infant growth in Indonesia that operates at least one (1) time a month at the hamlet level. The village midwife, PKK cadre and Posyandu cadre are the posyandu organizers. One cadre accompanies 10-20 target families.

Posyandu, which is implemented through a 5-table system, is expected to provide GMP services and other integrated nutrition (MCH, KB, Immunization, and diarrhea prevention). The success of Posyandu is reflected through the SKDN coverage: (a) D/S: community participation indicators (access) and (b) N / D: indicators of success (service quality). Using the BB / U indicator, the posyandu refers the child to the Puskesmas if in two measurements the body weight does not go up or fall below the red line (BGM) curve in the KMS. In certain conditions, if growth disorders are caused by comorbid diseases that cannot be treated at the Puskesmas, children are referred to the District / City Hospital.

There is still debate about whether Posyandu cadres can take measurements. In the National Strategy, it is said that ideally monitoring the growth and development of children in the posyandu is routinely conducted every month by health workers assisted by KPM and posyandu cadres, but for length / height measurements, it can be done at least once every three months. There are no standards / regulations that say that posyandu cadres are tasked with measuring height.

Anecdotal findings indicate that height measurements at posyandu are carried out by cadres. Measurements are made using a length board or microtoise anthropometry measuring device. Children who are detected with stunting will be referred to the puskesmas for validation of measurements by a nutritionist or midwife and further examination by a doctor.

A home visit by a companion cadre is carried out if a toddler is not present at the Posyandu. In areas with limited resources that do not allow the accompanying cadre to make regular home visits, sweeping is done twice a year by utilizing the Toddler Weighing Month (BPB). Follow-up after measurements in the Toddler Weighing Month are carried out through the same mechanism by the posyandu. Meanwhile, toddlers living in urban areas have alternative measurement platforms such as a doctor’s clinic or an independent hospital.

The Healthy Indonesia Program with the Family Approach (PIS-PK) can be used to ensure and educate every family that has a toddler to bring toddlers to the posyandu. One PIS-PK indicator verifies whether a toddler is weighed every month or not. If toddlers / parents are not present at the posyandu, counseling is done through home visits. The Healthy Family Index (IKS) can guide health center personnel to recognize patterns of health problems at the family level that contribute to stunting.

If anthropometric measurement tool is not yet available or limited, growth mat can be used temporarily as an early detection tool for stunting risk. In Posyandu with limited tools that are priority areas of the Smart Healthy Generation (GSC) program, together with posyandu cadres, midwives or other puskesmas workers, the Human Development Cadre (KPM) facilitates height measurement with growth mat.

KPM ensures the convergence of stunting handling at the village level. KPM conducts monthly monitoring of the implementation of the convergence of 5 stunting handling service packages. Monitoring is carried out by following the implementation of posyandu activities, PAUD activities, and visits to target homes.

Chapter 3CISDI

Determination of the prevalence of stunting at the national, provincial and district level is carried out by the Basic Health Research (Riskesdas) and the Indonesian Toddler Nutrition Status Survey (SSGBI). Riskesdas is conducted every 5 years and will be carried out again in 2023, while SSGBI is held once a year. Weight and height data are collected based on measurements by enumerators.

The integration of various Toddlers’ Growth Measurement Platforms in Indonesia can be seen in Figure 8.

Quality of growth measure platform

The model used as a reference frame for assessing the quality of growth platforms is the system evaluation model from Donabedian [28]. This model highlights three dimensions in quality assessment, namely: structure / input, process, and outcome (output)).

Based on this framework, this study uses a regulatory framework, governance and financing, availability and quality of human resources, as well as tools for measuring height and stunting data management as an important input or component to enable measurement of toddler height. In this study, the process component will focus on the frequency and quality of the measurement process, data interpretation, counseling and referral, as well as the process of recording and reporting data that will influence the expected output, namely quality data and integrated data systems.

Structure/ Input

Quality assessment of each platform based on structure / input is listed in table 3

In terms of governance, most of the existing measurement platforms are managed by the Ministry of Health. Some platforms such as growth mats, posyandu, and SSGBI are managed in collaboration with other Ministries. However, the platform still needs support from the Ministry of Health in its implementation in the field. Most of the funding on the platform managed by the Ministry of Health comes from BOK. In terms of funding, the measurement platform managed by the Ministry of Health is mostly sourced from the BOK puskesmas. Other sources of funds are village funds, APBN, APBD, and medical services paid by patients.

Based on table 2, the most ideal platform for growth measurement is posyandu. This is in view of the regular implementation of posyandu, which is once a month. However, posyandu governance at the central level is complicated because it must be managed by 4 different institutions (Ministry of Health, Ministry of Home Affairs, Ministry of Villages, and PKK driving teams). Height measurements are also not carried out every three months, only 2 times per year during BPB implementation. The limited availability of measuring instruments and the lack of cadre competence in measurement poses a posyandu constraint.

Although posyandu is the most ideal measurement platform, not all toddlers are examined for growth at posyandu. Nationally, Posyandu D / S coverage is 80.6% [7]. This shows that as much as 19.4% of toddlers are not brought to the posyandu. In addition, not all posyandus do body length measurements. As much as 46.8% toddlers have not received body length measurements in the last 12 months [7]. Ideally, toddlers who are not present at

Posyandu is the most ideal platform for monitoring growth. However, measurement

competencies.

posyandu get a home visit by the cadre. During home visits, cadres take measurements of growth and provide counseling about the growth and nutrition of children. However, the 2016 QSDS data found that only 35% of cadres visited homes [30].

The problem of the absence of toddlers to posyandu can ideally be overcome by sweeping the weighing of toddlers twice a year which is done during the weighing month of toddlers and providing education through home visits PIS-PK. At PIS-PK, health workers ask whether a toddler is weighed in a posyandu or a health facility in the past month. This indicator can be a complement and driver of the social accountability mechanism of the D / S posyandu indicator. However, the coverage of PIS-PK in 2019 was only 56%. In addition, awareness raising through PIS-PK has not been implemented well. Home visits were only used for data collection on Family Health Profile (prokesga).

Based on the FGD with Puskesmas and hospital service providers in Jakarta, the Puskesmas and resource hospitals have an adequate measuring platform. The standard of equipment used at the puskesmas refers to the standards of the Ministry of Health and the Department of Health. At the hospital, the tools used refer to the Ministry of Health’s standards and are part of the hospital accreditation assessment. Tool calibration is carried out annually to ensure measurement accuracy.

In terms of HR, cadres become important actors in measuring height at posyandu and weighing months for toddlers. The TPG and the village midwife control the quality of height measurements made by cadres at the puskesmas, and also become health workers who measure the growth of children in poly nutrition at the puskesmas. In the scope of MTBS and puskesmas immunization services, height measurements are carried out by nurses before the patient meets the doctor. The doctor will re-measure if extreme measurement data are found. Identification of HR involved in the measurement process is in table 4.

Based on table 4, different handling is needed for each health worker in terms of height measurement. As the only non-health worker in the measurement process, posyandu cadres need intensive assistance from TPG and village midwives at table 3 posyandu. For village midwives, nurses and TPG, in-service training is needed to ensure the three health workers measure accurately and according to standards while keeping abreast of developments in science. At present, there is no standardized in-service training to improve the competency of nutrition workers. The Unicef study [29] found a lack of pre-service training for nutrition workers in puskesmas. Therefore, in-service training is needed to close the competency gap.

In physicians and pediatricians, no study was found regarding the lack of pre-service training in height measurement. Based on FGDs and interviews with a number of doctors and pediatricians from Jakarta, the majority of children’s height measurements were carried out by nurses before the patient was examined by a doctor or pediatrician. Thus, very few cases of growth measured directly by the doctor.

