Abstract: Pentahelix element participation refers to collaboration between various important elements in society, such as government, private sector, civil society organizations, academics, media, and individuals to overcome the problem of stunting in children. Stunting is a public health problem that occurs due to malnutrition and lack of care during the growth and development of children. Through this collaboration, efforts are made to increase public understanding of the importance of proper nutrition and care for children and improve access and availability of nutritious food. In addition, efforts were also made to improve the availability of clean water and good sanitation, also strengthen the health system to provide adequate health services for children and mothers. The participation of Pentahelix elements can produce an integrated and sustainable strategy in dealing with stunting problems in children. This method can help improve the quality of human resources in the future and strengthen sustainable development.
