Adapun saran dari peneliti untuk (1) aparatur desa diharapkan dapat meningkatkan edukasi gizi bagi masyarakat, terutama ibu hamil dan balita, guna mencegah stunting sejak dini agar masyarakat dapat aktif untuk mengikuti program penanggulangan stunting. (2) Pemerintah desa disarankan untuk mengalokasikan dana desa secara signifikan guna mendukung program pencegahan stunting.

ABSTRACT Syarifah Maghfirah (2024) The Role of Village Government in Addressing Stunting Issues in Kajhu Village, Baitussalam District [Thesis, Syiah Kuala University]. Supervised by Erna Hayati, S.H., M.Hum and Ridayani, S.H., M.H. The village government plays a crucial role in addressing stunting issues in Kajhu Village, as the village is responsible for collecting data for stunting prevention intervention targets. To reduce stunting prevalence, the village government strives to provide infrastructure facilities, offer supplementary feeding (PMT) for pregnant women and toddlers, and conduct community education to prevent stunting. This study aims to identify: (1) the role of the village government in addressing stunting issues and (2) the challenges faced by the village government in addressing stunting issues in Kajhu Village, Baitussalam District. This research employs a qualitative approach and descriptive research type. The subjects of this research are the Kajhu Village Government, including the Village Head, Village Secretary, Jantong Hate Posyandu Cadres, Village Midwife, and Baitussalam Community Health Center Nutrition Staff. Data collection methods include interviews and documentation. Data analysis involves interview and documentation processes. The research findings are: (1) the Kajhu village government actively participates in reducing stunting prevalence by providing facilities, offering supplementary feeding for pregnant women and toddlers, and conducting education sessions in schools and religious affairs offices for newly engaged couples, and (2) the village government faces several challenges in tackling stunting, including difficulties in encouraging community participation in stunting prevention activities and limitations in village budget allocation for stunting programs. This research concludes that (1) the high percentage of stunting not only risks a future health crisis but may also hinder the nation’s resilience, as it would be challenging to maintain sovereignty if future generations suffer from mental setbacks, learning difficulties, and increased risks of chronic illnesses such as diabetes, hypertension, and obesity due to poor nutrition or stunting. (2) Achieving a healthy, intelligent, productive, and competitive "Golden Generation" by 2045 is essential, and stunting prevention and management are key elements in realizing this goal. Stunting affects not only physical growth but also brain development, intelligence, and long-term productivity, which all impact future human resource quality. The researcher suggests that (1) village officials should enhance community nutrition education, especially for pregnant women and toddlers, to prevent stunting early on, encouraging community engagement in stunting prevention programs, and (2) future researchers should consider studying similar issues in different contexts to expand knowledge and understanding of addressing stunting issues.
