Admin KMPS — Thu, 12 Mar 2026 02:46:16 +0000

Jakarta, 4 -6 March 2026

SEAMEO RECFON held the Partnership Planning, Monitoring, and Evaluation Workshop from 4–6 March 2026 at The Hermitage, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel, Jakarta, as part of its efforts to strengthen coordination and program implementation with its partners. The workshop was attended by 64 participants, with 42 joining in person and 22 participating online. Participants represented partner institutions including Polkespon, Poltekkes Kemenkes Semarang, Poltekkes Kemenkes Pangkal Pinang, Universitas Mataram, PRTABN BRIN, Poltekkes Tasikmalaya, and Universitas Indonesia, as well as local government representatives from Sambas, Brebes, Bangka, Lombok Timur, and Tanjung Jabung Timur. The event was also attended by representatives from the Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education of the Republic of Indonesia and SEAMEO RECFON’s internal team.

The workshop created a space for joint discussion to review the implementation of existing partnerships and to develop plans for future collaboration. In addition, it included discussions on the draft cooperation agreement, the development of a collaborative roadmap, and the strengthening of monitoring and evaluation mechanisms to ensure that program implementation remains focused and sustainable.

Commitment Reinforcement and Partnership Evaluation

The session began with a joint discussion focusing on reviewing program achievements and evaluating the results of the collaboration with partners. Through the Sharing Best Practices agenda, the two-party and three-party partners presented their various program implementation achievements, including training for early childhood education (PAUD) teachers and health personnel, the implementation of Training of Trainers (ToT), nutritional interventions in educational units and Islamic boarding schools, as well as strengthening the child growth and health monitoring system in the region.

Discussions then led to a more in-depth discussion about various challenges in partnership management. A number of issues were discussed, including high personnel turnover, budget constraints as a result of efficiency policies, coordination across regional departments, and the need for a more integrated monitoring and reporting system. Furthermore, the sustainability of the program following the expiration of the cooperation agreement also became a concern, particularly in terms of the involvement of the partnership unit in the implementation and evaluation of the program on a regular basis.

Partnership Is More Than Just Results, It’s Collaboration

During the session on the 4C Framework – 4 Pillars of Trust, speaker Ageng Kirdjo Putro, S.Si., MSBA emphasized that the success of a partnership is not only measured by program achievements, but also by the quality of trust built between the parties involved. The trust between the partners was built on a shared vision, consistent commitment, clear two-way communication, and synergies between the expertise of various sectors. The partnership was seen as a dynamic and evolving process through various stages, with each challenge becoming an important part of strengthening the shared commitment.

The discussion became a forum to exchange experiences among partners in implementing programs in the regions. The partners considered that collaboration with SEAMEO RECFON had contributed to capacity building, clear work direction, and more structured technical assistance. In addition, the participants also provided various inputs to strengthen the monitoring mechanism, improve alignment between regional program targets and SEAMEO RECFON’s work plan, and develop a more systematic and sustainable partnership evaluation method.

Strengthening Policy Synergy and Developing a Collaboration Framework

The discussion then moved on to strengthening policy alignment and developing systematic cooperation mechanisms. This session began with a presentation from the Cooperation Bureau of the Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education (Kemendikdasmen) delivered by Lukmanul Hakim, S.S., M.Hum., M.Ed., which discussed the principles, procedures, and strategic aspects of managing cooperation between institutions.

During his presentation, Lukmanul Hakim emphasized the importance of clarity regarding the roles and responsibilities of each party in the cooperation agreement document. He also explained that the drafting of cooperation documents needs to take into account compliance with applicable regulations, national policy directions, and program requirements at the regional level.

Working Group Workshop: Reviewing Cooperation Documents and Developing a Collaboration Roadmap

Following the presentation session, the event continued with group workshops that brought together partner representatives and the SEAMEO RECFON team for more in-depth discussions. In each group, participants collectively reviewed the draft of the new cooperation agreement and the extension of the existing cooperation agreement that had been prepared previously. The discussions focused on various important aspects, including the scope of activities, the role distribution among institutions, and the coordination mechanisms for program implementation.

The workshop continued with the development of a framework of collaboration. During this session, participants and the SEAMEO RECFON team identified plans for activities to be carried out during the cooperation period. Discussions also covered steps for preparing programs for the current year, so that the direction of collaboration could be designed in a more planned manner and in line with program needs in the region.

Presentation on the Results of the Discussion and Refinement of the Collaboration Plan

The day concluded with each group presenting the results of their discussions on the draft cooperation agreement and the collaboration roadmap. This session provided an opportunity to gather input and perspectives from a number of parties, including the Cooperation Planning Bureau (PKS) and the Legal Bureau of the Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education, as well as SEAMEO RECFON members.

