Permasalahan gizi di Indonesia masih merupakan pekerjaan rumah yang besar, dimana menurut Riskesdas tahun 2018 menunjukkan 17,7% balita di Indonesia masih bermasalah dengan status gizinya. Pada tahun 2020, pandemi Covid-19 yang terjadi berdampak secara langsung terhadap pelayanan kesehatan, salah satunya pelayanan gizi. Dengan berbagai regulasi maupun kebijakan yang bergulir di masa pandemi, salah satunya pembatasan pelayanan, evaluasi pada pelaksanaannya harus ada dan sigap untuk disikapi.Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui implementasi pelayanan gizi pada bayi dan balita di masa pandemi Covid-19 di wilayah kerja UPTD Puskesmas Cinere. Desain penelitian yang digunakan ialah penelitian kualitatif dengan metode wawancara mendalam dan telaah dokumen. Kerangka konsep mengacu pada model proses implementasi kebijakan Van Matter dan Van Horn dengan pendekatan critical thinking analysis. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kinerja implementasi pelayanan gizi pada bayi dan balita belum terlaksana dengan optimal. Hal ini dibuktikan dengan adanya peningkatan masalah gizi yang cukup signifikan di wilayah kerja UPTD Puskesmas Cinere selama masa pandemi. Selain itu mayoritas programnya pun belum memenuhi capaian target tahunan. Hasil analisa kausalitas di masing-masing variabel ditemukan jika ketakutan dan kekhawatiran ibu, kurangnya sumber daya, baik tenaga kesehatan dansarana prasarana, serta kurangnya pemahaman para pelaksana merupakan faktor paling menonjol yang mempengaruhinya. Namun dengan segala keterbatasan yang ada, Kader Posyandu Pangkalan Jati Baru dinilai sebagai pelaku positive deviance dan Posyandu Keliling sebagai creative action yang selanjutnya memungkinkan untuk diaplikasikan di daerah lain. Penelitian ini menghasilkan 3 rekomendasi utama. Untuk jangka pendek, rekomendasi rekruitmen tenaga kesehatan. Untuk jangka menengah, rekomendasi pemanfaatan teknologi informasi. Untuk jangan Panjang, rekomendasi pembangunan penambahan Puskesmas baru (Unit Pelaksana Fungsional).
