Integrating nutrition-sensitive and climate-smart strategies into RANPG & RADPG

By 2029, the Government of Indonesia commits to integrating nutrition-sensitive and climate-smart strategies and actions the subnational food and nutrition action plans (RAD-PG) to ensure access to diverse and nutritious diets through sustainable food systems as key outcomes. This includes strengthening local food production to provide diverse nutrition, including aquatic food, reducing food loss and waste and enhancing large-scale food fortification (LSFF) while restricting marketing of unhealthy food and promoting healthier alternatives including reducing consumption of ultra-processed foods to ensure resilient and equitable food system aligned with national goals.

As mandated by Law No. 18 of 2012 on Food, the Government of Indonesia develops National Food and Nutrition Action Plan (RAN-PG) every five years as a framework to harmonize commitments and actions across national and subnational agencies to address all forms of malnutrition. In 2025, Indonesia will finalize the 2025-2029 RAN-PG, building upon the previous plan, while integrating climate-sensitive nutrition strategies and actions. It aims to increase the availability and affordability of diverse, safe, and nutritious foods resilient to climate impacts, strengthen sustainable and climate-resilient utilization of food and essential nutrition services specifically for vulnerable groups (women, pregnant mothers, under five children, elderly, and communities in food insecure area) through multi-sectoral collaboration . The RAN-PG will be translated into sub-national food and nutrition action plans at the provincial level across Indonesia.

Moving forward, the Government of Indonesia commits to scaling up efforts to provide intensive technical assistance for the integration of at least two of the nutrition-sensitive and climate-smart strategies including local food, aquatic food, (bio)fortification, or food loss and waste reduction into sub-national food and nutrition action plans. This will be prioritized in the 18 provinces that have established RAD-PG as of 2024, with specific focus on those at moderate to very high risk of climate impacts and malnutrition. Five of these provinces have already incorporated climate-smart and nutrition-sensitive strategies into their existing RAD-PG. Progress will be monitored annually, to ensure alignment with the 2029 target.
