Abstract
Stunting is still a problem, especially in Pemalang District, Central Java. Based on the data in May 2019, the number of stunting children under five in Pemalang Regency reached 107 children in 10 sub-districts. In order to accelerate the handling of stunting, the Pemalang Regent issued a Regent's Decree Number 188.4/9611/2019 Regarding to the Formation of the Team for the Acceleration of Stunting Prevention and Control which involves 14 Regional Apparatus Organizations in stunting prevention. The researchers used a qualitative descriptive method in this study. The results of the field finding indicate that the implementation of stunting management in Pemalang Regency has not fully involved the community. The implementation of stunting management only involves two related agencies, namely the Health Office and the Regional Planning Agency. Therefore, in implementing policies in the current era of good governance, the principle of participation is seriously needed. It is in line with the three pillars of good governance: government, private and community. Without public participation, it can be said that policy implementation will not be carried out optimally.
