Abstract

(Collaborative Governance in Efforts to Accelerate Stunting Reduction in Garut Regency)

Tingginya angka stunting di Kabupaten Garut mendorong pemerintah daerah melakukan kolaborasi lintas sektor sebagaimana amanat Peraturan Presiden No. 72 Tahun 2021 tentang Percepatan Penurunan Stunting. Namun, angka stunting di Kabupaten Garut kembali mengalami peningkatan pada tahun 2023. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis tahapan-tahapan collaborative governance dalam proses kolaborasi penanganan stunting di Kabupaten Garut. Metode yang digunakan adalah kualitatif dengan jenis studi kasus, dengan pengumpulan data melalui dokumentasi dan wawancara, dengan teknik penentuan informan dilakukakn secara purposive,  Teori yang digunakan adalah teori collaborative governance yang dikembangkan oleh Morse dan Stephens (2012) yang terdiri atas empat tahapan: assessment, initiation, deliberation, dan implementation. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa proses kolaborasi belum berjalan dengan optimal dengan adanya berbagai kendala di setiap tahapannya, seperti ketidaksesuaian pemangku kepentingan, keterbatasan sumber daya, kurangnya aturan dasar kolaborasi, dan hambatan dalam tata kelola serta keberlanjutan program.

Abstract

The high rate of stunting in Garut Regency has prompted the local government to engage in cross-sector collaboration as mandated by Presidential Regulation Number 72 of 2021 concerning the Acceleration of Stunting Reduction. However, the stunting rate in Garut Regency has increased again in 2023. This study aims to analyze the stages of collaborative governance in the process of collaboration in handling stunting in Garut Regency. The method used is qualitative with a case study type, with data collection through documentation and interviews, using purposive informant selection techniques. The theory used is Morse and Stephens' (2012) collaborative governance, which consists of four stages: assessment, initiation, deliberation, and implementation. The results of the study show that the collaboration process has not been optimal, with various obstacles at each stage, such as stakeholder incompatibility, limited resources, lack of basic collaboration rules, and obstacles in governance and program sustainability. These findings provide recommendations for improving collaboration governance so that efforts to reduce stunting can be more effective and sustainable.
