Abstract

Stunting is a multidimensional development which requiring coordination beyond health services, particularly in women’s economic agency and local food systems. This study examines the stakeholder configuration for stunting prevention in Banyumas Regency. Moreover, household economic capacity, and local food development are often addressed through sector-specific interventions, while actors' influence, dependence, and strategic positions receive limited attention. This study identifies an integration asymmetry: stunting governance relies on a closely clustered health-oriented relay network, whereas the economic perspective is less embedded in cross-sector coordination. To answer the research question, this research uses a MACTOR-based prospective stakeholder analysis to structured judgements from 30 informants representing 10 stakeholder groups on 15 strategic objectives, covering influence, dependence, convergence, and divergence. This research finds that community health volunteers (231), the population and family development agency (230), the agriculture and food security office (228), and the health office (227) had the highest influence scores, a narrow range indicating a clustered rather than hierarchical network. Economics academics were among the least dependent actors and showed the strongest, though modest, divergence with the health office. Local food and most economic empowerment objectives were broadly supported, whereas mothers’ occupation and digital access to finance were contested. The main governance challenge is the limited integration of economic perspectives within an established health-oriented network. A sequenced coordination arrangement is proposed for deliberation: the population and family development agency coordinates, the health office leads nutrition implementation, the agriculture and food security office links local food systems, frontline actors support households, and economics academics contribute policy perspectives
