This study focuses on strategies to prevent stunting prevalence, which to date have shown inconsistent results. Several previous studies have stated that stunting prevalence cannot be prevented optimally because it is influenced by other factors, such as early marriage and low family literacy. This study uses a qualitative approach with in-depth interview techniques with a number of key informants, including families, community leaders, and health workers. The purpose of the interviews was to gain a deeper understanding of the effectiveness of stunting prevention efforts. The research findings show that the mechanism for preventing stunting prevalence is starting to show improvement. However, these efforts will be more optimal if there is synergy between families, community institutions, and the government in providing education, especially regarding the negative impacts of early marriage. Multi-party collaboration is an important key in building collective awareness and strengthening efforts to prevent stunting sustainably.

The purpose of the study was to determine the implementation of the Village Head's Leadership Style in Increasing Community Participation in Drainage Infrastructure Development in Ampibabo in Ampibabo Village, Ampibabo District, Parigi Moutong Regency. The type of research is descriptive with a qualitative approach; purposive informant determination technique; data collection through observation, interviews, documentation; and data analysis techniques using interactive models, namely data condensation, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results of the study showed that the Village Head's Leadership Style in Increasing Community Participation in Drainage Infrastructure Development in Ampibabo in Ampibabo Village, Ampibabo District, Parigi Moutong Regency has been implemented but has not been optimal. This can be seen in the instructive and consultative leadership styles, both of which have been implemented well. While the participation and delegation leadership styles have not been implemented as expected. The village head is expected to be able to encourage the community to participate so that drainage development runs quickly and smoothly for the progress of Ampibabo Village development. In addition, village officials (subordinates) can also increase their knowledge through formal and informal education so that the delegation given by the village head can be understood so that the task runs well.