Increased physician awareness about the urgency of height measurements is needed to ensure that children with extreme measurement results are comprehensively re-measured by doctors, therefore early detection of stunting can be done. In addition, the ability of doctors to conduct post-measurement counseling and communication of behavioral changes needs to be improved. Through counseling, mothers get the right information about stunting and other health problems so that the mother’s excessive worries can be overcome. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure that the doctor has good counseling skills so that the information is conveyed appropriately.

Process

After a toddler is measured, the measurement data will be recorded in the patient register. The method of recording is different on each platform. For example, measurement results at the posyandu are recorded in the weighing register, but in the PIS-PK the findings are recorded in the Family Health Profile (prokesga) and Healthy Family Application. After the data is recorded, the measurement officer provides counseling to the toddler mother. If a toddler is found to be experiencing nutritional problems, a toddler will be referred to the next level of health care. Quality assessment of each platform based on the process dimensions is shown in table 4.

1. Posyandu Measurement

• Growth monitoring is carried out once a month

• Routine BB Weighing every month• Most Posyandus measure TB every 6

months at BPB

Data Recording

• The results of weighing are recorded in the baby’s weighing register.

• KIA Handbook: body weight filled in the BB / U chart, height filled in the TB / U chart. The officer checks whether BB / U and TB / U fit the standard curve for toddler growth

Counseling

• Counseling is done after recording data. Officers provide feedback by explaining the meaning of growth graphs on KMS / KIA books and giving advice on feeding children according to their age group. Cadres also invite mothers to come to the posyandu every month

Handling and referral

• If the child’s BB does not increase 2 times (T2) or remains below the red line (BGM), the officer asks questions and takes notes on health complaints and toddler eating habits.

• After that, the officer explains the possible causes of the child’s BB not going up and gives advice on child feeding

The officer then refers the child to a health facility

• TB measurements vary. The majority does not take measurements every 3 months

• Cadre measurement competency is low

• Baby weighing register: must include NIK, many mothers do not carry ID cards or do not have ID cards.

• KIA Handbook: TB charts are not filled by cadres, only BB charts are filled.

• ePPGBM: not all cadres can operate computers, there are no computers / laptops available at the posyandu, there is no ePPGBM training for cadres

The focus of counseling is only on the child’s BB.There is no mechanism for case finding and stunting case counseling at posyandu

• It is uncertain toddlers who are stunting referred to a health facility. There needs to be a follow-up on home visits by officers for toddlers detected by BGM

• Detection of new cases of BGM. There is no detection mechanism for toddler stunting, so the toddler stunting referral system is not yet operational.

• KIA Handbook: Body weight is filled in the BB / U graph, height is filled in the TB / U chart, The officer checks whether the BB / U and TB / U matches the standard curve for toddler growth

Data collection from posyandu

• Cadres collect toddler weighing registers and posyandu information system documents a week after posyandu activities

Counseling

• Counseling is done after data recording. Officers provide feedback by explaining the meaning of growth graphs according to the plotting BB / U and TB / U children. The officer also provides a referral for baby feeding

Handling and refferal

• Toddler stunting and malnutrition receive a 90-day recovery PMT and receive a home visit from a health worker to monitor the increase in weight

If there is no improvement, the toddler will be referred to the hospital

In some cases, the coverage of toddlers measurement is little, because toddlers are only measured if they are sick or come to immunization services

• Baby registers and posyandu information systems: Delayed collection from posyandu

• e-PPGBM: Takes a long time to enter data from Posyandu. Inadequate time, lack of technical assistance from the health department

If the nutrition officer does not have a background and understanding of nutrition, then counseling is not optimal

In some rural settings, the distance from the puskesmas to the RSUD is far, thus in order to go to the hospital, the patient’s parents must pay non-health costs such as transportation and lodging costs. Meanwhile, parents’ financial capacity

Based on table 5, height measurements have not been routinely measured at posyandu so the stunting case finding has not yet taken place. Village cadres and midwives who work at the posyandu have not consistently filled the TB/ U charts in the KIA handbook. This has caused early detection and education of stunting cases not yet fulfilled.

The ability of cadres in KMS chart/ KIA book interpretation and counseling is low. Based on the findings of Pencerah Nusantara [31] the TB/ U graphs were not filled in the KIA book because: (1) height measurement tools were not available; (2) cadres’ inability to take measurements; (3) cadres ignorance regarding TB / U content charts, (4) the number of tasks that must be carried out by cadres during posyandu; and (5) there is no height measurement form that must be reported to the puskesmas. This is in line with the results of monitoring and evaluation conducted by the Ministry of Health related to the use of KIA books in 9 Districts / Cities. This study showed that only 18% of KIA books were filled in with the highest level of occupational health care during pregnancy and newborns [10].

Besides filling in by cadres, KIA book ownership is also still a problem. Based on 2018 RISKESDAS data, 24.9% of pregnant women do not have KIA books, while the level of ownership of KIA books in toddlers is 65.9%. In fact, according to Riskesdas 2013 and Sirkesnas 2016, there was a link between the ownership of the KIA Handbook and the utilization of maternal and child health services [10]. Based on the findings of the FGD, parents’ awareness of bringing

Finding 10

The TB / U graphs are not filled in the KIA book due to: (1) the unavailability of height

measurement tools, (2) the limited ability of cadres to measure; (3) ignorance of cadres

filling TB / U charts; (4) lack of cadres in charge at posyandu; and (5) there is no height

measurement form that must be reported to the puskesmas.

KIA books when coming to the posyandu or to health services is also still low. Health workers often meet parents who do not carry a KIA book and do not know the urgency of recording and health information in the KIA book.

On most platforms, recording problems occur due to the lack of time, ignorance of officers, manual recording mechanism not yet running, and application technical issues (for example on ePPGBM and Healthy Family Application).

In the recording application, the recording officer requires training and technical support in the form of assistance, the availability of tools, and internet access. Technical constraints such as loss of data after entry also sometimes occur due to the lack of user understanding of the application. Limited internet access must be addressed with the presence of offline applications that can be used. Slow application access requires adequate data server support.

The results of recording the height become the cadre counseling / health workers to mothers of toddlers. Anecdotal findings suggest that mothers have excessive worries if stunting is detected by a toddler, that she will be labeled as a bad mother. Therefore, a proper understanding of stunting must be given by cadres / health workers after measurement and height recording.

Information about stunting can be conveyed well if several important components such as early detection of stunting, the ability of cadres and health workers in communicating behavior change, and the availability of a wide range of information media. First, stunting screening at posyandu and health facilities must be carried out as an early detection and entry point for providing appropriate information about stunting. A proper understanding of stunting can also be given when cadres make home visits in an effort to ‘pick up the ball’ for mothers who do not bring toddlers to the posyandu. Secondly, cadres and health workers must have good skills in conveying behavioral change communication.

Page 58: IMPLEMENTATION OF TODDLERS’ HEIGHT ......Implementation of Toddlers’ Height Measurement Activities and Integrated Stunting Data Management in Indonesia Published in Indonesia 2019

Chapter 3

Therefore, the Ministry of Health needs to ensure training and material regarding communication on behavior change related to stunting is given to cadres. Third, media is needed as a tool to spread accurate information about stunting. This can be accommodated through national stunting campaigns and public service announcements coordinated by the Ministry of Health.

Based on table 5, counseling activities are carried out on 5 platforms, namely posyandu, puskesmas, hospitals, PIS-PK, and BPB. Most counseling is carried out by posyandu cadres and TPG. However, the QSDS study found that only 45% of posyandus carried out post-measurement counseling and only 39% of posyandu cadres had the ability to provide counseling to toddlers’ mothers [30]. Counseling activities did not go well because: (1) cadres’ ability to translate KMS graphics into counseling messages was still limited; (2) the cadre’s ability to provide counseling if a problem with limited nutritional status was found; (3) weak supervision and guidance of health workers in counseling sessions; and (4) lack of cadre’s ability to communicate behavior change. This shows the function of counseling and competence of cadres in providing counseling was still low.

