Literacy is the gateway to the knowledge and skills necessary for students to build their character. According to the Comprehensive Dictionary of the Indonesian Language (KBBI) and the Cambridge Dictionary, literacy simply means the ability to read and write. UNESCO also defines a literate person as a person who can understand, read, and write short simple statements in his/her everyday life. The development of a country cannot be separated from the literacy level of its citizens. Unfortunately, studies reported that literacy rate in Indonesia is still very low. The 2015 Program for International Student Assessment (PISA) survey indicated that Indonesia ranked 64th (or 10th lowest) out of 72 countries in terms of children literacy (Kementerian Pendidikan dan Kebudayaan, 2019). Even UNESCO stated that only one out of 1,000 Indonesians is literate (Ramadhani and Yuwinanto, 2020) This condition has raised high concern. Today literacy is no longer only about reading and writing skills. Its range of meaning continues to grow, and now it is commonly associated with the terms 'knowledge' and 'skills' in various fields of life. For example, financial literacy refers to the set of knowledge and skills that allows an individual to manage and make effective decisions regarding all of their financial issues. In the context of nutrition, financial literacy at the household level is very important. Financial literacy means the ability of a household to make financial decisions, which manifests in an ability to budget basic family expenses (especially those for food) or manage family incomes for savings purposes. The research conducted by Carman and Zamarro (2016) stated that household food insecurity is not only caused by insufficient income but also due to a lack of financial literacy. Households that lack knowledge about basic financial skills such as income management are more likely to experience food insecurity. Conversely, households that have good financial literacy are more likely to be able to manage savings that can protect them from food insecurity (Carman and Zamarro, 2016).

Masyarakat adat adalah kelompok yang sangat rentan terhadap masalah gizi dan kesehatan. Namun, Indonesia belum melakukan pengukuran status gizi secara spesifik pada masyarakat adat. Kepercayaan tradisional, adat, dan budaya setempat sangat memengaruhi praktik pemberian makanan pada balita, termasuk pemberian prelakteal pada bayi yang dapat memengaruhi status gizi dan pertumbuhan anak ke depannya. Dengan pendekatan kualitatif, penelitian ini mengeksplorasi praktik pemberian prelakteal pada bayi di lingkungan masyarakat adat Kaluppini di Sulawesi Selatan dalam hubungannya dengan stunting. Sebanyak 61 informan terlibat dalam wawancara mendalam dan diskusi kelompok terpumpun (focus group discussion). Status gizi anak menjadi salah satu variasi pemilihan informan. Semua informasi direkam lalu ditranskripsi verbatim. Data diolah menggunakan aplikasi Dedoose dalam tiga tahap, yaitu dari tahap pengodean, kategorisasi hingga menjadi sebuah tema. Ibu pada masyarakat adat Kaluppini memberikan makanan prelakteal berupa madu, air tajin, air kelapa, dan bahkan kopi kepada bayi pada usia tiga hari pertama. Kepercayaan dan pengetahuan tradisional para ibu adalah alasan utama mereka melakukan praktik ini. Selain itu, sando pea memberikan madu ke bayi baru lahir atau pada saat acara adat ma’paka’tan. Mereka percaya bahwa pemberian madu tersebut dapat menambah daya tahan tubuh anak menjadi lebih kuat. Kepercayaan, adat, dan kehadiran sando pea sangat memengaruhi praktik pemberian prelakteal. Hal ini menjadi tantangan bagi tenaga kesehatan untuk melakukan pendekatan yang inovatif dalam melakukan promosi kesehatan dan gizi dengan tetap menghargai adat budaya setempat.

Deforestation does not only cause conficts among indigenous peoples and the government, but also cause viola on of indigenous women’s right. It affects many aspects of life such as increasing workload, violence against women, both physically and psychologically, food insecurity at household, as well as malnutrion among children as the real manifestation.

