Abstract

WHO has set a maximum limit of stunting sufferers that is 20% of the total number of children under five. In Indonesia, the percentage of stunting toddlers in 2018 according to the results of the Basic Health Research was 30.8% even reaching 37.2% in 2013. The number of stunting in Demak in 2013 was 50.28% (50,780 toddlers). Various efforts and programs have been carried out but have not reached maximum results, in 2019 the incidence of stunting in the Demak Regency is still 50.23% (48,829 children under five years old) and 4.29% (6,129 children under five years old) potentially stunting. The purpose of this study was to deter-mine the policies and strategies for stunting prevention through com-munity empowerment models. This research used a systematic review design. Articles were obtained from various sources and then filtered to get the core articles to be analyzed. One of the results of the research is that the BKKBN has developed the Kampung KB program. The spirit of forming and establishing Kampung KB throughout the archipelago has resulted in hundreds of Kampung KB. The presence of Kampung KB aimed to improve the quality of life of the community at the vil-lage level or equivalent through the Bangga Kencana program and the development of other sectors to create quality small families including on the family health side. It is hoped that the influence of the optimiza-tion of the Kampung KB as a strategy for the acceleration of stunting countermeasures.
