The low level of knowledge and skills of posyandu cadres in anthropometric measurements impact on validity of nutritional status among infants and children aged 12 – 59 months. One of the contributing factors was the lack of training for Posyandu cadres. Therefore, this community partnership program provided a training program focused on anthropometric measurements among posyandu cadres in Cilandak Barat. Knowledge and skills of cadres before and after intervention are measured. The results showed a significant increase of knowledge score (11.13 to 14.67) and the skill score (26.59 to 39.00) (p value = 0.001). We concluded that the training program effectively increased the knowledge and skills of posyandu cadres.
