Abstrak
Stunting merupakan masalah gizi kronis yang terjadi sejak masa kehamilan sampai anak berusia dibawah dua tahun. Dampaknya pada jangka panjang dapat mengancam kualitas hidup manusia maupun kemampuan daya saing bangsa. Persoalan stunting masih menjadi masalah besar di Indonesia, dimana pemerintah sudah menurunkan target angka prevalensi stunting menjadi 14%. Upaya percepatan penurunannya dapat dilakukan melalui program spesifik. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian kualitatif dengan desain studi kasus. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis secara mendalam tentang efektivitas manajemen program spesifik dalam percepatan penurunan stunting di Puskesmas Teluk Melano Tahun 2021. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa masih belum efektifnya manajemen program spesifik dari asfek input (SDM, anggaran, SPO, sarana dan prasarana serta peralatan). Pada aspek proses juga belum efektif (perencanaan, pelaksanaan, pemantauan (monitoring dan evaluasi) serta pencatatan dan pelaporan program). Oleh karena aspek input dan proses belum tercapai, maka berdampak pula terhadap efektivitas aspek output yang belum mencapai target yang diharapkan, sehingga aspek outcome (penurunan stunting) juga belum tercapai.

Stunting a chronic nutritional problem that occurs from the time of pregnancy until the child is under two years old. The impact in the long term can threaten the quality of human life and the ability of the nation's competitiveness. The problem of stunting is still a big problem in Indonesia, where the government has lowered the stunting prevalence rate to 14%. Efforts to accelerate its reduction can be carried out through specific programs. This research is a qualitative research with a case study design. This study aims to analyze in depth the effectiveness of specific program management in acceleration of stunting reduction at the Puskesmas Teluk Melano in 2021. The results of the study indicate that specific program management is still not effective in terms of input aspects (human resources, budget, SPO, facilities and infrastructure and equipment). The process aspect is also not effective (planning, implementation, monitoring and evaluation as well as program recording and reporting). Because the input and process aspects have not been achieved, it also has an impact on the effectiveness of the output aspect which has not reached the expected target, so that the outcome aspect (reduction of stunting) has also not been achieved.