In private health services, the flow of data reporting to the health department is not yet qualified. Data reporting by private FKTP to health centers and the health department was still voluntary and has not become an obligation. Field findings from the City of Depok explained the mechanism of reporting hospitals to the health department built through online discussion groups using Whatsapp application and an internal application called SIBIMA. However, this mechanism has not been applied yet in all districts / cities.

For the referral process, the initial referral to the stunting case was carried out at the puskesmas. The management of cases of toddlers with nutritional problems needs to be clarified. The provision of PMT recovery cannot be the only intervention for stunting toddlers. At the hospital, referral was made to the

hospital after the recovery of the patient. Growth monitoring is important so that children do not experience recurrent nutritional problems.

Ideally, stunting data from posyandu and puskesmas are then reported on the ePPGBM application. This application has the potential as a source of reference data for district / city governments. If the data collection mechanism with ePPGBM works well, this platform can provide monthly stunting prevalence. This platform can also act as an early warning system for stunting toddler cases to be followed up by puskesmas and health offices. Intervention in stunting toddler can also be done directly because data by name by address stunting toddler is available on the ePPGBM application.

However, the potential for ePPGBM applications is still constrained by the quality of the input and measurement processes that are still problematic. Poor posyandu and puskesmas data resulted in invalid height measurements. This caused the validity and reliability of the stunting prevalence data taken to be doubtful thus the effectiveness of the determination of service targets, program planning, and allocation of resources for overcoming stunting was not on target.

Finding 11

Counseling activities are not going well because of the limited ability of cadres to translate data

into counseling messages and in communication of behavior change, as well as weak monitoring

and training of health workers.

Technical studies on this dimension depart from the basic assumption that measurement data are only meaningful if they can be used as a basis for improving policy making and clinical decision making. Measurement information will only be of little value if it is not available in a format that meets the needs of many users and is not delivered in a timely manner.

Stunting information systems collect data from the health sector and other related sectors and turn it into information for decision making. Integration of planning, implementation, evaluation, and control of stunting interventions needs to be supported by data that are accurate, current, integrated, can be accounted for, easily accessed, and shared, and is managed carefully, integrated, and sustainably.

Communication is an important attribute in the use of stunting information systems. Information will be of little value if it is not available in a format that meets the needs of many users and is not delivered in a timely manner. A good stunting information system ensures that all users have access to reliable, understandable and comparable data.

The issue of the availability of quality and timely data is still a major problem in integrated stunting information systems. This is caused by two fundamental problems: (1) the availability of quality data, especially in various measurement platforms due to implementation constraints as explained in chapter 3; (2) the flow and openness of data access.

This chapter will describe integrated data management efforts that are used to help manage programs / or activities related to reducing stunting at the national to village level. Specifically, this chapter will dissect about: (1) data availability and quality, (2) data integration and system interoperability for analysis and synthesis; and (3) use of data related to stunting in the framework of one data policy. Furthermore, the strategic issues that will be discussed in this chapter will lead to efforts to arrange data transactions in health service facilities as a source of data to improve the quality

and access to health data and information.

Data Generation: Availability and Quality

The measurement and publication of stunting numbers is a joint responsibility between the Regional Government and the Central Government. District / City Health Offices are responsible for collecting data at the individual level and individual health facility level data. The central government has the duty to collect data at population level and surveillance. Next is the division of roles of each actor involved:

1. Puskesmas, as the Technical Implementation Unit (UPT) of the District / City Health Office, carries out quality control over the implementation of the measurement platform and ensures information flow runs from the individual to the District / City level. Puskesmas is tasked with arranging schedules and preparing the human, logistical and financial resources needed for measurement according to the available platform options. Puskemas coordinate with Puskesmas Pembantu, Polindes, Poskesdes, Posyandu, clinics, hospitals in their working area to take measurements and ensure information flow enters the Puskesmas Information System. Puskesmas is also responsible for carrying out quality control by re-measuring randomly in the time close to the previous measurement day.

Puskesmas are the main users of data at the individual and family level. Puskesmas use measurement data to show that a child is growing and developing normally, at risk, or has problems that must be dealt with. At the family level, Puskesmas utilize measurement data to show patterns of health problems at the family level that contribute to stunting.

2. District / City Health Offices must build a tiered stunting information system as part of the Regional Health Information System (SIKDA).

CHAPTER 4. Integrated Stunting Information System: Implementation and Quality Assurance

Chapter 4

This information system contains the results of measurements of growth and development of toddlers, especially height and weight, in stages from Posyandu to a higher level, both manually and online. These data must be kept up to date so that they are always up to date and in accordance with the changes that occur in toddlers encountered when measured at the toddler growth and development monitoring platform. The District / City Health Office is responsible for providing feedback on Puskesmas reports and validating data entered into the Data Communication Application and then sent to the Ministry of Health database server to enter the centralized National Health Information System (SIKNAS).

District / City Health Office processes the measurement data to assess progress at the village / hamlet / subdistrict level. This processing is used to analyze risk factors in the community and guide the determination of priority intervention locations, as well as resource allocation. Data can be analyzed based on trends, demographics and geography, comparability and relationships between programs / activities.

3. The Central Government, in this case the Ministry of Health and BPS, is responsible for conducting household surveys and surveillance. Both are often the main references for information related to stunting in locations where data at the health facility level is not reliable. Comparison between various household surveys and nutrition related surveillance and challenges in its management can be seen in table 6.

Many findings indicate the limitations of measurement coverage due to capacity constraints of program holders and the availability of logistics for data collection. The World Bank’s QSDS research (2016) states that only 61% of Puskesmas have received training in monitoring child growth and development and only 47% of cadres have received the same training in the last 12 months. Posyandu readiness is at the forefront of data collection due to

logistical sufficiency: only 30% have lengthboards.

This combination causes stunting problems not to be captured in health information systems in many districts / cities. As a result, growth monitoring at the grassroots level still relies on Toddler BGM data, the scope of case finding is also limited. Riskesdas said the number of children under five who had not been weighed in the past 6 months increased from 25.5% (2007) to 34.3% (2018). The low coverage of e-PPGBM (49.6%) causes household survey and surveillance to be the main source of stunting data.

Anecdotal findings, which were confirmed through interviews with experts, also indicated several problems in data quality, which includes: (1) data not collected (for example, there were toddlers who were not brought to Posyandu and were not recorded in the monitoring system (completeness); (2) data were collected according to protocols which can change depending on who and when the data was collected (precision and reliability), (3) Data was collected, but distortion occured in transmission (for example: there is a change in data in the transfer of notes in the Posyandu to the Puskesmas report to the Health Service report) so that it does not reflect what actually happened (validity); (4) Data was collected using more than one format with different elements, not integrated, and stored by more than one system with low interoperability (interoperability); (5) Data storage is carried out by individual managers with low interagency coordination mechanisms (ex: lack of coordination of data collected between the Ministry of Health and Ministry of Health); and (6) data reporting delays (timeliness) because the recording and reporting system takes time, capacity limitations, geographical and infrastructure challenges, and so on

Data Integration for analysis and synthesis

Stranas Stunting establishes specific and sensitive nutrition intervention groups to guide program implementers in converging programs amid limited resources. By adopting the Conceptual Framework of Determinants of Child Undernutrition (UNICEF, 2013), The Underlying Drivers of Malnutrition (IFPRI, 2016), and the Factors that Cause Nutrition Problems in the Indonesian Context (Bappenas, 2018), Stranas Stunting sets priority specific nutrition intervention groups, supporters, and priorities according to certain conditions. In addition, Stranas Stunting also stipulates sensitive nutrition interventions carried out through various programs and activities outside the Ministry of Health.

