The prevalence of malnutrition in children under five based on weight/age at the Province of Nusa Tenggara Barat and Bengkulu 2005 was above the national target. An effort made by the government to minimize the prevalence of malnourishment/ malnutrition is through the distribution of individual complementary breastfeeding for infants and children of 6-24 months old from poor families. The program had been implemented since 2003-2005 and there were problems of its implementation. In 2007 the program was re-implemented through the program of instant powder and biscuit complementary breastfeeding distribution but its achievement has never been evaluated.Objective: To evaluate the achievement of instant powder and biscuit complementary breastfeeding program at Mataram Municipality, District of Lombok Barat, Lombok Timur, and Bengkulu Utara 2007.Method: The study was observational with pre and posttest design using descriptive, analytical, quantitative, qualitative, and explorative approaches. Subjects were managers of complementary breastfeeding program at provincial, district/ municipal level, health centers, villages/integrated service post and program target. Variables of input, process, output and outcome were obtained through observation, filling in questionnaires, indepth interview, and secondary data recording. Data were analyzed descriptively, analytically, and qualitatively.Result: In the aspect of input, only human resources that was quantitavely adequate, and so were technical guideline at Lombok Timur, Complementary breastfeeding packages relevant with the quantity proposed at Bengkulu Utara. Budget for socialization and program guidebook at Bengkulu Utara were not available. Distribution method was relevant with the guidebook.
