Abstract

Stunting is a condition of growth failure in children caused by chronic malnutrition, especially in the first 1000 days of life, resulting in a child's height not being appropriate for their age.Medan City remains one of the loci for stunting prevention in North Sumatra among 15 regencies/cities.Therefore, the prevention and reduction of stunting rates become the responsibility of the Medan City government agencies, one of which is the Medan City Health Office.In the reduction of stunting at the Medan City Health Office, it is known that there are issues such as programs that have not been running smoothly and a lack of human resources at several community health centers in Medan City.The objective of this research is to describe the strategies of the Health Office in efforts to reduce stunting rates in Medan City.The research method used in this study is descriptive research with a qualitative approach.The research results indicate that the Health Office's strategy in efforts to reduce stunting rates in Medan City has been quite effective, as evidenced by the decrease in stunting rates in Medan City and the fulfillment of several indicators.

Abstract

The implementation of the Single Identity Number (SIN) policy through the integration of the National Identity Number (NIK) with the Taxpayer Identification Number (NPWP) represents a strategic effort by the Indonesian government to reform public administration and strengthen tax governance. Despite its strong regulatory foundation, the implementation of this policy at the local level has not fully achieved its intended outcomes. This study aims to analyze policy communication in the implementation of SIN at the local level, using a case study of the Primary Tax Office (KPP Pratama) Medan Belawan. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews, observation, and document analysis. The analytical framework is based on Charles O. Jones’ policy implementation model, which emphasizes organization, interpretation, and application. The findings reveal that policy communication has not been implemented optimally due to limited human resources, budget constraints, inconsistent communication practices, and differences in policy interpretation between implementers and target groups. This study highlights that effective, consistent, and well-coordinated policy communication is essential to ensure public understanding and participation in the implementation of SIN.
