Abstract

The new approach to state financial management began with the introduction of Law Number 17 of 2003 on State Finance, Law Number 1 of 2004 on State Treasury, and Law Number 15 of 2004 on the Audit of State Financial Management and Accountability. The implementation of Minister of Religious Affairs Regulation Number 32 of 2021, which essentially serves as a policy or program within the Ministry of Religious Affairs, outlines the procedures for appointing treasury officials. This process will significantly influence the transparency and accountability of budget management. The success of these policies in achieving their intended outcomes naturally depends on factors related to policy, organizational structure, and the surrounding environment. The competence of frontline implementers is the competence of policy implementers, while the competence of implementers is a work ability of each policy implementer which includes aspects of knowledge, skills, and work attitudes in accordance with the expected standardization. Minister of Religious Affairs Regulation Number 32 of 2021 Article 2 Paragraph 5 states that state treasury officials, namely Paying Warrant Signing Officers, Commitment Making Officials and Expenditure Treasurers must have a certificate of competence. With regard to the prerequisites to be able to carry out duties as a state treasury official, they must have competence, where one of the indicators of having this competence is eligibility indicated by the certificate obtained after following the certification process. To achieve good policy implementation cannot be achieved in a short time where there must be several stages taken. The first stage is called the fullness stage where it is very important to be qualified to be eligible for office, the next stage is quality, namely how the work is carried out better and who does it.

Abstract

This study evaluates the effectiveness of teacher certification policy in addressing the teacher shortage crisis in Indonesia. Using a qualitative approach, data were collected from interviews with certified teachers, principals, and policymakers to understand the implementation of the policy, the challenges faced, and its impact on education quality. The results show that although teacher certification can improve pedagogical skills, implementation is often hampered by inadequate operational support, uneven distribution of certified teachers, and budget constraints. Inequitable distribution of teachers, especially in remote areas, as well as budget and ongoing training issues are key issues that reduce the effectiveness of the policy. To increase the impact of the certification policy, better operational support at the school level, incentives for teachers in less developed areas, and most importantly, more effective budget planning are needed. These findings provide important insights for policy makers and education practitioners in designing more comprehensive strategies to improve education quality in Indonesia.

Abstract

Makan Bergizi Gratis (MBG) is one of the government’s initiatives to improve school children’s nutrition and reduce stunting rates in Indonesia. However, its implementation in West Bandung Regency still faces various challenges. The occurrence of mass food poisoning among students after consuming MBG meals highlights weak food quality monitoring, limited resources, and suboptimal coordination between schools, food providers, and related agencies. This study aims to analyze the implementation of the MBG program in West Bandung Regency using a descriptive qualitative approach. The findings reveal that the MBG program has not been fully implemented in accordance with the expected standards. The main inhibiting factors include weak monitoring systems, lack of food safety education, and inadequate cross-sectoral collaboration. Therefore, strengthening monitoring mechanisms, enhancing implementers’ capacity, and encouraging community involvement are essential to ensure that the MBG program is safe, healthy, and sustainable.

Abstract

This study analyzes the intensification of the mobile service program for recording Electronic Identity Cards (e-ID) ahead of the 2024 Regional Election in Cirebon City, which targets 4,387 high school students who have not yet recorded. Using a qualitative approach with a case study method, the research adopted Muchlis Hamdi's theoretical framework to analyze three dimensions of implementation: productivity, linearity, and efficiency. The data were collected through in-depth interviews with eight key informants, including Disdukcapil officials, the implementation team, and school representatives, supported by observations and documentation studies. The results indicated that the program achieved 74.18% of the effective target of 4,268 students in terms of productivity. This suboptimality can be attributed to demographic complexity and target group resistance. In terms of linearity, the program exhibited adequate balance and compatibility across five key domains: implementers who possessed the necessary competencies and qualifications; procedures, time, and cost aspects. Despite encountering infrastructure challenges, the optimization of limited resources in a cost-efficient manner. However, the budget aspect revealed dynamics that necessitated attention. The program exhibited a solution-oriented approach and operational flexibility in increasing first-time voter participation.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the juridical and constitutional implications, political stability dynamics, and institutional effectiveness following the Constitutional Court’s decisions on electoral reform, particularly Decision 135/PUU-XXII/2024. Using a qualitative method with a doctrinal-normative and policy analysis approach, the research examines the effectiveness of Constitutional Court rulings in relation to political compliance, electoral system restructuring, and central–regional governance relations. The findings reveal that although Constitutional Court decisions are erga omnes, many non–self-executing rulings are only partially implemented due to the subordination of judicial authority to pragmatic political consensus between the Legislature and the Executive. The ruling on electoral separation offers administrative and humanitarian benefits and has the potential to strengthen regional representation and policy focus; however, it also produces significant risks, including the emergence of two major political cycles in close succession and heightened politicization of Acting Regional Heads during the 2–2.5 years transitional period. Furthermore, the effectiveness of the national Legislature and the Executive remain constrained by structural political fragmentation inherent in the proportional electoral system, whereas the separation of local elections contributes only marginally to improving the effectiveness of regional parliaments and does not resolve the broader issue of national political cohesion. The study concludes that the success of electoral reform depends on consistent enforcement of Constitutional Court rulings, coalition stability, and institutional designs capable of adapting to both national and regional political dynamics.

