“…The insufficient enforcement of policies, leading to a limited scope of sensitive and specific intervention indicators, contributes partially to the slow decline in stunting prevalence in Indonesia, particularly in Aceh Province [9]. Compared to other developing countries in Southeast Asia, Indonesia's performance in stunting intervention programs falls below average [4].…”

This study addresses the persistent issue of stunted growth among children below the age of five in Aceh Province, Indonesia, despite the government’s ongoing efforts to combat it through various policies. Employing qualitative methods such as interviews, document analysis, and observations, the research explores the discrepancy between the intended policy framework and the on-ground implementation of interventions. While some indicators align with national targets, specific and sensitive intervention indicators often fall short, emphasizing the need for more focused and aligned efforts in policy implementation. The study underscores the urgency for stringent budgetary monitoring, increased collaboration among stakeholders, and a targeted approach to enhance the efficacy and coverage of stunting reduction programs in Aceh. Ultimately, it highlights the necessity for better policy alignment and implementation to mitigate the challenge of stunting among children in the province.

Undernutrition, including stunting, is a global issue, with significant prevalence in Asia, including Malaysia. Stunting, characterized by low height-for-age in children under five, is a critical health concern. This study focused on parents in Puncak Alam, Selangor, to assess their awareness and understanding of stunting factors. Using a cross-sectional quantitative approach with 137 participants, the study found that most parents had a good awareness and understanding of stunting. Parental education emerged as a key factor influencing understanding. These findings can guide policymakers and health professionals in reducing stunting and improving children's health in Malaysia.

Background: Indonesia’s stunting prevention programs have shown limited effectiveness and scalability. Interprofessional collaboration (IPC) is crucial for preventing and treating pediatric stunting. This study aimed to investigate the roles of primary health centers and IPC in addressing stunting in Indonesia. Methods: A systematic review was conducted, searching PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, ProQuest, and Google Scholar for studies up to November 2023. Two reviewers independently screened and included full-text articles that examined IPC and stunting, focusing on prevalence, policy implications, healthcare roles, community roles, preventive measures, and challenges. Results: The review included 52 articles. IPC was found to be critical in reducing stunting prevalence. Training improved the knowledge of health cadres, aiding in the early detection and prevention of stunting. The studies emphasized IPC’s positive impact on stunting reduction across various regions. Policymakers are encouraged to adopt a comprehensive strategy involving collaboration, financial support, and effective program implementation. Conclusions: This study highlights IPC as essential in reducing stunting in Indonesia. Integrating stunting management into primary healthcare is recommended, with a call for developing guidelines to standardize and optimize the approach to this public health issue.
