<![CDATA[Stunting hurts the physical growth of toddlers. Several contributing factors to stunting include nutritional aspects, exclusive breastfeeding practices, educational levels, maternal knowledge, and a history of low birth weight (BBLR). Efforts to support adequate dietary intake for children require mothers' capabilities in providing caregiving and ensuring a healthy family environment's sanitation. To enhance the handling of stunting, the Indonesian government issued Presidential Regulation No. 72 of 2021, titled "Accelerating the Reduction of Stunting." This regulation emphasizes a holistic, integrative, and quality approach through coordination, synergy, and synchronization among stakeholders. From 2018 to the present, Bojonegoro has recorded a decline in stunting rates. In 2018, the prevalence of stunting was 8.76% (6,941 toddlers), which then decreased to 7.45% (5,868 toddlers) in 2019. The stunting rate continued to decrease in 2020 to 6.84% (5,192 toddlers) and in 2021 to 5.71% (4,277 toddlers). In February 2022, the stunting rate was noted to have further decreased to 5.21% (3,804 toddlers). The latest data from August 2022, based on baby weighing results, recorded 74,626 toddlers with a stunting prevalence of 2,225, or 2.97%. This research aims to plan efforts to accelerate the reduction of stunting rates. Keywords: strategy, stunting, toddler]]>