The establishment of the intervention group also guides program implementers to carry out analysis and synthesis of data related to stunting. To provide information for strategic decisions, an analysis of the situation of a stunting reduction program is not only done by identifying the distribution of stunting prevalence, but also gathering data on the situation of related service availability (see table 6. Only in this way, the stunting prevalence rate can be given a “meaning”. , if there are areas with programs related to priority nutrition interventions that are relatively complete, service coverage is relatively adequate, but the prevalence of stunting is still high, then the analysis needs to be sharpened by looking at the quality of specific nutrition services and access to sensitive nutrition services.

Stunting information systems still have problems with system integration in both the health and non-health sectors. At the district / city Health Office level, there are at least 11 separate Public Health Center Information System reporting forms that track the scope of activities and programs related to stunting. This results in overlaps in data collection and processing and there is still repeated data collection by different units. Fragmented data because each program has a database that stands alone creates obstacles when users need composite information that must correlate two or more databases. This condition also results in an administrative burden ratio at health service facilities become large which have an impact on the disruption of the performance of public services.

Finding 13

A fragmented information system where there is difficulty in exchanging data between one system

and another due to system interoperability limitations

Each district / city also has its own Puskesmas Information System (SIMPUS) and e-Puskesmas which have not been integrated with the Regional Health Information System (SIKDA). Each of these information systems tends to collect as much and direct data as possible from the lowest health care facilities using their own programming languages. As a result, development efforts tend to create their own health information systems and pay less attention to the sustainability of the system and the concept of system integration for efficiency.

Human resources play an important role in the successful implementation of health information systems. However, current conditions both at central and regional levels are still limited both in terms of the quantity and quality of health information system management personnel. So far, in some areas, data and information managers are generally workers who hold concurrent positions or other tasks, which in reality are unable to fully work in managing data and information due to inappropriate incentives. Many of them choose part time jobs elsewhere. This weakness is compounded by the lack of skills

Page 64: IMPLEMENTATION OF TODDLERS’ HEIGHT ......Implementation of Toddlers’ Height Measurement Activities and Integrated Stunting Data Management in Indonesia Published in Indonesia 2019

71

CISDI

and knowledge of data managers in the field of information, particularly information technology and its use. During this time, there have been functional positions for data and information managers, such as computer institutions, statistics, epidemiologists, information security, but have not been fully utilized.

The mechanism of monitoring and evaluation is still low. The weaknesses and various problems in the implementation of information system of health of course can be identified with the mechanism of monitoring and evaluation as well as audit of information system of health. Unfortunately, the mechanism of monitoring and evaluation has not been coordinated and implemented well.

In the Ministry of Health, data management functions related to fragmentation are fragmented between Data and Information Centers (Pusdatin), Information Centers in each technical Directorate and Health Research and Development Department (Litbangkes). The results of the health information system assessment from the Health Metric Network (2012) indicated that the six components of the implementation of the health information system are inadequate, especially for the management component. The results of the e-health assessment using the 2013 Commission on Information and Accountability (COIA) assessment tool also showed that the six components of e-health implementation (policies, infrastructure, applications, standards, governance, and security) were available, but did not meet standard. Close coordination between sub-units is needed to collect, check validity, and publish it in a national health database.

The weak condition of the current health information system is inseperabale of the weak role of Pusdatin in developing the system of recording and reporting. In principle, information system in the main unit must be able to communicate with integrated application in the Data and Information Center (data communication and data warehouse). However, every main unit in the Ministry of Health has the support of reporting application that are varied in order to manage data and information. Internally,

the main unit still faces hard times to perform data integration. In addition, the mechanism/ procedures related to one-door information has not been available. This has become the cause of the occurance of duplication of data and become one of the factors that become a constraint in building health information system in areas integrated with national health information system.

To facilitate the level of coordination between Ministries, various national information systems and e-government governance policies have been formulated, including Information and Communication Technology Strategy, Presidential Instruction number 3 of 2003 concerning e-Government Development, Law number 14 of 2008 concerning Information and Electronic Transactions, Government Regulation number 82 of 2012 concerning the Implementation of Electronic Transactions and Systems, Government Regulation number 46 of 2014 concerning Health Information Systems, and Presidential Regulation number 96 of 2014 concerning Indonesian Broadband Plans. Republic of Indonesia Presidential Regulation (Perpres) No. 39 of 2019 concerning One Data Indonesia provides a policy framework for standardization of data collection and preparation of evidence-based policies. The data management system includes data from each indicator from data stunting to the scope of specific and sensitive nutrition interventions. However, the national policy has not significantly had a positive impact on the implementation of the health information system, both at the regional and central levels.

In fact, the one data stunting policy has a number of important objectives. Among these are the structuring of regulations and the institutionalization of data management, and the integration of data from Ministries / Institutions, regional governments and state institutions into one data portal so as to produce an open data set. The hope is that there is a big data for stunting generated, managed and stored by the Government and can be utilized by any organization, including within the government itself. Thus, every policy, program and development

Page 65: IMPLEMENTATION OF TODDLERS’ HEIGHT ......Implementation of Toddlers’ Height Measurement Activities and Integrated Stunting Data Management in Indonesia Published in Indonesia 2019

72

Chapter 4

activity is based on a shared database that can be accounted for.

The challenges to building cross-sectoral networks are very large, even though the one data policy and open data stunting are very important for managing the main database. The existence of government policies in strengthening e-government will depend on the interoperability of all system components. The unavailability of standards and protocols in the implementation of information systems in each ministry / institution results in unclear “rules of the game”. Data and information access from cross-units in the Ministry of Health and across sectors is still difficult because networks to strengthen the availability of valid and accurate data cannot be optimally carried out. The need to calculate health indicators does not only come from one source of data only, but from several data sources. For example, to measure or calculate the scope of success of a health program it requires data outside the health sector, such as population data as a denumerator from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS). From these conditions, it can be seen that the availability of protocols to build networks and establish standards supported by legal aspects is one of the challenges that must be immediately intervened.

Data Utilization

In addition to being weak in the the coverage of program, follow-up post measurement is often unavailable. GMP in Indonesia is established with low encouragement on the use of growth information obtained to educate betterment of eating patterns and children care patterns. Anecdotal finding identified that although some of the Puskesmas Program Holder’s time is spent collecting and

Finding 14

reporting information, data is rarely used to improve policy and implementation. Forums to share and discuss relevant data in each and between sectors are also not available at all levels.

Unreliable integrated data of stunting results in a weak basis for drafting regulations and integrated action plans (see figure 11). Integrated stunting data management is carried out throughout the fiscal year to support the overall budgeting process, as well as monitoring and evaluating the implementation of convergence actions to reduce stunting. Weak data management systems will cause the following Integration Actions that require integrated data for stunting: action # 1 (Situation Analysis), action # 2 (Action Plan), action # 7 (Measurement and Publication of Stunting), and action # 8 related to Review of Annual Performance does not have sufficient input.

Finding 15

Inadequate data causes a weak basis for the preparation of regulations and programs and can

reduce community control mechanisms

CISDI

As explained in the previous chapter, this technical study has: (1) identified gaps and explored the role of regulations, governance, and related stakeholders; and (2) checking program / activity gaps related to the practice of measuring, collecting, publishing and utilizing integrated data on stunting.

In the first part, this chapter presents a synthesis of various findings (gaps from ideal conditions) identified through literature and policy studies; interviews with various expert speakers and field visits to see good practices in handling stunting at the district level.

In the second part, this chapter proposes a number of recommendations as a result of in-depth conceptualization of the analysis of findings, the implications of the findings, and the causes underlying the findings (drivers). Recommendations are submitted in the form of a road map that takes into account allegations about possible scenarios in the future (scenarios).

