Abstract

Stunting is a serious health problem among children in Papua Province, Indonesia. This study analyses secondary data on environmental factors, vulnerable family indicators, and stunting prevalence in the region. The main challenges faced are inter-sectoral coordination, budget management, and ineffective monitoring. An integrated and holistic approach is emphasized with cross-sector participation and stakeholder engagement. This study used descriptive qualitative research methods based on the Papua Provincial Government’s Stunting Response Report. As a result, strong coordination, knowledge transfer and education at all levels are urgently needed. With improved coordination, budget management, monitoring, and implementation of a holistic approach, the prevalence of stunting can be reduced. Recommendations include improving coordination across sectors, efficient budget allocation, strengthening monitoring, integrating nutrition education, and managing the impact of conflict and natural disasters. Implementation of these recommendations is expected to improve the quality of life of children in Papua Province and reduce the prevalence of stunting.
