This qualitative method aims to understand social meaning through interviews with informants from the Health Office, Duta Genre, and the Regional Planning Agency. Interactive analysis is used in data analysis, as well as for data validity using triangulation of sources and techniques. The results of the study show that the Acceleration of Stunting Reduction (TPPS) of the West Java Province is tasked with coordinating, synergizing, and evaluating efforts to reduce stunting through cross-sector collaboration. At the Regency/City level, TPPS integrates regional apparatus and stakeholders, including TP-PKK.
