<![CDATA[This study aims to analyze subdistrict government capacity in implementing the convergence of stunting prevention and acceleration of stunting reduction in Rokan Hilir Regency and to formulate appropriate policy recommendations to improve implementation effectiveness. The main issues examined include low coverage of stunting intervention services, suboptimal implementation of subdistrict pre-development planning forums, and ineffective program monitoring and evaluation. Problem prioritization was conducted using the Urgency, Seriousness, and Growth (USG) method, while alternative policy options were evaluated using Bardach’s policy feasibility analysis based on four criteria: technical feasibility, economic and financial possibility, political viability, and administrative operability. The assessment involved nine stakeholders associated with stunting prevention and reduction programs. The findings indicate that low service coverage constitutes the priority issue requiring immediate intervention. The policy evaluation assigned the highest score, 153 points, to the alternative involving the development of technical guidelines for implementing the Stunting Reduction Acceleration Team (Tim Percepatan Penurunan Stunting or TPPS). These findings demonstrate that strengthening subdistrict government capacity requires clear operational guidelines governing the division of responsibilities, cross-sector coordination mechanisms, intervention implementation, and monitoring and evaluation. Therefore, the recommended policy is the issuance of a Regent Regulation establishing technical guidelines for implementing the convergence of stunting prevention and acceleration of stunting reduction in Rokan Hilir Regency.]]>
