By 2024, all provinces of Indonesia have developed and implemented the subnational-level food and nutrition action plan

The government of Indonesia commits to having all 34 provinces develop and implement local food and nutrition action plans, aligned with the National Midterm Development Plan (RPJMN) 2020–24 and the National Strategy on Stunting Prevention and Reduction, by 2024. In 2012, Law No.18, concerning food, mandated national and local governments to formulate food and nutrition plans to establish and strengthen coordination in the food and nutrition sector. At the national level, the National Action Plan for Food and Nutrition (RAN-PG) has been formulated in line with the RPJMN. As the next step, the government commits to guide all 34 provinces to formulate their subnational-level action plans, aligned with the RAN-PG.

The RAN-PG is a framework to harmonise the commitments and activities of multisectoral national and subnational government agencies and public institutions to address all forms of malnutrition. Specifically, the RAN-PG aims at increasing the availability and affordability of diverse, safe and nutritious food through multisectoral collaboration, improving the utilisation and integration of essential nutrition services in social protection programmes for vulnerable groups (specifically women, pregnant mothers and children under 5 years of age). The aims of RAN-PG include increasing access to biofortification and food fortification, limiting sugar, salt and fat intake through food labelling and education, strengthening its regulation and reducing food loss and waste as well as promoting social behaviour change communication.

Moving forward, further efforts will be made to provide intensive technical assistance to the formulation of subnational-level action plans and to clarify the roles and responsibilities of relevant national and subnational stakeholders on the implementation of action plans. The same processes will be followed across all 34 provinces to ensure the formulation of subnational-level action plans.
