Lack of community participation in family planning programs with the use of contraception can cause health problems for mothers and children, and affect social conditions and the level of family welfare. Empowerment of cadres in promotion and counseling about various methods of family planning and being able to determine nutritional status is considered important for the success of the family planning program. The purpose of this service is to increase the knowledge and skills of cadres related to contraceptives and determine the nutritional status of women of childbearing age.
