One of the nutrition improvement programs for pregnant women in Central Bengkulu Regency is Food Supplementary feeding  for CED pregnant women and toddlers, including in Semidang Lagan District, Central Bengkulu Regency. A holistic approach is needed starting from cadres, health workers, communities, partners with local government officials, as well as the private sector in preventing and overcoming the problem of CED pregnant women and malnourished toddlers.
