Research summary | The project aims to improve child nutrition in Indonesia, particularly in rural and remote areas such as Banyuwangi and Central Maluku Districts. It involves implementing a real-time data system and empowering local Female Health Cadres to contribute to evidence-based village planning and decision-making. By doing so, the project ensures better nutrition interventions tailored to community needs. This project fosters partnerships between Indonesian academics, government bodies, and the University of Sydney, creating knowledge exchange and capacity-building opportunities. Harnessing expertise from both countries and engaging local stakeholders, the project promotes sustainable solutions to improve child health outcomes and strengthens future collaborative research. |
