Abstract
Stunting among children under five years of age is one of the big problems in Indonesia. In general, stunting can be defined as a condition of chronic malnutrition, currently stunting has a fairly high prevalence in Indonesia. In Bandung City, the stunting prevalence rate in 2021 will be 26.4% with a total of 7,568 children, and in 2022 it will be 19.4% with a total of 5,660 children. The efforts made by the Bandung City Government to handle stunting cases have been quite well promoted. Even though the figure is still quite high, there has been an improvement compared to previous years. The hope of the Bandung City Government is that by 2023 the City of Bandung can further reduce the stunting rate by up to 14%. To realize community welfare, cooperation from various parties is needed, for example collaborating in handling stunting. This is an innovation program by the Bandung City Government in order to accelerate the reduction of stunting rates in Bandung City, which involves many parties, one of which is the Family Empowerment and Welfare Cadres (PKK). Making people empowered, have capacity and opportunities is important in increasing their participation in the collaborative process of reducing stunting. This research focuses on community empowerment strategies based on a case study of the participation of PKK cadres in Bandung City in handling stunting.
