1000 Days Fund's Leimena Conference Abstract Compendium, 2026
1000 Days Fund’s Abstract Compendium — Leimena Conference 2026
This compendium brings together 1000 Days Fund's research and program evidence presented at the Leimena Conference, hosted by Indonesia's Ministry of Health through the Primary Health Care Consortium (27–28 July 2026). It includes five oral presentations, one poster, and one abstract proceeding drawn from TDF's work across NTT, NTB, and other provinces.
The abstracts share a common thread: strengthening the capacity and welfare of community health workers (CHWs) at the village and Posyandu level is a key lever for improving maternal and child health outcomes during the first 1,000 days of life. Findings combine large-scale quantitative studies, qualitative process evaluations, and innovative approaches like AI-assisted WhatsApp interviews — pointing to four recommendations for Indonesia's Integrated Primary Healthcare (ILP) program: village-puskesmas cost-sharing financing, systematic strengthening of the CHW "5S" framework, context-based engagement strategies, and formal certification and career pathways for CHWs.

Making The Invisible Visible, 2026
Making The Invisible Visible
A rapid, AI-assisted qualitative study with 103 Community Health Workers (CHWs) in Rote Ndao and Timor Tengah Selatan (TTS) found that CHWs play a critical but often overlooked role in preventing stunting: they identify mothers and children at risk long before those risks become visible in routine health data. This study showed that through growth monitoring, household outreach, community intelligence, and personalised home visits, CHWs identify vulnerable mothers and children early enough for preventive action to be taken. However, these CHWs face significant challenges, most notably the difficulty of consistently reaching households. To address these hurdles, one of the innovations through the Village Task Force (Satgas) has implemented a collaborative model that strengthens the impact of CHW outreach.
Call for Academic Partner, 2026
Call for Academic Partner For 1000 Days Fund Programme 2026
The 1000 Days Fund invites all researchers and academicians to collaborate on applied research with the aim to strengthen the community health system in Indonesia. In response to the issue of high stunting prevalence particularly during the first 1000 days of life, through empowerment of community health workers (CHW) as the backbone in delivering essential intervention at community level. The 1000 Days Fund program model ensures that CHWs are well supervised, have clear and sustainable roles, are adequately skilled, supported with proper resources, and fully integrated into the health service system (Salaried, Skilled, Supervised, Supplied, and Secured).
