Abstract

This study aims to determine the role of religious leaders in supporting the acceleration of stunting reduction in East Nusa Tenggara. The study was conducted using a qualitative descriptive approach with informants: 10 religious leaders who were determined by Purposive Sampling using one of the inclusion criteria, namely from religious groups with the largest number of people in Indonesia and NTT Province, namely Islam, Protestantism, and Catholicism and 10 mothers of stunted toddlers and are receiving intervention programs from the Kupang Regency government. Data were collected by means of in-depth interviews, then comments or statements from informants were recorded by the prepared tool. Furthermore, the data were analyzed in four stages, namely data collection, data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results of the study showed that in general the perspective of religious leaders was very good that stunting was a problem of chronic malnutrition that had an impact on the quality of human resources. The form of support from religious leaders was to involve the government in efforts to change the pattern of nutrition and public health through nutrition advocacy activities, public health nutrition governance, and ensuring the involvement of the religious sector in health. Conclusion: religious leaders can be partners with the government in accelerating stunting reduction in NTT Province.
