Children today are Indonesia's young generation in 2045, precisely when Indonesia celebrates its 100th anniversary. These children are also the future leaders of the nation.

However, many children and infants under five years old (toddlers) in Indonesia experience nutritional problems or malnutrition at a young age and suffer from stunting, which can hinder their development in the future.

Based on the results of the Indonesian Nutrition Status Study (SSGI) by the Ministry of Health, the prevalence of stunting among Indonesian toddlers reached 24.4% in 2021. This means that almost 1 in 4 toddlers experiences stunting. Therefore, Indonesia's stunting prevalence falls into the moderate category according to World Health Organization (WHO) standards.

Stunting Prevalence Categories According to WHO:

* Stunting Prevalence >= 40% = Very High
* Stunting Prevalence 30-39% = High
* Stunting Prevalence 20-29% = Moderate
* Stunting Prevalence < 20% = Low

In several provinces, the prevalence of stunting among toddlers is still above 30%, as shown in the graph where the darkest areas on the map represent these provinces.

These provinces are East Nusa Tenggara (NTT) with a stunting prevalence of 37.8%, West Sulawesi at 33.8%, Aceh at 33.2%, West Nusa Tenggara (NTB) at 31.4%, Southeast Sulawesi at 30.2%, and South Kalimantan at 30%.

Meanwhile, the prevalence in Bali, Jakarta, and Yogyakarta is recorded as the lowest. This is evident from the lightest areas on the map compared to other provinces.

The prevalence of stunting among Indonesian toddlers continues to show a downward trend. In 2018, the prevalence of stunting among toddlers was still 30.8%. Then, it decreased to 27.7% in 2019 and further decreased to 24.4% in the 2024 SSGI. The government even aims to reduce it to 14% by the end of 2024.
