Evaluasi Program Penanggulangan Stunting pada Anak Balita di Puskesmas Abeli Kota Kendari Tahun 2025: Evaluation of The Stunting Prevention Program for Children Under Five at Abeli Community Health Center Kendari City 2025

Abstrak

Abeli Community Health Center in Kendari City has the highest prevalence of stunting among children under five (2.23%), influenced by socio-economic factors and limited nutrition education. As part of the national stunting reduction program, an evaluation is needed to identify the strengths and weaknesses of program implementation.This study aims to evaluate the implementation of the stunting reduction program for under-five children in 2025 using a qualitative case study approach. Informants included health workers, posyandu cadres, and mothers of under-five children. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation, and analyzed using content analysis involving data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The results indicate that the input aspects (human resources, facilities, and funding) are not yet adequate, particularly due to limited health personnel, insufficient cadre training, and constrained facilities and budget. The process aspects (planning, organizing, implementation, and supervision) have been carried out but are not yet optimal due to limited resources and suboptimal cross-sector coordination. The output aspect shows improved monitoring of child growth; however, program achievements remain uneven. The program has been implemented but not yet optimal. Improvements are needed in the quantity and capacity of human resources, infrastructure, coordination, and funding to enhance program effectiveness
