Abstract
This research explores the role of integrating
women empowerment, child protection, and family planning programs in addressing
stunting, using Deli Serdang Regency as a case study. Given the high prevalence
of stunting in the region, the study aims to identify the contributions and
impacts of integrating these programs in addressing the issue of stunting. The
research methods employed include secondary data analysis, interviews with
relevant stakeholders, and field observations. The findings indicate that the
integration of women empowerment, child protection, and family planning
programs can provide significant benefits in reducing stunting rates in Deli
Serdang Regency. However, challenges such as lack of inter-agency coordination,
resource limitations, and high levels of community misunderstanding regarding
the importance of balanced nutrition remain obstacles that need to be
addressed. To enhance program effectiveness, it is recommended to improve
inter-agency coordination, enhance accessibility and quality of healthcare
services, and increase public education and awareness about balanced nutrition.
Thus, this research contributes significantly to understanding the role of
program integration in addressing stunting and provides policy guidance to
improve child health in Deli Serdang Regency.
