Abstract


Stunting is a globally significant child nutrition problem, with approximately 161 million children under five affected, half of whom are in Asia. Indonesia ranks 4th in the world for stunting cases. Posyandu has an important role in addressing this problem. This study aims to identify specific needs and design a suitable training model to improve the role and effectiveness of Posyandu Kemuning VIII in Cilegon City. This research used a descriptive qualitative method with data collection through observation, interviews, and literature study. The results of the analysis showed several main problems, namely quality stagnation, crisis and performance decline, limited facilities and infrastructure, low community participation and awareness, and limited training and community education. The proposed solutions include posyandu cadre training, posyandu management and administration training, and health promotion and community empowerment training. This training model is expected to improve the knowledge, skills, and effectiveness of cadres in running health programs at Posyandu Kemuning VIII.
