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

The Government of Indonesia commits to have all 34 provinces develop and implement the local food and nutrition action plan, aligned with the 2020-24 National Mid-Term Development Plan and National Strategy on Stunting Prevention and Reduction by 2024. In 2012, the Law No.18 concerning foods mandated the national and local governments to formulate food and nutrition plans to establish and strengthen coordination in 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 2020-24 National Mid-Term Development Plan. 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 harmonize 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, nutritious food through multi-sectoral collaboration, improving the utilization and integration of essential nutrition services in social protection program for vulnerable groups (specifically: women, pregnant mothers, and under-five children). 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, reducing Food Loss and Waste (FLW), 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 clarifying the roles and responsibilities of relevant national and subnational stakeholders on the implementation of action plan. Same processes will be followed across all 34 provinces to ensure the formulation of subnational level action plans.
