Towards a Stunting-Free Gunungsitoli City: Policy Evaluation and Challenges of the Economic Approach by Eldad Chalis Natha Nias Ndruru, Asep Sumaryana, Heru Nurasa

“…Based on the results of the research using evaluation indicators that believe in effectiveness, efficiency, adequacy, leveling, responsiveness, and accuracy, the implementation has not been optimal or running well based on several criteria, namely the budget from the APBD for policies and programs to accelerate stunting reduction is still limited, access to stunting sufferers is still constrained considering the demographic conditions of the region spread across various regions, the existence of complex socialization So that the delivery of information is not effective and the implementation time of policies and programs is not too much so that the implementation of policies does not run well and the short implementation time makes programs and policies not optimal in terms of their implementation and economic challenges in handling stunting are met with poverty and limited access to nutrition, dependence on external resources, and economic impacts do not last long This stunting results in a decrease in productivity labor force, the burden of regional health increased, and poverty arose. …”
