Highlights

The Indonesian National Strategy to Accelerate Stunting Prevention aims to accelerate the reduction of child stunting to 14% by 2024 and improve the nutrition status of children and women across Indonesia.

The primary purpose of this formative evaluation is: 1) to assess the performance of the National Strategy to Accelerate Stunting Prevention at both the national and sub-national levels; and 2) to generate evidence and learning to guide future programming. This evaluation analyzes the appropriateness of the programme design, its relevance, coherence, effectiveness, efficiency, sustainability and the integration of cross-cutting issues such as gender, equity and human rights. The evaluation also identifies lessons learned and provides recommendations for the next phase of the National Strategy to Accelerate Stunting Prevention.

The conclusions of this evaluation are based on a review of relevant documentation, consultations with key stakeholders, key informant interviews (KIIs) and focus group discussions (FDGs), all of which reached more than 967 individuals. The evaluation covered the programme’s four-year implementation period, from November 2018 to April 2023.
