This article summarizes the existing evidence on the impact of interventions specifically among adolescents in Indonesia. Evidence was limited but supports the implementation of the following nutrition-specifc interventions: (i) iron–folic acid supplements, paired with antihelminths delivered at scale via school-based platforms and through health centres; and (ii) diet counselling and nutrition education provided through school-based platforms, adolescent youth centres/peer education and technology-based platforms. Additional nutrition-sensitive interventions could include: (i) improving access to reproductive health services; and (ii) increasing the coverage of interventions designed to increase school attendance.
