becomes shorter than normal children his age and has a delay in thinking. The incidence of stunting in
Indonesia is quite high sostunting is becoming a priority health problem now. An effective strategy is
needed to control stunting in Indonesia. The aim of this review was to explore the stunting management
strategies to potentially implement in Indonesia. A literature review design was used to explore the stunting
management strategies. Literature study of 15 articles retrieved from the journal database of Science
Direct, Proquest, Scopus, and EBSCO in the last 5 years using keywords stunting, management, rural
areas, and community based. Data were analyzed in tables consist of title, author, year, sample,
methodology, and result. Control and preventionstunting could done through integrated nutrition
interventions. Strategy Specific nutritional interventions such as providing supplementation and
supplementary food plus nutritional interventions including non-health interventions, improving the
family's economy, access and utilization of clean water, sanitation (especially latrines and safe septic
tanks), which are urgently needed to support personal hygiene behavior and the environment .
Interventions can use mother's counseling and support methods regularly by health workers by involving
health cadres. Specific and sensitive intervention strategies are effective strategies within stunting control
and prevention. Monitoring and evaluation of nutritional knowledge, attitudes and practices coupled with
an assessment of the nutritional status and morbidity of mothers and children is also very necessary in
controlling and preventing stunting in Indonesia.