Throughout the series of workshops and presentation sessions, participants successfully formulated a draft cooperation agreement and a roadmap for collaboration, which had undergone a joint review process. The various inputs obtained in this session are expected to further improve the document. This discussion also formed the basis for partners to continue the document revision process and strengthen the collaboration framework that will support a more focused and sustainable program implementation.

Planning, Coordination, Monitoring, and Evaluation of Partnerships

During the final session of the workshop, discussions focused on planning the coordination of monitoring and evaluation for the implementation of the collaboration. This session was designed to ensure that every collaboration plan that had been developed could be implemented effectively and monitored regularly with partners.

Participants were divided into two discussion groups: the partnership team and the activity implementation team. Each group discussed coordination mechanisms, communication flows, and role distribution in program monitoring and evaluation. Participants also emphasized the importance of maintaining alignment between the designed collaboration roadmap and program monitoring mechanisms in the field.

Celebrating the 66ᵗʰ National Nutrition Day and 15 Years of SEAMEO RECFON: From Celebration to Concrete Action for Jakarta’s Early Childhood Health

Admin KMPS — Thu, 26 Feb 2026 06:46:46 +0000

The 66ᵗʰ National Nutrition Day (HGN) in January 2026 holds special significance as it coincides with the 15ᵗʰ anniversary of SEAMEO RECFON as the Regional Centre for Food and Nutrition. Beyond celebration, this momentum reaffirms our commitment to transforming nutrition discourse into concrete action.

In collaboration with the Jakarta Provincial Health Office, SEAMEO RECFON organized a series of activities to strengthen the management of early childhood with nutritional problems. This initiative involved all levels of management from Community Health Centers (Puskesmas), Regional Public Hospitals (RSUD), and sub-district offices in five administrative cities and Kepulauan Seribu. Under the Early Childhood Care, Nutrition, and Education (ECCNE) program, the activities aimed to reinforce service systems and define targeted actions for the year ahead.

Nutritional Challenges for Early Childhood in DKI Jakarta

In Jakarta, nutritional issues such as stunting, malnutrition, and severe wasting are widespread. Medical intervention alone is insufficient; numerous factors play a role, including health workers’ understanding of management standards, the efficiency of referral systems, the availability of supporting facilities, and coordination between health facilities.

Various interventions have been carried out to address malnourished early childhood. However, challenges still arise in terms of compliance with management standards, which are not yet fully uniform. Internally, differences in understanding technical guidelines, variations in human resource capacity, and suboptimal referral, recording, and nutrition education systems are areas that need to be strengthened. Therefore, the approach taken in this series of activities emphasises not only improving individual capacity, but also strengthening systems, governance, and cross-management teamwork.

Technical Refresher Course on Management of Early Childhood with Nutritional Problems

The series of activities began on 27 January 2026 with a Provincial Pre-Workshop held online, attended by nearly 200 participants. This stage aimed to align all participants’ understanding of the standards for managing malnutrition and undernutrition in early childhood. The material presented covered the latest policies and technical guidelines, as well as a preventive approach through the Local Food-Based Recommendation (PGSPL). The emphasis on preventive aspects is important so that efforts are not only curative but also preventive and rehabilitative. The discussions covered not only theory but also real experiences in the field. Participants were invited to review the practices that had been implemented so far and identify the obstacles that still needed to be overcome. This stage served as a foundation before moving on to more in-depth discussions.

Building Shared Values and Commitment

The next stage is the Shared Value Workshop, which was held offline on 1 February 2026 in the Provincial Health Office of DKI Jakarta. Through the shared values approach, participants are encouraged to align their perceptions and strengthen their sense of ownership of the nutrition service system. This approach emphasises that the success of early childhood care is not the responsibility of a single profession or facility, but rather the result of collective effort. Good coordination, open communication, and leadership support are key to ensuring that service standards are properly implemented. Through group discussions and exploration of perspectives, participants realise that systemic change requires collective commitment. Without support and cross-sector cooperation, improvements are difficult to implement consistently.

Analysing Problems, Developing Solutions

The core stage of the activity took place from 2 to 5 February 2026 through a series of workshops at the city/district level. Each administrative city had the opportunity to discuss the conditions and challenges they faced in a more contextual manner. The Ishikawa Fishbone Analysis method is used to help participants identify the root causes of three major nutritional problems, namely stunting, other nutritional problems in early childhood, and nutrition education in the community. The analysis was conducted from various aspects, including human resources, procedures and SOPs, recording and reporting systems, supporting facilities, management, and environmental factors. This approach helped participants see the problem holistically, not just the symptoms on the surface. For example, if there were obstacles in the referral process, the analysis was followed by questions on the clarity of the referral flow, the understanding of the officers, and the monitoring mechanism.

From the results of this identification, participants developed problem-solving strategies and translated them into follow-up action plans (RTL). These RTLs contained concrete steps that were realistic, measurable, and implementable in the context of each health centre, hospital, and city sub-department (Suku Dinas Kesehatan Kota). With this participatory approach, participants were not only recipients of information, but also designers of strategies for problem improvement.

