Indonesian Media Locks In On Food Security and Nutrition Issues

The power of the media to push for positive social change must not be underestimated as we discover from more than a dozen journalists who joined a half-day workshop hosted by WFP Indonesia on “Media Engagement on Food Security and Nutrition”.

Overview

Only four countries have more chronically malnourished or stunted (too short for their age) children than Indonesia. The stunting rate is over 30 percent in most districts (with a range between 23 and 58 percent). Indonesia is also highly vulnerable to natural disasters – earthquakes, tsunamis and volcanic eruptions. In 2010, it ranked second in the world in terms of its vulnerability to extreme weather and geophysical events. On average, one million people are affected by disasters every year.
