Besides that, Ganjar appreciates the steps of Blora and Rembang which have carried out interventions to overcome the problems of poverty and stunting.
One of them is the foster father, who promotes the concept of mutual cooperation to reduce stunting.
"Interesting, the village heads in Rembang and Blora are foster fathers. You were asked how many you took care of, the answer was, I take care of two families, I take care of three families, this is a very good pattern of mutual cooperation," he said.
"So we are conveying it to the residents now to the village head, sub-district head, so that they can provide the most appropriate data so that later problems that arise in the village, both individually and in our community, can be solved together," he added. (setyorini/KOM)
