Observing partners regarding the condition of the partner group, 2. Formulating problems, 3. Providing solutions, 4. Conducting socialization and training, 5. Monitoring and Evaluation. The results of the evaluation of activities that were attended by 20 participants were based on the level of knowledge, 90% of participants had good knowledge and 10% had sufficient knowledge. As many as 80% of participants benefit from this activity and 100% feel usefulness, interest and satisfaction in the activity. The positive response given by the participants to the FGD and Training activities.
