Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the implementation of Rembug Stunting (stunting forum) in Regional Development and Planning Agency (BAPPEDA) of Central Java Province, especially in terms of input, process, and output. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach with in-depth interview methods and focus group discussions (FGD) with key informants and triangulation. Data were collected from BAPPEDA of Central Java Province, Central Java Health Office (DINKES), and Central Java Communication and Informatics Office (DISKOMINFO) as related policy makers. The results of the study indicate that the implementation of Rembug Stunting is supported by five main components (5M): Man (cross-sectoral human resources), Money (Provincial Budget), Material (adequate facilities and infrastructure), Method (Ministry of Home Affair Technical Instructions), and Machine (supporting technology). The process includes integrated planning, organizing competent resource persons, implementation based on field needs, and supervision through Directorat General of Regional Development (BANGDA) Web Monitoring. The main output is a joint commitment across sectors to accelerate stunting reduction.
