In his statement, Mr. Dedi Prasetyo said, PT GGP was very good in terms of strategic planning and had been systematically structured to handle the stunting program in Central Lampung. The Central Lampung government hopes that PT GGP can become a pioneer for other companies in Central Lampung for best practices in handling reducing stunting rates in certain loci in Central Lampung.
“The Lamteng District Government really appreciates the CSR program carried out by PT GGP, because the CSR programs carried out are sustainable. “The Regency Government is very grateful for the company’s cooperation and dedication to caring for the environment around the Company,” he said.

Apart from everyone’s role and cooperation in suppressing and preventing stunting in Central Lampung, there are many factors that influence the emergence of malnutrition problems. The stunting program is necessary and very important to be handled jointly, whether from the government, private sector or society.
“In executing and implementing the stunting management program, we are trying to provide education, not only in terms of diet, but also in terms of parenting and lifestyle. “As a private sector, we would also like to thank the government and local communities who took part in this program and have supported the GGF program very well,” explained Mrs. Weni Puspa.
Through this stunting discussion, proposals from the locus villages in the form of sensitive intervention proposals in the form of sanitation and clean water, increasing awareness of parenting and access to nutritious food, will
received special attention, said Dedi Prasetyo.
