ABSTRACT
The Indonesian family planning program has evolved through several critical and overlapping stages with the addition of nutrition activities to the successful implementation of the family planning program. This chapter discusses the process of integrating the two in Bali. An extraordinarily strong social and administrative group, the banjar is a traditional center for mutual aid and cooperative work, as well as a gathering point for recreation and ceremony. Children under the age of six years receive all or almost all of their nutrient intake at home. The family, especially the mother, is the center of all feeding and nutritional activities. The Family Nutrition Improvement Program is a national intersectoral nutrition program supported by several governmental departments. The village nutrition cadre is a group of volunteer workers who manage nutrition activities in the field. The village nutrition cadre have an average education of primary school from the local community.
