INDONESIA NUTRITION DEVELOP~ENT PROJECT
SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS
(i) Real per capita incomes in Indonesia have improved significantly
in recent years, but still an estimated two-thirds of the population or some
75 million people, live at or close to absolute poverty, as measured by ade
quacy of daily calorie and protein intake. Widespread malnutrition of such
proportions, particularly among the most vulnerable groups, represents a
costly constraint on human productive capacity that severely hinders efforts
to achieve national development goals. Malnutrition itself is in turn attri
butable to poverty, but could be more effectively combated if nutrition
problems were better understood and dealth with more directly through sys
tematic and realistic national programs.
(ii) Indonesia's development plan addresses directly the problems of em-
ployment, income generation and production. Although some of these invest
ments have a significant impact on the nutritional status of the population,
they are not by themselves sufficient to deal with the problems of malnutri
tion, particularly of those living in poverty. Seen in the broad context of
Indonesia's overall development strategy , nutrition activities are complemen
tary to other investment efforts particularly in agriculture, health and edu
cation. Well directed nutrition policies and investments can l ower mortality
and morbidit y rates, contribute to raising productivity levels, help to
achieve famil y planning and education objectives, optimize the use of avail
able food resources, and improve the level of human well-being which is the
ultimate g oal of all development activities. Nutrition programs a lso serve
as a direct means of income distribution and in general, improve the social
and economic conditions of t h e d i sadvantaged portion o f che population.
(PCM), vitamin A and iodine deficiencies, and nutritional anemia - are wide-
spread throughout Indonesia. The high rate of infant mortality - between
110 and 150 per 1,000 - can be traced in large part to PCM. Malnutrition in
Indonesia is a result of a combination of different factors, foremost of which
are; inadequate production and availability of foods, inequitable distributjon
of available food and insufficient awareness of the nutritional needs of vul-
~ nerable groups.
(iv) Indonesia's average per capita availability of food has been about
1,840 calories and 45 grams of protein compared to a recommended daily re
quirement of about 1,920 calories and 55 grams of protein. However, given
the income distribution in Indonesia, a substantial portion of the population
is getting well below the required amounts. Since the First Development Plan
period (1969-74) an important priority in Government policies has been in-
creased rice production, the main staple food.
(v) At the same time, the Government has become increasingly concerned
about the prevalence of malnutrition among its population and committed it-
self to improving this situation. Past Indonesian efforts, supported by
UNICEF, WHO, CARE and FAO, to achieve nutritional improvements have had only
limited success because of their lack of intersectoral coordination with
agricultural or other development policies and of their failure to focus on
the particular problems of the poor and most vulnerable. The proposed pro
ject builds on the experience from these activities. The Government intends
to implement a national nutri.tion plan during the Third Five-Year Plan, to
commence in 1980. However, it now lacks basic prerequisites: sufficient
- iii -
manpower and institutional capacity capable of implementing large-scale pro
grams, knowledge concerning the effectiveness of alternative forms of nutri
tion interventions and delivery systems, and an adequate data base from which
to analyse the effectiveness of possible nutrition activities.
(vi) The primary purpose of the proposed project is to assist the Gov-
ernment in improving the nutritional status through developing a national
food and nutrition program with adequate institutional support and appropri-
ately trained personnel to carry it out. Through a combination of action pro-
grams both at the national and field level and their evaluation, the proposed
project would identify replicable and cost-effective measures to improve the
nutritional status and increase the productivity of malnourished target
groups. All these activities will aid in the preparation of a national food
and nutrition plan. The proposed project would assist the Government in:
(a) Institution Building
(i) Strengthening the Center for Research and Development in Nutrition (CRDN) at Bogar through funds for additional staff, training, technical assistance, necessary equipment and modest expansion of physical facilities.
(ii) Supporting the Food Technology Development Center (FTDC) at the Agricultural University, Bogar, with facilities, equipment and staff.
(iii) Strengthening of planning, coordination and evaluation of nutrition activities through technical assistance to the Ministries of Health, Education and Agriculture.
(b) Direct Nutrition Action Programs
(i) Initiation of a Nutrition Intervention Pilot Project (NIPP) which integrates nutrition, education, agricultural and health activities and selective food supplementation to vulnerable target groups in a total of seven Kabupatens.
(vii)
- iv -
(ii) Increasing the production of nutritious vegetables and fruits through intensification of home/village gardens through provision of improved seeds, development of model garden packages and intensification of extension efforts.
(iii) Improving food processing and storage, especially at village level through assistance to the Food Technology Development Center which would, in collaboration with the Ministry of Agriculture, develop an appropriate action program in NIPP villages.
(iv) Initiation of an iron supplementation program to tackle nutritional anemia in a selected number of plantations with a view to developing a national program to cover all government and privately owned plantations.
(c) Education and Training
(i) Testing the efficiency of alternative nutrition communication methods to bring about desirable changes in nutrition behavior.
(ii) Upgrading and expanding the training of nutritionists in the Academy of Nutrition at Jakarta by provision of equipment, staff and necessary physical facilities.
(iii) Improving the training of agricultural extensionists by introduction of nutrition in the curriculum of the basic training centers and the secondary agricultural schools of the Agency for Education, Training and Extension.
(d) Preparation of a National Food and Nutrition Plan
(i) Assist the Government in the preparation of a national food and nutrition plan by taking into account inter alia: the results of the evaluation of the various nutrition actions taken up under the proposed project and their cost effectiveness and replicability; manpower availability; and the managerial skills and institutions developed as a result of the project.
Specific linkages would be established between the proposed pro-
ject and ongoing development activities, including those assisted by the
Bank, particularly agricultural research and extension and traini ng, popu
lation programs and other government initiatives.
- V -
(viii) As a result of the project, the Government would have developed
(a) a cadre of trained professionals and strengthened institutions equipped
to implement this plan; (b) an assessment of the effectiveness of various
direct nutrition action programs; (c) new action programs for more efficient
techniques of food storage and processing, and for fortification of Indo
nesia's foods; (d) techniques for mass education in nutrition; (e) nutri
tional considerations in its agricultural policy; and (f) a national food
and nutrition plan.
(ix) In additin to the above benefits which are national in scope,
other immediate side benefits can be expected in the areas where direct nut
rition action programs will have been carried out. Approximately 30,000
children affected by PCM would have been rehabilitated; about 100,000 fami
lies would receive nutrition education, including 45,000 pregnant and/or
lactating mothers (of these, 17,000 will have received food supplements);
and 100,000 children would have been immunized from infectious diseases.
18,000 farm families would participate in the home/village garden programs
and improve their nutritional status through on-farm consumption. The in
troduction of improved, low cost on-farm/village level storage facilities
would mark the beginning of a nationwide program for reducing food losses
and thereby raising food availability. Since the proposed project is an
innovative and pioneering field, it carries an inherent risk. A risk speci
fic to this project arises from the fact that its implementation involves
many ministries and their coordinated actions. Proposed organizational
arrangements are considered satisfactory to cover this risk.
(x) The proposed project is intended to reach the poorest segment of
t he population, and within that group concentrate on those most vulnerable
to malnutrition and other nutritional deficiencies.
-- - ---------------
- vi -
(xi) Each of the different components of the proposed project would be
implemented within the existing organizational structure of Government. The
overall coordination of the project would rest with the Director General of
Community Health, Ministry of health, the designated Project Director. To
ensure the full cooperation of the Ministries of Interior, Education and Agri
culture, a part-time coordinator will be nominated from each of these mini
stries to work in close cooperation with the Project Director in identifying
and solving problems of interministerial coordination. The CRDN, in the
Ministry of Health, and the FTDC, in the Ministry of Education, would be ad
ministered by their respective directors. The NIPP component would be admin
istered at the national level by a coordinator stationed in the Ministry of
Health. In the provinces, the Governor of the Province would be responsible
for coordination and implementation of NIPP. The Anemia Prevention and Con
trol Project would be administered by the Nationl Institute for Industrial
Hygiene and Occupational Health, through delegation to its regional insti
tutes, with close collaboration with the Directorate General of Plantations,
Ministry of Agriculture. Provision has also been made for about 35 man-
years of highly qualified consultant specialists for periods varying from
a few weeks to 4 years, who would compensate for the current scarcity of
Indonesian personnel with requisite training and experience necessary to
support the various programs under the project. About 44 Indonesian experts
would be provided with fellowships for training in nutrition and food tech
nology, either abroad or in Indonesia.
(xii) Total costs of the proposed 4-year project are estimated at US$26
million (Rp. 10.8 billion, including contingencies). The foreign exchange
component is about 40 percent. Civil works contracts in excess of US$1.0
- vii -
million would be awarded on the basis of international competitive bidding
in accordance with the Bank's guidelines; domestic contractors would be
given a 7 1/2 percent preference. Contracts below US$1.0 million would be
awarded on the basis of competitive bidding advertised locally, with no re
striction on foreign bidding, and in accordance with normal government pro
cedures which are satisfactory to the Bank. Equipment and furniture contracts
in excess of US$50,000 would be awarded on the basis of international competi
tive bidding in accordance with the Bank's guidelines; domestic manufacturers
would be allowed a preferential margin of 15 percent, or the existing customs
duty, whichever is the lower, over the c.i.f. price of competing imports.
Contracts for equipment and furniture which cannot reasonably be grouped in
packages of at 'least US$50,000 equivalent, subject to an aggregate total of
US$3 .4 million equivalent could be awarded on the basis of competitive bidding
advertised locally following normal government procedures. Procurement of
vehicles (except for 10 required for startup) would be on the basis of inter
national competitive bidding subject to Bank guidelines.
(xiii) Disbursement would be made at the rate of 100 percent against ex-
penditures for both foreign and local consultants and fellowships, and di
rectly imported equipment, library supplies, furniture and vehicles; 95
percent of the ex-factory price of equipment manufactured locally; 80 per
cent of civil works expenditures; 65 percent of imported equipment procured
locally; and 40 percent of vehicles procured locally. Expenditures for con
sultant architects incurred after October 1975 would be financed retroactively
from the proposed loan up to a total of US$50,000 equivalent.
(xiv) Subject to appropriate assurances, the proposed project is suitable
for a Bank loan of US$13 million equivalent, for a term of 20 years, including
viii -
a grace period of 4 i/2 years. The loan would cover 50 percent of total costs,
equal to the maximum estimated foreign exchange component and 10 percent of
local costs. The balance would be provided by the Government of Indonesia,
which would be the borrower.
INDONESIA
NUTRITION DEVELOPMENT PROJECT
I. INTRODUCTION
1.01 The Government of Indonesia is increasingly concerned about the
prevalence of malnutrition among its population. Recognizing that the pri
mary cause of malnutrition is inadequate availability of food, the Govern
ment has undertaken major programs to increase the production and availabil
ity of staple foods. It has also undertaken important supplementary programs
to remedy specific nutritional deficiencies and upgrade health, feeding and
nutrition practices among the nutritionally vulnerable. l._/ These limited
nutrition programs, however, have lacked the organized, systematic and sus-
tained approach needed to combat effectively malnutrition, its causes and
its derivative ills on a national scale.
1.02 The Government has requested Bank assistance in:
(i) developing the institutional infrastructure necessary for effective formulation, implementation and evaluation of a national food and nutrition program;
(ii) strengthening on-going programs of nutrition research; and
(iii) improving food technology, nutrition education and training.
This assistance would lead to the formulation and implementation of a
national food and nutrition program. In order that such a program will

have the greatest impact on the nutritional status and on a more effi
cient resource utilization, a range of pilot action components will be
required to test organizational arrangements, program costs and benefits,
and replicability on a national scale.
1.03 The project is based upon a feasibility study prepared by a task
force consisting of representatives of relevant ministries, established in
1973 by the BAPPENAS (The National Development and Planning Agency), with
assistance from Bank staff, UNICEF and consultants. Project appraisal com
menced with missions in August/September 1975 and in February 1976. In
accordance with the special procedures established during discussion of the
Policy Guidelines for Bank Nutrition activities, l/ a preliminary report on
this project was discussed by the Executive Directors on March 23, 1976.
In light of the Board discussion, further work was carried out by a post
appraisal mission which visited Indonesia in June 1976. The proposed project
reflects changes recommended by that mission with respect to stronger linkages
~ with productivity issues and food production.
1.04 The Bank Group has approved 43 projects for Indonesia totalling
US$561 .8 million in credits and US$317 .5 million in loans. Almost one half
of the projects are in the agricultural sector. Other project sectors
were transport, public utilities, industry, development finance, population,
education, rural and urban development. This project would be the first
Bank loan to Indonesia in the field of nutrition, but substantial linkages
are envisioned between this and other ongoing Bank projects (see paras.
3 .05 to 3.09).

II. BACKGROUND
A. Nutrition and Economic Development
2 . 01 While often a consequence of economic development in many coun-
tries, adequate nutrition is a precursor and pre- condition of better produc
tivity and development. Indonesia's 1975 per capita GDP is estimated at
US$184 . Although real per capita incomes have improved significantly in
recent years, it is estimated that some two-thirds of the population, about
78 million people, live at or close to absolute poverty level, as measured
by adequacy of daily calorie and protein intake . Nutritional deficiency of
such a large part of Indonesia's population is not only a problem of human
concern but also of economic development. Well- directed nut r ition policies
and investments can lower mortality and morbidity rates, contribute to increases
in productivity, help achieve family planning and education objectives, serve
as a direct means of income distribution and, in general, improve the social
and economic conditions of disadvantaged portions of the population.
2.02 The relationship between better nutrition and improved output has
been demonstrated in a number of studies . In Indonesia, studies have shown,
for instance, that non- anemic workers have a 20 percent higher productivity
than that of anemic workers . ];_/ Well organized feeding programs for indus
trial workers in many parts of the world have shown to reduce rates of

accidents, absenteeism and labor turnover, resulting in improved skills
and greater productive capacity and output.
2.03 Improvement in nutrition also increases the efficiency of other
forms of investment in human capital. There is a positive correlation
between nutritional status in early childhood and brain development, since
80 percent of eventual brain weight is reached during the first 24 months
of life. Malnourished children tend to grow up less equipped to absorb
knowledge and to innovate. Their school performance is marked by chronic
absenteeism, high drop-out rates and high rates of grade repetition. In
vestments in nutrition thus assist in better utilization of the education
system. Even if there is no guarantee of adequate nutrition in adulthood,
better nutrition in childhood or in utero enables the child to reach a
higher level of mental and physical development and so better adapt to the
challenges of adulthood.
2.04 Sound nutrition policies can optimize the use of available food
resources. Reducing food and nutrient losses through better storage, pro
cessing and dietary combinations of foodstuffs increases the effective
availability of food at given production levels. Effective interaction of
nutrition policies with agricultural and economic policy actions is therefore
essential.
2.05 The relevance of nutrition to development in Indonesia has to be
seen in the broad context of the country's development strategy. To estab
lish an explicit relationship between improved nutritional status of the
population and employment and income generation is difficult, particularly
e
- 5 -
in a labor surplus economy such as Indonesia's. Indonesia's development
plan, supported in many instances by multi and bilateral aid programs, does
address directly the problems of employment and income generation. Nutri-
tion activities should be seen as complementary to these efforts. Adequate
nutrition improves the quality of human capital both immediately and over
the longer-run by increasing production capacity of the current work force
as well as the educability and potential productivity of children. Besides
promoting more effective use of investments to develop agriculture, health and
education, nutrition programs can effect human well-being which is the ultimate
goal of all development activities.
B. The Nutrition Problem
2.06 The Government, in collaboration with various international agen-
cies, has identified four major nutrition problems in Indonesia: (i) pro
tein-calorie malnutrition, (ii) vitamin A deficiency, (iii) iodine defi
ciency, and (iv) nutritional anemia. These problems are wide-spread
throughout Indonesia, although ecological and cultural differences among
the regions, which affect food availability and consumption, account for
geographical variations in the nature and intensity of malnutrition (see
Annex 1).
Protein- Calorie Malnutrition (PCN)
2.07 Inadequate intake of calories and protein is the most basic nutri-
tion problem in Indonesia. Close to one-third of all children under the
age of five (about 7 million) and more than half of all lactating mothers
- 6 -
(about 5.6 million) are estimated to suffer from PCM. Pregnant women are
another highly vulnerable group, although insufficient work has been done
to allow for a reliable estimate of the incidence of PCM among this group. In
1974, a WHO-sponsored team determined from existing surveys that PCM among
Indonesian children was particularly severe: over 50 percent of the children
under the age of two in Java were found to suffer from second and third degree
malnutrition (i.e. body-weights less than 75 percent and 60 percent respectively
of the WHO norm), while an additional 25 percent showed less severe, though
definite anthropometric signs of malnutrition (less than 90 percent normal
height, weight and arm circumference).
2.08 PCM is a major cause of Indonesia's high rate of infant mortality,
either directly or by lowering infants' resistance to infectious disease.
Infant deaths in Indonesia lie between 110 and 150 per 1,000, compared to
infant mortality rates (per thousand live births) of 18 in North America,
139 in India, 142 in Pakistan and 38 in neighboring Malaysia, which has
considerable geographic and cultural similarities with Indonesia. If PCM
is untreated among survivors, particularly before the age of two years, it
retards physical growth and impairs mental development. After the age of
three years, the recovery of lost growth caused by PCM is extremely diffi
cult if not impossible.
Vitamin A Deficiencv
2.09 The incidence of vitamin A deficiency among Indonesia's population,
particularly among children, is one of the highest in the world. This defi
ciency affects growth and weakens resistance to other nutritional diseases.
Prolonged vitamin A deficiency causes serious lesions of the eye, clinically
- 7 -
known as xerophthalmia, which compete with trachoma as a leading cause of
blindness in the country. The incidence of xerophthalmia among children
has been found to be 4-5 percent in rural Java, reaching up to 22 percent
in urban squatter areas.
Iodine Deficiency
2.10 Goiter, caused by iodine deficiency, has been prevalent in
Indonesia for centuries. In its early stages, endemic goiter may display
no symptoms, but untreated goiter causes difficulty in breathing, coughing
and voice changes. Recent studies show increasing incidence of goiter, 1../
especially among children. (Between 50 to 80 percent of those surveyed in
North and West Sumatra, East Java and Bali were found to have goiter).
Iodine deficiency can also lead to cretinism, a more serious iodine defi-
ciency disease, which manifests itself through a wide range of symptoms:
mental retardation, impaired physical development (dwarfism), deafness,
deaf-mutism and neurological abnormalities such as squinting. A 1973 study
indicates there are about 100,000 cases of cretinism, and about 500,000 others
in early stages of cretinism in Indonesia.
Nutritional Anemia
2.11 Indonesia has the highest country incidence of nutritional anemia
ever recorded in a male population dur i ng non-famine conditions. In a joint
research project undertaken in 1973 and 1974 by the Indonesian Nutrition
l/ Nain, D.A. et al, "The Prevalence of Endemic Goiter among School Children in some parts of Sumatra, Java and Bali, Indonesia" Second Asian Nutrition Congress, Manila, 1973.
- 8 -
Research Institute and the Bank l/ the prevalence of anemia among a sample
population of Indonesian male workers was found to be between 28 to 52 per
cent. The variations reflect the incidence of anemia in different geograph-
ical regions. More than three-quarters of the anemic workers suffered from
iron deficiency. Anemia was also found to be prevalent among non- pregnant
women (35 to 85 percent) and among pregnant women (SO to 92 percent, mostly
due to iron deficiency). ]J The results of the research projects corroborate
the findings of other field surveys indicating anemia as a major health prob
lem. Nutritional anemia leads to lower productivity, lassitude and poor
work habits, which in turn lead to lower incomes and poor nutrition. The
1974 study found that productivity of non-anemic workers was about 20 percent
higher than that of anemic workers.
C. Causes of Malnutrition
2.12 Malnutrition in Indonesia is a result of a combination of factors,
mainly inadequate production and availability of foods, inequitable distribution
of available food and insufficient awareness of the nutritional needs of and
by vulnerable groups. Poor food habits compound the problem. Concurrent
parasite infestations and infections adversely affect intake through reduction
in appetite and absorption of needed nutrients. Indonesia's average per capita

