The Ministry of Health (MoH) has a supplementary feeding program (SFP) for malnourished children under five.

This is because, based on weight-for-height index (WHZ) measurements, nationally there are still 0.40% children under five with severe malnutrition and 4.10% children under five with moderate malnutrition.

Regarding the SFP for malnourished children under five, the national coverage in 2024 reached 71.29%.

According to the MoH, this achievement indicates that most identified malnourished children under five have received SFP intervention, although it has not been evenly distributed across all regions.

By province, Highland Papua recorded the highest SFP coverage for malnourished children under five, reaching 100%.

This achievement contrasts with South Papua, which is the province with the lowest coverage, at only 18.70%.

The following are the 10 provinces with the lowest coverage of malnourished children under five receiving supplementary food in 2024:

1. South Papua: 18.70%

2. West Sulawesi: 33.02%

3. East Nusa Tenggara: 41.89%

4. Papua: 50.29%

5. West Nusa Tenggara: 51.75%

6. West Papua: 60.95%

7. Maluku: 66.89%

8. North Kalimantan: 67.25%

9. West Java: 67.37%

10. Aceh: 67.79%.

Regarding this disparity, the MoH stated that special efforts are needed to address it so that all malnourished children under five in Indonesia receive equitable and effective interventions to support their growth and development.
