Abstract

Introduction: The rapid growth of population and economic activity has exacerbated waste management challenges in Indonesia, including in West Aceh Regency. The imbalance between waste generation and the capacity of existing management systems has led to waste accumulation in various locations, particularly in densely populated areas. This study aims to examine the role of the Environmental Agency (DLH) in addressing waste congestionand to identify the supporting and constraining factors that influence the implementation of waste management policies in West Aceh Regency. A qualitative descriptive design with a phenomenological approach was employed to gain an in-depth understanding of the experiences and perceptions of waste management stakeholders. Data were collected through in-depth interviews,field observations, and document review using purposive sampling, involving DLH officials, sanitation workers, and community members. Data analysis was conducted through iterative processes of reduction, presentation, and verification. The findings indicate that the West Aceh DLH plays a strategic role in waste management through the implementation of a controlled landfill system, community education on waste segregation, and strengthened cross- sectoral collaboration such as waste bank initiatives and communal clean-up activities. However, policy effectiveness remains constrained by limitedfacilities and infrastructure, insufficient human resources, and low community participation in fee payment and waste sorting practices. In conclusion, successful waste management in West Aceh requires greater synergy among institutional capacity, regulatory support, and community-based social awareness to ensure sustainable waste governance.

Abstract

Nutritional problems, particularly stunting, remain a serious challenge in Indonesia, including in Aceh Province, which ranks fifth in the highest stunting prevalence nationally. One of the contributing factors is the suboptimal utilization of local food resources that actually have high nutritional potential and are easily accessible to the community. This community service activity aims to increase the knowledge and awareness of the people of Purwosari Village, Nagan Raya Regency, regarding the importance of utilizing local food as an effort to improve family nutrition, especially for preventing stunting in children. The implementation method used a qualitative approach through nutrition education, demonstrations of processing nutritious local foods, and interactive discussions with the community. The results of the activity showed an increase in community understanding of the concept of balanced nutrition, the importance of animal protein for children's growth and development, and proper methods of processing local food. In addition, innovations in local food products such as modified cassava flour (mocaf) and grilled eggplant with fish-based dishes received positive responses as opportunities for small-scale family businesses. This activity is in line with the theory of local food security and previous studies emphasizing the role of local food in improving the nutritional status of rural communities. Therefore, optimizing the use of local food can be an effective strategy in supporting food security and reducing stunting rates in rural areas.
