ABSTRACT This study aims to analyze the accountability and effectiveness measurement mechanisms of stunting fund management in the Aceh Provincial Government. The focus of this study is driven by the high prevalence of stunting in Aceh. A qualitative approach with a case study method was employed. Data were collected through semi-structured in-depth interviews and document analysis conducted across several relevant agencies in Aceh Province. The research findings indicate that accountability mechanisms in the management of stunting funds have been systematically structured through the stages of planning, implementation, monitoring, evaluation, and reporting. Several accountability elements have been fulfilled, including clear responsibilities and mandates, transparency, citizen control, political oversight, and checks and sanctions. However, citizen control and political oversight remain suboptimal, as they are limited to participatory roles without substantial influence on decision-making. The effectiveness of stunting fund management is measured through the achievement of intermediate and final target indicators. However, these indicators have not yet been effectively achieved. Substantively, 13 intermediate target indicators have not been met, and the stunting prevalence rate in Aceh Province in 2023 remains high at 29.4%, significantly above the national target of 14%. Field-level constraints and the socio-cultural factors of Acehnese society are among the key causes of the ineffectiveness of stunting programs and budgets in Aceh.
