JAYAPURA - Acting Governor of Papua, Muhammad Ridwan Rumasukun, opened an orientation activity for stunting prevention and control by cadres of Integrated Service Post at the Papua Provincial level in 2023, in Jayapura City, Tuesday (11/14/2023).
The activity was held by the Family Welfare Empowerment Driving Team of Papua Province, attended by cadres of Integrated Service Post and Family Welfare Empowerment Driving Team of eight regencies/cities.
Governor Ridwan in his speech asked for the stunting prevention agenda promoted by Family Welfare Empowerment Driving Team of Papua, followed up with an activity program in synergy with the district / city government, to be carried out in stages from districts, villages, to Dasawisma groups.
"That way, the community can feel the government's program in poverty alleviation to prepare a healthy, intelligent, independent, prosperous and just generation of Papuans, in welcoming the upcoming golden year of 2045."
"Hopefully the 2023 provincial stunting prevention orientation carried out by cadres of Integrated Service Post through this Dasawisma will provide the same understanding in stunting prevention and control in Papua," hoped Ridwan.
The Head of Family Welfare Empowerment Driving Team of Papua, Linda Onibala, ensured that she was ready to carry out the instructions of the Acting Governor of Papua, continuing the stunting prevention program in stages to the villages.
"After I was inaugurated, I went down with the governor to eight regencies and cities. We even visited the Integrated Service Post and talked directly with the cadres."
"We also provide stunting prevention assistance and tools to support the work of Integrated Service Post. We will not stop here but we will continue to work until the stunting rate is zero," explained Linda.
Meanwhile, through the stunting prevention and control orientation activity, Linda wants the insight of cadres of Integrated Service Post in all regencies and cities to be more qualified in dealing with stunting, so that Papua will contribute to the golden generation in 2024.
