Drafting the Village Head Decree for the Stunting Deliberation Team

In the 2026 fiscal year, this Decree (SK) is not merely a formality in a stack of administrative files. It represents the operational foundation for the implementation team to formulate effective stunting reduction convergence strategies. With a strong SK backed by a valid legal basis, the village government has the legality to allocate the Village Revenue and Expenditure Budget (APB Desa), form a competent committee, and carry out integrated cross-sectoral coordination.

This technical guide dissects the strategic functions, regulatory foundations, organizational structures, and the technical procedures for drafting the Stunting Deliberation Decree for the 2026 fiscal year. Organizing the Village Stunting Deliberation (Rembuk Stunting) is an inseparable part of the annual cycle of village development planning (RKP Desa). Without a correctly drafted decree, the deliberation process risks losing its accountability and legal standing before stakeholders.

For the entire village apparatus, understanding every legality and technical component within this Village Head Decision is vital to ensure a 2026 governance cycle that is progressive and outcome-oriented.

I. Juridical Foundations for the 2026 Stunting Deliberation Decree

The drafting of the SK is based on a robust hierarchy of regulations, spanning from national laws to regional mandates. The primary foundation is Law Number 6 of 2014 concerning Villages, which has been updated through Law Number 3 of 2024. This national regulation provides broad autonomous authority for villages to manage community empowerment, particularly in meeting minimum basic health service standards for residents.

At a more technical level, Presidential Regulation (Perpres) Number 72 of 2021 concerning the Acceleration of Stunting Reduction remains the primary guideline, instructing all levels of government to perform integrated and sustainable interventions.

Furthermore, the Village Ministry Regulation regarding the Operational Guidelines for Village Fund Priorities for the 2026 fiscal year clearly states that stunting prevention and reduction are positioned as top priority scales. To strengthen legality at the regional level, these national laws are supported by regent regulations regarding village authority in integrated stunting prevention in their respective regencies.

By comprehensively listing these legal references in the “Considering” (Recalling) section of the SK, the Village Head’s decision will have strong administrative binding power recognized by oversight bodies.

II. Duties and Authorities of the Implementation Team

The activity implementation team (TPK) formed through this decree carries a heavy responsibility to ensure the quality and smoothness of the deliberation process. Their duties cover deep substantive aspects, not limited merely to meeting logistics.

Based on the 2026 SK Rembuk Stunting draft, the primary duties of the implementation team include:

• Drafting a detailed schedule of activities and setting the agenda to ensure the deliberation is effective and targeted.
• Preparing materials from service monitoring results and stunting prevention convergence evaluations collected by Human Development Cadres (KPM).
• Identifying target groups requiring urgent intervention, such as high-risk pregnant women, malnourished toddlers, and female adolescents.
• Documenting every aspiration and drafting the proposed activity script to be presented at the Healthy Village House (RDS).

All tasks are performed within a hierarchical and transparent village administration reporting system. The team leader reports progress periodically to the Village Head to ensure synchronization with medium and long-term development policies.

III. Ideal Organizational Structure for the Deliberation Team

The selection of personnel to fill the 2026 structure must be selective, considering individual capacity and existing duties (Tupoksi). Formally, the Village Head acts as the person in charge (ex-officio). However, for daily operations, the team is run by a Chairman and Secretary with administrative and planning competencies.

1. The Leadership Core

Ideally, the Chairman of the Implementation Team is held by the Secretary of the Village (Sekdes). As the primary coordinator of administration and planning, the Secretary has the managerial capacity to integrate stunting usulan (proposals) into the RKP Desa document for 2026.

The Secretary of the Team is best suited for the Human Development Cadre (KPM). The KPM is the holder of real field data recorded in the Convergence Scorecard. They possess in-depth knowledge of the health conditions of toddlers and pregnant women from house-to-house visits.

2. Multi-Sectoral Membership

The team must involve diverse cross-sectoral elements to ensure inclusivity:

• Human Development Cadres (KPM) as the primary data providers.
• Village Officials, specifically the Head of Welfare/Service (Kasi Pelayanan), who technically oversees basic services.
• The Village PKK Driving Team as the main mobilizer for nutrition education and parenting.
• Posyandu Cadres representing health service units in each hamlet to provide field perspectives.
• Community or Religious Leaders who assist in health policy socialization.

The role of the Village Assistant must also be cited as a technical resource person. Professional assistants ensure the process stays within the legal and transparent corridors of Village Fund usage.

IV. Integrating Results into RKP Desa 2026

A frequent administrative error is separating the Stunting Deliberation from the annual planning cycle. The Stunting Deliberation is essentially a “pre-deliberation” forum aimed at agreeing on integrated interventions before they are finalized in the Village Musyawarah (Musdes).

The results must be documented in an official minutes (berita acara) that becomes a mandatory attachment to the 2026 RKP Desa. Without a valid SK, the health or nutrition proposals in the 2026 APB Desa could be deemed invalid for failing to follow the participatory procedures mandated by government regulations.

V. Technical Precision and Administrative Validity

In finalizing the 2026 SK draf, three technical aspects must be meticulously observed:

1. Fiscal Year Consistency: Ensure the fiscal year is written consistently across the title, body, and attachments. Errors here can disrupt the document verification process during fund disbursement.
2. Letter Numbering: Follow the official script and classification codes set in village or regent regulations regarding archives. The date of the SK must be logical—established before the actual deliberation takes place.
3. Legalization: Ensure attachments include full names and specific roles. The SK must bear the original signature of the Village Head and the wet stamp of the village government.

VI. Performance Evaluation and Accountability

After the deliberation, the team must draft a final report. This includes a summary of the deliberation process, the list of agreed activities, and field constraints found during the convergence process. This performance report serves as vital evaluation material for the Village Head to assess the effectiveness of the health programs planned for the coming year.

Accurate performance documentation also assists the village in continuous health data updates. These results are used to refine the stunting prevention strategy for the subsequent period. Professionalism in managing these tasks, as regulated by the SK, proves that public health is managed with serious intent, not as a side-activity without clear goals.

Conclusion

The issuance of the 2026 Stunting Deliberation Decree (SK) is tangible proof of a village’s commitment to the national agenda. With a robust legal foundation, clear division of duties, and a competent team structure, the village possesses the administrative and social capital to execute stunting convergence effectively.

Generations of excellence begin with correct administrative commitment at the village level. Ensure your implementation team is verified and ready to serve as the legal basis for high-quality human development in the 2026 fiscal year.