Synthesis and Implications

Regulatory Framework, Governance and Financing

Technical studies on this dimension depart from the basic assumption that good governance will encourage good practices in program implementation. This study will focus on the regulatory, governance and financing framework as enabling factors that shape good governance. The combination of these three elements will provide direction and space for stakeholders to collaborate, exchange information and promote evidence-based policies.

a. Regulation Framework

Nutrition improvement efforts have become a global concern and are on the global development agenda. In 2012, WHO through the World Health Assembly (WHA) Resolution endorsed and

encouraged member countries and international partners to implement a Comprehensive Implementation Plan on Maternal, Infant and Young Children Nutrition. Nutrition improvement targets in the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) agenda were then continued and entered the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) agenda with the aim of eliminating all forms of malnutrition by 2030. Each member country has a moral responsibility to translate them into a national policy framework.

In 2018, the Government launched the National Strategy for the Acceleration of Prevention of Stunting (Stranas) which was the Government’s response to a weak integration program aimed at key targets in priority locations. The National Strategy also provides an overview of the work plan and the role of each party to reduce the national stunting rate.

The regulatory framework is available at the national level at various levels but translating and applying it to the subnational level is still a challenge. Stunting has entered the national priority and implemented 23 K / L. The government has issued a strategy to install it implemented at the top level, one of which is through the measurement of length / height that is included as part of the Minimum Service Standards (SPM) indicators. However, licensing and implementation are still being considered regarding cross-sectoral cooperation, even regulations that have not been harmonized.

b. Governance

The government designed an institutional architecture to divide the roles among ministries / institutions at the national level, regulate central-regional authority, facilitate policy implementation, and monitor the achievements of improving community nutrition. From the results of the policy analysis, this study compares the three governance structures at the national level listed in the key document:

CHAPTER 5. Synthesis and Implementation of Study Results

Page 78: IMPLEMENTATION OF TODDLERS’ HEIGHT ......Implementation of Toddlers’ Height Measurement Activities and Integrated Stunting Data Management in Indonesia Published in Indonesia 2019

92

Chapter 5

(1) Framework for Implementation of the 2013 National Movement for Nutrition Improvement Acceleration, (2) World Bank Performance for Results Financing (PforR) in 2018, (3) National Strategy for the Acceleration of Prevention of stunting 2018-2024.

The three documents show different leadership and coordination structures. The governance structure carried by the 2nd and 3rd documents does not annul the institutional architecture of the 1st document. This difference creates confusion and overlapping work, for example in the first document the implementing / technical team is coordinated by Bappenas, while in the second document it is coordinated by the Secretariat of the Presidential Secretariat while the third document is by three Ministries, namely Bappenas, Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Home Affairs. At the implementing agency level, the main measurement platforms such as Posyandu are directly and indirectly managed by four different institutions, namely the Ministry of Health, Ministry of Home Affairs, Ministry of Villages, and PKK driving team which do not have a joint implementation guidance document.

c. Funding Framework

The Government is committed to ensuring the availability of adequate and sustainable sources of financing for efforts to reduce the prevalence of stunting. The general scheme of government funding sources for stunting programs in Indonesia is using the APBN (K / L budget), Special Allocation Funds, APBD 1 (Province), APBD 2 (District / City), village funds (APBDesa), and other sources that is legitimate. In addition, there are also sources of non-government funds that can come from legal entities / businesses, donors, or individuals / groups of people.

In 2018, the Ministry of Finance estimated that a budget allocation for nutrition needed was Rp 141.9 T annually to meet the stunting reduction target in the 2015-2019 RPJMN. Based on the

evaluation of the Ministries / Institutions Work Plans (Renja K / L) and the Ministries / Institutions Work and Budget Plans (RKA K / L) 2019, the relevant 2019 APBN budget allocation to support stunting reduction was recorded at Rp 29 trillion.

Recognizing the limited resources to fund innovation programs related to stunting, the Government has been exploring other funding sources that come from businesses and donors. One source of international funding for stunting in Indonesia is the World Bank funding scheme. In 2018, the World Bank provided soft loans to Indonesia with a performance-based financing scheme (Performance for Results) that depends on the achievement of the indicators / targets set (Disbursement Linked Indicators). The PforR mechanism seeks to bridge the Government budget deficit.

Another potential source of funding is the Village Fund. The Minister of Village’s Regulation concerning Priority in Using Village Funds in 2020 makes stunting a priority. In practice, the regulation is still in the stage of socialization. Only around 20% of Bupatis / Mayors have made regional regulations regarding the use of village funds for stunting programs. This also shows the commitment of the regional government in funding the stunting program, one of which is related to cadre fees, where there are still many imbalances in honorariums.

Starting in 2020, the Ministry of Finance will implement new provisions on Regional Incentive Funds (DID), as stated in PMK no. 141/2019. DID have the opportunity to provide incentives to the regions depending on the achievement of the main criteria and predetermined performance categories. One of the measured performances is public services in the health sector, which include stunting handling efforts. This policy has the opportunity to encourage regional governments to make optimal efforts to deal with stunting.

CISDI

The large allocation of funding for the stunting program has also begun to encourage the Government of Indonesia to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of its use. One method used is through the budget tagging and tracking system as a tool to measure the impact, performance and encourage accountability in

the use of funds. Unfortunately, this method has not yet been used to the village level. In addition, the absence of a national policy framework that includes a clear division of roles for stunting financing between the central, provincial, and district / city governments is a problem to ensure efforts are implemented properly.

Targeted strategic policies are based on the needs, data and available evidence

The policy framework for the acceleration of stunting prevention programs already exists at various levels and sectors which should be sufficient to encourage the realization as targeted. However, the implementation gap at the subnational level is still a challenge, especially due to the unavailability of a sustainability strategy

• Encouraging the implementation at the regional level is carried out according to policy.

• In-depth policy review especially about the impact on the community.

• The legal umbrella that underlies the National Strategy, is recommended in the form of Perpres / PP.

Toddler Height Measurement: Implementation and Quality Assurance

The technical study on this dimension departs from the basic assumption that technical validity / height soundness measurement on various platforms and integration between services will enable the availability of height measurement data that are accurate, current, integrated, and accountable. Measurement data becomes a tool to identify nutritional problems in children as early as possible. At the policy making level, measurement data are useful for increasing the effectiveness of planning and determining service targets and resource allocation, as well as problem solving and monitoring at the village to district level.

a. Measurement Standards

The concept of Growth Monitoring has developed over the past few decades and has become a basic component of primary health care. In its development, this concept was transformed into Growth Monitoring and Promotion (GMP) which emphasized aspects of post-measurement counseling and referral governance.

This technical study captures several strategic issues regarding standard measurement practices in Indonesia. First, there are differences of opinion regarding the accuracy of Growth Standards used in Indonesia. Minister of Health Decree (Kepmenkes) No. 1995 / Menkes / SK / XII / 2010 set anthropometric standards used to refer to the 2005 WHO Growth Standard as long as Indonesia does not yet have a valid National Growth Chart Standard.

Second, there are differences in the target age groups and recommended measurement frequencies in several regulatory frameworks in Indonesia. Third, the differences in interpretation of measurement results in relation to operational definitions of nutritional status. Permenkes No. 66 of 2014 defines height below -2SD as short stature or short stature that can occur due to normal variations. This is different from the definition used by WHO: A child is classified as stunting if the length or height is below minus two of the standard deviation (-2SD) of the length or height of a child at his age. Fourth, the communication component of behavior change, especially aspects of counseling, including interpersonal communication aspects, escapes the growth monitoring service package.

Page 81: IMPLEMENTATION OF TODDLERS’ HEIGHT ......Implementation of Toddlers’ Height Measurement Activities and Integrated Stunting Data Management in Indonesia Published in Indonesia 2019

CISDI

There is still debate about whether Posyandu cadres can take measurements. In the National Strategy, it is said that ideally monitoring the growth and development of children in the posyandu is routinely conducted every month by health workers assisted by KPM and posyandu cadres, but for length / height measurements, it can be done at least once every three months. There are no standards / regulations that say that posyandu cadres are tasked with measuring height.

