ABSTRACT

Stunting poses significant health and economic productivity challenges, impacting both short-term and long-term outcomes. East Nusa Tenggara (hereafter abbreviated NTT) has the highest number of stunting cases nationwide. In order to contribute to the integrative and holistic approach described in Presidential Regulation 72 of 2021, this research attempts to actualize a comprehensive policy backed by a variety of resources and stakeholder involvement. This study takes a qualitative approach using descriptive methodologies. The results show that, in spite of concerted efforts by the government, communities of Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs), the media, academia, and businesses to address issues like the ownership of JKN/KIS cards or the National Health Insurance Healthy Indonesia Card, parenting awareness, nutritional intake, and sanitation problems in the North West Rote District, the stage of collaborative action planning reveals challenges in putting innovative policies into practice successfully. As a result, there are concerns that stunting rates may rise by February 2023 in Rote Ndao Regency. Stunting has detrimental effects on health, which can persist in both the short and long term. The high prevalence of stunting in NTT suggests that there may be significant health challenges faced by individuals in the region, including increased susceptibility to diseases and reduced overall well-being. Concerns regarding rising stunting rates in Rote Ndao Regency by February 2023 are speculative and lacking empirical evidence. Making precise future predictions is challenging without a thorough analysis of present trends and factors affecting stunting rates.
