Abstract

The contrast between the global acclaim of Gayo Arabica coffee and the ongoing impoverishment of its growers in Bener Meriah Regency, Indonesia, underscores a significant deficiency in policy execution. This study seeks to evaluate the implementation of the local coffee farmer empowerment policy, based on Qanun No. 16 of 2016 and executed by the Department of Agriculture and Food. Data were gathered utilizing a qualitative case study methodology, employing in-depth interviews and document analysis. Thematic analysis was performed utilizing George C. Edwards III’s policy implementation model, concentrating on four variables: communication, resources, disposition, and bureaucratic structure. The findings indicate that although government implementers have exhibited significant dedication and human resource competence, the program faced obstacles due to inconsistent communication, insufficient physical infrastructure, limited farmer engagement, and poor coordination with village-level organizations. The limitations constrained the policy’s efficacy in converting conventional coffee processes into more lucrative post-harvest processing. The persistence of structural and contextual constraints reduced the program’s capacity to improve farmers’ welfare and contributed to the continuation of existing disparities. Recommendations encompass enhancing localized communication, investing in critical infrastructure, offering transitional incentives, and facilitating more adaptive and participatory implementation frameworks.

Abstract

Waste management remains a persistent challenge in many regions of Indonesia, including Aceh Barat, where waste generation continues to rise annually. To address this issue, the local government enacted Qanun No. 4 of 2017 on Waste Management, which aims to establish a clean, healthy, and sustainable environment. This study examines the implementation of the regulation through the governance perspective using Van Meter and Van Horn’s policy implementation model. Employing a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews with key stakeholders and direct field observations in areas where unmanaged waste persists. The findings reveal that although the qanun has been formally implemented, its execution is not yet optimal. The main obstacles include limited community participation in proper waste disposal and insufficient knowledge among waste management officers regarding the regulation. Strengthening community engagement, improving the capacity of implementing officers, and enhancing monitoring mechanisms are essential to ensure more effective governance of waste management in Aceh Barat.