In reality, health workers are not available in all places equally and often they have too much workload, so cadres often become the backbone of body measurements. For this reason, regulatory support is needed which states that trained cadres are allowed to measure height in conditions where health workers are not available.

b. Technical Soundness

Posyandu is the backbone of monitoring the growth of toddlers in Indonesia but is constrained by the availability of standardized measurement tools, the availability of nutrition workers at the puskesmas and measuring competence of both posyandu cadres and health workers. The results of the World Bank’s QSDS research (2016) mention that only 61% of Puskesmas have received training in monitoring child growth and development and only 47% of cadres have received the same training in the last 12 months. Posyandu readiness is at the forefront of data collection due to logistical sufficiency: only 30% have lengthboards. With the unavailability of standardized measurement tools and limited measuring competence, the opportunity to prevent stunting and detect early cases may be lost.

The workflow / business process for monitoring growth has not focused on aspects of data interpretation, counseling and referral to subsequent services after measurement. Field

findings indicate that Posyandu services stop at the measurement table due to high workloads and limited capacity of posyandu cadres and the availability of health workers. As a result, the management of cases of toddlers with nutritional problems in practice does not run according to the service standards set.

This combination causes height data to detect nutritional status according to TB / U and BB / TB not caught in health information systems in many districts / cities. As a result, growth monitoring at the grassroots level still relies on Toddler BGM data, the scope of case finding is also limited. Riskesdas said the number of children under five who had not been weighed in the past 6 months increased from 25.5% (2007) to 34.3% (2018). The low coverage of e-PPGBM (49.6%) causes household surveys (co: Susenas, Riskesdas, SSGBI) and surveillance is still the main source of stunting data [30]. This is due to the fact that there are still many areas that are still constrained by problems such as network limitations and manpower capacity to conduct manual input and integration with other reporting systems.

c. Inter-service Integration

The success of Posyandu as the backbone of monitoring toddlers’ growth can be achieved if the system is connected to the network of other Puskesmas activities / programs. To reach targets that do not have access to Posyandu, sweeping is done twice a year through the Toddler Weighing Month. The Healthy Indonesia Program with the Family Approach (PIS-PK) is also a means to analyze risk factors at the family level. The Early Childhood Development, Detection and Intervention Program (SDIDTK) is also an important intervention to monitor the growth and development of children by involving community, school and health personnel involvement.

For people who live in urban areas, measurements are often carried out on clinical platforms and private hospitals. Private clinics and

Chapter 5

independent practice help provide services to the community level. However, not all services do height / length measurements, and only do weight measurements. Health service providers are expected to carry out height measurements according to standards as part of basic services provided to toddlers.

Anecdotal findings, confirmed through interviews and field visits, indicate that the existing service platforms are still fragmented and not interconnected within the framework of the referral efforts. One of them is because there is no interconnected information / data system or enables data exchange between health services among the public and public-private sectors.

The Human Development Cadre (KPM) was initiated to encourage social monitoring

mechanisms at the village level. KPM ensures stunting services to 1,000 HPK families using growth mats and convergence score cards as an education and risk factor detection tool. KPM conducts monthly monitoring of the implementation of the convergence of 5 stunting handling service packages through the implementation of posyandu activities, PAUD activities, and visits to target homes. This social monitoring system is under the coordination of the Ministry of Villages, Disadvantaged Regions and Transmigration (Kemendes PDTT), but unfortunately it has not been well integrated into the Ministry of Health’s monitoring system. This also created confusion due to the presence of posyandu cadres and KPM.

Integrated Stunting Information System: Implementation and Quality Assurance

The technical study on this dimension departs from the basic assumption that measurement data are only meaningful if they can be used as a basis for improving policy making and clinical decision making. Measurement information will only be of little value if it is not available in a format that meets the needs of many users and is not delivered in a timely manner. A good stunting information system ensures that all users have access to reliable, understandable and comparable data. Thus, the growth measurement functions for broader purposes; such as providing early warning, supporting service facility management, improving the quality of program planning and resource allocation, stimulating the emergence of new research, and encouraging evidence-based policies.

a. Data Generation: Availability and Quality

The measurement and publication of stunting numbers is a joint responsibility between the Regional Government and the Central Government. The District Health Office is responsible for collecting data at the individual level and at the health facility level data. The Health Research and Development Agency (Balitbangkes) and the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) are tasked with collecting data at the population level data and surveillance.

Anecdotal findings, confirmed through interviews with experts, indicate several problems in data quality. First, data is not

collected (completeness), for example, there are toddlers who are not brought to Posyandu and are not recorded in the monitoring system. Second, data is collected according to protocols that can change depending on who and when the data was collected (precision and reliability). Third, data is collected, but distortions occur in transmission (for example: measurement errors occur; data changes occur in the transfer of records in the Posyandu to Puskesmas reports and to the Health Office due to human error or data manipulation, etc.) so it does not reflect what actually happened (validity). Fourth, data is collected using more than one format that is not integrated and in systems with low interoperability. Fifth, data storage is carried out by individual managers with low coordination mechanisms between managers; and (6) timeliness is not reported.

b. Data integration for analysis and synthesis

Stunting information systems still have problems with system integration in both the health and non-health sectors. At the district / city Health Office level, there are at least 11 separate Puskesmas Information System reporting forms that track the scope of activities and programs related to stunting. This causes an overlap in data collection and processing which is still repeated by different units. Fragmented data because each program has a database that stands alone creates obstacles when users need composite information that must connect two or more databases. This condition also causes the ratio of administrative burden in health service facilities to be large which has an impact on the disruption of public service performance.

Page 85: IMPLEMENTATION OF TODDLERS’ HEIGHT ......Implementation of Toddlers’ Height Measurement Activities and Integrated Stunting Data Management in Indonesia Published in Indonesia 2019

99

CISDI

Each district / city also has its own Puskesmas Information System (SIMPUS) and e-Puskesmas which have not been integrated with the Regional Health Information System (SIKDA). Each of these information systems tends to collect as much and direct data as possible from the lowest level of health care facilities using their own programming languages. As a result, development efforts tend to create health information system silos and pay less attention to the sustainability of the system and the concept of system integration for efficiency.

The weak condition of the current health information system is inseparable from the weak role of Pusdatin in developing the recording and reporting system. In principle, the information system in the main unit must be able to communicate with integration applications in the Data and Information Center (data communication and data warehouse). However, each main unit in the Ministry of Health has varied application and recording support for managing data and information. In the era of one data, the challenge is on the ability of Pusdatin to integrate data from the main unit. In addition, mechanisms / procedures related to one-door information are not yet available. This is the cause of data duplication and is one of the factors in the difficulty of building health information systems in regions that are integrated with national health information systems.

The challenges to building cross-sectoral networks are enormous, even though the one data policy and the stunting data openness are very important for managing the main database. Perpres No. 39 of 2019 concerning Indonesian One Data provides a policy framework for standardization of data collection and

compilation of an integrated evidence-based policy. The existence of government policies in strengthening e-government will depend on the interoperability of all system components. The unavailability of standards and protocols in the implementation of information systems in each ministry / institution results in the unclear “rules of the game”. Accessing data and information from cross-units in the Ministry of Health and across sectors is still difficult.

d. Data Utilization

In addition to being weak in terms of program coverage, post-measurement follow up is often not available. Monitoring toddlers’ growth in Indonesia is carried out with little emphasis on the use of growth information obtained to educate the improvement of eating patterns and parenting. Anecdotal findings indicate that although part of the Puskesmas Program Holder’s time is spent gathering and reporting information, data is rarely used for policy improvement and implementation. Forums to share and discuss relevant data in each and between sectors are also not available at all levels. Regular forums are held only at the central level. Data analysis is not immediately carried out (or not even done), so if there is a case of stunting in the community it is not followed up immediately (early detection).