availability of food has been 1788-1840 calories and 45 grams of protein
compared to a recommended daily requirement of about 1920 calories and 40
grams of protein. 1./ However, these averages do not convey the seriousness of
the overall problem. Uneven distribution of income and unequal access to food
in Indonesia cause a substantial percentage of the population to be in a state
of chronic under-nutrition. Surveys indicate that 76 percent of the rural and
71 percent of the urban population of Java receive incomes which are below the
mininum necessary to purchase adequate calories and protein. J:./ While general
economic development strategies are required to correct income inadequacies,
nutrition activities can increase effective food availability and utilization
especially for the nutritionally vulnerable.
Food Production
2.13 Indonesia's First Five Year Development Plan period (1969-74) con-
centrated on increasing production of rice, the main staple food, through
development of irrigation facilities, appropriate pricing policy measures,
fertilizer subsidy and extension services. Rice production expanded at the
rate of 4.7 percent per year. The production of secondary crops, however,

J:./ IBRD No. 708-IND, Indonesia Development Prospects and Needs, Basic Economic Report, April 15, 1975, p. 8.
- 10 -
declined during this period. l/ Compared on calorie content, the produc
tion of all food crops rose by only 3 percent per year and did not keep
pace with increased demand for food crops resulting from higher incomes
and population growth. 1./
2.14 For the Second Five Year Development Plan period (1974-1979),
growth in rice production has been projected at 5 percent per annum. Yet
even this rate of expansion would be insufficient to meet the estimated demand
for rice. The Government's concern over the rice shortage has led to pro-
posals to develop rice estates outside densely populated Java and to develop
tidal irrigation on a large scale for transmigrants from Java. Also, the
Government plans to intensify secondary food crop production.
2.15 Indications, while still not conclusive, suggest food wastages of
up to 25 percent due to storage and distribution losses and nutrient losses
in processing. The Government recognizes the need for an action program to
improve food processing, storage and marketing in order to make maximum use
~ of agricultural output.
Food Habits
2.16 Poor food habits and lack of awareness of nutritional requirements
among a large segment of the population adversely affect nutritional status,
1../ Ma i ze, soybeans, groundnuts, cassava and other tubers. For details on crop production see IBRD, No. 708-IND, 1975, p. 8.
1/ The population of Indonesia is estimated at 133 million in 1975 and is increasing at a rate of 2.5 percent per year. Because income levels in Indonesia remains low (GNP was estimated at $130 per capita in 1973), between 55 and 60 percent of income growth is translated into demand for foodstuffs.
- 11 -
particularly among the nutritionally vulnerable (for details see Annex I).
In most areas, the preferred staple is rice, frequently mixed with maize,
cassava or sweet potatoes, for one of the two CTeals per day. Very few families
can afford to consume animal protein. Protein-rich vegetables are seasonal
and are used only infrequently in meals. Locally processed soybean products
are popular, but are not available in sufficient quantities to provide adequate
levels of protein or calories.
2.17 Fortunately, breast-feeding of children, normally until the first
and often the second year, is almost universally practised in rural areas.
But there is little understanding of the importance of additional solid foods
other than soft rice or banana fo r children after 5-6 months. Vegetables,
meat and fish are generally not provided to young children in any form, due
in part to local practices and beliefs that such foods may be harmful.
D. Actions to Counter Malnutrition
2.18 The Government is fully aware of the need to increase production
and availability of food. It recognizes that an increase of staple food
alone will not be sufficient to control malnutrition and is implementing
actions through the BI~S/IN~L~S l_/ programs to increase production of
diverse food crops. The Bank has recently approved a National Food Crops
1/ Xass guidance program for self-sufficiency in rice and palawija (pulses, soyabeans and other intercropped varieties) . The BIMAS pro~ram was initiated in 1965/66 and by 1974/75 it covered about 2.2 million ha of rice land. Its key feature is a credit approach whereby eligible farmers obtain credit for current inputs and for living allowance together with extension service. The IN"t-~-S program commenced in 1967 /68 to provide subsidized inputs, without credit or a~tension.
- 12 -
Extension Project which will intensify and expand the extension service for
these programs. However, further actions are required to meet the nutri-
tional needs of specific age and income groups. Although available data
reveal the gravity of the nutrition problem and general direction of action,
the Government's attempts to promote an intensified attack on the nutritional
problem are handicapped by insufficient manpower and institutional capacity
and by an inadequate data-base from which to analyze the effectiveness of
possible nutrition activities.
On-going Programs
2.19 Indonesia's on-going nutrition programs, though limited, supple-
ment agricultural policies and reflect an appreciation of the gravity and
multi-sectoral nature of the problem.
The Applied Nutrition Program (ANP)
(a) The Applied Nutrition Program began in the Province of Central Java in the early 1960s and was supported until 1974 by UNICEF, FAQ and WHO. Pilot projects have, since 1970, been undertaken in over 100 villages. ANP projects promote the production and use of protective 1./ and protein-rich foods through nutrition education and the production of poultry, milk and fish. The Ministry of Health currently supports and administers the program with the participation of the local administration and provincial and regional nutrition committees.
Vitamin A Distribution
(b) The Ministry of Health, with assistance from UNICEF, has over the last two years distributed
);./ Protective foods are foods rich in vitamins and minerals, such as dark green leafy vegetables, orange or yellow fruits and vegetables.
e
- 13 -
vitamin A capsules (each containing 200,000 international units) to 200,000 children between the ages of 1 and 4 years, as a prophylaxis against xerophthalmia.
Salt Iodization
(c) Agreement has recently been reached between the Government and UNICEF on a program to fortify 120,000 tons of salt per year with potassium iodate in large state salt works as protection against goiter. The possibilities for iodating people ' s salts, i.e., salt produced by traditional methods in small saltpans by cooperatives and other producers are also under active investigation.
Lipiodol
(d) In areas where endemic cretinism is a serious problem, injections of lipiodol, an iodine compound dissolved in oil, are being carried out with the assistance of UNICEF. This is expected to protect injected persons for five years. The target of this program, which began in 1975, is to cover 300,000 people per year.
Distribution of Milk Powder
(e) Milk powder has been provided to about 2,000 Maternal and Child Health (MCH) Centers with the assistance of the World Food Program (WFP) since the early sixties.
School Feeding Programs
(f) In West Java, CARE has organized a school feeding program that now covers approximately 300,000 children. Catholic Relief Services and the Church World Service support feeding programs for a further 50,000 school children in Central Java.
Nutrition Research and Training Institutions
2 .20 The Indonesian Nutrition Research Institute was established at Bogor
in 1960 under the administration of the Ministry of Health and in 1974 it was
- 14 -
converted into the Center for Research and Development in Nutrition. The
research undertaken at the Institute has been essentially bio-medical in
orientation. The present work program is of good quality but limited by
shortages of staff, funds and equipment.
2.21 The Academy of Nutrition at Jakarta offers three years of training
and awards Bachelor of Science degrees in nutrition to about twenty-five
graduates a year. In 1973, there were 417 trained nutritionists in
Indonesia 1_/ -- less than half the number required to implement govern
ment programs. The Government plans to post nutritionists to 26 provinces
and to each of the 260 Kabupatens, J:j in addition to providing dieticians
for the large hospitals. At a higher level, nutrition staff are required
for medical schools and universities. The shortage of adequately trained
nutritionists is a major constraint on the level and scope of nutrition
activities.
Key Problems and Issues in On-Going Programs
2.22 On-going programs, though large in number, have been on a rela-
tively small scale, diffuse in character and content, and have lacked base
line nutrition data on which to analyze their effectiveness. More importantly
adequate attention has not been given to problems of inter-ministerial/inter
sectoral coordination at the national and local levels . The ANP program,
while successful in increasing the awareness of nutritional problems in
project areas, had few identifiable benefits commensurate with the outlay.
A 1973 evaluation of the program indicated that the program placed too great
an emphasis on increasing protein intake, particularly of animal origin,
1./ 352 are Bachelor of Science in Nutrition, 36 are Masters of Science, one has a Doctorate in Nutrition and 28 are physicans.
J:j Kabupatens are administrative sub-divisions of provinces.
- 15 -
which is not an economically feasible solution for the majority of the pop
ulation. The program also aimed at blanket coverage of the population
within small pilot areas rather than being directed at those most in need.
School feeding programs have relied on imported foods and donations, but
are now being scaled down, due to the reduction in available grant money~
No action program has been developed to combat the widespread anemia. The
effect of the distribution of milk powder has been hampered by low and ir
regular attendance at MCH Centers and administrative problems. Less than
two-thirds of the milk powder supplied has been delivered to those attend-
ing the clinics, who are mainly the better off and better educated. The
cost of vitamin A distribution in capsule form has been high and can be
regarded only as a temporary expedient. Food wastage in storage and processing
is another serious problem which has not yet been tackled adequately. In its
plans to reduce food losses, the Government is hampered by inadequate institu
tional capacity.
E. Current Government Organization for Nutrition
2.23 The Ministry of Health has been primarily responsible for all
nutrition activities in Indonesia. In 1974 a national nutrition conference
was convened and, based on its recommendations, a Presidential Instruction
(Inpres) was issued on September 3, 1974, establishing a ~linisterial Committee
responsible for coordination and implementation of an overall national nutrition
program. The Committee was set up under the chairmanship of the Minister of
State for People's Welfare, and consists of the Ministers of Finance, Planning,
Industry, Interior, Agriculture, Education, Religion, Information and Health.
- 16 -
The Minister of Interior has been instructed to direct that Governors of
Provinces and Bupati (chief executives) of Kabupatens would be responsible for
coordinating nutrition programs such as the nutrition intervention program,
ANP, vitamin A prophylaxis, iodized salt distribution and nutrition education,
within their respective areas of jurisdiction. The Governors and Bupati have
strengthened the nutrition committees established at provincial and Kabupaten
levels under the ANP, in order that the committees can provide advice on the
coordination and implementation of all nutrition activities. In provinces
where ANP is not operating, similar committees are being established.
2.24 The Ministerial Committee is advised by a Technical Commission,
chaired by the Deputy Chairman of BAPPENAS. Membership consists of working
level representatives from the various ministries. The Technical Commission
has appointed sub-committees to make recommendations on policies regarding
goiter, vitamin A prophylaxis, a revised ANP program, nutrition education
and breast-feeding. In BAPPENAS, a new post has been created for a nutrition
~ planner located in the Bureau of Social Welfare, People's Housing and Health.
III. THE PROJECT
A. Goals and Strategy
3.01 The proposed nutrition project would assist the Government in im-
proving the nutritional status through developing a national food and nutri
tion program with adequate institutional support and appropriately trained
personnel. Through a combination of national and local action programs
e
- 17 -
and their evaluation, the project would identify replicable and cost effective
measures to improve the nutritional status and increase the productivity of
malnourished target groups. All of these activities will aid in preparation
of a national food and nutrition plan. On a national scale, the project would:
(a) strengthen the institutional and technical capacity for applie~ research and develop-ment of improved food technology at the village level in order to increase the available quantity and quality of food;
(b) provide information to help rationalize food and agricultural policies and plans, leading when appropriate to increased investments in production of nutritious foods;
(c) seek to bring about behavioral changes of food usage in order to optimize the use of food resources so that nutritional status can be improved and sustained without outside assistance;
(d) interact with ongoing agricultural research programs to develop nutritionally efficient strains;
(e) provide a monitoring, evaluation and planning system to assess and, if necessary, modify project action components in the light of implementation experience; and
(f) help in the preparation of a national food and nutrition plan and develop the managerial base for its implementation.
3.02 At the field level, during the four-year project period, pilot
action components in sufficiently large but diverse areas would test and
evaluate the nutritional impact, social acceptability, administrative
feasibility as well as cost-effectiveness and replicability on a national
- 18 -
scale of various combinations of nutritional activities directed at preg
nant women, lactating mothers, children under the age of three years and
anemic plantation labor, mainly in low-income cor:rmunities. The package
of nutrition measures under the various pilot projects would emphasize use
of local food resources; production of nutritious food in home gardens
primarily for own consumption; integrating existing knowledge with adaptations
resulting from nutrition research; education and manpower training; and better
methods of village food processing, preparation, storage and distribution.
The data and results obtained from the project would assist in formulating a
national food and nutrition plan.
3.03 The pilot action component would take place initially in two
Kabupatens in Bojonegora, typical of conditions prevailing on East Java,
and in Lombok, which represents the less densely populated areas. Two addi
tional Kabupatens would be added in the second year. After a mid-project
review by the Bank and the Government, an additional three Kabupatens would
be included, making in all a total of seven Kabupatens l/ by the fourth year.
During the period of operation, the component would reach 180 villages,
including about 30,000 malnourished children, who would be rehabilitated.
About 100,000 families would receive nutrition education, including 45,000
pregnant and lactating village women. 17,000 pregnant and lactating women
would receive supplementary food. In addition, over 100,000 children would be
immunized against infectious diseases.
l/ The pilot Kabupatens selected are Bojonegoro in East Java and West Lombok in Nusa Tengarra Barat. Subsequently regencies will be selected for the project, one in each province; Central Java, South Sumatra, West Java, Yogyakarta and Bali.

