Samples were 56 children with severe and moderate acute malnutrition for both study sites, 33 children in Yogyakarta city (experiment) and 23 children in Sleman district (control), selected using purposive sampling. Home care intervention is given for three months (January until March 2014). Results findings show there were significant increase in nutritional status (p < 0.05) after home care intervention. At end line evaluation, the proportion of severe acute malnutrition in the experimental groups reduced significantly from 100% to 56,7% (p < 0.05).
