This study examined community involvement in stunting prevention in Gelangsar Village, Gunungsari District, West Lombok, and identified enabling and constraining factors. A qualitative case study was conducted from February to July 2026. Data were collected through overt observation, structured interviews, and documentation involving village government, health cadres, family assistance personnel, parents, youth, and community members selected purposively until information was considered sufficient. Credibility was strengthened through source and technique triangulation, while analysis followed data collection, reduction, display, and verification. Community involvement took the form of monthly integrated health-post attendance, supplementary feeding, family development and father classes, parental nutrition and caregiving practices, youth health awareness, and collective environmental cleaning. Village records reported 23 stunted children among 224 targeted children in 2025, or 10.27%. Participation was supported by village programs, cadres, health workers, local food resources, and assistance for vulnerable households. Constraints included uneven health information, limited paternal involvement, traditional beliefs, passive participation, low household income, restricted program budgets, and inadequate waste disposal. Sustainable prevention requires shared planning, stronger father and youth engagement, sanitation improvement, continuous education, and community participation in monitoring and evaluation.
