This study uses qualitative research methods with a descriptive approach. Data collection techniques include observation, interviews, and documentation. The theory according to William N. Dunn (2018), which consists of six criteria: Effectiveness, Efficiency, Adequacy, Equity, Responsiveness, and Eligibility. The research results show that Deli Serdang has successfully reduced the number of stunting cases significantly. However, there is a lack of community participation in supporting specific nutrition intervention activities. The resoources used, such as facilities, are not yet optimized, and the understanding capacity of posyandu cadres (comunity health workers) is still insufficient.