Workshop implementation in each city/district

Collaboration as a Strength

One of the important values of this series of activities is the involvement of various levels of health service management. The presence of leadership ensures that the results of discussions do not stop at technical recommendations, but have structural support for implementation. Coordination between primary and referral services is one of the main focuses. An interconnected system, optimal use of data, and regular monitoring are important parts of strengthening governance. Synergy between health facilities and local governments, as well as SEAMEO RECFON, is expected to create a more responsive and consistent system for handling cases of early childhood malnutrition.

The Celebration that Marked the Beginning

The closing ceremony on 6 February 2026 featured the presentation of consolidated Follow-up Action Plans from all administrative cities, marking a transition from reflection to concrete commitment. The 66ᵗʰ HGN and SEAMEO RECFON’s 15ᵗʰ anniversary became not only a commemoration, but a starting point for strengthened action.

The agreed commitments will be implemented throughout 2026, with regular monitoring and evaluation to ensure accountability and measurable improvements in service quality. This process reinforces a culture of shared learning and continuous improvement.

Ultimately, these efforts aim to ensure that every child receives optimal nutrition services. As early childhood nutrition forms the foundation of human development, strengthening service systems today will shape the quality of future generations. The momentum of this dual celebration reaffirms a clear commitment: 2026 is a year of implementation where plans translate into action, and impact is systematically measured for healthier, stronger children in Jakarta.

SEAMEO RECFON AND UNIVERSITY OF JAMBI (UNJA) SUPPORT POST-DISASTER COMMUNITY NUTRITIONAL RECOVERY IN NAGARI MUARO PINGAI, SOLOK

Admin KMPS — Thu, 26 Feb 2026 06:36:41 +0000

SEAMEO RECFON collaborated with UNJA in the 2026 Impactful Student Program Mentorship to support post-disaster community nutritional recovery in Nagari Muaro Pingai, Solok Regency, West Sumatra, on 4–5 February 2026. This collaboration focused on strengthening student capacity to design and implement local food-based nutritional interventions for vulnerable groups, specifically early childhood and pregnant women, in both normal and emergency situations.

Under the coordination of the Center for Disaster Management and Health Crisis within UNJA’s Institute for Research and Community Service (LPPM), the mentorship involved a dedicated team of five faculty members, including four experts from the Department of Nursing and one from the Department of Nutrition. These mentors guided approximately 15 selected students in strengthening their capacity to design and implement localized food-based nutritional interventions.

The hydrometeorological disasters that struck the region not only caused environmental damage but also disrupted food security and public health services access, thereby increasing the risk of nutritional issues among vulnerable groups. In response to these conditions, SEAMEO RECFON and the UNJA, through the 2026 Impactful Student Program (Program Mahasiswa Berdampak), collaborated to enhance student capacity in anthropometric measurement, nutrition and hygiene education, also the design of community-based nutrition intervention. This program also developed the ‘Dapur Sehat Posyandu’ model as an effort to revive nutrition and strengthen family food security in disaster-affected locations.

In this collaboration, SEAMEO RECFON serves as a strategic partner for UNJA in supporting the implementation of the 2026 Impactful Student Program (Program Mahasiswa Berdampak). SEAMEO RECFON representatives, Aziz Jati Nur Ananda, M.Gizi and Rizqiyah, M.Sc., shared their knowledge as speakers in nutrition education sessions while assisting students in preparing Action Plans (RTL). The series of activities was designed to equip students with practical skills. These included training in anthropometric measurements, as well as nutrition and hygiene education in normal and disaster situations. In addition, students learnt how to conduct surveys and analyse the impact of disasters on early childhood malnutrition.They also assisted in the development of the ‘Dapur Sehat Posyandu’ (Posyandu Healthy Kitchen) model with the local community.

This activity forms part of the Early Childhood Care and Education (ECCNE) initiative, while supporting the implementation of the Fourth Five-Year Development Plan (4th FYDP) with a focus on Emergency Nutrition. Academic collaboration is a part of a strategy to enhance regional capacity for post-disaster nutrition response. The objectives of the project include the enhancement of students’ proficiency in nutritional status screening and the effective utilisation of “Local Food-Based Balanced Nutrition Guidelines” (PGS-PL), developed by SEAMEO RECFON within Posyandu. Furthermore, the program aims to establish a community-based ‘Dapur Sehat Posyandu’ (Posyandu Healthy Kitchen) model and develop technical modules on safe and nutritious feeding for early childhood and pregnant women to serve as a reference for relevant stakeholders.

As a regional centre for food and nutrition, SEAMEO RECFON reaffirms its commitment to strengthening community-based nutritional interventions. The approach developed through this program is expected to be replicated in other disaster-affected regions, contributing to the enhancement of post-disaster community nutritional resilience.