B. Project Description
3.04 The proposed nu t rition development project would assist the Govern-
ment in:
(a) Institution Building
(i) Strengthening the Center for Research and Development in Nutrition (CRDN) at Bogar through funds for additional staff, training, technical assistance, necessary equipment and modest expansion of physical facilities.
(ii) Supporting the Food Technology Development Center (FTDC) at the Agricultural University, Bogor, with facilities, equipment and staff.
(iii) Strengthening of planning, coordination and evaluation of nutrition activities through technical assistance to the Ministries of Health, Education and Agriculture .
(b) Direct Nutrition Action Programs
(i) Initiation of a Nutrition Intervention Pilot Project (NIPP) which integrates nutrition, education, agricultural and health activities and selective food supplementation to vulnerable target groups in a total of seven Kabupatens.
(ii) Increasing the production of nutritious vegetables and fruits through intensification of home/village gardens through provision of improved seeds, development of model garden packages and intensification of extens i on efforts.
(iii) Improving food processing and storage, especially at village level, through assistance to the Food Technology Development Center which would in collaboration with the Ministry of Agriculture, develop an appropriate action program.
- 20 -
(iv) Initiation of an iron supplementation program to tackle nutritional anemia in a selected number of plantations with a view to developing a national program to cover all government and privately owned plantations.
(c) Education and Training
(i) Testing the efficiency of alternative nutrition communication methods to bring about desirable changes in nutrition behavior.
(ii) Upgrading and expanding the training of nutritionists in the Academy of Nutrition at Jakarta by provision of equipment, staff and necessary physical facilities.
(iii) Improving the training of agricultural extentionists by introduction of nutrition in the curriculum of the basic training centers and the secondary agricultural schools of the Agency for Education, Training and Extension.
(d) Preparation of a National Food and Nutrition Plan
(i) Assist the Government in the preparation of a national food and nutrition plan by taking into account inter alia: the results of the evaluation of the various nutrition actions taken up under the proposed project and their cost effectiveness and replicability; manpower availability; and the managerial skills and institutions developed as a result of the project.
C. Linkages of the Proposed Nutrition Project with Ongoing Projects Assisted by the Bank
3.05 In addition to the general linkages between Indonesia's national
development program and nutrition (discussed in paras. 2.01 to 2.05),
specific ties would be established between the proposed nutrition devel
opment project and ongoing activities assisted by the Bank. Most of these
- 21 -
are agricultural projects J_/ which are aimed at quantitative increases in
production rather than at increased efficiency of processing and storage or
qualitative (nutritional) improvement in foods consumed by the poorer sections
of the population. The proposed nutrition development project would concentrate
on these neglected aspects.
3.06 The Government, through its National Food Crops Extension Project
(Bank Loan 1267-IND; implementation period 1977-1982), would increase the
number of active extension agents, provide them with adequate training,
improve rural extension infrastructure and introduce sound extension methodo
logies with emphasis on continuous training and regular farm visits. While
this extension project provides training solely for production support, it
also provides opportunities for future linkages with the nutrition development
project for educating extension workers at the Rural Extension Centers in
nutrition, horticulture and simple food-handling techniques. They could then
impart these methods to small farmers in an effort to encourage the optimal
production, storage and processing of foods, keeping in mind regional and
national nutrition requirements.
3.07 The Government's Agricultural Research and Extension Project (Bank
Loan 1179-IND; implementation period 1976 - 81), supports development of
production-oriented research for rice, "palawija" cro_ps (maize, soybeans,
sorghum and cassava), highland vegetables and rubber, and assisting in estab-
lishing national and regional information centers to prepare materials needed
J_/ Bank Group operations in Indonesia include 22 projects in the agricultural sector. The total of loans and credits approved amounts to US$528 million. These include: agricultural research and extension (2), agricultural commodity estates (5), irrigation rehabilitation (8), fertilizer (3), fisheries (2), beef cattle (1) and seeds (1).
- 22 -
for extension of research findings to small farmers. The centers for research
supported by the nutrition development project would coordinate closely with
agricultural research centers to help set research priorities, and to increase
the production of more nutritious varieties of cereals, legumes and vegetables
and to improve methods of food storage and processing (see paras. 3.12 and
3.13). The nutrition development project would provide for inclusion of
nutrition and horticulture into the curricula of the agricultural high schools
~ and the agricultural training and extension centers administered by the Agency
for Education, Training and Extension of the Ministry of Agriculture.
3.08 Indonesia has an active population program assisted by IDA Credit
300, Field staff of the proposed nutrition development project would evaluate
the relationship, disclosed in some studies, between improved nutritional
status and reduced infant mortality on the one hand, and reduced desired
family size and better acceptance of family planning on the other.
3.09 Nutrition development would also be linked with other government
initiatives e.g., the Transmigration Project (Bank Loan 1318), the currently
proposed Jakarta Urban Project, and the proposed sugar project, which would
offer possibilities for fortification of sugar with micro-nutrients.
D. Detailed Features
The Center for Research and Development in Nutrition (US$5.9 million)
3.10 The Government is in the process of converting the present Nutri-
ti.on Research Institute at Bogar to a Center for Research and Development
in Nutrition (CRDN). It will undertake operational nutrition research with a
view to assisting Government to formulate and evaluate a national food and
- 23 -
nutrition plan (see Annex 2). The Center will work closely with the Food
Technology and Development Center (FTDC), the Agency for (Agriculture) Research
Development (ARD) and the Agency for (Agricultural) Training and Extension -
the latter two are supported under other Bank-assisted projects. The proposed
project would assist in staff development, expansion of physical facilities
and organizational support for the CRDN. In particular, work emphasis would
be on planning, monitoring and evaluation of direct nutrition intervention
programs such as the NIPP field activities proposed under this project. The
work of the Center would be handled by four divisions in the areas of food
sciences, clinical nutrition, community nutrition and socio-economics. 1../
The Food Sciences Division would study the effect of storage, processing and cooking procedures on the nutrient quality of foods with a view to developing better practices. It also would carry out adaptive research on new weaning foods, using local products and new types of nutritious food mixtures. New methods so developed would be tried out in the field and passed on to FTDC for further development and large-scale extension. The Clinical Nutrition Division would carry out studies of nutritional problems from a clinical, physiological and biochemical standpoint. It would try to determine specific Indonesian calorie/protein needs for use in drawing up national food requirement estimates. This division would work with the Division of Community Nutrition in assessing the interface between productivity and nutrition, particularly in regard to iron therapy as a means of improving work output of labor. The Community Nutrition Division would be responsible for studies of nutritional status of communities, relationships between nutrition education techniques and behavioral change, and nutrition as it affects infant mortality and desired family size. The division, through the project, would acquire technical competence to design, supervise and analyze baseline and subsequent nutritional surveys, managing this function in respect of the field components in the project as well as other nutrition-related activities in Indonesia. The Socio-Economic Division would: analyze nutritional implications of existing agricultural and other policies, and collaborate with the Agricultural University of Bogar and the Ministry of Agriculture in studying and suggesting policy changes to improve the nutritional status of the poor. The division would collate and analyze food production and consumption data by different regions and study the impact of nutrition in economic development in different sectors and areas.
- 24 -
3.11 In addition to its main research function, the Center would serve
as an important training institute, providing facilities for practical work
both in the laboratories and in the field, to train faculty for the Nutri
tion Academy at Jakarta and the Agricultural University at Bogor. A unit
to coordinate these training activities would be established in the office of
the Director of CRDN.
Food Technology Development Center (US$5 . 5 million)
3.12 The Food Technology Development Center (FTDC), which is being set
up within the Agricultural University of Bogor, would work towards improving
the level of applied technology particularly with respect to village-level
processing and storage and ensuring its transfer to food industries and
agriculture. The FTDC would work in close coordination with the CRON, the
Agency for (Agricultural) Research and Development (ARD), the Directorate
General of Food Crops and the Agency for (Agricultural) Training and Extension
(AETE) (see para. 5.01). Traditional processing and storage technology would
be studied as the basis for developing and testing more efficient methods.
Their performance could be evaluated for technical and cost effectiveness with
a view to developing a national storage program (see para. 3.25-3.26).
3.13 The FTDC's program would also include a study of efficient means of
rice drying, an important prerequisite to prevent deterioration during storage,
and developing packing methods to minimize storage and transport losses .
These activities will be closely coordinated with the agricultural research
programs supported through the Agricultural Research and Extension Project.
The Center also would investigate ways to improve food processing with a view
- 25 -
to increasing the nutritive value and yield of processed products. (For
example, it would explore rice parboiling presently not practiced in Indo
nesia. Parboiling would reduce the vitamin losses which occur when rice is
polished, improve its value as a source of protein both in quantity and
quality and enhance its storage ability.) Other areas for operational study
by FTDC would be concerned primarily with methods to improve the utilization
of food in rural areas, but in addition, it would carry out work related to
the food processing industry. Operational research would focus on assessing
opportunities for food fortification; preservation of perishable crops;
increasing the nutritional value of processed foods; utilization of waste
products such as rice bran; the processing of foods for urban markets and for
export; and methods of quality control. To ensure that FTDC's work is opera
tionally oriented, experimental designs would be tested first in simple food
storage and processing units adjacent to FTDC which simulate village condi
tions; thereafter satisfactory prototypes would be tested in rural areas.
3.14 FTDC would establish a pilot extension unit which would:
(a) act as a link between the FTDC and selected villages;
(b) transmit information about existing storage and processing practices to FTDC;
(c) introduce new methods to the selected villages, and
(d) help train government extension service personnel in these methods; and
(e) cooperate with the University Extension Center at Begor.
l
- 26 -
3.15 The facilities of the Center would train food technology students
of the Agricultural University, Bogor. The Center also would provide short
courses for the extension staff of the Department of Agriculture, food in
dustry technicians and nutritionists. The project component also would
assist Center staff development through training opportunities locally and
abroad to 18 graduate candidates and 28 undergraduate candidates. Additional
information concerning this component appears in Annex 2.
Direct Nutrition Action Programs
3.16 The Nutrition Intervention Pilot Project (NIPP)(US$2.6 million) The
NIPP component would implement various nutrition actions or interventions ll
to improve the nutritional status of vulnerable groups in rural communities
(see Annex 4 for details), The primary objective of the nutrition interventions
would be to reduce PCM and related diseases among children under the age of
three, and among pregnant women and lactating mothers. Such improvements
~ would be sought through a combination of nutrition education, supplemental
feeding of the target population at PCM risk, supply of iodized salt, vitamin
A and iron supplements to reduce the incidence of other nutrition deficiencies,
and supportive health activities such as immunization. An action program
would focus on increasing the production of nutritious food for home consumption
through encouragement of home gardens. This will go together with nutrition
education activities to increase the utilization of nutritious foods. Further
action programs in the ~IPP area would deal with improvements of storage and
ll Nutrition intervention is a term used for activities to bring about an improvement in nutritional status.
- 27 -
processing practices. The Government's BIMAS/INMAS programs would
coordinate at a later stage their activities with NIPP plans of action.
3.17 The proposed NIPP activities would draw on Indonesia's experience
with the Applied Nutrition Program (ANP) and the results of the 1974 eval
uation of ANP. (The main difference between the proposed NIPP and ANP are
detailed in Annex 4.) In the NIPP areas advisory committees originally estab
lished for Ai'l'P at provincial headquarters and Kabupaten levels would now
review and advise on NIPP programs which will take the place of the ANP .
These committees would be extended to the sub-district level (Kecametan)
as part of the project.
3.18 In each NIPP village, volunteer cadres, mostly women -- at the
rate of about one per 25 households -- would be chosen from among extension
workers, teachers and social workers. Butsi 1__/ volunteers would supervise
these cadres. Both the Butsi volunteers and the cadres would be trained in
methods of identification of existing and potential PCH cases, simple means
of nutrition education and procedures for ensuring efficient delivery of food
supplements. The cadres would check monthly the weight of children. Those
with unsatisfactory gains indicating existing and potential PCM cases then
1__/ Butsi volunteers are a type of Indonesian youth corps working in villages.
- 28 -
receive free food supplements based as far as feasible on locally produced
food. The malnourished pregnant and lactating mothers eligible for food
supplementation would be selected on the basis of agreed criteria, chief among
which would be low family income levels. Nutrition education emphasizing the
importance of adequate child feeding would accompany the food supplementation,
since in the long-run the teaching of better feeding is far more important
than the curative aspect of supplementary feeding programs. MCH personnel
also would visit the villages periodically to give immunizations and these
costs would be supported by the project. The project would strengthen ongoing
government programs for rural water supply in selected villages.
3.19 It is expected when NIPP becomes a national program the costs of
selective food supplementation and immunization in a typical village (popula
tion 3,000) would be around US$700 annually, amounting to annual per capita
costs of US$0.23. The Government expects that l ocal communities would
ultimately share in the costs of food supplement. 1./

