Posyandu is a form of Community Based Health Efforts (CBHE) which is managed in the administration of health to empower the community and provide convenience for the community in obtaining essential health services, significantly accelerating the reduction in mortality of mother and infant rates. Efforts to develop the quality of human resources by optimizing the potential for growth and development of children can be carried out evenly if a community-based health service system such as Posyandu can be carried out effectively and efficiently and can reach all targets who need health services for children, pregnant women, breastfeeding mothers and mothers who had deliveries. Based on a report from the Ministry of Health (Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia, 2021), the percentage of districts/cities implementing active posyandu development was 6% of the 51% target, or the rate of performance achievement was only 11.76. In Riau Province in 2019, the percentage of active posyandu has reached 55.99%, which has exceeded the national target. However, this percentage is still dominated by full-time posyandu, followed by the middle, pratama, and independent posyandu. Meanwhile, the activeness of a posyandu located in one area can be seen from the number of full and independent posyandu in that area Posyandu Petak bersilang Hiasan Wajik-Wajik is one of the posyandu located in the working area of the Karya Wanita Community Health Center, Rumbai District, Pekanbaru City, Riau Province, with the status madya. The purpose of this service activity is to assist posyandu cadres and provide health counseling so that it is expected to improve the performance of posyandu and increase community participation in participating in posyandu activities. Abstrak: Posyandu merupakan salah satu bentuk Upaya Kesehatan Bersumber Daya Masyarakat (UKBM) yang dikelola dalam penyelenggaraan pembangunan kesehatan, guna memberdayakan masyarakat dan memberikan kemudahan kepada masyarakat dalam memperoleh pelayanan Kesehatan dasar, utamanya untuk mempercepat penurunan angka kematian ibu dan bayi. Upaya pengembangan kualitas sumberdaya manusia dengan mengoptimalkan potensi tumbuh kembang anak dapat dilaksanakan secara merata, apabila sistem pelayanan kesehatan yang berbasis masyarakat seperti Posyandu dapat dilakukan secara efektif dan efisien dan dapat menjangkau semua sasaran yang membutuhkan layanan kesehatan anak, ibu hamil, ibu menyusui dan ibu nifas. Berdasarkan Laporan dari Kementrian Kesehatan (Kementerian Kesehatan Republik Indonesia, 2021), persentase kabupaten/kota melaksanakan pembinaan posyandu aktif tercapai 6% dari target 51% atau persentase pencapaian kinerja hanya sebesar 11,76. Di Provinsi Riau pada tahun 2019 persentase posyandu aktif sudah mencapai 55,99% di mana sudah melebihi target nasional. Namun, persentase ini masih didominasi oleh posyandu purnama, yang diikuti oleh posyandu madya, pratama dan mandiri. Sementara keaktifan suatu posyandu yang berada pada satu wilayah dapat dilihat dari jumlah posyandu purnama dan mandiri yang ada di wilayah tersebut. Posyandu Petak bersilang Hiasan Wajik-Wajik merupakan salah satu posyandu yang berada di wilayah kerja Puskesmas Karya Wanita Kecamatan Rumbai Kota Pekanbaru Provinsi Riau, dengan status strata posyandu madya. Tujuan dari kegiatan pengabdian ini adalah melakukan upaya pendampingan kader posyandu dan melakukan penyuluhan-penyuluhan kesehatan sehingga diharapkan dapat meningkatkan kinerja dari posyandu dan meningkatkan partisipasi masyarakat dalam mengikuti kegiatan posyandu.
