This can be seen from the unavailability of a comfortable place for the community to obtain services, because the posyandu building is still used with kindergarten children and the services provided are not in accordance with the SOP. However, in terms of handling the community, namely infants / toddlers who are affected by malnutrition, the level of responsiveness of the gampong government, cadres and midwives are very good and very helpful to the community. The gampong government also conducted socialization, healthy baby competitions, giving PMT as well as absent community visits to posyandu, which were conducted to increase community participation. The supporting factors in optimizing the posyandu program are very much one of them, good cooperation between the gampong government, cadres and midwives and the gampong community in running the posyandu program. Meanwhile, the inhibiting factors are a lack of public awareness, a mindset that is not yet developed and a sense of laziness in the community that makes them reluctant to bring their children to the posyandu and uncomfortable service places.
