Collaborative Accountability in Institutional Collaboration in Handling Stunting in Southwest Papua Province

Abstract

Collaborative accountability is a crucial element in addressing stunting because inter-institutional collaboration requires information transparency, joint discussion forums, and collective responsibility for effective and accountable program implementation. In practice, collaborative accountability within the Stunting Reduction Acceleration Team in Southwest Papua Province still faces various obstacles. This study aims to analyze collaborative accountability within institutional collaboration within the Stunting Reduction Acceleration Team in Southwest Papua Province. This study used a qualitative approach with a case study strategy. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation, then analyzed through the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results indicate that inter-institutional information transparency has not been implemented comprehensively, joint discussion forums have not been conducted consistently, and shared responsibilities in program implementation have not been strongly integrated. Furthermore, program evaluation is still sectoral, so collaborative accountability has not been able to effectively strengthen inter-institutional coordination. Collaborative accountability within institutional collaboration within the Stunting Reduction Acceleration Team in Southwest Papua Province has not been optimal, so strengthening information transparency, joint discussion forums, and collective responsibility between institutions is necessary for more transparent and sustainable collaboration.
