Through the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) program, the target is to address all forms of malnutrition and reduce stunting and wasting in toddlers by 2030. This movement involves policymakers working together to reduce the prevalence of stunting in Indonesia. The objective of this study was to analyze and prioritize, through the Hierar chical Analytical Process (AHP), public policy strategies to accelerate
the reduction of stunting in the city of Tasikmalaya.
Methods: This research was conducted using a mixed
method, including a qualitative approach for interviews and a quantitative approach for prioritization analysis using AHP. The sampling technique used a purposive sampling, with 14 respondents, with the inclusion criteria were: more than 5 years of experience in nutrition policy, representation from key institutions, and a decision-making level of middle to upper management. Interviews were conducted to obtain information on
strategic issues in stunting management in Tasikmalaya City.
The selection of these alternative policy strategies will be determined in focus group discussions (FGDs) held at government institutions. AHP analysis is carried out using Expert Choice software version 10.
Results: Based on the Analytical Hierarchy Process from
respondents, the most important alternative strategy is the macronutrient intake intervention. This was determined through an evaluation based on four key criteria: budgetary readiness, infrastructure, institutional sustainability, and
community readiness. For example, providing locally sourced food supplements, such as eggs and milk, to toddlers is considered the most rapid and effective way to address stunting in toddlers. This research found that three months of Food Supplement support resulted in increased weight, as well as improvements in nutritional status. Most toddlers experienced weight gain during the support period.
Conclusion: Macro-nutrition interventions are clearly
superior to other program strategies because this program can be sustainable. The government has to provide more macronutrient interventions for toddlers .
