Abstract
Abstract. Stunting is a health problem that can reduce the quality of human resources. One of the parties who plays an important role in overcoming stunting is posyandu cadres. The role of posyandu cadres as community empowerers is very much needed in improving community welfare through health. This research aims to determine the role of posyandu cadres in reducing stunting rates in Sakambang Wanayasa Village, Purwakarta Regency. This study used descriptive qualitative method. Data collection techniques used were observation, interviews, documentation and the assistance of PRA techniques. The research results show that posyandu cadres have carried out their role in carrying out the mission to reduce stunting rates, but it can be said that this is not optimal. This can be seen from the activities carried out by cadres such as providing education about stunting, measuring and weighing toddlers to detect stunting, conducting home visits, providing additional food and vitamins to pregnant mothers and toddlers. In carrying out their role, posyandu cadres also receive support from both health workers and local village officials. However, in carrying out its role there are obstacles, namely the lack of cadre knowledge and education that must be provided regularly, inadequate posyandu infrastructure, low community participation and knowledge in responding to a problem, and funding for stunting prevention that is not timely.
