Abstract

Corruption remains a structural problem that hampers good governance in Indonesia; efforts to combat it therefore cannot rest on enforcement alone but must also encompass prevention at an early stage. This study aims to analyse the role of the Government Internal Oversight Apparatus (Aparatur Pengawas Internal Pemerintah, APIP) — embodied at the regional level by the Regional Inspectorate — in preventing corrupt practices through the educational programme ‘Inspektorat Goes to School’ in Sidoarjo Regency. The programme positions schools as spaces for value formation and targets junior secondary school pupils as the generation that will shape the bureaucracy of the future. The study adopts a descriptive qualitative approach, with data gathered through a documentary study of official reporting, policy documents, and regional government publications, which were then analysed thematically with reference to theories of corruption prevention and character education. The findings show that APIP performs consulting and assurance functions that shift from a repressive towards a preventive orientation through the internalisation of nine integrity values, namely honesty, caring, independence, discipline, responsibility, hard work, simplicity, courage, and justice. The strategy pursued rests on three pillars — prevention, education, and corrective action — and is reinforced through the appointment of Anti-Corruption Ambassadors in each school. The programme targets 27 schools in 2026 and is positioned as a sustained movement rather than a ceremonial activity. The study concludes that extending the role of APIP into the domain of character education constitutes a governance innovation that strengthens the internal oversight function in breaking the chain of corruption at the upstream source of the problem, whilst also demanding continuity, cross-stakeholder collaboration, and measurable instruments for evaluating impact.

Abstract

This study analyzes the implementation of the Central Papua One-Stop Service Information System (Sipersateng) at the Central Papua Provincial Secretariat as a model for administrative innovation in the New Autonomous Region (DOB). The main focus of the study is to explore how a region with extreme infrastructure limitations can leapfrog or institutionalize towards an agile and transparent digital bureaucracy. Using a qualitative descriptive-analytical method with a case study approach, this research involved in-depth interviews, participant observation, and documentation studies to capture the dynamics of the transition from manual to digital systems. The results show that Sipersateng successfully reduced administrative process time by up to 60%. This success was driven by three main dimensions: institutional legitimacy through strong leadership commitment, technical resilience through offline-syncing features to address internet signal fluctuations, and significant changes in work culture. Adaptation strategies such as peer-mentoring methods for senior officials and mandatory policies through gubernatorial instructions proved effective in breaking down organizational cultural resistance. This study concludes that Sipersateng is not merely a technical tool, but rather a manifestation of Frontier Digital Bureaucracy that is able to mitigate the risk of maladministration and build public accountability in the newly formed province. This innovation demonstrates that geographic limitations are not a major barrier to achieving clean governance if supported by inclusive and adaptive system design. These findings provide a theoretical contribution to the public management literature on digitalization in regions with high structural challenges.

Abstract

The government has launched various programmes to improve the welfare of older persons, yet social problems relating to them persist, making policy evaluation essential in order to assess whether such programmes achieve their intended goals. This study evaluates the PKH Plus social assistance programme for the empowerment of older persons at the East Java Provincial Social Service. Unlike previous studies that emphasise policy implementation, this research strengthens the policy evaluation perspective by applying William N. Dunn’s six evaluation criteria: effectiveness, efficiency, adequacy, equity, responsiveness and appropriateness. A qualitative descriptive method was used, with data collected through observation and interviews and analysed through data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing or verification. The results show that PKH Plus has been fairly effective and appropriate in improving the welfare of older persons in recipient regencies and cities, and is responsive to beneficiaries’ needs through accompaniment, family capability meetings and the older persons’ integrated health post (Posyandu). However, the programme remains constrained in terms of efficiency, adequacy and equity owing to a limited budget sourced solely from the regional budget, human resources that are merged with the regular PKH, and uneven access to integrated health post services for older persons. The evaluation recommends the institutional separation of PKH Plus from the regular PKH, the expansion of the budget and beneficiary quotas, and broader, more equitable service coverage.

Abstract

This research intends to examine the empowerment of a culture-based creative economy in South Sorong Regency as a sustainable development strategy grounded in local traditions. The primary issue identified is the lack of competitiveness for local creative goods stemming from insufficient innovation, restricted market access, and inadequate infrastructure support. This study utilizes a qualitative descriptive method through comprehensive interviews, participatory observation, and documentation with creative economy participants, traditional authorities, and local government representatives. The results indicate that innovation in the creative economy of South Sorong is achieved by enhancing the skills of local entrepreneurs, safeguarding traditional cultural crafts like carving and weaving from West Papua, and utilizing digital technology for marketing products. The local government serves as a catalyst to foster cooperation between traditional communities, educational entities, and the private sector to create a thriving creative ecosystem. The conclusion emphasizes that innovation rooted in culture is crucial for strengthening the economic resilience of communities. The research suggests creating a regional center for the creative economy to serve as a cooperative space for training, cultural production, and promotion, aimed at enhancing market networks both nationally and internationally.
