Program Summary :

Jajanan Balita Sehat is currently an innovative community-based urban nutrition project being piloted in Jakarta. The program aims to address both short-term vulnerability and long-term poverty and malnutrition by increasing the
availability of convenient, low-cost, high-quality food for children under five, and at the same time offering a new avenue of economic opportunity. While a myriad of convenient food choices exist for adults, there was a dearth of options for children under five, a time of special nutritional needs. In Jakarta Mercy Corps facilitated the evolution of a new niche micro-market business in the community called ‘Jajanan Balita Sehat’ (Healthy Street Foods/Snacks for Children Under Five) targeted at both providing cheap, nutritious meals for children while at the same time providing much-needed additional income to entrepreneurial women and their families.
This project will adapt the ‘healthy baby food program’ to operate in
Banda Aceh. The aim is to improve the nutritional intake of at least 1,000 children under five and improve the lives of food vendor groups.
