Initiated by APRIL Group&#8217;s Indonesia operations PT Riau Andalan Pulp&#13;<br \/>\nand Paper (RAPP), the 15-29 June 2021 online training aimed to support&#13;<br \/>\nhealthcare workers in the management of 276 posyandu in Riau. The volunteers were&#13;<br \/>\nfrom various regions that included Pelalawan, Siak, Kuantan Singingi, Kampar,&#13;<br \/>\nand Meranti Islands.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13; <\/p>\n<p>Meranti&#13;<br \/>\nIslands District Health Office Head Dr. Misri Hasanto said: &#8220;Posyandu volunteers&#13;<br \/>\nserve on the frontline in rural areas and support the management of the&#13;<br \/>\nposyandu. This important training will broaden and improve their skillsets.&#13;<br \/>\nThis will then positively impact maternal and child health, and help with wider&#13;<br \/>\nstunting prevention efforts.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13; <\/p>\n<p>Susanti,&#13;<br \/>\na Mekar Sari Village posyandu volunteer, said: &#8220;The training injects newfound&#13;<br \/>\nenergy in all the volunteers. We learn how to better manage a posyandu during a&#13;<br \/>\nchallenging time such as the pandemic. We have also learned useful skills in&#13;<br \/>\ndevelopment, data recording and reporting, in addition to developing a deeper&#13;<br \/>\nunderstanding on infant and toddler health and stunting prevention.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13; <\/p>\n<p>The&#13;<br \/>\nRiau government has been actively working with stakeholders to reduce the&#13;<br \/>\nstunting prevalence to 14 percent in 2014. Governor Syamsuar said on the&#13;<br \/>\nsidelines of an event in which food packages under its Supplementary Feeding&#13;<br \/>\nProgram were distributed to the community: &#8220;The stunting prevalence in Riau has&#13;<br \/>\ndeclined from 27.4 percent in 2018 to 23.7 percent in 2020. The figures are&#13;<br \/>\nstill high and we require more support to fight stunting. It is important we&#13;<br \/>\nhave continued collaboration between the government, the people and the private&#13;<br \/>\nsector. We are very grateful to be working with PT RAPP, which has committed to&#13;<br \/>\ntackle stunting in the province.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13; <\/p>\n<p>RAPP&#8217;s&#13;<br \/>\nCommunity Development Strategic Planning Manager Bertone Anwar said that stunting&#13;<br \/>\nprevention required all stakeholders to work together, and more can be done to&#13;<br \/>\nimprove the nutrition of children and pregnant women. He added that the&#13;<br \/>\nposyandu volunteer training program was part of APRIL Group&#8217;s commitment to&#13;<br \/>\nsupporting the national stunting mitigation efforts. In Nov 2020, APRIL Group&#13;<br \/>\nlaunched APRIL2030, the company&#8217;s vision for meeting the challenges of the next&#13;<br \/>\ndecade.