3.20 Baseline data would be collected in the NIPP areas under the tech-
nical supervision of CRDN. CRDN would be responsible for surveying nutri
tional status and evaluating the results of nutritional and other activi
ties on both a midterm and final basis. These evaluations, which would
take into account both the nutritional and cost effectiveness of the var
ious nutrition interventions, would help to determine feasible replicability
and thus provide the basis for the formulation of a national food and nutri
tion program.
3.21 The Government would prepare a detailed plan of operations for
each NIPP Kabupaten indicating the villages to be selected and the plan
ning of various activities including particularly: arrangements for food
procurement; processing and distribution; program for selection and train
ing of village cadres; coordination of health activities; specific loca
tion of villages for supportive water supply programs; and agricultural
extension work related to establishment of village-home gardens, storage
and processing. These plans would be prepared at each Kabupaten headquarter
in consultation with the local nutrition committees approved by the provin
cial Bappeda (Planning Authority) and submitted to the Bappenas and the
Ministries of Health and Agriculture through the national coordinator of
NIPP. The first year of NIPP operation in each Kabupaten would be devoted
to preparing plans for operations, staff training, field trial of food sup
plements and procurement of equipment.
3.22 At the national level, NIPP would be managed by a coordinator in
the Ministry of Health; assisted by a provincial nutrition program officer
and an assistant nutrition program officer (ANPO) at Kabupaten level. The
- 30 -
coordination of the different agencies involved at Kabupaten level necessi
tates the A.~PO working under the administrative control of the Bupati, the
executive head of the Kabupaten.
3.23 Assurances would be sought from Government that:
3.24
(a) The plan of operations for the initial two NIPP Kabupatens would be submitted to the Bank for review prior to implementation.
(b) A review of the NIPP would be conducted at the end of the second year of operation with a view to detennining any necessary changes of program direction and content.
(c) The selection of new Kabupatens would be made in consultation with the Bank, according to criteria to be agreed with the Bank (see Annex 4 para. 7).
Action Program for Home/Village Gardens (US$0.5 million) : Increasing
the production and availability of nutritious vegetables and fruits through
intensification of home-gardens has been a part of the Applied Nutrition
Program . Such an improvement program would be an important aspect of NIPP
plans of operations, and would be implemented through the existing agricul
tural extension service, initially under NIPP management . In order to estab-
lish the necessary demonstration effect the program would be provided for
a 3 year period on a grant basis. Thereafter, the Government and the Bank
would review the results and in light of the findings determine whether this
subcocrponenc should be converted to a credit program to be administered under
BD1AS. 1__/ Assurances to this effect would be sought during negotiations. A
total of 18,000 individual farmers in the NIPP villages would receive an ini
tial supply of seeds and other inputs needed for home gardens. Comraunity
efforts would be mobilized through the Lurah and village nutrition cadres
1/ Recently, the Government expended the BD1AS program to commercially marketed vegetables on an experimental basis.
e
- 31 -
in setting up village gardens - for each village - on communally owned land.
A part of the output of these gardens would be used for food supplementation
of the nutritionally vulnerable groups. At the time of full project imple
mentation the additional production of vegetables from these home/village
gardens would reach a value of about US$500,000 annually.
3.25 The lack of improved vegetable seeds constitutes a severe con-
straint to production. The project would provide for imports of vegetable
seeds which would be tested during the first year of the project at the
Bogor Agricultural University before being used in the NIPP areas. The
Bogor Agricultural University, in cooperation with the Directorate General
of Food Crops and the ARD, would also undertake field testing of recently
developed model home/village garden packages, taking into account what is
agronomically and economically feasible as well as acceptable to small
farmers . The above institutions would also develop:
(i) a list of vegetables, tree crops , tubers and other plants that can be grown in home/village gardens of the different NIPP areas;
(ii) methods of laying out demonstration seed gardens which can be replicated in villages; and
(iii) training curricula and schedules for village extension workers.
Assurances would be sought from the Government that the Directorate General
of Food Crops, Hinistry of Agriculture, would allocate the necessary additional
extension staff to the selected NIPP areas.
3.26 Action Program for On-Farm and Village Level Storage (US$0.2 million):
The FTDC would, on the basis of a twelve month study, prepare an action
program for improved traditional storage on village level, using as far as
e
- 32 -
possible local materials. This program would be discussed in a seminar
in order to finalize details of implementation. This action program could
then be implemented in the seven NIPP Kabupatens during the remaining period.
3.27 Based on tentative cost estimates for providing village storage,
the project includes funding for the establishment of small-scale storage
units in those NIPP villages which have no storage facilities at present.
The total capacity of these units would be 300 tons. These units would be
on a pilot basis, varying in size from 1 to 10 tons, based on intermediate
technology and managed by the BUUD (local village cooperative). The storage
would be provided to the BUUD on a loan basis in accordance with the existing
credit terms under the Food Storage Program. Monitoring and evaluation of
this sub-component would be undertaken by the FTDC (see para. 3.12-3.15).
Anemia Prevention and Control Pilot Project - Plantations (US$0.2 million):
3 . 28 Nutritional anemia among plantation workers particularly due to
iron deficiency has been recognized as a main factor causing low labor pro
ductivity. The main objective of this component is to test the logis-
tical feasibility of establishing a delivery system for iron supplementation
with a view to ultimate replication on a national sale. This component
(detailed in Annex 5) would initiate an integrated program of attack on
nutritional anemia on three government owned plantations two in East Java each
with about 500 workers and one in North Sumatra, with about 1,000 workers,
taking full advantage of the plantation's system of medical and health care
facilities . The inclusion of 10 small, privately owned plantations, each
employing about 100 workers, located in South Sulawesi and West Sumatra
is planned at a later stage provided the Directorate of Occupational Health of
e
- 33 -
the Ministry of Manpower, Transmigration and Cooperatives can establish a
delivery and health system in these localities. It is expected that the
ultimate number of beneficiaries would be around 10,000. The activities in
the program would comprise of:
(i) the supply of iron pills to cure nutritional anemic plantation workers;
(ii) arrangements for tackling the problem of hookworm infection through medication and provision of shoes; and
(iii) arrangements for delivery of iron fortified salt to workers to ensure that an adequate iron level is maintained.
3.29 The CRDN would be in charge of baseline surveys and final eva-
luation. The scientific and technical design of the component would be the
responsibility of the CRDN and the National Institute for Industrial Hygiene
and Occupational Health (NILHOH) with close cooperation of the Directorate
General of Plantations, Hinistry of Agriculture . The actual field adminis
tration would be carried out by the Regional Institute of Industrial Hygiene
and Occupational Health (RILHOH). Both national and regional institutes are
under the General Directorate of Occupational Health, ~linistry of ~1anpower
Transmigration and Cooperation . The feasibility of the delivery system
proposed vis-a-vis the plantation administration and health clinics would be
evaluated. Initially, the iron supplementation would be given on grant basis
to the plantations, with average annual cost of less than US$1 per person.
If, as is expected, the increased labor productivity would be significantly
greater than the cost of iron supplementation and helminthic suppression, then
a general application of the measures would be initiated by government regula
tions with the individual estates bearing the cost. Assurances to this effect
- 34 -
would be sought during negotiations. In case the general application will
arise, NILHOH would have to be strengthened in order to initiate, implement
and monitor a national program. Provision has been made for such action.
Nutrition Communication and Behavioral Change (US$1.0 million)
3.30 The 1973 evaluation study of the Applied Nutrition Program found
that even in the better off families surveyed who were able to afford enough
food, 41 percent were deficient in both protein and calorie intake. This
finding gives an indication of the lack of knowledge about the use of avail
able food. Food habits relating to choice of foods, methods of preparing and
cooking foods, distribution of foods within the family, weaning practices and
feeding the sick child are likely to be responsible for the gap between food
availability and consumption. Attempts have been made in the past to improve
utilization of available foods through nutrition education, but conventional
nutrition education has not succeeded. Behavioral constraints are among the
critical factors bringing about improvement in nutritional status.
3.31 The general objective of this component (detailed in Annex 6) would
be to identify the most critical behavioral constraints and develop measures
to bring about desirable changes in nutritional behavior in the selected areas
for later replication on a national scale. Among the specific objectives
would be:
(i) to develop the know-how and skills required to overcome behavioral problems and implement remedial measures;
(ii) to reflect the above in the content of nutritional messages and to select the appropriate media mix to be used and the methods o operation;
- 35 -
(iii) to train village cadres as the contact personnel, sub-district staff to supervise them and technicians to handle the communications equipment;
(iv) to identify the contribution of mass media and prepare test material potentially useful for wider application;
(v) to develop feasible and replicable techniques as nutrition communication, for subsequent inclusion in the national nutrition plan.
Workshops, meetings and seminars at various administrative levels would be
required. Baseline information with respect to food habits and nutritional
status of the population would be used for planning the education program
and later for the evaluation of its effectiveness. This work would be car-
ried out by the CRDN. The immediate program would test the behavioral re
sponse of people to nutrition communication in one Kabupaten each of Central
Java, Yogyakarta and South Sumatra, one of which would be in a NIPP area.
These Kabupatens have been selected as Units for Community Development (UDKP)
under the second Development Plan. The three areas comprise of 36 villages
with about 110,000 direct beneficiaries.
3.32 The messages would be communicated through village cadres, the
utilization of audio-visual equipment and seminars. The component would
provide for tests of nutrition education messages, to ensure that messages
would be interpreted as intended. Village cadres, mostly women, would engage
in interpersonal communication with members of the communities. They would be
selected by the village people from among members of voluntary organizations
(PKK), i.e. community development workers, paramedical personnel or informal
leaders. One cadre would be responsible for 50 households, so that on average
- 36 -
each village would have 12 cadres. Three villages would be under one
Kabupaten supervisor who would also be responsible for the initial one month
training of cadres and for organizing periodic cadre meetings as a means to
feedback information. Also, the component would provide audio-visual equip
ment to simulate T.V. and radio broadcasts and their relative costs and
effectiveness would be evaluated. Through feedback from the use of this
equipment, "soft ware" of nutrition messages would be developed for subsequent
use in the national nutrition plan and for utilizing the mass communications
hardware provided through other government projects in education and extension
assisted by the Bank. Close liaison with the Office of Education Development,
Ministry of Education, would ensure that the nutritional soft ware would be
incorporated in the overall program for the communication satellite being
developed. The component would provide an educational technologist/ communi
cations consultant for one year to advise on the most efficient and effective
use of Indonesia's media (the type and quantity of various media to be used,
the staff and training required, the production facilities needed and the
necessary coordination mechanisms), as well as fellowships to train
specialists in communication techniques for nutrition education.
3.33 The component would be managed by the Chairman of the Center for
:Manpower Training, Ministry of Health, who would be project director and
would be assisted by a team of four full-time specialists in nutrition,
health, communications and administration.
Nutrition Manpower Training (US$1.5 million)
3.34 Training for Nutritionists: This component provides facilities
including additional equipment, building and staff to the Academy of Nucri
tion, the major nutrition school in Indonesia, to increase its output of
e
- 37 -
nutritionists from 25 to 60 graduates a year. The Academy gives three
years of training (beyond 12 years of basic education) in community nutri
tion and dietetics. Expanding the Academy would help to bridge the antici
pated gap of 400 nutritionists between the estimated demand, by 1985, of
750 nutritionists and availability of around 350 . Financing would be pro
vided for two teaching laboratories, a library and an audio-visual room and
related facilities and equipment as well as fellowships for development and
training of existing staff and those to be newly recruited. The curriculum
of the Academy, which is currently undergoing revision, would be further
improved taking into account the advice of the CRDN and FTDC and the expe
rience of the NIPP and nutrition education components . (In addition, the
components relating to CRDN, FTDC, NIPP and Nutrition Education include all
training elements for diffe rent levels of technical personnel, as part of
staff development. Particularly, the training activities contemplated as
part of NIPP would cover nearly 2,000 village cadres).
3 . 35 Training for Agriculture Extension Staff: To improve the effec-
tiveness of the agriculture extension staff in the field of nutrition pro
visions would be made for inclusion of nutrition and home gardens into the
curricula of the agricultural high schools and the agricultural training and
extension centers. Substantive agreement has been reached with the Agency
for Education, Training and Extension (AETE) of the Ministry of Agriculture
to work out detailed curricula . Agreement has been reached that training
of extension workers specializing in home gardens in the NIPP areas will
be undertaken through the Rural Extension Center (REC) und e r the Directorate
General for Food Crops, ninistry of Agriculture . This subcomponent would
- 38 -
finance only the incremental cost of the AETE and the REC for curriculum
development, equipment and recruitment of instructors. Annex 7 contains
the details of this component.
Technical Assistance and Fellowships (USS2.8 million)
3.36 The project would provide a total of about 35 man-years of technical
assistance estimated to cost US$1.6 million, financed under different components.
(Detailed terms of reference for consultants are included in the relevant
Annexes.) For CRDN and FTDC experts in the fields of community nutrition, food
policy, nutrition research and food technology would be provided. Consultancies
for nutrition education would include assistance for preparation of training
manuals and advice on nutrition communication. A training consultant would
advise on the training of the large number of village cadres. At project
management level, a project specialist would advise the project director on
the integrated operation of different components of the project, their monitor
ing and evaluation. The project also provides 24 man months of consultancy
to assist the Government in the preparation of a national food and nutrition
~ plan (see para 3.38). Two man-years of consultancy would be provided to
strengthen the food and nutrition unit set up under the Planning Bureau
of the Xinistry of Agriculture (see Annex 8b). Such technical assistance
would focus also on the inclusion of nutritional considerations in national
agricultural policy planning. Of particular significance would be the options
for increasing high calorie, nutritious food within present and future re-
source constraints.
3.37 Fellowships included in the project would provide for training of
44 Indonesian experts either locally or abroad in nutrition and food tech
nology. Short-term study tours are also provided under the nutrition educa-
tion component for seven staff members.
- 39 -
Preparation of a National Food and Nutrition Plan
3.38 The experience gained in the implementation and evaluation of the
proposed project would be the basis for the formulation of a national food
and nutrition plan for inclusion in the Third National Development Plan,
starting in 1980. The Project Director, assisted by staff in the monitoring
and evaluation unit and consultants provided under technical assistance,
would be in charge of the plan preparation. In this task, he would draw on
the contributions of the CRDN (with respect to evaluation of the nutritional
effectiveness of various components), the FTDC (with respect to evaluation
and formulation of storage and processing activities), and the Food and
Nutrition Unit in the Ministry of Agriculture (with respect to the nutritional
aspects of agricultural policies and projects). The evaluation of different
components of the project would help develop national replicable and cost
effective nutrition delivery systems. Studies included under monitoring and
evaluation would focus on design of agricultural and industrial policies and
programs to optimise nutritional benefits to the vulnerable sections of the
lower 40 percent of Indonesia's population. The planning staff of the
Project Director would utilize these studies and the contributions of CRDN,
FTDC and FNU to develop a national program to be presented through the
Technical Commission to the Ministerial Committee. The final draft of the
national food and nutrition plan would be reviewed by BAPPENAS in consultation
with the Bank.

IV. COSTS, FINANCING, PROCUREMENT AND DISBURSEMENTS
4.01 Project Costs: Total project costs, including contingencies, are
estimated at US$26.0 million equivalent. Cost estimates by expenditure cate
gories are given in Table 2 and by component in Table 3. Details are in
Annex 10.
4.02 Cost estimates are updated to June 1976 prices. All operating costs
are incremental. Physical contingencies have been applied at a rate of 10 per
cent to all civil works and at 5 percent to all other items. The provision
for expected price contingencies has been computed based on the following
projection of inflation rates:

Project Financing: Project costs would be financed by an IBRD loan
of US$13 million covering the foreign exchange costs and 10 percent of local
costs of the project. The remaining US$13 million would be financed by the
Government of Indonesia.
4 .04 Procurement: l./ Civil works contracts in excess of US$ 1.0 million
mainly for construction of research and training facilities at the CRDN, the
FTDC and the Nutrition Academy (US$5 . 9 million) -- would be awarded on the basis
of international competitive bidding in accordance with the Bank's guidelines.
l_/ Costs in this section are shown without physical and price contingencies.
- 41 -
Contracts below this amount would be awarded on the basis of competitive
bidding, advertised locally, with no restriction on foreign bidding, and in
accordance with normal government procedures which are satisfactory to the
Bank. For purpose of bid comparison for civil works contracts, local contrac
tors would receive a preference of 7-1/2 percent. Indonesia has a viable
local contracting industry and it is expected that local contractors would win
all bids for civil works. ·Research and information equipment (US$2.5 million)
is specialized in character and service after sales is of critical importance.
Contracts for equipment, including furniture, which cannot reasonably be
grouped in packages of at least US$50,000 equivalent, subject to an aggregate
total of US$3.4 million equivalent, could be procured on the basis of competi
tive bidding based on local advertisement and in accordance with normal
government procedures, which are satisfactory to the Bank. Contracts in
excess of US$50,000 would be awarded on the basis of international competitive
bidding, in accordance with the Bank's guidelines; domestic manufacturers
would be allowed a preferential margin of 15 percent, or the existing customs
duty, whichever is the lower, over the c.i.f. price of competing imports.
With respect to vehicles (US$520,000), procurement would be on the basis of
international competitive bidding, subject to Bank guidelines. Assurances
would be sought during negotiations that the Government issues a formal waiver
of the current restriction on import of vehicles, so far as the proposed
project equipment is concerned. For the start-up of the project ten automo
biles would be procured locally for which finance up to 40 percent of local
costs would be provided. Selection of consultants paid for by the project
would be made in accordance with Bank guidelines.
4.05 Disbursements: The loan would meet 50 percent o f the project costs.
Disbursement would be made on the following basis:
e
- 42 -
(a) 100 percent of costs for both foreign and local consultants and fellowships;
(b) 100 percent of the c.i.f. value of directly imported equipment, library supplies and furniture, 95 percent of the ex-factory price of equipment manufactured locally, and 65 percent of imported equipment procured locally;
(c) 100 percent of the c.i.f. value of imported vehicles, and 40 percent of the total cost of vehicles procured locally; and
(d) 80 percent of civil works expenditures.
Undisbursed funds would be available for reallocation to other components or
activities related to project, contingent on Bank approval. Expenditures for
consultant architects incurred after October 1975 would be financed retroactively
from the proposed loan up to a total of US$50,000 equivalent, the estimated
disbursement schedule is shown in Annex 12.
4.06 Accounts and Audit: Each of the project entities would maintain
separate accounts of expenditures under the project, which would be audited
annually by the government auditors according to standard practice. The Pro
ject Director would maintain accounts of his own expenditures under the pro-
ject together with statements of project expenditures by participating enti-
ties. Copies of audited accounts of project expenditures would be forwarded
to the Bank by the Project Director within four months of the end of each fis
cal year . Assurances would be sought during negotiations that these proce-

V. ORGANIZATION AND MANAGEMENT
A. Project Organization (See Annex 7)
5 . 01 Each of the components of the project would be implemented within
the existing organizational structure of Government. The CRDN in the Ministry
of Health, and the FTDC in the Ministry of Education, would be administered by
their respective directors, assisted by financial and procurement staff. Both
institutes would laise closely and would coordinate their work with the Agency
for (Agricultural) Research and Development (ARD), the Directorate General of
Food Crops and the Agency for (Agricultural) Training and Extension (AETE).
To this end, a Research Coordinating Board of Directors would be established.
It would report annually to the Technical Commission of the Ministerial
Committee. The Directors of CRDN and FTDC would assume chairmanship in
rotation. Membership would include a representative of BAPPENAS, of the
Ministries of Agriculture, Health and Industry; a sociologist from IPB; and a
representative from the Directorate General of Food Crops and the AETE so that
problems of implementation and extension would be brought to the notice of the
research institutes. Provision has been made under technical assistance for
international experts . Assurances would be sought during negotiations that
the Board would be set up no later than August 1, 1977 on terms and conditions
satisfactory to the Bank and that annual progress reports of research activi
ties be sent to the Bank.
5.02 The NIPP component would be administered at the national level by 2
Coordinator stationed in the Ministry of Health, whose staff would include three
assistant nutrition program officers. The Coordinator would report directly to
the Director General of Community Health, Ministry of Health. In each province
- 46 -
where NIPP would operate, the Governor of the Province would be responsible
for the coordination and implementation of the nutrition program. At the
Kabupaten level, the Bupatis who are under the overall supervision of the
Ministry of Interior, would be responsible for management and control of
NIPP activities.
5.03 The Anemia Prevention and Control Project for plantations would be
administered in the field by NILHOH through delegation to RILHOHs, each
of which would work in close collaboration with the Directorate General
of Plantations, Ministry of Agriculture. The training and nutrition educa
tion component would be the responsibility of the Chairman for the Center
of Manpower Training in the Ministry of Health. All civil works involved in
the proposed project would be implemented through the engineering organization
of the Ministry of Health.
5.04 The overall coordination of the project would rest with the Direc-
tor General of Community Health in the Ministry of Health, the designated
Project Director. The Project Director would be assisted by a full-time pro
ject manager, designated as Executive Secretary, a Deputy Executive Secretary
and special staff for finance and procurement. A separate Monitoring and
Evaluation Unit consisting of two planning officers would also report to the
Executive Secretary. The Project Director and his staff would be able co
draw on the services of a part-time panel of experts. In addition, the pro
ject provides a full-time management expert to assist the Project Director in
the first two years of the project. To ensure the full cooperation of the
Ministries of Interior, Education and Agriculture, a part-time co-director
will be nominated from each of these ministries to work in close cooperation
with the Project Director in identifying and solving problems of interminis
terial coordination.
- 47 -
s.os The Project Director would be responsible for (i) monitoring the
progress of the project, (ii) ensuring interministerial and agency coordina
tion, and (iii) coordinating the activities of the different components. He
would ensure also the provision of adequate appropriations under the different
ministerial budgetary requests and coordinate the flow of funds to various
project entities. The Project Director would have the responsibility for
making withdrawal requests to the Bank. The Project Management Specialist
provided under technical assistance would assist the Project Director in
reviewing the annual budget provisions. Assurances would be sought during
negotiations that the Government would finalize the annual budget provisions
for the various components in consultation with the Bank.
5.06 The current Director General of Community Health, a person with
excellent managerial capabilities and the administrator of the successful
rural health program will be the first Project Director. Subsequent Project
Directors, the project manager and coordinator of NIPP would be appointed
after prior consultation with the Bank. Assurances to this effect would be
sought during negotiations.
B. Monitoring and Evaluation (See Annex 8)
Progress of Components-Monitoring
5.07 To ensure that implementation of the project meets the prescribed
goals, data on key indicators of progress would be reported monthly to the
Project Director by each Project Officer. These reports would be reviewed by
the Monitoring and Evaluation Unit and recommendations would be made to the
Executive Secretary who would initiate remedial action. The formats of
- 48 -
the reports would be designed in such a manner as to help analyse the extent
of progress in critical areas of work and act as early warning signals of
delay. Each Project Officer would indicate in his report to the Project
Director the types of action taken at his level to anticipate, correct and
avoid slippages. Once a quarter, the Project Director would conduct a meeting
of project officers and other agencies concerned with implementation, with a view
to removing bottlenecks and ensuring coordination. The Project Director would
be responsible for the preparation of semi-annual reports to the BAPPENAS,
the Ministries of Health, Agriculture and People's Welfare, and to the Bank .
These reports would cover particularly, the progress of civil works, procure
ment, recruitment and training of key personnel, research on village-level
storage and processing and implementation of field-level activities on the
NIPP and the plantation components. Assurances to this effect would be
sought during negotiations.
Experimental Evaluation
5.08 One of the important aspects of the project concerns the evaluation
of effectiveness of different combinations of activities in NIPP areas in
improving the effectiveness of different combinations of nutritional status
and of the delivery system for iron supplementation in plantations in order to
raise labor productivity. This technical evaluation would be carried out
by experts of CRDN, in particular, the Divisions of Community Nutrition and
Socioeconomics. CRDN would design the initial, baseline, intermediate and
final sample surveys of nutritional status and supervise the data collection.
Similarly, CRDN and sociological experts of the Agricultural University,
Bogar, would assist in designing and carrying out surveys of nutritional
behavioral responses to the nutrition education tests proposed in the project.
- 49 -
5.09 The Research Coordinating Board would evaluate the research programs
of the CRDN and FTDC and advise on redirection of resources, where necessary,
to high priority problem areas.
Program Evaluation
5.10 Program evaluation would be undertaken directly by the Monitoring and
Evaluation Unit under the Project Director, with assistance from consultants,
both local and foreign.l_/ The resources of CRDN and FTDC would also be
available for this purpose. Studies to be undertaken would include:
(a) Review and analysis of project results, based on actual costs, with a view to formulate a national food and nutrition program.
(b) Review of the operational significance and costs of research programs initiated and carried out by CRDN and FTDC, with special emphasis on replicability of findings.
(c) Relationships between nutrition and productivity.
(d) Development of food processing and its effect on employment.
5.11 The results of both the experimental and program evaluation which
would be made available to the Bank through the Project Director, would be the
basis on which the Project Director would prepare proposals for a national
food and nutritional program for consideration by the Technical Commission and
BAPPENAS.
1./ An advisory panel of experts is provided for under the project, to advise the Project Director.

