5 About GNP in the First Phase and Nutrition Outcomes To tackle widespread malnutrition in Indonesia, especially of stunting and mineral and vitamin deficiencies, Swisscontact, with support from Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands (EKN), added a training component in Good Nutritional Practices (GNP) to SCPP SCPP aligned the GNP interventions with numerous private sector companies and governmental bodies The training provides an overview of balanced diet, nutritious foods, horticultural training for vegetable gardening, fish ponds management and important nutritional issues As per today 47,298 cocoa farmer household members were trained (74.5% women) in GNP In total, 330 master trainers, including 195 from the Government health services were trained in GNP Altogether, 378,344 square meters (55 soccer fields) of vegetable demonstration gardens were established (average of 8 m2 per GNP trained household) 5

6 IDDS Questionnaire and Total Scores per Category 50,000 IDDS Categories (within 9 Nutrition Groups) 45,000 40,000 35,000 30,000 25,000 20,000 15,000 10,000 5,

7 Findings of Impact Survey and Lessons Learned IDDS at the baseline (4.8), while IDDS at the post-line (5.18) out of potential 9 points which is an 8% increase over at least two years Notable increases in the consumption of category green leafy vegetables; vitamin A-rich fruits and vegetables; eggs; and legumes, nuts and seeds 47% of the farmers grow a higher number of vegetable species after participating in GNP trainings The program should provide more training sessions and ensure continuous capacity building of Posyandu and key farmers, because the human behavior change related to the food habits needs long-term approach To sustainably improve the diet, GNP should strengthen its intervention by: distribution of reading materials with key nutrition messages train farmers in vegetable seed production increasing knowledge on nutrition in vulnerable periods (foremost 1,000-days window opportunity) raising awareness about importance of nutrients-rich indigenous food plants diversifying not only vegetables in home gardens but also fruit and legume trees in the cocoa farms ensuring increased consumption of protein (legumes, fish or chicken) for the most vulnerable and poor communities 7

8 Upgraded GNP Approach and Training Manual Inclusion of training and development of small-scale fish ponds for the most marginalized communities deficient in protein Empowering farmers by scaling up know-how on vegetable seed production Nutrition-sensitive agriculture: crop diversification strategies in home gardens, fruit and edible legume trees in cocoa farms Culturally-sensitive and sustainable intervention: mainstreaming consumption of nutrient-dense, yet, often underutilized local crops and wild vegetables Strengthening focus on women custodians of vegetable gardens and household food habits Special reference to promoting and monitoring of breastfeeding, increasing women dietary diversity and improving child feeding practices Local trainers will select and adjust nutrition topics and recommendations to reflect the local context, preferences and needs 8

9 Potential of Large-Scale Nutrition Data SCPP has collected significant amount of data about foods consumed, breastfeeding patterns, and vegetable/fruit species cultivated over large areas The dataset represents a valuable information about food behavior change and impact of the large nutrition-sensitive project Analysis and accessibility of the data reveals crop and dietary diversity-poor regions, which may have valuable implications for the project implementation, policy, scientific/development community and at the end for communities itself The preliminary analysis has already determined provinces with the lowest and highest dietary diversity and areas with under-consumed food categories The statistical analysis provided evidence that the farmers having vegetable garden, or farmers that are economically better off, have more diverse diet Further analysis of dietary diversity in all GNP regions is being carried out 9
