The determinants of stunting are complex and multisectoral. Increasing stakeholders’ engagement with the relevant multisector partners in stunting prevention and control is essential and challenging. This article aimed to describe the stakeholders’ engagement process in the stunting prevention and control programs in Lombok Barat, Indonesia. This descriptive study was conducted with multisector stakeholders as the study population in Lombok Barat District, Indonesia, from August – December 2022. Data were collected through observations and documents. Data analysis was done descriptively. This study showed that stakeholders’ engagement is a continuous activity to raise their awareness concerning stunting issues and encourage them to participate in the programs actively. Needs assessment and internal planning development, lobbying and advocacy, raising leader commitment, development planning and strategies, and capacity building were accomplished in this study to engage related stakeholders in the stunting interventions in Lombok Barat. The stakeholders who should be involved in the programs are not limited to the stakeholders from the health sector but must include inter-sectoral stakeholders due to the complexity of the stunting determinants. Moreover, it is necessary to develop key messages to increase the stakeholders’ engagement according to their own needs. Additionally, leadership, leaders’ awareness of health issues, and commitment were identified as the main social capital for community action in the stunting prevention and control efforts.