VI. BENEFITS AND JUSTIFICATION
6.01 By the end of the second year of project operations, the Project
Director would have prepared recommendations to Government on the most effec
tive activities for inclusion in the national food and nutrition program of
the Third Development Plan (1979-84). These recommendations would be based
on the monitoring and evaluation results of the various nutrition activities
applied in the Kabupatens designated as NIPP areas and other project compo
nents. By the end of the three-year operational NIPP period in each selected
village, the incidence of PCM would be sought to be reduced by 60 percent of
the initial rate, infant mortality reduced by 20 percent. In the plantations
the incidence of nutritional anemia is expected to be reduced by 60 percent. l./
Coverage would also be offered to combat vitamin A and iodine deficiencies.
6.02 By the end of the project period, the CRDN and FTDC would be fully
established and oriented towards their primary role of problem solving. The
CRDN would have a professional staff of 44, and the FTDC would have 23 profes-
sionals. Both institutions would have teaching functions in addition to their
applied research. The Nutrition Academy would be training students at the
rate of 60 graduates per year to the Bachelor of Science level for service
in institutions including CRDN as well as in community nutrition activities.
6 . 03 It is also expected that theoretical and practical training in
program management would have been given by the CRDN and the Academy of
Nutrition to 64 nutrition program officers and assistant nutrition program
officers . At a lower level, 183 village assistant program officers and about
2,600 members of cadres for nutrition extension services would have been
trained .
1/ The attainment of these targets will be monitored with the reference to the results of the baseline surveys.
e
- 51 -
6.04 The Food and Nutrition Unit to be set up in the Ministry of Agri-
culture is expected to be fully operational and staffed by the end of the pro
ject period. It is anticipated that this unit will have become instrumental
in assessing and including nutritional considerations into agricultural plan
ning.
6.05 An operationally feasible program for improved village-level food
storage and village-level food processing would also have been designed,
implemented and evaluated with a view to replication on a national scale
within a year after the end of the project period . In addition, arrangements
would have been set up for coordination of research programs in agricultural
food technology and nutrition research institutions with other agricultural
research institutes. Possible results would include improved crop varieties
with nutritionally desirable qualities, more efficient techniques of food
processing and storage, and methods for fortification of Indonesia's foods
with necessary micro- nutrients . Also, techniques of nutrition education using
traditional and new media would have been tested in the field and the national
nutrition education campaign would have better tools to work with. Competent
nutritionists trained in the Academy would be available to extend community
nutrition activities. Agricultural extension staff would have been trained
in the areas of nutrition and homegardening which would improve the effective
ness of the extension system, particularly for those in rural areas who are
not so well off.
6.06 In the NIPP areas, production and effective availability of nutri-
tious foods would have been increased through home gardens, better storage
and processing. A simplified nutrition surveillance system together with
- 52 -
improved health care would have been established in these villages. In the
selected plantations an effective delivery system for iron supplementation
would be established. The monitoring and evaluation of the alternative
measures in the NIPP areas and in the plantations would lead to recommenda
tions on the most effective nutrition activities for incorporation in the
food and nutrition plan of the Third Development Plan to commence in 1980.
6.07 In the short run, the proposed project would strengthen Indonesia's
institutional capacity to determine and analyze the nature and dimensions of
the national nutrition problem and to develop means of optimizing the use of
national food resources as prerequisites to preparing and implementing a na
tional nutrition action program. Bank support would help in institutionalizing
and effective approach to coordination, execution and evaluation of this
effort and the resulting nationwide nutrition program to be developed for
inclusion in the next Development Plan.
6.08 Implementation of the nutrition strategy developed through the pro-
ject would bring long-run benefits by optimizing the use of food resources
and increasing the productivity and therefore the income of those whose mal
nutrition is a direct result of their poverty. Food availability would be
raised through coordination with programs intended co expand production of
staple foods for local consumption, and through improved means of village
level food storage and processing. To insure that this food avilability
benefits the poorest, requires not only that appropriate agricultural distri
bution arrangements be adopted but also that the poor are educated as to their
nutritional needs and how most economically to meet them . This is a major
objective of the project. Because nutrition activities would be part of a
- 53 -
broader development program in the Development Plan which is designed to
generate employment, enhancing the productive capacity of a better-nourished
population would be increasingly well-utilized and would allow the poor to
raise their incomes and become nutritionally more self-sufficient.
6.09 The proposed project is intended to reach the poorest segment of
the population, and within that group to concentrate on those most vulner
able to malnutrition. Benefits from project activities directed at infants
and pre-school children, pregnant and lactating women, while having the
longest lead-time and being the most difficult to measure, nonetheless
have the greatest impact in improving the quality of human capital formation
(see para. 2.03). The returns to these preventive measures would derive
from:
(a) the improved quality and productivity of Indonesia's work force;
(b) the better utilization of Indonesia's education system by a healthier group of students; and
(c) better utilization of the health system.
The higher rate of survival of children also leads to a more suitable atmos
phere for effective family planning campaigns and may, in the long run,
reduce desired family size.
6.10 In addition to the project benefits which are national in scope,
o ther immediate side-benefits can be expected in NIPP areas. The NIPP opera
tions build on existing nutrition information and activities, but differ from
ongoing programs in respect to the magnitude of population covered, the range
of inputs and design of baseline and final surveys. An important benefit of
these operations would be:
- 54 -
(i) rehabilitation of over 30,000 children affected by PCM in 180 villages;
(ii) exposure of about 100,000 families to nutrition education, including 45,000 pregnant women and lactating mothers (of these 17,000 would receive food supplements);
(iii) immunization of 100,000 children from infectious
6. 11
diseases;
(iv) establishment of village storage and processing units; and
(v) establishment of 18,000 home and village gardens in 180 villages.
The project reflects the importance of women in development,
both as beneficiaries of services provided and as staff of those project
components providing the services. The majority of the village cadre
personnel in the NIPP component would be women.
6. 12 Specific benefits would also accrue from coordination of the pro-
posed project with ongoing projects, which helps to establish two types of
linkages between nutrition and economic development in Indonesia. The
first is in the field of food production and handling -- better utilizing
available food resources based on regional and national needs for nutri
tional 'inputs.' The Bank has an active lending program in this field
suitable for linkage with nutrition planning (see paragraphs 3.05-3.09).
The other is increasing human productive capacity following from improved
nutrition and the resulting increase in output which is derived by imple
menting various programs in che Development Plan. This productivity is a
nutritional 'output' which allows for accelerated development and, in large
measure, to a minimizing of constraints to self sustained nutritional improve-
ment. The proposed project is the link between these elements, providing
necessary additional inputs to insure nutritional improvement (food processing
- 55 -
and storage, education and technical capacity building, health and environ
mental services, food supplements to the poorest) and providing the groundwork
for a national nutrition plan as part of the Third Development Plan to insure
that the best use is made of the increasing human productive capacity result
ing from better nutrition.
6.13 The proposed project carries an inherent risk because it is in an
innovative and pioneering field. A risk specific to this project arises from
the fact that its implementation involves many ministries and their coordinated
actions. The Government, however, is now deeply convinced of the need to
strengthen interministerial coordination and has decided to set up a flexible
organizational structure to meet the demands of such a project. While the
components are being handled within the existing administrative structure,
their coordination will be secured through interministerial committees with
adequate secretarial support. The risks of the project are acceptable in
view of the substantial short and long-term benefits expected of this project.
VII. RECOMMENDATIONS
7.01 During negotiations, t he following principal assurances will be
sought:

Nutritional Statu::, and Food Habits
1. Indonesici., with the fifth highest popul.:i.tion in the world, has a
lmict area of 575,000 square niles, consisting of thousands of inhabited islm1os
covering one eight of the world 1 s circumference. Hhile rr.c.jor cultural and
ecological differences exist between the various regions, there are colTI!7lon
nutrition3l problens: protein- calorie malnutrition (PCII), vitam:i..~ A deficiency,
ioc.ine deficiency ancJ nutritional anemia .
Protein-C~lorie :fuinutrition
2. 32.sed on the ava;lable data on nutritionzl status, food consu.~ption
and food production, widespread protein- calorie :.:i2.lnutrition is manifest. The
severe .fom, affecting 2-5 percent of yo1mg children ranges across the spactruJ1
of protein-calorie ::-i2lnutri tion from Z::1-iashior.co# at one extre:':'le to i.·'12.rasmas.Y
at the other. Kwashior.:or is due to a qumtitative or qU2.litative deficiency
of prote:i..~, but calorie ;ntake may be adequate (e.g . where cassaYa is the
staple). E2ras::;;us is due to a contin.ued re:::t:'iction of both calories and proteiI1,
as ·well 2.s other nutrien-c,s.
1/ In 1933, Dr. Cecily Williams first described this form of PCM'. She called it by its local Ghanaian name - Kwash:i.orkor, which means "the siclmess the deposed child gets when the new baby is born 11
, indicating the result of sudden weaning. The n~~e has been accepted in medicine. In ~ashiorkor there is a failure to thrive, loss of appetite, diarrhoea, oedema and a ~neralized unhappiness or apathy; a characteristic dermati ti tis, 11 flaky-paint" is usually present and the hair is often sparse and thin.
ll Marasmas is derived from the Greek word meaning waste and is the childhood equivalent of starvation in adults. In Harasmus there is failure to thrive, irritability and fretfulness; most infants suffering from Marasmus are ravenously hungry.

.ANNEX 1 Page 2
In Indonesia,the majority of the PCM cAses are of the marasmic type. In all
manifestations of PCM, failure of growth is the first and most important
sign. The severe cases require hospitalization and, despite skilled treat
ment, the mortality rate is significant.
3. For every severe case of PCM, there are many more cases which are
mild or moderate, in which individuals are underweight or undersized due to
dietary deficiency. Apart from delayed physical development, such children
are at great risk and liable to develop severe forms of PCM if they suffer
gastro-intestinal or respiratory disease or infections such as measles
tuberculosis or malaria. PCM, affecting young children, increases morbidity
and mortality rates, retards the physical growth of survivors and impairs
mental development. In Indonesia, the infant mortality rate ranges between
110-150 per thousand, compared to a rate of 38 in neighboring Malaysia and 68
per thousand in the Philippines. Indonesia's high i.11fa.rit r.1ortality rate is, to :1
great e).'"tent, tha result of the heavy incidence of PCM . .Among children under five percent
years of age, 30 / or around 7 million are estimated to suffer from some
degree of PCM. In addition, about half of lactating mothers (about 5.7 :cJilli:Jn)
appear to be affected by PCM.
Vitamin A Deficiency
4. The incidence of vitamin A deficiency, first noted in the 1930 1 s
is in Indonesia among the highest in the world, particularly among children.
Xerophthalmia,1/ which competes with trachomaS/ as a cause of blindness
1/ Xerosis means abnormal dryness of the eye or skin . Xerophthalmia covers the whole range of ocular changes , from mild local or generalized xerosis of the conjunctiva to the most severe type involving the cornea.
II Trachoma is a chronic, contagious conjunctivitis marked by inflammatory granulations on the conjunc~ival surfaces and caused by the microorganism chlamydia trachomatis.
I -4t
ANNEX 1 Page 3
is due to prolonged vitamin A deficiency. An xerophthalmia
percentage of 3.1 was recorded for 375,000 eye patients reporting to health
clinics throughout Indonesia during 1972. A study cor::'bcted :in the 1960J{h.'J1-1::; that
blindness caused by vitamin A deficiency in East Java is 250 per 100,000.
The incidence of xerophthalmia among children has been found to be 4 - 5 percent in
rural Java with rates of up to 22 percent in urban squatter areas.
5. The serious incidence of vitamin A deficiency led to the implemen-
tation during 1973/74 of a pilot project to distribute high dosage vitamin A
capsules in selected areas of Java to children between 12 and 48 months of age.
Ho1-1e7er, ,1 natiom1ide progran for vitrunin A capsule distribution proved to be
too costly. :In addition, intake of vita.'7lin A capsules is only a short
term solution. In the long run, efforts are needed to increase the
consumption of foods rich in caroten~/ and to remove the prejudice and lack
of lmowledge which limits the use of available supplies of green leafy
vegetables.
Iodine Deficiency
6. The p:cevalence of goiter, caused by iodine deficiency, has long
been recognized. In the early stages, goiter may cause no symptoms,
but untreated goiter causes difficulty in breathing, coughing and voice changes.

2/ Carotene is a yellow pigment, which exists in several forms; they are converted into vitamin A during metabolism.
.ANNEX 1 Page L.
Surveys undertaken in 197~/ in the provinces of North and West Sumatra, East
Java and Bali, indicated a high incidence of goiter (60 to 80 percent) among the
children surveyed. Based on the results of 35 studies of endemic goiter,it
has been estimated.£/ that at least 10 million people are affected by goiter,
100,000 by cretinism and 500,000 in early stages of cretinism. Cretinism,
as a result of severe iodine deficiency, manifests itself through a wide
range of symptoms: mental retardation, impaired physical develooment (short
stature), deafness, dea.f-mutism and neurological abnormalities.
Nutritional Anemia
7. The widespread existence of nutritional anemia, mostly due to iron
deficiency has been recognized in Indonesia only recently. Prior to 1970,
investigations on nutritional anemia had been confined to pregnant wcmen in
hospitals. Joi::it studies by the Bank and the Indonesian Nutrition Research
Institute undertaken in 19731/ revealed that Indonesia has the highest country
incidence (28-52 percent) of nutr-i.tional anemia ever recorded in a :.r.ale po~:1.tic:i.
except during famine conditions. The study concluded that a major factor
likely to affect productivity of the labor force is anemia caused by iron
deficiency.

level as the non-anemic ·tlorlcers, an :improvement of about 20 percent.
Food Patte:rns and Habits1f
9. Unmixed white rice is the preferred basic food m Indonesia. Where rice
is not available m sufficient quantities or is too costly, the basic food
becor1es a mixture of rice and com, cassava or sweet potatoes. The ma:i.n source
of an:imtl protem is salted and dried fish . Li. most !)arts of Indonesia, meat and
eggs are not consumed daily; :in Central and East Java, consumption of an:i.ma.l protein
is the lowest. Although pulses are the most readily available source of protein,
they are, together with other vegetable protem, not consumed frequen~ly. Especially
:in Java, legume products are popular: tempe, a soybean cake, talm wh:.ch is a
soybean curd and oncom i'tmgus fermented crushed pearruts. Leaves of cassava, sweet
potato, papaya, edible shrubs and trees fonn part of the menu; they are not
specially cultivated for their leaves, which are not a cash crop. Fruits are
consuned in season, provided there remains a surplus ai'ter sellmg.
10. Food consumption patterns, besides being affected by income, are :i.-rifluenced
by sex, age, festivals, customs, taboos, attitudes to food and e..~ernal :i.n.:luences.
Ritual :::eals relate to the life cycle of the :ind.i viou2.l,

ANNEX 1 Page 6
to Moslem and Hindu-Dharrna religious festivals
and to events related to the agricultural cycle. Such occasions call for
elaborate meals, during Nhich the men are accorded priority in consumption.
11. Contrary to the custom in many countries, children are given
priority when only a small amount of a side dish is available. Women are
the most deprived and are further restricted by custom, taboos and beliefs.
If young un~arried girls eat ilcon leleh (a cat fish) it is believed they will
have irregularity in menstruation. They are also prohibited from eating
fruits such as large bananas, papaya and pineapple, which are believed to
influence sexual relations when married. In most areas pregnant women do not
eat pineapples for fear of constipation, miscarriage or difficult childbirth;
in others, bananas which have grown together, banana flowers, buffalo meat
and cured fish are prohibited. Nursing mothers are required to exercise
particular care in what they eat. The mother is not allowed to eat food
that the infant should not eat: meat, eggs, fish and some fruits and
vegetables. Fried soybean is supposed to cause an eye disease while fresh
fish may result in the baby beccming sickly.
12. Few taboos relate to males, but men are not supposed to eat egg-
plant. Because of the influence of Islam, most Indonesia.~s are prohibited
from eating pork.
13. Breastfeeding is still widely practised; those who cannot nurse
their babies, because of lack of milk, find it shameful and are apologetic
about it. Weaning occurs between the first and second year but may be later.
In addition to their own milk, mothers normally provide a supplement
ANNEX 1 Page 7
consisting of soft mashed rice or banana. After the second year no special
food is prepared for the child, who then shares the family meal. Green because
vegetables are disliked by children, partly/ they are not cooked in an
attractive way, but also because mothers do not persevere in introducing
new foods to young children.
14, High status foods are white rice, meat, chicken,eggs, spinach,
cabbage, longbeans, big fish and bean sprouts, but they are regarded as
be:L~g suitable only for special guests or special occasions. Low status
foods are bulgur, cassava, salted/dried fish, corn, mixed rice, and sweet
potato leaves are eaten on a daily basis and are regarded as being unfit to
serve to guests.
15, In changing food habits, the role of locally prestigious persons
would be cruci al for acceptance and adoption. Those with most infl uence
are village officials and religious leaders.

