<![CDATA[This study examines the effect of Regional Inflation Control Team (TPID) policy implementation and food price monitoring on the perceived effectiveness of food price stabilization programs at the Food Security Agency of Garut Regency. A quantitative approach was adopted using a census method, involving respondents directly engaged in policy implementation and monitoring activities. Data were collected through structured Likert-scale questionnaires and analyzed using multiple linear regression to identify partial and simultaneous effects. Results show that TPID policy implementation and food price monitoring simultaneously have a significant effect on perceived program effectiveness (significance value = 0.000), based on data from 56 respondents. The coefficient of determination (R² = 0.758) indicates that 75.8% of the variation in perceived effectiveness is explained by these two variables, while the remaining 24.2% is attributed to factors outside the model. Partially, both variables significantly affect perceived program effectiveness, with TPID policy implementation showing a relatively stronger influence. The data used are perception-based, collected from implementers directly involved in policy and monitoring activities. Operational challenges—such as delays in real-time data input, limited monitoring system integration, and variations in implementer commitment—are interpreted as contextual factors contributing to the model's unexplained variance, rather than directly measured variables. This study underscores the importance of integrating effective policy implementation with reliable, real-time monitoring systems to enhance decision-making quality in maintaining food price stability. Practical implications include strengthening inter-agency coordination, improving reporting discipline, and optimizing real-time data systems for more responsive, evidence-based food price stabilization programs,]]>
