The Regent said that the increase of the incentive is to motivate and encourage the cadres to work even better. Especially in handling stunting in their work area.

Meanwhile, Head of the Tanah Bumbu Community and Village Empowerment Office (DPMD) Samsir said that a technical guidance (bimtek) is being held by his office to increase the competence of posyandu cadres in the district.

"A total of 335 participants attending the bimtek for three days in Banjarmasin," he said.

This activity is important to carry out, he said, as a provision and to increase knowledge for posyandu cardes so that they carry out their duties optimally.

Posyandu cadres have an important role because they face and have direct contact with community, especially babies, pregnant women, elderly and others.