PROTEIN-CALORIE REOUIRE11ENTS
ANNEX 1 Appendix l Page 1
1. The protein requirements of an adult can be experimentally
determined from the losses of nitrogen, when fed with a nitrogen free diet,
From a study of such data, a joint F AO/WHO Expert-Group, which met in
1971,1/ arrived at a figure of 0.57 g/kg for adult males and 0.52 g/kg for
adult females as the safe intake level of egg protein or protein from cow's
milk. For Indonesian males, weighing on an average of SO kg, this represents
28.S g of egg protein; for females, weighing on an average of L.3 kg, this represents
22 .36 g.
2. Diets are not made up of one p!"otein, but a combination of many
proteins. An adjustment is necessary for the quality of the protein
combL.,ation in the diet. In Indonesia, the quality of the protein in the percent 2/
diet would be about 70/ of the quality of egg protein.- Allowing for this, , 00
the protein requirement for men becomes 40.7 g (~ x 28.S) and for women
31,9 g (lQQ X 28,S). 70
3. The same Expert Group made recommendations for energy :-equirements
of a moderately active adult on the basis of 46 calories/kg/day for men and male
for women 40 calories/kg/day, i.e., 2,300 calories per adult/and 1,720 nercent
calories per adult female. An additional 17/ calories per day are required
for hard work.
11 Energy and Protein Regiirements, FAO Nutrition Meetings Report, Series No. 22., 1973,
II Protein quality depends on the presence of all essential amino acids in adequate amounts. It is related to the net protein utilization (NPU), which is the proportion of ingested nitrogen (N) that is retained in the body under specified conditions. The ~-PU of a mixed Indonesian diet is likely to be about 70,
ANNEX 1 Appendix 1 Page 2
Proteins are essential for growth; they provide the amino acids
for tissue synthesis and the raw materials for the formation of digestive
juices, vitamins, hormones and enzymes. In addition, in the event of calorie
shortage, the available protein is pre-empted for energy purposes; each gram
of protein can supply about 4 calories of energy.
5. By determining the percentage of calories that may be derived from
protein, it is possible to judge the q_uali ty of a diet with respect to
protein. For Indonesian men, using the above-quoted figures it would be
7,08% (4~:io~ 4 x 100) and for women 7,42% (3i:~2~ 4 x 100). Based on the
recommendations of the Expert Group, a diet in which the protein/calories
ratio is more than eight should be a safe level of protein . Some nutritionists
consider that the experimental bas~s for this recommendation may not have
revealed metabolic changes which might be undetected in an experimental study
of short duration and believe that et least lO percent of the energ:1 should be

INDONESIA NUTRITION DEVELOPMENT PROJECT
Food Technology Develcroment Center
ANNEX 3 Page 1
1. Food self-sufficiency is Indonesia's national objective, but the efforts
to increase food production have not yet matched the demand for food resulting
from income and population growth. The problem is intensified by food wastage,
estimates of which range up to 25 percent, and by the constraint on arable
land, especially on Java, where the population density is about 600 per square km.
While sufficient food production is the role of agriculture, the responsibility
e Of food technology is to optimize food utilization a..11d nutritional YalUe Of a
given level of agricultural production. In Indonesia the introduction of food
te~hnology geared at preserving perishables, reducing food wastage during storage,
processing and marketing, and improving the nutritional quality of foods would have
a beneficial impact on food utilization and on nutritional quality of food.
2. Over 80 percent of the population of Indonesia live in the rural areas
dispersed in about 60,000 villages. fo the current development plan, emphasis
is given to rural development programs. The application of food technolog'J in the
rural areas should concentrate on methods which use local resources and require
very low cost equipment. Modern food technology would have to be adapted in scale
and in sophistication to the circumstances prevailing in fodonesia and this is
presently constrained by the shortage of professional staff and adequate facilities.
Present Status of Training, Research and Develcpment in Food Technology
J. Little research activity in either food science or food technology is
currently in progress in fodonesia. The centers of research in this field are
primarily:
( a) The Chemical Research Institute of the Department of Industry at Begor

These are o.11 snc:'.11-scale pilot studies. Further research as .. ,ell as
additional labo::'cltory equipnent, pi2.ot pl&n:., 2nd research staff ~mule~ be
required to arrive at practical solutions for :L~plenentation :in :'Ural

and legumes and studies on the production of tempeh, a local product from
soybean fermentation.
(e) The Institute of Technology, Bandung, is investigating the production
of weaning foods based on soybeans, using small-scale extruder equipment.
4. At none of the centers discussed above are the facilities, the range of
equipment and staff establishment sufficiently oriented to develop practical solutions
for problems of food technology. Since 1970, IPB has produced 51 graduates
specializing in food technology; Gajah Mada has been training approximately 30
students per year. At both centers the facilities for practical training in food
technology are still inadequate and training is geared toward industrial processing
of cash crops, with little emphasis on improving the nutritional value of food.
5. The Agricultural Research and Extension Project, supported by a Bank Loan
includes aspects of food technology relating to rice, fruit and vegetables. The
focus of this project relates to the production and marketing of commercial crops,
but the results of the project could have great impact on the quality and
quantity of food w-ailable for consumption. The work of the FTDC, oriented as
it would be t>wards nutritional benefits through the application of food tech-
nology, would be complementa.r-J to the project. There would be subjects of
mutual interest such as rice milling, which would require collabcrat.ion to avoid
duplication. The pilot plant of the FTDC (see para 34) should be able to provide
facilities for testing techniques developed in agricultural research institutions
as well as elsewhere for industrial application.
Component. Description and Objectives
6. The general objective of the proposed food technolog,J component lJ t(} build
up an insti tution in order to mobilize available scientific and technical
knowledge to improve the use of food resources, particularly in rural areas . A
Food Technology Development Center at Bogar, associated with the Agricul t ural
University, would be established and staffed through the proposed comnonent .
.AlJNEX 3 Page 4
.An ro..~ension service in food technology uould start Hith a complement of ten
officers, who would have a B.S. degree :in food teclmology plus ru.~ension trajning.
They would assist small and medium scale food iJ1dn.:rcries, in both urban aJ1d
rural areas, to increase the efficienc;:r of their operations aJ1d improve the
quality of their products. The Center would be equipped with research laboratories,
a libra.r; and facilities including food processing equipment, exper:i.rnental rural
food storage and processing units, and pilot plants to demonstrate food processing.
The project would also finance the establishment of an e;ctension section in the
FTDC .
7. The Center's primary amph.e.sis -:-rould be on :improving the level oi .1pplied
technolog:r and ensuring its transfer to food industries and agriculture. The
Center's woric ·would focus on reducing food losses in processing and storage as well as on developing improved methods of P-rocessing staple foods m order to raise nutritiYe values and on axplor:i..ng opportunities for food
fortification. Additional research and deYelopment worlc would be geared towards
reduciri.g food losses through pacl::agmg, standardization and quality control,
storage trials, new product development ~aridling and transportation of foods
from fann to mamets. The specific i\mctions of FTDC would be:
(a) to act as the focal point for the provision of info:rr.i..ation and advice on
food technology;
(b) to provide tmining for food technologists a....-1d. extension officers both
for simple rural and large scale industrial requirements;
( c) to identrrJ problems associ2.ted ,·ii th food technolog-J and -';o initiate

INDONESIA NUTRITIOH DEVELOPMENT PROJECT
Nutrition Int3rvention11Pilot Program
ANNEX h Page 1
1. The Applied Nutrition Program (ANP) operated from the early sixties as the
main intervention measure to combat malnutrition. In 1973, an evaluation study
of ANP indicated that although ANP had succeeded in raising the awareness at
national and local levels of the importance of nutrition to health and productivity,
it had concentrated too heavily on only one aspect of nutrition -- the production
and co:1.sumption of protein-rich food. The .AfIP also failed to provide for effective
diffusion of nutrition information and improved nutrition practices beyond the
individual innovators and demonstration villages, nor did it es ·:.:,ablish target pop
ulation groups. Wb.ile the Nutrition Intervention Pilot Project (NIPP) would build
on the awareness created by ANP, it would be specifically directed at such village
population which is nutritionally most vulnerable. NIPP' s emphasis will be on a
nutritious diet according to local feasibility of food availability and on tre
managerial feasibility, and cost effectiveness to determine possible nationwide
replicabili ty.
2. The proposed component was prepared by a Task Force of BAPPENAS with the
assista.~ce of Bank staff and consultants and with close involvement of all regional
and local authorities concerned. In designing the contemplated comprehensive
nutrition activities of NIPP, the success and shortcomings of the ANP experience
]_I An ''intervention" is the term used for a :1.utritional, health, agricultural, economic or other activity, which alters relationships in the system cf inter-related factors causing malnutrition.
ANNEX l.i Page 2
1/ have been taken fully into account . -' The proposed activities combine
supplemental feeding with associated health, education and agricultural pro
duction measures. Different delivery systems, health personnel, tea8hers,
village officials, and volunteers are to be used and the systems tested for their
nutritional impact.
J. The NIPP component would develop effective measures which would
bring about improvement in the nutritional status of target populations. Priority
Y The main differances between the proposed NIPP and A.NP would be:
(~) size 0f e.d..1T1:5.n.ist:rntive unit covered - - NIP? administrati7e ~'lit would be a Y.ahl~with a population ran;r.-ng be±~een a half and cne ri:illion. whereas ANP foc 11ssed on individual villag~_s;
(b) NIPP empnasis on both calorie and protein deficiencies -- .i!J'.? tended to focus attention on production of pro tee ti ·:e and protei!l-rich foods, the latter mainly cf animal origin;

ANNEX l.i Page J
would oe given to tackling the problem of PCM, after identifying those in
need of assistance, through (i) the provision of locally produced supplementary
food where required; (ii) the control of closely related diseases through
L"TllTlunization and health care and (iii) a nutrition education campaign. The
locally produced supplementary foods will be delivered through alternative
systems such as health, village officials and volunteers. There would be
integrated actions with extension services to stimulate increased food
production for home consumption, reduction in food wastage, better utilization
of available food through nutrition education and encouragement of other income
earning activities.
Program Ob4ectives
4. NIPP has both nutritional and managerial objectives. Nutritional
objectives are:
(a) to reduce morbidity and mortality resulting from protein-calorie mal
nutrition (PCM) particularly among young children; and
(b) to reduce the incidence of diseases resulting from deficiencies in vitamin A,
iodine and iron.
Among the means adopted to achieve these objectives would be:
(a) improvement of food habits and related behavior through nutrition education;
(b) increase of food production particularly in home gardens;
(c) improvement of food processing and storage to preve.Dt wastage of food
and nutrients; and
(d) immunization, water supply and improved health services.
5. ~.anagerial objectives are:
AHNEX 4 Page h
(a) to demonstrate the feasibility and replicability on a national scale of
specific nutrition activities to improve nutritional status based on
principles of community self-help;
(b) to develop a system or systems for delivery of food supplements;
(c) to study the feasibility of administering a multi-disciplinary project
within the normal machinery of Government; and
(d) to develop means of measuring the effectiveness of activities aimed at
improving nutritional status.
~ ~ase-Line Data
6. A saTJJple survey of baseline data would be carried out by the Center for
Research and Development ( CRDN) during the preliminary phase of operations in all
NIPP areas so that the achievements of the program could be measured in light of the
above stated objectives. Anthropometric measurements (weight, height, arm cir
cumference)Y and examination for anemia and vitamin A deficiency would be used as
indicators of improvement in nutritional status. CRDN would be responsible for
collecting, analyzing and interpreting the data.
Choice of Project Areas
7. The Government decided that NIPP should begin in the Kapubatens of 3ojonegoro in the Province of East Java and in West Lombok in the Province of Nusa Tengarra 3arat.
In selecting the Kabupatens in these provinces the following criteria were adopted:
the prese"!:ce of 2 Y'lal'1utrition rrcb:!.em; 2dministr2.tbre suppo~t; lH::<=•l::r pos::.ti~·e res
ponse from the people; an area typical of Indonesian conditions; a..~d where the
.Applied Nutrition Program has been functio:ring .
1/ In recent years, emphasis has been given to anthropometric measurements that are truly age-independent, provided the children can be broadly grouped as of, say, pre-school age. Measurements of arm circumference/height, weight/height are found highly correlated to malnutrition in young children, as judged by a low-weight/ age or by the presence of clinical signs.
ArmE.x t Page 5
8 . The NIPP would be carried cut in the two Kabupatens initially, extend-
ing to two additional Kabupatens in the secor.d year. Subject to a review
by the Government and the Bank, it will be extended to three additional Kabupatens
in the last t~o years of the project . In the second year, Kabupatens would
be selected in .,entral Java and South Sumatra and, s 1..:b~ect to the review,
selection in West Java, Yogyakarta and Bali would fake place for the third year.
? • In the K,\bupatens of Eojoneeoro m1d West Loii'1bok, the initial three sub -
clistrictf selected i..."l each are within e:.c:::y reach of KEbupatenheaclquc:.rtern ::;o o.s to
facilik.te close supervision during the fi.rnt oper;;.tton.::.l ye3.r. Jiost of the
vi...J.lages chosen in these sub-districts arc a~are of the need for nutritional
1..-nprovements from previous A.."Il' activities. The sub-districts selected for the second
year of operations would be those which according to the base-line data imrveys,
have the most widespread nutritional problems in the Kabupaten .
The Ir.i ti2J. NIPP Areas
lDo The Bojonegoro Kabupaten is situated in the northwest of the province
of East Java . It can be divided into three main areas according to the
food availability: in 55 percent of the area food production is in surplus;
in 25 percent of the area, production is just adeouate ; whereas in the
~amaining areaJ it is definitely in deficit the
total population in 1974 was about 876,ooo, of whor.i 76,000 live in the
ca.pi tal Bojonegoro, which is a typical r-.D'.'al to,mship . The rest of the
Kabupate!1 is divided into 19 sub-districts and just over 400 villages. The
villo.ge population at about 2,000 on average is below the normal for Java.
The total area is 2375 sq. km. giving a population density of about 370

except Ngurrut, which has one nearby. Sumberrejo and Dander have also been selected
as sub- districts for the lMPRES for Community Development. All villages have
schools and some are covered by the Government 1 s programs for water supplies and
provision of latrines. In each sub· district there is a grain co-operative (BUT.JD)
with storage capacity for 100 tons . Gra.:in :in store seldom exceeds 15 tons because
of the rapid through-put to BULOG; there would be ample spare capacity for the
cereals and legumes required for supplementary feeding and the local processing
of supplementar; food would be carried out at the BUUD depots.
15. Lor:ibok is the westem island of the prov.ince of Uusa Tengc:,.rra Ba.rat and
it is divided into three Kabupatens. Hest Lombok Kabupaten, which includes
the provincial capita l Materam, has been selected as an a rea for t he proposed
NIPP component. The area of West Lombok is 1,728 sq. km., ~-1ith a population of
about 556,000 i.~ 1974 and 310 persons per s ~. km. The total a rea under cultivation
m 1974 was a round 96,000 hect ares . It is divided into 9 sub-district s and 83
villages. The villages var-y in size from nearly 16,000 to just under 2,000
population . On average, the village population is about 6,500 or double that on
e Java.
16 . Agriculture production .for 1974 was recorded a s:

17 • In the intensifiP-d, irrigation areas the average annual yield of paddy was
5,230 Kg. per hectare. The cross calorie and protein values of agricultural
production on West Lombok were calculated to yield 1690 calories and 31.6 g of
protein per capita and daY• In eight of the nine sub-districts there are
polyclinics, three of which have a doctor in charge and there are 23 sub-
clinics. The attendance at all the 31 heal th outlets is about 9,000 per month,
about 10 per clinic per day.

