Abstract

Stunting in toddlers is a crisis for the world. The causes of stunting are very broad, meaning they involve many factors. The intervention using the action method used to reduce stunting is evaluating government program policies from actions one to eight as well as the intervention of providing stunting food packages to 45 children under five for 1 month.


This research method is a mixed method, namely an intervention method of providing nutritious meal packages to 45 children experiencing stunting and analysis of government policies that lead to convergence action through eight stages involving cross-program and cross-sectoral issues. The main finding in this research is that the importance of each stage of convergence action has a significant effect on the level of stunting reduction and nutritional intervention programs. The findings highlight the economic status of families and basic health interventions that need to be followed up by government and community participation.
