Indonesia was once the fifth country with the highest number of stunting cases in the world. This context shows the importance of government involvement in addressing stunting. The government's current focus on other programs poses a threat to the low stunting rate target set for 2024. Moreover, with the existence of two programs, the nutritious school lunch program and the national capital development program, the national budget allocation is focused on these two programs. When examining the proportional allocation of the 2025 national budget, the budget allocation for health is only Rp197.8 trillion, which includes efforts to reduce stunting rates. This study aims to improve both the conceptual framework and planning of the new stunting institution, which is urgently needed to establish a new focus in addressing stunting in Indonesia. The methods used in this study are legal-normative, with a legislative approach, a comparative approach, and a conceptual approach. The results of the study indicate that the institutional concept of stunting in Indonesia is regulated in Presidential Regulation No. 72/2021, named the Stunting Reduction Acceleration Team, which is vulnerable to losing focus in implementing national stunting programs due to its organizational structure. It has been recommended that Indonesia should adopt the concept used in the Philippines by merging stunting reduction functions into a single agency under the President directly, ensuring that stunting reduction efforts also focus on public health guidelines and can be carried out by an independent organizational unit without overlapping roles among the agency’s officials.
