I found this in one of the news bits of The Jakarta Post, July 1, 2006 issue reported by Antara: Naimah Hasan, an official of the Bureau of/ Agency for Reconstruction and Recovery for Aceh and Nias (BRR) stated that an estimated 60 percent of Acehnese children under five are malnourished according to a recent survey conducted through Aceh. A 2005 census of the province placed the population of children aged under five years old at 402,460. The official added that reconstruction efforts in Aceh had been focused on physical projects at the cost of health.
I think that Aceh especially should seriously look into its ECD investments and interventions because after the tsunami, the trend had been for families to get pregnant as a response to the loss they had incurred. There is indeed a lot of marrying and women getting pregnant around here.
