Stunting remains a serious public health problem in Indonesia, while the potential of cash waqf, estimated at IDR 180 trillion per year, remains underutilised for conditional social protection programmes. This study aims to analyse the implementation barriers of a waqf‑based Conditional Cash Transfer (CCT) model for accelerating stunting reduction in Indonesia. A qualitative literature study was conducted using an institutional analysis approach based on Scott’s three‑pillar framework (regulative, normative, cultural‑cognitive). Results show that the failure to implement the model is not caused by technical weaknesses but by misalignment with all three institutional pillars: fragmented inter‑institutional coordination (regulative pillar), low nazhir professionalism (normative pillar), and low public waqf literacy at only 50.48 (cultural‑cognitive pillar). The findings imply that simultaneous intervention across all pillars is required, including a presidential regulation‑based coordination mechanism, mandatory nazhir certification, and a national literacy campaign led by religious scholars. This shifts policy focus from technical design improvements toward holistic institutional environment transformation. The study is limited by reliance on secondary data; future research should conduct field surveys to validate the proposed model.