Abstract

This research aims to deepen our theoretical understanding of buying and selling activities through online platforms, specifically e-commerce. From a practical perspective, Indonesia lacks comprehensive laws and regulations concerning electronic transactions. This research will involve a qualitative approach centered on a literature review that examines books, literature, notes and reports relevant to the research problem. Researchers can access and utilize data directly without conducting fieldwork by leveraging existing library resources. The Peraturan Menteri Perdagangan Nomor 31 Tahun 2023 was enacted in response to concerns raised by local MSMEs about a decline in their business turnover due to the presence of TikTok Shop, a social-commerce platform. The government needs to continue to monitor and evaluate the implementation of this regulation and understand the impact between business actors and the government so that it becomes an effective tool to encourage growth and innovation in Indonesian digital trade. The contents of the Peraturan Menteri Perdagangan Nomor 31 Tahun 2023 concerning prohibiting TikTok Shop and other social media only from operating as online shop services are clear.

Abstract

This study aims to examine housing and settlement problems, especially in the Jakarta area as a result of population growth which has caused a very large population by identifying the number of housing needs and housing deficits. This study takes the object of the city of Jakarta as a case study and focuses on the housing sector which includes 2731 residential neighborhoods (RW) where the city occupies an area of 664.01 km2. Studies show the cause of the problem is caused by relatively stable city growth with a growth rate of around 1% over the past 20 years, which is reflected in the number of families, which amount to 3,627,111 families, with a housing density of 5462 families/km2, living in 2,242,163 housing units. The findings show that another cause is the spread of slum settlements in the city, which total 445 RWs, which means 16.30% of the total RWs. The results of the research show that so far, the problem has not been resolved.

Abstract

This study examines the arrangement and empowerment of street vendors (PKL) in the Alun-Alun Kota Bandung area, which continue to face various challenges despite policy reforms introduced through Regional Regulation Number 11 of 2024. The research aims to analyze the policy capacity of the Bandung City Government using the policy capacity framework, encompassing analytical, operational, and political dimensions at the individual, organizational, and system levels. A descriptive qualitative method was employed through observation, in-depth interviews with 10 informants, and documentation studies. The findings reveal that analytical capacity has not been fully based on the actual needs of street vendors, as reflected in the low occupancy rate of relocation sites. In the operational dimension, policy implementation remains ineffective due to limited coordination and resources. Meanwhile, in the political dimension, the policy has not gained strong legitimacy because of the minimal participation of street vendors in the policymaking process. These findings indicate that the limitations of policy capacity are systemic in nature, highlighting the need for comprehensive strengthening to achieve more effective and sustainable policies

Abstract

This study explores the implementation of collaborative governance in preventing sexual violence against women and children in West Java Province, Indonesia. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, the research focuses on multi-stakeholder collaboration involving government agencies (e.g., DP3AKB, UPTD PPA), civil society organizations, academics, the private sector, and the media. Data collection methods include literature review, passive observation, semi-structured interviews, and documentation. The analysis employs the interactive model of Miles and Huberman, emphasizing data reduction, display, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal that although formal regulations such as regional laws and governor decrees exist, practical implementation is still constrained by fragmented coordination, limited trust, and unequal stakeholder participation. DP3AKB functions as a facilitative leader in coordinating various actors, yet challenges remain in institutional design and sustaining a collaborative process. The study concludes that collaborative governance, supported by the Pentahelix model, holds significant potential for advancing preventive strategies, but requires stronger mechanisms for dialogue, trust-building, and inclusive decision-making.
