Imagine you are faced with a critical challenge, but you have limited skill, competence, and support to overcome it. Are you sure you can combat that? You might be able to solve the obstacle, but are you sure it will obtain maximum outcomes? A similar analogy might be implied for one of the most critical health cases in Indonesia: stunting. Are you sure we can combat stunting if our resources have limited skill and competence, as well as an unsupported policy? According to the Indonesia Nutritional Status Survey (2022), the province with the highest case of stunting is Nusa Tenggara Timur (NTT). Stunting is more than a short stature. It has a strong connection to the long-term life of a human being. Theoretically, stunting is the impaired growth and development that children experience as a result of inadequate psychosocial stimulation, repeated infections, and poor nutrition. Some of those consequences include poor cognition and educational performance, low adult wages, lost pr...
In today’s world, people are competing to make good money and have an impact at the same time. However, this phenomenon's first turning point occurred in the 1890s.

That was not a novel concept. Socially progressive mutual funds have been around for a long time (Lyonn, 2018: 202). In addition, Kapor believes impact investing might accomplish things that nonprofits and philanthropic organizations cannot achieve. Today’s business, as of 2022-2023 Interbrand Reports, is competing to be a leadership brand. It means they want their business and brand to be not only trendsetters but also leaders, so people will follow them. Furthermore, in order...
