The Open Defecation Free program in Babakan Ciparay District has not been fully implemented due to limited land and the abundance of narrow alleys in the area. This research employs a qualitative method, with data collection techniques including interviews, field observations, and document studies.This research produces a strategy formulation based on the SWOT analysis technique. Research informant search method using purposive sampling. The research results show that the strengths include strong government policies, public outreach, and the development of health facilities. The weaknesses include low public knowledge and education levels, limited government budget, and a lack of supervisory personnel. The opportunities include monitoring by the district team, evaluation and monitoring efforts, and the provision of awards for communities that are 100% Open Defecation Free. To improve Open Defecation Free in Babakan Ciparay District, additional work programs need to be implemented in health centers and triggering locations.
