ABSTRACT 

Stunting is a public health problem that remains a serious challenge in Indonesia, including in North Musi Rawas Regency, South Sumatra Province. The high prevalence of stunting in this region demonstrates the need to strengthen the implementation of stunting prevention policies that are not only top-down, but also integrated down to the community level. The government has established a policy to accelerate stunting reduction through Presidential Regulation Number 72 of 2021, but the effectiveness of its implementation at the local level still requires continuous strengthening and evaluation. Counseling was provided in Mura Tara Regency with Strengthening the Implementation of Community-Based Stunting Prevention Policies Through Mini-Policy Workshops and Targeted Counseling for Cadres and Program Managers, aiming to increase the effectiveness of stunting prevention in North Musi Rawas Regency by synchronizing regional policies with implementation at the community level to accelerate the achievement of the national stunting prevalence reduction target through mini-policy workshops and counseling. This activity was carried out on April 30, 2025. The implementation method used a participatory approach based on policy evaluation, targeting mothers of toddlers, health cadres, and program managers. The activity was carried out through dissemination of the results of the evaluation research on stunting prevention policies, focus group discussions, program planning simulations, and activity evaluation using pre-tests and post-tests supported by participatory observation during the community service process. The evaluation of this activity went smoothly and received a positive response from the participants, indicating that the extension method applied was effective. This community service activity is expected to contribute to strengthening the implementation of more contextual, effective, and sustainable stunting prevention policies through a community-based approach in increasing evaluative and recommendatory capacity for stunting policies.
