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 Keywords : nutrition program, budget, district
