Evaluation Study of Stunting Intervention Target Setting in Bangka Belitung Province

Abstract

The results of the evaluation study with the adequacy of the accuracy of the targets
of stunting interventions can provide greater leverage when used as the basis for
formulating a policy and program. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of policy
implementation and program target setting in stunting intervention programs. The
research method used a qualitative research design that is operationalized following a
spec of the Korten Conformity Model, which consists of aspects of stunting intervention
programs, program targets or benefits, and program implementors. Data analysis was
carried out through an iteration process by integrating findings from desk reviews and indepth interviews using a descriptive analysis approach with Nvivo versus 12 software. The
data report uses quotes to answer the question: Have the targets or beneficiaries of the
program been set appropriately? Triangulation analysis techniques are used to obtain
mutual validity and strength of relationships between data from various sources. The
results showed the suitability of the target group's needs with the benefits received and
the ability of the implementer to carry out the required tasks even though they needed
improvement over time. This study recommends quality, precise, orderly, and integrated
data collection to ensure the accuracy of convergent target setting and intervention
programs. Local governments must prioritize resources for specific and nutrient-sensitive
intervention programs to be implemented and ensure the availability of convergent
financing for such interventions.