Stunting masalah gizi utama pada anak di Indonesia dan pemberian makanan prelakteal pada bayi adalah salah satu faktor risikonya. Berdasarkan laporan SDKI tahun 2012 bahwa sebanyak 60,3% bayi mendapatkan makanan prelakteal. Kepercayaan, tradisi, adat, dan budaya pada suatu masyarakat adat dapat mempengaruhi praktik pemberian prelakteal pada suatu kelompok masyarakat. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menggali informasi tentang pemberian makanan prelakteal di masyarakat adat Kaluppini. Dengan pendekatan kualitatif, sebanyak 67 ibu balita yang terlibat sebagai informan. Pengumpulan data dilakukan dalam bentuk wawancara mendalam dan FGD yang direkam dan ditranskripsi verbatim. Analisis data dilakukan mulai dari proses pengkodean data lalu dikategorisasi hingga menjadi sebuah tema. Penelitian ini dilakukan pada bulan Januari-Mei 2018 di masyarakat adat Kaluppini yang terletak di Kabupaten Enrekang, Provinsi Sulawesi Selatan. Dari penelitian ini diperoleh bahwa praktik pemberian prelakteal masih banyak dilakukan oleh para. Dukun anak dan tradisi yang kental pada masyarakat tersebut menjadi salah satu faktor banyak ibu yang memberikan prelakteal. Sebagian besar ibu memberikan air putih, air kelapa, air tajin, madu, dan kopi pada tiga hari pertama kelahiran bayi. Masyarakat adat Kaluppini percaya bahwa dengan memberikan madu di awal kelahiran dapat memperkuat daya tahan tubuh bayi dan tetap sehat hingga dewasa. Hal ini menjadi tantangan tersendiri dalam upaya meningkatkan cakupan ASI eksklusif dalam upaya pencegahan stunting. Sehingga diperlukan pendekatan yang lebih inovatif dalam melakukan konseling menyusui dan pemberian makanan pada bayi dan dengan tetap memperhatikan kearifan lokal yang ada pada masyarakat. ABSTRACT Stunting is a major nutritional problem among children in Indonesia, and infant prelacteal feeding is one of the risk factors. Based on the 2012 IDHS report, as many as 60.3% of babies received prelacteal food. Beliefs, traditions, customs, and culture in an indigenous community are factors that influence the prelacteal feeding practice. This study aimed to explore information about the prelacteal feeding of the Kaluppini indigenous people. With a qualitative approach, 67 mothers were involved as informants. Data was collected in the form of in-depth interviews and FGDs which were recorded and transcribed verbatim. Data analysis was carried out starting from the data coding process, categorizing, until it came up with themes. This research was conducted in January-May 2018 in the Kaluppini indigenous people located in Enrekang Regency, South Sulawesi. From this research, it was found that the prelacteal feeding practice was still widely practiced. Traditional birth attendants and their strong traditions are one of the factors for many mothers who provide this prelacteal practice. Most of the mothers provided plain water, coconut water, starch water, honey, and coffee as prelacteal food to their babies in the first three days. The Kaluppini indigenous people believed that giving honey can strengthen the baby's immune system and make them stay healthy until adulthood. Prelacteal feeding practice is a challenge to increase the exclusive breastfeeding coverage in an effort to prevent stunting Therefore, innovative approaches in conducting counseling on breastfeeding and proper feeding practice are needed by still paying attention to local wisdom that exists in indigenous peoples.

Introduction: Food insecurity remains a global challenge, especially among vulnerable indigenous populations. Coping strategies to maintain food security among indigenous groups can be unique and complex, being influenced by cultures. This study aimed to explore the coping strategies employed by food secure and food insecure households in times of food insufficiency, in the Kaluppini indigenous population of South Sulawesi, Indonesia. Methods: The study recruited mothers of children aged below 5 years, who agreed to participate in the study’s focus group discussions (FGDs) and in-depth interviews. All information was recorded, transcribed verbatim and analysed. Results: A total of 61 mothers participated in 22 in-depth interviews and six FGDs. Five coping strategies were used by the Kaluppini people i.e. additional income generation, dietary alteration, access to alternative food sources, access to alternative cash sources, and, traditional ways of coping. Both food insecure and secure households reported making dietary changes, such as reducing consumption or substituting foods, borrowing food or money, and practising traditional coping strategies, such as food sharing after performing rituals. In order to generate income, food insecure households reported seeking additional work in the neighbourhood areas, while food secure households migrated in search of work to the other islands or other countries. Conclusion: Food insecure and food secure households changed their diets, borrowed food or money from relatives and relied on traditional coping mechanisms such as food sharing. It is suggested that food insecure Kaluppini households be encouraged to grow essential foods in their gardens to enhance food security.

The traditional knowledge about the use of ancestral medicines to cure children was highly valued by the indigenous community and an essential part of their indigenous health system. This study aimed to provide insight into the traditional medication using plant-based medication to children in an indigenous community in South Sulawesi Province. This study was conducted in Kaluppini Village, Enrekang Regency, South Sulawesi. In-depth interviews and focus group discussions were conducted both in Bahasa Indonesia and the local language. Informants were traditional birth attendants and mothers of under-five. This study was carried out from January to June 2018. Data were analyzed using thematic coding. It is found that Kaluppini mothers have traditional knowledge of treatment. They used kinds of plants as traditional remedies to cure their children. This traditional medication named as pembollo’ and pejappi. Pembollo’ are traditional plants intended to cure sick children. Kaluppini people believe that pejappi is a collection of traditional plant that can treat kinds of illnesses among children, including to prevent them from supernatural things. Kaluppini indigenous people practice and believe in their traditional plants to cure their children. Traditional birth attendants play a crucial role in providing these traditional plants. Information provided in this study could be a rational basis for health-related stakeholders to develop programs of health education and promotion for indigenous communities.
