Characteristic Community Empowerment Transformation to Prevent Stunting
Stunting is a crucial health problem in Indonesia, especially in children under five years. This condition is influenced by various factors, including nutrition, economics, environment and health. Empowering communities with character is an effective strategy in preventing stunting, by actively involving the community in decision making and program implementation. This article discusses the transformation of community empowerment with character to prevent stunting through a participatory approach, capacity building and culture-based interventions. The research results show that community-based empowerment programs can increase knowledge and good nutritional behavior, support healthy parenting patterns, and improve sanitation and access to clean water, which are very important in preventing stunting. With this transformation, it is hoped that society will have greater ability to maintain the health and welfare of their children