The communication methods used to communicate measurement results and interpretations related to nutrition are still limited. Health workers in the field have not been equipped with guidelines to encourage behavior change, especially in terms of following up on post-measurement.

Limited understanding of the importance of monitoring growth and development, also triggers the Mother and Child Health Book (MCH Handbook) in many cases is often not used optimally. Whereas the KIA Handbook can be a media or data reference and good progress for parents / caregivers to monitor their children’s health and development.

Unreliable integrated data of stunting results in a weak base for drafting regulations and integrated action plans. Integrated stunting data management is carried out throughout the fiscal year to support the overall budgeting process, as well as monitoring and evaluating the implementation of convergence actions to reduce stunting. Weak data management systems will lead to Integration Actions that require integrated data stunting, namely: action # 1 (Situation Analysis), action # 2 (Action Plan), action # 7 (Measurement and Publication of Stunting), and action # 8 related to Annual Performance Review does not have sufficient input.

(2) Data is collected according to protocols that can change depending on who and when the data is collected (precision and reliability);

(3) Data is collected, but there is a distortion in the transmission (for example, there is a change in data in the transfer of notes in the posyandu to the puskesmas report to the health department report) that it does not reflect what actually happened (validity);

(4) Data is collected using more than one format that has different elements, is not integrated and is stored by more than one system with low interoperability;

(5) Data storage is carried out by individual managers with very low coordination mechanisms between managers; and

(6) Data is not reported in time (timeliness)).

Availability of a database with high interoperability within the Ministry of Health.

Data within the Ministry of Health has limitations to be exchanged with each other (integrase and interoperability) because it is developed based on the logic and preferences of each developer.

• Strategic plans for the integration of national and regional health information systems

Communication support and data exchange systems between ministries and institutions are available.

The unavailability of standards and protocols in the administration of information systems in each ministry / institution results in ambiguity of “rules”

Designing a Repair Scenarios

Rationale for Scenario Design

After mapping the situation and measurement challenges and their relation to stunting data management, this section develops scenario planning. The scenarios are based on a literature review and a group discussion with expert speakers focusing on the issue of height measurement and integrated data management considering three dimensions, namely (1) regulatory, governance and financing frameworks, (2) implementation of measurements, (3) management of data. The scenario design is built based on the input received by the writers from a literature review, interview, and consultation of expert sources using the Delphi method.

Current Condition

Based on the analysis taken from the synthesis in Table 7, the number and types of regulatory frameworks currently available are considered sufficient at each level of government. However, gaps in the level of implementation and harmonization of central and regional policies remain the biggest challenges. Unclear coordination functions can also cause miscoordination that causes confusion in the implementation in the field. The absence of a regulatory framework involving cross-sectoral stakeholders will be a problem in involving more parties in the acceleration and sustainability strategies of reducing stunting.

With the large amount of financial resources flowing into the stunting program, the pressure to increase

the efficiency and effectiveness of the use of funds also increased. At the central level, there is a budget tagging and tracking system that is used to evaluate the use of funds. Unfortunately, this system cannot be used until at the village level which also has a special allocation for stunting from village funds. With less bias the effectiveness of the use of funds and performance can account for opening gaps in corruption and misuse of funds.

Table 8 shows regulations that are still inconsistent in a number of ways such as standards, definitions and governance. This triggers confusion on the ground and results in the inaccurate measurements - a serious gap because it can lead to missed detection of cases of stunting and other malnutrition that can actually be prevented or avoided. The challenges of limited capacity of measuring staff and the availability of logistics and information systems that have not been qualified also complicate the problem of measurement and recording in the field. Inaccurate measurement process will produce data not in good quality.

Data management conditions shown in Table 9 show that the data produced does not meet aspects of completeness, precision and reliability, validity, interoperability, cooperabiity and timeliness. Inadequate data results in a weak base for drafting regulations and integrated action plans to reduce stunting. This also has an impact on the inefficiency of the use of funds and the ineffectiveness of the program being implemented which will become a cycle that will not ultimately make much change. The efforts made will be difficult to make a significant impact. The World Bank estimates that the current effort may only reduce about 1% of stunting prevalence annually.

CISDI

Ideal Condition

Based on the mapping of the current situation, synthesis of the problem, as well as input from expert speakers, scenarios with ideal conditions depend on the existence of the following elements:

1. The existence of a strategic policy that is right on target based on the needs, data, and available evidence to minimize implementation gaps.

2. There is a clear function and flow of coordination, where there is a main coordinator with a governance structure that can be quite simple and effective to ensure good coordination and communication flow across ministries / institutions.

3. The existence of a clear division of roles and functions between K / L and other relevant stakeholders also becomes an important force. It must also be complemented by a comprehensive regulatory framework regarding the involvement of stakeholders outside government which will ultimately encourage more actors, especially civil society groups, young people, and the media to be involved in accelerating the reduction of stunting from various lines.

4. The existence of an accountability mechanism for the use of funds to the lowest level, such as budget tagging and tracking to the village level, is important to ensure good governance, as well as efforts made to achieve the expected targets. If these conditions are realized, then cross-ministerial coordination and convergence will go well, where accountability and transparency of the use of funds can also be accounted for.

Good governance will encourage the development of process improvements in the field. Harmonization and consistency of regulations will make it easier for officers in the field to have the same understanding and improve measurement accuracy. The availability of tools, logistics, and qualified measuring staff will encourage periodic height measurements that are in

accordance with standards and procedures. Aside from being equipped with measurement capabilities, the posyandu cadre is expected to also have the ability to interpret data, conduct counseling, and nutrition education based on behavior change.

If the ideal conditions are met, then the data can be recorded and reported properly from the posyandu level to the highest level. The mother group is well educated and informed about their health and their children well so that cases of stunting and other malnutrition can be detected early and empowered to understand and take steps to be taken. A good measurement process will also have an impact on the production of more reliable and quality data.

The availability of accurate and up-to-date quality data based on the needs of the main unit, both in the form of individual data to the level of health facilities and population, can encourage evidence-based policies and programs that are more effective and targeted. Program coverage and beneficiaries also increased from the efficiency and effectiveness of the use of funds. Having quality data must be supported by an integrated information system across programs and even across ministries to facilitate data access and integration in decision making and policy making.

Strengthening the role of the Ministry of Health Pusdatin as a reference for the management and use of dashboard stunting and improving the function of the Central Statistics Agency as the main reference for development statistics is needed. The strengthening of these two institutions will reduce the cross-confusion that has occurred in the formulation of policies, program implementation, and execution of activities that result in inefficiencies. The work of sharing data (data sharing) for the internal interests of institutions / ministries or between organizations is needed to make data as the backbone of open government. Anyone who needs can take advantage of data that is readily available and can be accessed easily. In the end, all elements of this improvement increase the credibility of the government through appropriate development policies. Such policies

must be based on evidence and data, not merely political considerations, let alone the mere intuition of policy makers.

Recommendation

Recommendations are proposed to guide the stakeholders to decide on the steps to be taken immediately in the domain of their respective tasks and tasks, as well as in collaboration between sectors. In this section, it is mapped the needs and priorities of the government in the future.

1. Recommendations for Strengthening the Regulatory, Governance and Financing Framework

The following recommendations are addressed to Ministries / Institutions with coordination functions (Setwapres / Bappenas / Kemenko PMK)

• Design a regulatory framework based on needs assessments and gaps in the field that involve various stakeholder elements

• The establishment of a governance structure that is quite simple, effective and agreed upon by all parties is complemented by a clear division of roles and functions of coordination

• Encouraging the immediate enactment of the regulatory framework that forms the umbrella of the stranas stunting, one of which includes a meaningful involvement of multi-sector stakeholders and their roles and functions clearly

• Increasing the efficiency and effectiveness of stunting program funding through the budget tagging and tracking mechanism to the village level

• Encourage local government performance evaluation mechanisms

2. Recommendations for Improvement of Implementation of Height Measurement

This recommendation is intended for Ministries / Institutions with a coordination function and a technical implementation function (Ministry of Health and Bappenas)

• Harmonization of standards, governance and operational definitions

• In conditions that are not ideal where there are no trained health workers available, it is important to increase the capacity of posyandu cadres regarding height measurements and the ability to counsel and interpret data.

