Stunting Convergence Management Framework through System Integration Based on Regional Service Governance

Abstract

The acceleration of stunting reduction in Indonesia is one of the priority agendas in the health sector, its implementation being through various regional and tiered approaches. This paper aims to manage management using an integrated system framework approach at the regional level and to support the acceleration of stunting reduction nationally. It takes a quantitative description approach that uses secondary data sourced from the Directorate General of Regional Development, Ministry of Home Affairs, the Republic of Indonesia in 2019–2021. The locus of papers is in five provinces, North Kalimantan, South Kalimantan, Central Kalimantan, West Kalimantan, and East Kalimantan, Indonesia. The data collection and processing consisted of twenty stunting convergence coverage referring to regulations in Indonesia. The analysis used is an integrated framework based on five dimensions. Management based on an integrated framework in a regional-based system for stunting convergence can be a solution to accelerating stunting reduction. This paper provides an option to accelerate the handling of stunting through the Integration of Service Governance-Based Systems in Districts/Cities, considering the achievements in the last three years that have not been maximally carried out in every district/city in five provinces in Kalimantan, Indonesia. This study explains that the local government needs to socialize and disseminate the commitment to stunting reduction results to reaffirm commitment and encourage all parties to actively contribute to integrated stunting reduction efforts. This paper has limitations in the implementation of dimensions that can develop in a context that is correlated with several perspectives, such as regional planning, budgetary capacity, and regional capacity.

Bibliometric Studies and Public Administration Research Potential on Stunting Problems

“…Several studies that have been carried out include Prasetyo, A et al (2023) conducting research Framework for Stunting Convergence Management through System Integration Based on Regional Service Governance as a result of research by local governments that need to socialize and commit to reducing stunting to encourage all parties to contribute integrated into efforts to reduce stunting actively.…”

“…To overcome the problem of stunting, the government, in this case, can play the following roles: (1) a catalyst, namely the government's position as an agent that accelerates the development of regional potentials (Zuhdi, S., Ferizko, A., & Melinda, 2019), such as making policies on stunting, forming institutions in the community so that it can become social capital to build participation in handling stunting (2) the facilitator provides facilities and infrastructure, provides capital, provides education and training, provides counseling and assistance to the community in handling stunting (Saputra, T., Yandra, A., Zahra, M., Eka, E., & Sufi, 2022), (3) the dynamist is to mobilize community participation if there are obstacles in the development process to encourage and maintain the dynamics of regional development by provide understanding and insight into the importance of nutritional intake in pregnant women as well as clean and healthy lifestyle behaviors (Prasetyo et al, 2023).…”

Evaluating Local Government Policy Innovations: A Case Study of Surabaya's Efforts in Combating Stunting and Enhancing Public Health Services Quality

“…A. Utami et al, 2022). In addition, the importance of community inclusion and participation in the policy formulation process, so that the resulting policies can be more responsive to local needs and better able to address the determinants of stunting at the community level (Prasetyo et al, 2023). Public policy analysis focuses on understanding four key aspects: policy formulation, implementation, consequences, and impact effectiveness.…”

Exploring the Influence of Religious Institutions on the Implementation of Technology for Stunting Understanding

“…In light of the intricate socio-cultural landscape of Cijeruk, Bogor Regency, and the pressing issue of stunting, this research hypothesizes that religious institutions play a transformative role in shaping community attitudes and behaviors towards the adoption of ICT for stunting education, intertwined with entrepreneurship. It posits that the perceived effectiveness and ease of use of such technologies, as well as the supportive and entrepreneurial role of religious institutions, significantly influence the community's attitude towards these technologies, ultimately affecting their behavioral intention to use them [10]. The study anticipates revealing a strong positive relationship between the support of religious institutions and the community's technology acceptance, as mediated by the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) variables -Perceived Effectiveness, Perceived Ease of Use, Attitude Toward Use, and Behavioral Intention to Use .…”
