“…The improvement in the HAZ score occurred after the government implemented a national strategy for stunting prevention through five pillars and eight convergent stunting actions in 2018 [ 16 ]. Several other provinces have had similar experiences in terms of the impacts of convergence actions on the reduction of stunting in toddlers, such as in South Sulawesi [ 17 ] and Central Java [ 18 ]. In 2011, the Indonesian government made a strong commitment to stunting mitigation by joining the global Scaling Up Nutrition (SUN) movement—a global effort from some countries to strengthen the commitments and the action plans for scaling up nutrition [ 19 ].…”

Background: Chronic malnutrition in children is a severe global health concern. In Yogyakarta, the number of children who are too short for their age has dropped dramatically over the past few decades. Objective: To perform an analysis of trends, policies, and programs; and an assessment of government, community, household, and individual drivers of the stunting reduction in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Method: Using a mixed-methods approach, there were three types of research: (1) analysis of quantitative data, (2) evaluation of stunting policy, and (3) focus group discussions and in-depth interviews to collect qualitative data. Results: The prevalence of stunting has decreased from year to year. Mean height-for-age z-scores (HAZ) improved by 0.22 SDs from 2013 to 2021. Male and female toddlers aged <20 months have relatively the same body length as the WHO median, but it is lower for children >20 months old. The COVID-19 pandemic has contributed to an increase in stunting-concurrent wasting. Nutrition-specific and -sensitive interventions have been carried out with coverage that continues to increase from year to year, although in 2020, or at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, the coverage of specific interventions decreased. The government has committed to tackling stunting by implementing the five pillars of stunting prevention and the eight convergent stunting actions. As the drivers of stunting reduction, national and community stakeholders and mothers, at the village level, cited a combination of poverty reduction, years of formal education, prevention of early marriage, access to food, enhanced knowledge and perception, and increased access to sanitation and hygiene. Conclusions: Nutrition-specific and -sensitive sector improvements have been crucial for decreasing stunting in Yogyakarta, particularly in the areas of poverty reduction, food access, preventing child marriage, sanitation, education, and increasing knowledge and perception.

“…Various studies have been carried out and have become a source of information related to factors related to stunting. Mutiasari et al stated that there is a correlation between the level of knowledge and the incidence of stunting and that the improvement of the nutritional status of family members will be achieved if the family, especially the mother, has sufficient nutritional knowledge (Absori et al, 2022). The challenge of implementing stunting prevention efforts is related to the fulfillment of unbalanced nutrition (Tampubolon et al, 2021).…”

“…However, not all regions that implement these efforts can carry them out optimally. One of the studies conducted by Absori et al, stated that, in reality, the eight convergent policies were ineffective because their implementation was incomplete, even though they had been well formulated (Absori et al, 2022) The main focus in handling stunting is to provide specific nutritional interventions in the First 1000 Days of Life (1000 HPK). One of the efforts in implementing interventions in 1000 HPK is the use of posyandu.…”

Stunting is a condition in which a child experiences growth disturbances so that the child's height is lower or shorter than the standard age. One of the efforts to prevent stunting is by providing assistance to pregnant women. Cadres as the spearhead of health workers who are near pregnant women and mothers with toddlers are expected to be able to monitor pregnant women and mothers with toddlers in efforts to prevent stunting. This study aims to analyze the evaluation of the performance of cadres in efforts to prevent stunting. The study used qualitative methods with in-depth interviews with four key informants and focus group discussions . In-depth interviews were conducted with 4 health cadres, and a Focus Group Discussion involving the Leaders of Organization of regional apparatus for family planning affairs , District Bappeda, Village Government, Health Center and Nutrition service staff. The data is then processed through the content analysis method. The data is then reduced through a coding process, summarized and drilled into partitions or sections that focus on questions. The results of the study show that, until now there has been no specific program in the context of efforts to prevent stunting to be carried out by cadres, even though there are currently various types of cadres besides health cadres who are known to be at posyandu, there are also other cadres who formed for the prevention of stunting, however, the implementation of the tasks has not been maximized because there is no specific program that is used as a reference in carrying out the tasks. In conclusion, that the performance of cadres is currently not optimal and focused on efforts to prevent stunting.
