First of all, I would like to thank the President of the Republic of Indonesia, Joko Widodo, for the honor bestowed on me. “This cannot be separated from the work of friends of KB and the community who support the Golden Pride and Stunting program,” he said.

Danny said this moment should not be used as a momentary satisfaction because the city of Makassar still has many tasks, especially regarding family resilience and stunting reduction targets.

I think that regarding this honorary mark, one of the indicators is that the childcare program is massively taking place in Makassar. By accelerating the reduction of stunting, we can maximize the better and more productive performance of the younger generation in the future. “Again, this award is not for me but for all of us, residents of Makassar City,” he said.

Where in the stunting control corridor is the activity of Fathers Asuh Stunting Children (BAAS), which is one of the Makassar City Government's interventions to reduce the stunting rate.

Based on the EPPGM data of February 2024, our stunting data is only 3.01%. “This figure has decreased compared to the same period of February 2023, which was 3.73%,” Syahruddin concluded.

Danny has made various efforts to optimize KB Village as a forum for family-based community empowerment.

Such as the realization of facilities and infrastructure as well as regulatory support and financing of the Bangga Kencana program through the APBD.

Our family planning villages in Makassar City have reached 153 family planning villages by 2023. Last year, we only had 16 family planning villages. “Thank God, this year it increased quickly thanks to the smart work of Makassar DPPKB friends,” said Danny.

Danny said that the Satyalancana Wira Karya obtained today is of course in the hope that it can further motivate so that the goals of quantitative indicators in family development can be achieved.
