ABSTRACT This study aims to determine how the Manado City Government's policy implementation, through the Food Agency, is implementing the Affordable Food Movement (GPM) Program. The study employed qualitative methods with a descriptive approach. Data collection was conducted through observation, interviews, and documentation. Data analysis employed the Miles and Huberman model, including data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results indicate that the implementation of the Affordable Food Movement Program in Manado City has been quite successful, based on aspects of communication, resources, disposition, and bureaucratic structure. This program helps communities obtain food at lower prices than market prices, thereby helping maintain purchasing power. Program implementation still faces challenges such as limited human resources, uneven information distribution, and inconsistent implementation schedules. The results also highlight the importance of strengthening inter-agency coordination, increasing implementing resources, and providing equitable access to information to enhance program effectiveness. The research recommends that the Manado City Food Agency improve the consistency of the GPM implementation schedule, expand program outreach, and increase resource support to ensure optimal and targeted program implementation.
