<![CDATA[Purpose: This study aims to analyze the convergence of stunting reduction policy in Denpasar City within the framework of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly Goal 2 (Zero Hunger) and Goal 3 (Good Health and Well-being), and to formulate governance strengthening strategies relevant to regional development planning. Research Methods: This study employed a qualitative approach through a literature review based on secondary data, including the Indonesian Nutritional Status Survey (SSGI) and Indonesian Health Survey (SKI), official government reports, and scientific journals published between 2021 and 2026. Data were analyzed descriptively to map conditions, strategic issues, and policy alternatives. Results and Discussion: Bali Province recorded the lowest national stunting prevalence (8.7% based on the 2024 SSGI), yet Denpasar City, as the most densely populated area, recorded 10.4% according to the same survey, sharply contrasting with the city government's locally recorded figure of around 1.9% in 2025. This discrepancy points to fundamental data validity and integration issues across systems (SSGI/SKI, e-PPGBM, and Sigenting), affecting targeting accuracy and the reliability of SDG monitoring at the city level. The eight convergence actions have been implemented but remain partial, with cross-sectoral and village/sub-district coordination not yet optimal, while Denpasar's urban characteristics add complexity to target precision. Implications: Accelerating stunting reduction in Denpasar City requires strengthening integrated data systems, reinforcing the Stunting Reduction Acceleration Team (TPPS) down to the neighborhood level, applying locally rooted approaches, and institutionalizing stunting reporting as part of the city's formal SDG monitoring mechanism.]]>