20. The second year would be the initial year for operational activities in
each selected regency. Activities would take place in three villages in each of
three sub-districts oi the Kabupaten. In the third year, operations would be extended
to three more villages in each of these sub-districts and three villages in three
additional sub-districts. Appendix 6 provides a chronogram giving a summary of
activities.
21. The base-line survey would provide the basis for preparing the plan of
operations for each Kabupaten. The plan would reflect decisions relating to the specific
activities to be undertaken in each village, how and when they would be carried out
and who would be responsible for each activity. These plans of operation would be
ready well before the first operational year in each NIPP Kabupaten.
Food Supplementation
· 22. Free food supplementation would be arranged for children with existing and/or
potential signs of PCM (indicated by anthropometric measures) and for malnourished,
pregnant and lactating mothers. The eligibility of mothers for food supplementation
would be on lhe basis of agreed criteria, chief among them would be low family
income levels. The food supplementation would also be a teaching aid for nutrition
education emphasizing the importance of adequate feeding, since in the long-run
the teaching of better feeding is far more important than the curative aspect of
supplementary feeding programs ( see para 28).
23. The food supplements, consisting of a cereal and legume mixture, would make
use of locally available materials and would be processed at sub-district level.
Se~3ction would be made from the various supplements already developed by the CRDN,
including the simple processing blending techniques suitable for local use.
24 . Raw materials would be purchased and stored by the local co-operatives
(BUUD/KUD) and processing would be carried out at co-operative depots (BUUD) which
would be available in each sub-district. After processing, the food would be
packed in plastic bags with capacities of either a one-week supply for a child or
a one-week supply for a mother. The Yillage distribution point would hold up to
one month's supply of food. Distribution of the weekly food supplements would be made against vouchers presented by the beneficiaries. ReplenisD.ment of the
rnonUi'::; supply of food nt _ the dictribution point would b(! r::adc ar::iin::;t
vouchers collected from 1..lie beneficiaries. The FTDC would be rC;;,pon::d.ble
for moni torinc the · quality of the food cupplcJT,cnt and the Provincial l:IPP
Audit Unit would check production nnd delivery of the suppleme:its (see para l.i5

being used in i.IT?P areas. UNICEF is supporting a program to develop dP.monstration seed gaYCiens that could be replicated at Kabupaten or sub-district levels. It would assist
in the preparation of a curriculum for seed garden managers and of an instruction manual for management of seed gardens. The GoverIL~ent is discussing a possible project, financed bi-laterally, for the establishment . of large-scale seed production facilities.
Food Storage
36. Information regarding village level storage of food is sparse. While there
are reports that losses may be as much as 25, estimates of losses
are unreliable. Much of the grain crop is sold immediately after harvest; storage of
grain is normally "over the stove" in the houses and would be for a short to medium
period of time. Improved storage facilities would not only reduce losses, but would
also enable the farmer (debt permitting) to retain the crop for sale at a higher
price than at post-harvest time.
losses 37. Most/are likely to be caused by insects, birds, rodents, micro-organisms, rain
and water condensation. When rain occurs shortly after harvest, drying becomes
difficult and this can cause serious losses.
38. The proposed action within the project would include:
(a) a study by the IPB Food Technology Group of storage losses under farm
a.Dd village conditions;
4lt (b) the design of prototypes to be developed in simulated village conditions
at IPB;
(c) the trial of selected prototypes in village conditions for technical
effectiveness a.Dd response by the farmers;
(d) the review of results by a national seminar to recommend on the policy and
program for storage at fann and village levels; and
( e) the training of extension wor'.cers in promotion of the recommended
program.
39. The IPB Food Technology group would carry out a baseline study L~ the NIPP
areas of the prevailing storage practices. This would include determining the
losses incurred during storage by weight, volume and nutrient content; the reaction
ANNEX 4 Page 15
of farmers to losses; and marketing practices. Most of the production is
presently sold at harvest times. The study should, therefore, find out what are the at
immediate cash requirements of farmers/ harvest time to pay debts; is damaged
grain sold with or without price differentials; and what are the price fluctuations
during the year.
40. In designing prototypes, the group would consider whether modification of
traditional methods would be more effective rather than introducing new methods.
The aim would be to develop a low cost storage facility, using local materials as
far as possible, and capable of being built by local labor. The methods for testing
effectiveness would be devised so as to ensure that they could provide a basis for
monitoring.
41. The third stage would be the construction of five selected units
in NIPP villages. After these units have been tested for technical effective
ness as well as evaluated on grounds of costs/benefits an additional 25 units
will be constructed in other NIPP areas. Following the development of a -
successful design, proposals for a storage credit program to be provi~ed
th~ough __ ~~ Rakya~ would be prepared for financing its wider adoption.
Promotion of better storage methods would involve training of agricultural
extension staff in the technical aspects of construction and in communication
techniques to facilitate acceptance and participation by the farmers.
42. After completion of studies and trials a seminar would be held. involving
those responsible both at national 2nd local levels to fonnulate a policy
and program for farm or village level stor3.ge. Bulk storage by BULOG and inter
mediate storage at FJUD/KUD depots could be affected by the storage methods
used at farm or village levels. Close co-ordination of the total storage system
would require to be considered by the seminar. The recoillJTlendations of the semi~ar,
as approved by the Government of Indonesia and the Bank, would be applied in selected
villages of the NIPP areas. Details of the estimated costs are given in Appendix 9.

l..iJ. Although there have been a fe1-1, i::::ol.J.ted stuclie::;, little is J:nom1
<!bout food processing a.rid food h.J.nclling in villages. In p::iro.llel 11ith the
studies and trials for village level storage, work 11ould be mdert.'.!ken on
improvements in village level processing by the IPB Food Technology GToup. In the
NIPP areas, a surrey -,1ould be carried out to detennine the current practices of
food handling, processing and preservation of the major food crops ·with particular
attention to the nutrient content and hygienic quality of the foods at various
stages. The cor.:modities to be studied would include cereals such as rice, nnize
and sorghum, legumes such as soybean, !T!1J1lg bean and peunuts, and root crops such
as cassave and sweet potato. Attention would also be paid to dark green lea..-fy
vegetable::::, fruits and other vegetables.
44. It is e::-.'J)ected that the survey -..Jould reveal many possibilities for
bri_nging about :inprovements in the methods of handli..11g, processi.'l'lg and preser
vation of foods. Short-term experiments 1·10uld be carried out by the IPB Food
Technology Group under simu.lated village conditions at Bogar. The results of
the experiments and trials would be presented to a seminar consisting of
representatives from the NIPP
Nutrition Development Project.
and from other components of the
Recommendations from the sem:i...'l'lar would be converted
into teaching aids ,·1hich would assist extension sta.ff' in p:romot:L"Tlg the adoption
of :Li!proved r.iethoci.s in the NIPP areas.
Village Ooerations
45. Villages are already divided into
Each village ,,1ould have one or more simple
blocks of about 50 househo~ds each. which would be the focus of nutritiona:til7±:::
village nutrition ce..~ters/each serving
appro;dlilately 600 households or 3,000 people. The village nutrition center ~·1ould
be located in a village hall, school or other builcli.ng that could be suitably adapted
and staffed by the village cadres. The project provi~es for the cost of aclE.pt~tion
of, or iJnprovements to the buildings selected and for the recruitme...rit end training
of part-t:i.ne village cad...---es. The v.;llage cadres, mostly wome.'11, would be recruited
NITIBZ 1.i Pet~e 17
from among home economic workers of the agricultural extension service,
community development workers and members of the women's organization
PKK. The village cadre would be responsible for compiling a register of
all children below the age of three years, for carrying out and recording
the results of monthly weighing of these children and, on the basis of
lack of or luw weight gain, identifying children in need of food sup-
plement, which would be obtained from the local authority. The village
cadre would visit the homes to demonstrate preparation of the food and
to assist in the child's acceptance of the supplement a.~d to provide in
formation on improved nutrition practices. Such visits would be repeated
until ~~e feeding practice is established. The daily supplement would
consist of 60g of the approved cereal-legume mixture and would be provided
to a child until the weight gain would be adequate, normally a period of
between 45 and 90 days. Based on experience of rehabilitation centers in other countries, the expectation is that the mother i:ould feed the child properly thereaf'cr
46 The monthly weighing would be used as an educational tool. Most
mothers do not recognize that there is anything wrong with a child suf
fering from mild or moderate PCM, for that is the norm. Monthly weighing
provides the opportunity to demonstrate that the child may not be doing
well. Similarily, the food supplement would be used as an educational
tool to demonstrate that locally available foods can bring about the
required change in well-being. The vast majority of Indonesian mothers
want to do the best they can for their children and once they recognize
the need for change in the feeding of their children, it would be e:xpected
AJlliEX li Page 18
that they could look after their present and future children adequately.
Not all would be able to do so. Perhaps about 20. percent of those who have been
rehabilitated through supplementary feeding and health care, may relapse
and require a second period of supplementation. In addition there would
be a hard-core of those who, wo~Jq ne~er be _able to feed their children . .
satisfactorily because of handicaps or economic circumstances. This group
renresent~_. a......15eparate social prol;i.:!,em, which cannot be solved through this project.
47. It is proposed that initially there would be one village cadre
per 25 households. After a year's activity, it is believed that the
intensity of supervision may be reduced to one village cadre per 100
households. Thereafter the numbers could be reduced further, but as the
cadres receive no honoraria, the number maintained does not affect the
cost of continuation. The provision of un:.i'orr:is, certi=icates and inter-village conpetitions would be used as incentives for village cadres.
48• Pregnant women represent a different problem. Al though many
are affected by PCM, the most prevalent problem is nutritional anemia.
In diets lacking in animal protein, it would be unlikely that pregnant
women would be able to acquire sufficient iron from their normal diet.
Every effort would be made to encourage pregnant women to make use of the
existing MCH services, where iron tablets, provided by UNICEF, are readily
available. The most economically deprived section of the community may
require supplementary feeding. Provision has been made to supply pregnant
mothers at risk. (These wumen will be identified from among low income families,
as mothers with at least one child having PCM). Roughly 10 percent of preg
nant women would receive a supplement consisting of 120g per day, for the last
trimester of pregnancy. Those who receive supplements when pregnant would
continue to receive supplements during 150 days of lactation; in addition,
mothers of underweight babies (below 2,500g at birth) would be provided with a
supplement.
Organization and Management
49. The Director-General of Community Health, Ministry of Health,
w0uld have overall responsibility for the NIPP component. For the manage
ment of NIPP, he would be assisted by a National Co-ordinator, whose
staff would include three Assistant Nutrition Program Officers (AlJPO), one
of whom would be specifically responsible for training; there would be
three administrative officers to assist.
50. In each province where NIPP would operate, the Governor of the
Province would be responsible for the co-ordination and imolementation of
the nutrition program. For planning purposes, the Governor would be
advised by the provincial planning authority (BAPEDA); for co-ordination
and implementation he would be advised by the Committee for Improvement
of Family Nutrition ( BPGD) established at provincial and Kabunaten levels
under the .Applied Nutrition Progra.~. The BPGD is chaired usually by the
Inspector of Health of the Province; members consist of senior govern
mental representatives of agriculture, community development, education,
co-operatives, water supply, fisheries, religious affairs, etc. and of
non-governmental organizationssuch as scouts and the Community Development
Board (LSD). The Governor would be assisted by a Nutrition Program
Of.:icer OJPO), who would have in addition to general duties specific responsi
bility for monitoring and evaluation.
AW/EX ~ Paee 20
.51. At the Kabupaten level, the Bupati, the chief executive of the
Kabupaten would be responsible for Nil'P activities. He would be advised
by the BPGD and would be assisted by two ANPOs one of whom would have
specific responsibility for training.
52. At the sub-district level, the Unit for Community Development
(UDKP) would be responsible for advising the Cemat, the executive head of
the sub-district, on the NIPP activities. He would be assisted by one
ANPO and three supporting staff, one of whom would be the Training Officer,
one would be responsible for production and distribution of the food sup
plement and the third would deal with routine finance, returns and reports.
53. The Village C rganization for Social Development under the chair-
manship of the village headman would be responsible for village operations.
There would be a Village Assistant Nutrition Program Officer (VANPO). Where l/
possible, this would be :initially a BUTSI volunteer working full-time, but
failing that, the V.AJ'lPO would be employed part-time, e.g. a teacher. The
VANPO would provide the local supervision for the village cadres, of whom
there would be one per 25 families on an average during the first year
of operations. Appendix 2 shows the organizational structure of NIPP,
~ppendix 3 provi_CES details of the staff requirements by years and Appendix 10
provides job descriptions for the National Co-ordinator, NPO, ANPO and others •

S4. HIPP operotions 1-1ould require the inter;mted support of CIIDH, FTDC
.:md the nutrition education group to be established under other components of
the project. CRDH would be responsible for collecting .:md :mo.lyzing bo.seline
data and mid-term and final surveys, for providing scientific and technical
infonnation for local production of food supplements .:md for advising on pl.'.J.ns
of operation. CPJJ!! would be involved i,.'11 the scientific evaluation of the l!IPP
cor:rponent.
S5. Pending the establishment of FTOC, the IPB Food Technology
Group would develop improvements in storage and processing at village
level. Later, FTDC's pilot extension service would operate in the NIPP
areas, identifying problems relating to local transport, storage, prepar
ation, processing, preservation, packaging and distribution of food.
Ide.-ritified problems would be studied by the FTDC and proposed solutions
tested in the NIPP areas. The FTDC would advise on and monitor the
quality of the food supplements.
56. One of the two sub-districts selected for trial of the nutrition
education model proposed in the nutrition education component, would be
in a NIPP area. The proposed simulation of mass media communications for
nutrition messages would also be used to reinforce nutrition educational
activities of village cadres in NIPP areas.
Training
The ANPO at the Ministry would be an officer with e:x:per-
ience in training and extension and would be responsible for organizing
staff training at national a."1d provincial levels. Each Kwpaten would have

abroad. A two month trnining course would be planned anrl carried out by
the A.:·!PO at the Hinistry, assisted by the consultant and staff members of
the Academy, C .'IDN and FI'DC.
59 , Training Officers would attend h;o month courses at provincial
headquarters, probably at Surabaya. These courses would be pla..'111ed and
carried out by the ANPO at the Hinistr-.r, assisted by the consultant
and provincial staff of the Cammi ttee for Improvement of Fanily Nutrition
(BGD'.l).
60 . VANPO would be trained at Kabupaten level. Their one month courses
would be organized by the ANPO at the Kabupaten headquarters, but the curriculum
would be planned by the llti.nistry staff, assisted by the consultant. Ka-
bupate.."1 staff of the Committee for Improvement of Fa.r:iil:.r Nutrition \;ould
be involved in the training.
61. The way in which the component has been planned to expand would
ensure that there would be normally two training courses ner year for
villace cadres in each sub-district. The exception would be where villages
a.re abnormally large and in such circumstances extra training officers have
been included. 'i'he courses, of one month dur~tion would be held at Health
Centers or Aericul tural Extension Centers in the Sub-districts. Eve:1

Technical Assistance
ANNEX 4 Page 23
Provision has been made for 24 man-months of consultancy.
Six man-months would be required for a consultant on nutrition education
to advise on the program for NIPP areas and to prepare a simple manual.
Ten man-months would be required for a consultant on the training of
Nutrition Program Officers and Assistant Program Officers. The balance
of 8 man-months would be available, if required, for problem solving
resulting from operational experience.
6 3,. The costs of the project component are detailed in Appendix 8.
They are subject to modification based on the results of the mid-term review.
Monitoring and Evaluation
64. Base-line data collection, mid-term and final evaluation will be
carried out by CRDN. The monitoring and evaluation unit, Ministry of Health,
will request collection of data by management according to specific criteria
and indicators. The unit will be responsible for designing the methodology
for data collection, the form of their presentation in writing, the frequency
of reporting by field staff and the subsequent analysis of the data. The
unit will convey the results of analysis to project and component management
and to CRDN. Effective evaluation is the most crucial factor in this component
( See Annex 8).

