Stunting continues to represent a significant public health dilemma, especially within low- and middle-income nations, where it detrimentally influences the growth and cognitive advancement of children. The concept of collaborative governance, characterized by the active involvement of diverse stakeholders, has garnered increasing acknowledgment as a feasible strategy to tackle this pressing concern. This investigation conducts a systematic review of the influence exerted by private sector participation in collaborative governance initiatives aimed at alleviating stunting. Employing a bibliometric analysis framework, we scrutinized a collection of scholarly articles sourced from Scopus-indexed journals to discern prevailing trends, pivotal themes, and existing voids within the literature. The objectives of our research encompass charting the progression of academic dialogue surrounding this issue, evaluating the degree of private sector engagement, and assessing its ramifications across various governance frameworks. The review adheres to a PRISMA methodology, thereby guaranteeing thorough coverage and methodological integrity. Our results elucidate an expanding repository of evidence that underscores the beneficial roles of private sector involvement in collaborative governance, particularly regarding resource mobilization, innovation, and program execution. Nevertheless, the review simultaneously uncovers obstacles such as misalignment of objectives, power disparities, and sustainability challenges that could potentially compromise these initiatives. The study concludes by proposing avenues for future research and implications for policy designed to augment the efficacy of public-private partnerships in combating stunting. This systematic bibliometric review enhances the comprehension of collaborative governance within the realm of public health and yields critical insights for policymakers and practitioners dedicated to the struggle against stunting.
