The digital era transforms behavior change; this study aims to determine the role of local
governments in the digital era and the pandemic in alleviating stunting in Indonesia. This type
of research is qualitative; the research method uses in-depth interviews and triangulation for
data analysis. Sources of data from Key informants and informants from the Department and
the community in Loa Kulu District, Kutai Kartanegara. The results showed that the program
“Deserves Healthy Sports” Kutai regional government applied mammal, in Kalimantan,
Indonesia, has been applied in various areas through online media such as health programs.
However, the socialisation of this health program is still lacking, and the health program is
also not optimal; it is shown that the level of public health, especially regarding stunting, is
still quite high. The program for the community’s welfare to alleviate poverty has not been
achieved because the government’s efforts have experienced many obstacles in its
implementation due to the pandemic, such as many residents who do not work due to limited
employment opportunities. Residents do not have other work skills; another factor is
distributing food. Does not support it, so that in order to collect data and distribute assistance
for stunting toddlers, they still often experience obstacles.