ANNEX 5 Page 1
Anemia Prevention and Control Pilot Project - Plantations
Introduction
1. The adult human body contains 3-4 g of iron, of which more than
two-thirds is in haemoglobin, the pigment of the red blood cells. The daily
iron loss of an adult man weighing 65 kg is about 0.9 mg. Absorption of iron
takes place in the stomach and through the small intestine 'While about .30 percent
of iron in meat is absorbed - however, meat con~tion is ve'r7 limited in
Indonesia - only about 10 percent of the iron present in cereals, vegetables a."ld
pulses is absorbed. (Intake of vitamin C could facilitate a higher absorption of
ingested iron.)
2. Iron deficiency anemia occurs when losses of iron from the body are
4lt not balanced by absorption of sufficient iron to compensate for both normal and
abnormal losses. Lack of iron is reflected by a deficiency of haemoglobin.
This affects physical capacity by reducing the availability of oxygen to the
tissues. The combination cf a poor dietary intake of iron and bleeding from
hookworm infestation are the most common causes of iron-deficiency anemia in
Indonesia •
.Research-on Nutrl ti anal Anemia and Producti vi t:r
y J. A 1973 study of anemia in a sample of male construction workers
1/ Nutrition and Health of Indonesian Construction Workers: Endurance and Anemia. Ka..-yadi, D. and Basta S.S. I3RD Staff Working Paper No. 152 .
ANNEX 5 Page 2
found anemia in 52 percent of workers in Rentang, L.5 percent in Salandarma
and 28 percent in Halim. The level of anemia in adult males in Indonesia
is the highest ever recorded under non-faminaconditions for this disease. Hookworm
infestation was found in 85 percent of samples at all sites. It was concluded
that there was a high incidence of nutritional anemia, due to poor utilization
of iron in the diet and iron loss from hookworm infestation, and sufficient
evidence that anemia interferes significantly with workers' physical endurance.
L.. A follow-up stud;! was undertaken in 1974, to corrq:,are productivity
levels of anemic and non-anemic workers. A sample of 300 workers were given
a pill daily; some received a pill containing 100 mg elemental iron and others
a placebo. Productivity before and after treatment was measured by the weight
of latex tapped per day by worianen or the total area excavated by weeders in a five
hour day. The output of anemic tappers before treatment was 19 percent below that
of non-anemic tappers. After iron treatment, output of anemic workers reached
the level of the non-anemic tappers. Those anemic tappers who received a placebo
remained about 15 percent below the productivity of their counterparts treated
with i~on. Among weeders, the productivity of anemic workers was about 25 percent
below that of non-anemic workers. The former anernics whose haemoglobin levels
rose as a result of treatment also cultivated a signficantly (up to 25 percent)more
dense area then the anemic groups whose haemoglobin levels did not rise. Treatment

ANNEX 5 Page 3
of anemic workers with daily pills containir.g iron brought about an increase
in work productivity of about 20 percent.
5. The two studies concluded that attempts to correct iron deficiency of
anemic workers .ould lead to substantial increases in productivity. The costs
of iron supplement per manyear were less than a dollar, which indicates best the
very high benefit cost ratio.
6. If ferrous sulphate pills could be continually given, the problem can
be treated and solved. In actual practice, however, the problem occurs that
after about 60 days of treatment, nausea appears as a side-e.ffect and the
Indonesian experts have therefore been searching for alternative solutions. One
solution suggested has been the fortification of salt with iron.
FGRTIFICATION OF SALT
7. Unlike the addition of vitamins, the fortification of salt with iron
present certain technical difficulties. Chief among these dii'ficulties are that
iron compounds, which are even slightly soluble in water, affect fortified foods
by cau3~~6 changes in color, odor, and cooking quality. Insoluble iron compounds
are absorbed much less readily than soluble iron compounds. One of the
successful methods;y' has been to fortify salt with ferric orthophasphate, a
stable iron compound, and to use sodium bisulphate to promote absorption. So far,
this has been found to be satisfactory although costs are higher than for
ferrous sulphate. Pilot tests are underway in field conditions in India util
izing iron-fortified salt. At a level of 1,000 parts per ~illion, fortification
of salt with iron ortho~hosphate would provide 1 mg iron per gram of salt. Estimates

rate of 4 percent, salt fortified with about 1500 ppm. would proYide about 0.5 mg
of addi tiona.l absorbed iron per da;r, which would be over half the recommended
iron allowance for adult ma.les.Y
8. Since the relationship between treatment of nutritional anemia and
productivity has been revealed (see paragraphs 3 to 5 above), the main objective
of this component is to test:
(a) the logistical feasibility of establishing a deliver-J system for iron
supplementation, and
(b) the economic ~lications on output and employment.
9. Three nilot areas would be selected: one in East Java consisting cf two
governne<1t owned plantations, each with about 500 workers, one plantation havi.:ig
health services and the othe::- without such services; one government plantation
in North Sumatra, wi t..h about 1,000 workers a.-rid heal th services. The inclusion of
10 small, privately owned plantations each employing about 100 workers in
South Sulawezi and West Sumatra is planned at a later stage, provided the
Directorate of Occupational Heal th of the Ministry of Manpower, Transmigration.
and Cooperatives can establish a delivery and health system i~ these localities.
10. The activities in the program could comprise of:
( a) _.~he supply of iron pills to cure nutritional anemia among plantation workers;
1/ Estimates of salt consumption derived.

(b) arrangements for tackline the problem of hookworm infection through
medication and provision of shoes; and
(c) arrangements for delivery of iron fortified salt to workers to ensure
that an adequate iron level is maintained.
ll. The anemic laborers woul.d be provided with a dail.y pill containing
70 mg iron in the :form o! ferrous sulphate. These pills would be distributed.
by paramedical staff, where there are health facilities and b;y junior sta.!'f o!
the management or owners in other instances. The dil!ltributian staff would be
required to observe the taking of the pill. The therapy woul.d be given for
about 60 days af'ter which haemoglobin levels should become normal. The
hypotheses is that once haemoglobin leve1s are normal, through iron theraP7.,
the;r can be maintained at a normal. level through adequate iron intake in the
diet. Iron .fortified salt would be procured intermittentl;r and arrangements
made far its distribution to the selected estate laborers and their families.
The absorbable iron available in fortified salt (0.5 mg per person per day) is
believed to be a suf'ficient addition to the present diet to maintain the
required iron intake. millimeter
12. The loss of blood due to hookwon:i may 8lllount to 3 I per 100 worms.
Where infestation is heavy the loss can be a major factor in nutritional. anemia.
At the beginning o! the period o.f iron therapy, anti-helminthics would be used
to deal. with the bookworm infestation. Simultaneously, action woul.d be taken
to prevent reinfestation by the provision of boots, latrines and personal.
hygiene.
lJ. Through nutrition education, efforts would be made to improirc the iron
content of diets and the intake of Vitamin C which ensures a better iron ab-
sorotion. The best food sources of iron are meat, fish, poultrJ and eggs, but
ANNEX 5 ?age 6
all of these are consumed only in small quantities, because of cost. The
second best sources are green, leafy vegetables, soybean, other legu.~es,
potatoes and whole grain cereals (polished rice has a low iron content) . Since
most plantation workers are landless, green leafy vegetables are not consumed
as much as they should. Management of plantations would, therefore, provide out
of plantation land small plots for laborers so that they could grow their own
vegetables.
14. The scientific and technical design of the projec t would be the responsi-
bility of the CRDN and the National Institute for Industrial Hygiene and Occupational
Health (NILHOH), while the field work would be carried out by the Regional
Institution of Industrial Hygiene and Occupational Health (RILHOH). The latter
two institutes are under the General Directorate of Occupational Health of the
Minist!"J of Manpower, Transmigration and Cooperation . Preliminary visits to
pla.1'1tation areas would bB underta~en by CRDX and NILHOH to brief ~:-m.agement and
workers, and to f:.nalize plans of operation. These visits would be followed by a
base-line data survey, which would include determination of haemoglobin in the
blood and infection. Simultaneously, data would be collected on the productiYity
levels of the workers according to soecified objective criteria.
h&luation
15. The .tiDCJl. evaluation, which will be U..."'1.derta.~en by CRDN,
would include medical tests (haemoglobin and hookworm infection) which are
essential for determining the effectiveness of the action taken. Initially, the a
iron supplemen"tation would be given on/grant basis, with average annual cost of less
~ US $1 per person. If, as is expected, the increased productivity of anemic
workers would be significantly greater in value than the cost of iron sul)plemen

INOONESIA NUTRITION DEVELOPMENT PP..O,JECT
Nutrition Communication and Behavioral Change
ANNEX 6 Page 1
Presidential Instruction (INPRES) of September 1974 requires improve-
ment in the variety, quantity and nutritional quality of foods consumed by all
levels of society in all regions of Indo~esia, but depends on changing behavior
relating to foods to optimize the use of available food supplies. The ANP
11 Evaluation Study 1973 found that even in the better off families surveyed,
41 percent were deficient in both protein and calorie intake. This finding
gives an indication of the lack of knowledge about the use of available food.
Food habits relating to choice of foods, methods of preparing and cooking foods,
distribution of foods within the family, we9.Iling practices and feeding the sick
child are likely to be responsible for the gap between food availability and consump
tion.
2. Attempts have been made to improve utilization of available foods
through nutrition education, but conventional nutrition education has not succeeded.
Earlier efforts in nutrition education in Indonesia concentrated on five food groups:
products. These earlier nutrition education efforts were not directed to the poor
who would have found animal protein or dairy products well beyond their means.
l/ An evaluation study of the results of the Applied Nutrition Program 1963-73, was carried out by Prof. Sayogyo. The study included a food consumption survey of 920 households from villagee where the ANP program has been applied intensively.
ANNEX 6 Page 2
In the absence of baseline data and systematic evaluation methods the possible
impact of the education programs could never be determined. A detailed study
of food habits in Indonesia has shown how cultural taboos affect food consumption
oa.tterns and lead to adverse nutritional results. · some of
Apart from income considerations,
behavioral constraints are/the critical factorsin bringing about improvement in
nutritional status.
J. The proposed component on nutrition communication would determine the
degree to which behavioral constraints can be modified and what methods would be
most effective, taking into account the costs. Knowledge of existing food habits,
patterns and beliefs would form an essential base, from which to plan and measure
desirable change. Such data would be used, in conjunction with information on
attitudes and knowledge as a baseline for the proposed action. In three selected
sub-districts data would be collected on quality of f ood consumption as well as on
behavioral aspects. Following an assessment of the nutritional problems cu1d their
likely causes, suitable educational methods would be devised and available media
and agency activities would be coordinated in order to launch a practical and
integrated approach to nutrition education. The experi ence gained in these three
selected areas would assist the Government in the preparation of a national
nutrition education campaign to be part of the national nutrition program which is
expected to be implemented during the Third Development Plan.
e
ANNEX 6 Page 3
Component Objective and Activities
4. The general objective would be to identify the most critical behavioral
constraints and develop measures to bring about desirable changes in nutrition
behavior in three selected areas for replication on a national scale. Among the
specific activities to be undertaken to achieve this objective would be:
(a) To decide on the know-how and skills required to overcome
behavioral problems and implement remedial measures;
(b) to select the content of nutritional messages, to design
their form, select the appropriate media mix to be used
and the methods of operation;
(c) to train village cadres as the contact personnel, sub-district
staff to supervise them and technicians to handle the communi-
(d)
(e)
cations equipment;
to hold seminars at national and provincial level to make
decision makers aware of the education program;
to hold workshops at Kabupaten, sub-district and village levels
to explain the knowledge and skills required and the methods
to be used;
(f) to carry out the planned program in each selected village,
with continuous monitori."lg, feedback and adaptation, if
required;
(g) to evaluate the changes in behavior relating to food and
nutrition;
(h) to identify the contribution of mass media and prepare and test
material potent~ally useful for wider application; and
s.
ANNEX 6 Page 4
(i) to develop feasible and replicable techniques in nutrition
education and communication, for subsequent inclusion in the
national nutrition plan.
The national strategy for regional development involves concentra-
tion of inputs from various sectors in the same community. During the first
year of the Second Five-Year Development Plan 148 sub-districts were selected
as Units for Community Development (UDKP), three of which would be chosen as the
operational areas for this component, one of which would be in a NIPP area. The
Component Director designate, in collaboration with the local authorities,
selected three UDKP sub-districts. In Central Java, the selected area is
situated on a fertile area of Merapi volcano, where the leadership is strongly
influenced by the local Islamic Training Center. The sub-district in Yogyakarta
is in a densely populated area, whereas the site in South Sumatra has relatively
less population, scattered in clusters over a wide geographic area. The three
areas comprise of 36 villages with about 110,000 direct beneficiaries.
6. Baseline information would be established from a random sample of 300
fa..,ulies in each area, describing food habits of the population before the begin
ning of the education program to be used for planning the education program and
later for the evaluation of its effectiveness. The CRDN would be responsible
for the baseline survey and evaluation, using the same parameters as for evaluation 11
of other components. A consultant would assist CRIN to design the content and
methodology for the collection of information on food habits.
l/ See Appendix 4 for job description.
7.
ANNEX 6 Page 5
A communications expert would consider all information available about
the selected communities, their food habits and nutritional problems, and would
decide on the form of the message, the media mix to be used, the timing of the
communication and the preparation of any teaching aids to support or reinforce the
impact of the messages. All messages would be tested with a sample from the
selected communities, to ensure that the message would be interpreted and under
stood as intended.
8. The communication messages would be communicated through village cadres,
the utilization of audio-visual equipment and seminars. The messages would be
simple and would be based on the research findings at CRDN, FTDC, and other
research centers. Working manuals and suitable teaching materials would be
developed, pretested and produced. These materials would be in accordance with
the particular food and nutrition problems, cultural conditions, educational
standards, and resources of the specific areas where they would be used.
9. Village cadres would engage in inter-personal communication with mostly women,
members of the communities. They would be inc!ividuals,/selected by the village
people from among mem.bers of voluntary organizations (PKX), or community develop
ment workers, paramedical personnel or infonnal leaders. One cadre would be an
responsible for 50 households, so that on/average each village would have 12
cadres. Sub-district supervisors would be appointed on the basis of one super
visor for three villages. Since the effectiveness of the cadres would depend
on a great deal of on-the-job training and the quality of supervision received,
sub-district supervisors would be trained to provide the necessary supervision.
The supervisor would be responsible for training and supervising the villa ge
cadres, who would receive one month's initial training, at the sub-district
k'nIEX 6 Page 6
Health Center. The training of all cadres in a sub-district would require four
months, with one course at a time using the facilities.
10. After the initial training of cadres is completed, the supervisors
would be responsible for organizing periodic meetings of cadres as a means to
feedback information and as an opportunity to provide advice and encouragement to
the cadres.
ll. Interpersonal conum.micaticn would be supplemented and complemented in
the villages by various methods and media. Each sub-district would be provided
with communications equipment: projectors, screens, tape-recorders, camera and
video-tape. Two technicians for each sub-district would be trained to use and
maintain the equipment. In particular they would be trained in using the video
tape and tape recorders to simulate television and radio broadcasting. Through
feedback from the use of this equipment, "soft-ware" would be developed for mass
media use in the national nutrition program.
12. Technical assistance would be provided for training technicians in.
the use and maintenance of equipment and in planning the development of .nass
media communications. It is important that development of "soft-ware" for mass
media should be undertaken as part of this component so as to prepare for the
e."'q)ected expansion of comm~ity based television and radio broadcasting being y
carried oi.:t currently a."l.d to be enhanced shortly by satellite services. Close
1/ There is a main TV station in Jakarta, ar.d two regional transmitters cater...ng to 360,0CO TV viewers, and th:'ee regional stations. The Gove:r.unent has J::rcvided six hundred TV sets at district level, and in 1976, is e.xpected to distribute another 6,000. Radio sets a.~e owned by 35 percent of the population, and it is said that arou.:id 70 percent listen. An ex--~sion of al2. :nain ;;.edia services with T'l and radio covering the whole of Indonesia is planned for 1976. There is a Gove:"!llllent Film Producticn Center, which produces weekly na ti.anal newsreels, and a.....-ound twelve half-hour fibis a year. The Ministry of Information has a number of mobile cineraas t.~at sr.o~ :il~~ to the villages every three months.

ANNEX 6 Page 7
liaison with the Office of Educational Development, Ministry of Education, would
ensure that the nutrition software would be incorporated in the overall program a
of mass communication through/communication satellite being developed there.
13. The component includes a series of seminars for key personnel and
working level staff in the ministries and agencies involved in the nutrition
development project. Key staff of high level would be able to spare only
limited time, therefore, at national and provincial levels seminars of one
day's du..~tion should be sui'ficient to create awareness of the project and
to solicit support for the various activities undertaken. Short seminars
wculd also be held at the end of the project period to report on results
and to seek expansion to a national program. At Kabupa-ren and sub-district
levels, workshops of longer duration would deal with detail of the various
activities.
Organization a.~d Administration
The Director in charge of the component would be the Chairman of the
Center for Manpower Training, Ministry of Health, who would work on a part-time
basis. The Director would be assisted by four full-time staff, two of whom
would be nutritionists and the others a health educationist and an administrator.
One would be responsible for data collection, analysis and interpretation, and
development and evaluation of nutrition messages. The second ;.,ould undertake
selection of field staff, their training and supervision. The third would
organize seminars and workshops and be responsible for feedback and reports.
As and when required, the Director cf this component would seek consultant
assistance from the Project Director.
ANNEX 6 Page 8
A member of the Provincial Committee for Better Family Nutrition
would be appointed as t.11e provincial supervisor of this component. He would
keep the committee informed of component activities and would receive advice
from the committee. There will also be part-time supervisors at Kabupa:~n and
village levels. The Kabupaten supervisor would be assisted by two part-time
officers, one of whom would have special responsibility for training and the
other for personnel, finance and procurement. The organization chart is at
e Appendix 1.
Technical Assistance
16. The component would provide 12 man-months of technical assistance
for expatriate advisors and 35 man-months for local advisors and consultants.
The experts would be required to advise on the baseline data collection and
evaluation of behavioral change; on the form and design of the messages, the
selection of media, the testing of material and evaluation of impact; on the
development of nutrition components in the curricula for schools, colleges
and courses; and on the planning of the educational and communications compo
nent for a national nutrition program. Fellowships would be provided to train
specialists in communication techniques for nutrition education.
Costs
17 . T'ne total costs amount to $1,287,000 over a four-year period.
Appendix 2 provides a statement of the expenditure; Appendix 3 provides details
of sala."'7 support.

Monitoring and Evaluation
A.'WEX 6 Page 9
18. The Director of the component would be responsible for monitoring
project progress and would be advised of requirements by the Monitoring and
Evaluation Unit at project headquarters. Evaluation is the essence of the
component. CRDN would be responsible for baseline data and for subsequent
surveys to evaluate changes in nutrition behavior.
