While Indonesia has successfully
decreased early childhood mortality, its stunting rates are
among the highest in the world; this has lifelong
consequences for health, human capital, poverty, and equity.
Indonesia has committed significant resources to improving
nutrition outcomes; yet, inequalities in coverage and gaps
in quality raises the question whether Indonesia is spending
enough on stunting-related interventions and whether it is
using its resources efficiently. The main objective of this
public expenditure review was to assess the level and
allocation of stunting-related expenditures. Findings
suggest that overall government spending on nutrition is
adequate; instead outcomes may depend more on improving
efficiency in the use of resources. Most of the
recommendations to improve stunting in Indonesia are
cross-cutting issues that will have a much broader impact on
the quality of public spending overall. The report is
organized into five sections. Section one gives
introduction. Section two describes the service delivery
environment for nutrition in Indonesia, including the
Government of Indonesia’s (GOI’s) nutrition strategy,
nutrition delivery platforms, access to nutrition-related
services, and the main sources of nutrition-related
financing. Section three describes the sources of data and
methodology used to identify nutrition related expenditures.
Section four presents findings from the central and
subnational analysis. Section five summarizes key messages
and discusses a set of recommendations to help improve the
quality of nutrition-related spending. |
