Abstract: This research aims to explore the role of advocacy in influencing the formation, implementation, and evaluation of stunting prevention policies in Indonesia. The research employed a qualitative descriptive approach. Secondary data were obtained from official government documents, non-governmental organization reports, academic studies, and relevant mass media. Data analysis was conducted through content analysis techniques with stages of in-depth reading, thematic coding, and information categorization. The validity of the results was strengthened through data triangulation, while reliability was maintained through consistency in the analysis and interpretation process. The research findings show that stunting is still a serious chronic nutrition problem, characterized by limited access to nutrition and health services, low nutrition literacy in the community, and weak coordination between institutions. Structured and collaborative policy advocacy, including through the use of artificial intelligence (AI), is considered to be able to help identify risks early, design targeted interventions, and encourage more effective budget allocation. The conclusion of this study confirms that advocacy has an important contribution in encouraging more responsive and sustainable stunting prevention policies. Practically, the results of this study encourage the need for increased government and community commitment through greater investment, cross-sector collaboration, and the use of digital technology to support policies that can improve the quality of life of Indonesian children.
