One solution that can be implemented is the Positive Daviance Program in Providing Supplementary Feeding (PMT). The method used in this program is through the planning stage, implementation stage and program evaluation stage as well as assistance in making PMT and providing a little education to parents of toddlers. Where service members provide monitoring assistance to Mempesona Cadres and Toddler Mothers in the PMT making activity and also provide a little education to parents of toddlers regarding stunting management through Providing Supplementary Food (PMT).
