Policy handling to accelerate stunting reduction in Kupang Tengah District, Regency East Nusa Tenggara Province

Abstract

This study wants to clarify several things to realize the objectives of implementing stunting management policies. The goal is that this perspective can direct the focus of the study to an analytical framework that is appropriate, relevant, applicable, and measurable with a scientifically justifiable methodology. This study uses a qualitative descriptive research method. The study results show that the policy process for handling accelerated stunting in Central Kupang District, Kupang Regency, needs to run optimally. However, the local government and all elements involved in handling stunting have several limitations in committing to improving aspects of implementing stunting management policies to sustain national policies. The results of this study were derived as new public policy concepts based on the social context so that, in the end, they could make a concrete contribution to the achievement of the stunting management program strategy.
