Stunting is still a health problem for infants and children in Indonesia. The 2018 Basic Health Research show that the incidence of stunting still reaches 29.9% and ranks in the top 10 worldwide. One of the districts with a fairly high stunting rate is Klaten. Aim of this study is knowing the effectiveness of Dasawisma training in stunting prevention. The respondents were 100 Dasawisma members from 10 villages. The effectiveness of the training was analyzed by means of different tests of pre and post-test values using the Paired T-Test. Training on stunting prevention was effective for increasing dasawisma knowledge in stunting prevention programs (p = 0.001). Age (p=0.510), education level (p=0.302), employment status (p=0.116) was not significantly related to the achievement of training objectives. Effective training increases Dasawisma's knowledge in stunting prevention.
