Abstract

PROPORTION OF DISTRICT ALLOCATED BUDGET FOR NUTRITION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM IN 2003-2005

The 2004 Indonesian Households survey indicated that Nutritional status of the Indonesian’s
underfives had not shown positive improvement since 2000 -2005. Factors influence that
conditions among others, were less funds allocated for nutrition programs, lack of coordination
between sectors and within programs and lack of personnel motivation to enhance nutrition
services.
This study using cross-sectional design was carried out at 6 Districts during the year 2006 and
aims to analise the proportion of DHO allocated for Nutrition improvement program during the year
2003-2005. The data was analysed descriptively using Excell program.
The results showed that the proportion of Nutrition Program Budget was relatively equal every
year, with the exception of higher proportion in 2003 and was second highest compare to other
DHO program’s budget. The type of activities carried out were relatively similar every year
including the distribution of meals to Posyandu and schools. There were some contribution made
by other units within the DHO to improve nutrional status of the underfives. The success of
nutrition services was not achieved without close coordination and support from other sectors,
therefore it is important to prioritize activities and budget allocation within the related programs