• Incorporate components and conduct behavioral change communication training in growth service packages

• Internet-based remote health workforce training (e-learning) on monitoring growth and communicating behavioral changes to puskesmas

• Design a regulatory framework stating that trained cadres are allowed to measure height in conditions where health workers are not available

• Increase the availability of nutrition workers in each Puskesmas

• Procurement of measurement and reporting logistics according to the standards required at Posyandu Integration of various toddler height measurement services from posyandu to district / city level

• Increased coverage and quality of PIS PK to ensure and educate every family that has a toddler to go to the posyandu.

Page 91: IMPLEMENTATION OF TODDLERS’ HEIGHT ......Implementation of Toddlers’ Height Measurement Activities and Integrated Stunting Data Management in Indonesia Published in Indonesia 2019

105

CISDI

• Increased coverage and quality of PIS PK to ensure and educate every family that has a toddler to go to the posyandu.

In conditions where health workers are not available, the puskesmas must validate the measurement results by the cadre and ensure that the referral system from the posyandu to the nearest health service runs according to the procedure, i.e.:

• Cadres only monitor toddlers body weight every month and refer toddlers to health workers at the puskesmas if indicated to have nutritional problems or fixed weight, or do not increase after two consecutive measurements.

Recommendations for stunting data management

Specifically, the team underscored the importance of the realization of big data stunting being produced, managed and stored by the Government for use by any organization, including within the government itself. This is in line with the one data policy (Perpres No. 39 of 2019) which has a number of important objectives, including structuring regulations and institutionalizing data management, and integrating data of Ministries / Institutions, local governments and state institutions into one data portal resulting in an open data set.

To ensure that the direction of policies issued by the government, programs and development activities based on shared data that can be accounted for, the writing team formulates specific recommendations for K / L with monitoring and evaluation functions (Pusdatin Ministry of Health, BPS, TNP2K and the Ministry of Villages)

• Increase the capacity of posyandu cadres and puskesmas nutrition officers to record and report, as well as to utilize data

• Simplified posyandu information system and integration of KPM score cards to Posyandu information systems as well as ePPGBM

• Increase coverage of the use of e-PPGBM accompanied by an increase in the capacity of officers related to surveillance - the process of collecting - analyzing - action based on analysis, by also considering regional limitations in infrastructure and human resources capacity. The implementation of SSGBI by BPS and Litbangkes is done routinely annually to know the updated prevalence of stunting toddlers

• Integration of prevalence data and programs related to stunting prevention in the Mhealth platform developed by the Ministry of Health Pusdatin

• Add a National Health Information System Roadmap related to the inclusion of clarity of roles among stakeholders and the development of national and regional SIK integration plans

• Strengthening the National Health Information System through the use of appropriate technology and improving system interoperability

• Develop guidelines for implementing e-government for nutrition issues in Indonesia

• Incorporate a nutrition agenda, especially stunting, into the village planning agenda, such as through the Village Community Conference (MMD), to communicate and discuss data at the community level

• Involving civil society organizations and individuals to carry out social monitoring

However, given the handling of stunting requires a national orchestration involving stakeholders outside the government; the role of civil society, the private sector, academia and the media to ensure broad public engagement is urgently needed. In this study, the writing team has mapped out the actions

Page 92: IMPLEMENTATION OF TODDLERS’ HEIGHT ......Implementation of Toddlers’ Height Measurement Activities and Integrated Stunting Data Management in Indonesia Published in Indonesia 2019

106

Chapter 5

expected of each stakeholder group in the complete document to develop and carry out various actions to reduce national stunting rates. In this brief document, the writing team attempts to describe the role of actors in general, as follows:

• CivilsThe spread of civil society groups, including youth groups, to the village level is an advantage for them to be an extension of the government, especially in terms of bridging access and monitoring targets that are not affordable by the Government. In addition, they can also oversee the process and provide technical assistance through the studies needed to inform policy making and encourage the involvement of vulnerable and marginalized groups in the process. Civil society groups also have the flexibility to innovate.

• AcademicsAcademics are encouraged to be involved in the process of study and regulation design by providing input and other technical assistance needed through studies and research.

In accordance with the tri darma of higher education, academics are also expected to be able to fill the implementation gap through community service activities at the village level.

• Profession OrganizationsProfessional organizations are expected to be able to ensure that health care providers under the professional association can carry out health services, ranging from height / body length measurements as well as counseling and other follow-up, according to standards and procedures established. OP is expected to play an active role in maintaining the quality of services, by being involved in quality assurance and supervision. The Ministry of Health, the private sector and other actors need to work closely with the OP and HCP in setting standards for height and weight measurements, including monitoring programs.

• Private SectorsThe private sector is an important actor in development. The private sector can help in the form of cash assistance, technical assistance, supply assistance to fill gaps that cannot be resolved by the government and community organizations.

Besides helping to mobilize resources, with its great potential, the private sector can also support the government through innovative approaches and with advanced technology and research.

• MediaThe role of the media is no less important to be involved, the media can conduct oversight of the government through critical reporting and voice honest findings on the ground. In addition, the media can socialize and help educate the public about stunting and its impact on health.

Appendix 3. Focus Group Discussion: Protocols and Instruments

Terms of Reference for Focus Group Discussions on Toddler Body Height Monitoring and Its Relationship with Integrated Stunting Data

Management in Indonesia

Background

At present, the prevalence of stunting and malnutrition in Indonesia is at a critical level. According to the 2018 Basic Health Research (RISKESDAS), 30.8 percent of Indonesian children under 5 years old (around 7.3 million children) experienced stunting, 10.2 percent underweight, 13.8 percent experienced wasting (low body weight and height), and 11.9 percent overweight or obese.

The government gives a very big focus on reducing the prevalence of stunting and malnutrition. This can be seen from the National Medium-Term Development Plan (RPJMN) 2020-2024, the National Strategy for accelerating stunting reduction in 2018-2024, the National Food and Nutrition Action Plan to innovations in existing programs and services such as the optimization of Integrated Service Posts (Posyandu ), Human Development Cadres with growth mat, and Nutrition Information System (Integrated Nutrition) which includes e-PPGBM and PMT distribution consumption.

Nevertheless, challenges in the form of data utilization that have not been integrated, inequality of access and facilities and data validity in the field are issues that need to be answered. As a first step in this study, CISDI has conducted a literature study and interview with 27 stakeholders across ministries, professional organizations and local governments to further understand the policy direction of the national nutrition program coordinator, implementation by technical ministries and directly study conditions in the field.

Preliminary results of the study show the following findings:1. The current policy framework needs to be improved to address the needs that exist in the field, such

as the division of coordinating roles among the ministries / institutions involved so as not to overlap. In addition, there is no policy framework that regulates the involvement of key actors from various sectors outside the ministry / agency.

2. There are technical challenges in ensuring the implementation and quality of height calculation; related to technical guidelines and standardization of height calculation, availability of infrastructure and resources, and implementation of monitoring and promotion of growth and development. These include differences in operational definitions for interpretation of height calculation results, poor application of behavioral change communication, limitations of adequate measurement and HR tools and weak data integration with available monitoring systems.

3. The low quality of data and the scope of stunting means that the available data cannot be optimized as a basis for policy making.

The initial results of this study can be studied in the attached document and will be explained further in a focus group discussion which also presents 25 expert invitations representing 15 government institutions, professional organizations, and international organizations. Through this discussion, CISDI hopes to gain deeper input related to interim findings and recommendations as a contribution in optimizing an integrated stunting data system to monitor the development of toddlers in Indonesia.
