Abstract

The Free Nutritious Meals Program (MBG) represents one of the largest national nutrition initiatives implemented simultaneously across regions in Indonesia. Although the program is designed through a centralized policy framework, its implementation requires coordination among multiple actors operating across institutional and sectoral boundaries at the local level. Existing studies on policy implementation have largely focused on administrative capacity and institutional design, while limited attention has been given to how relationships among actors shape governance processes in large-scale public nutrition programs. This study examines how actor networks shape the implementation of the MBG program in Tanjungpinang City. A qualitative research design was employed to explore relational dynamics among actors involved in the program. The analysis integrates Actor Network Theory to examine processes of network formation with Social Network Analysis to map relational structures and identify actors occupying strategic positions within the implementation network. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and analysis of policy documents. The findings reveal that MBG implementation is sustained not primarily by formal administrative hierarchy but by a relational governance network connecting actors responsible for food production, service distribution, and regulatory supervision. The Municipal Education Office functions as the central coordination hub within the network, while the Health Office provides regulatory legitimacy and intermediary actors facilitate coordination across institutional levels. These findings suggest that the effectiveness of complex public service programs depends on the capacity of actor networks to develop adaptive relational mechanisms that sustain coordination in diverse local contexts.

Abstract

Indonesia’s ambition to enhance its maritime economy has been reinforced by its bilateral cooperation with China through the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on Deepening Blue Economy Cooperation. This initiative presents a significant opportunity for maritime provinces like Kepulauan Riau, which possess vast marine resources yet remain underutilized. Despite having 96% of its territory covered by sea, the region's fisheries sector contributes only 1.72% to its Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP), revealing a substantial gap between potential and economic realization. This study aims to explore how regional policy diversification can optimize blue economy potential in Kepulauan Riau amid growing bilateral cooperation. A qualitative descriptive-analytical approach was employed, using secondary data from official statistics, government regulations, academic literature, and blue economy policy frameworks. The study identifies tourism, fisheries, renewable energy, maritime transport, and climate mitigation as key sectors for development. The findings suggest that integrating these sectors through tailored regional policies aligned with local characteristics can create a synergistic effect, amplifying the benefits of blue economy investments. Additionally, strategic policy alignment with national blue economy roadmaps and the inclusion of local stakeholders are crucial to ensure equitable and sustainable outcomes. In conclusion, the research highlights that regional diversification, guided by the principles of sustainability, inclusivity, and local relevance, is essential to transforming external cooperation into real and balanced economic growth for Kepulauan Riau. Such a strategy ensures that no community is left behind in the national pursuit of blue economy advancement.

Abstract

The Natuna and Anambas regions have a strategic position as a maritime border region that is a concern in the national agenda, including through designation as part of the National Strategic Project (PSN). However, the reality of local development shows high fiscal dependence on central transfers, weak local revenue, and vulnerability to global economic fluctuations. This study aims to assess the potential of the Natuna-Anambas Province formation in strengthening fiscal independence and improving local economic governance. Using an exploratory qualitative approach and fiscal policy analysis, this study utilizes secondary data from regional financial reports, BPS statistics, and a literature review related to fiscal decentralization and the resource curse. The results show that the regional revenue structure dominated by the General Allocation Fund (DAU) and Revenue Sharing Fund (DBH) makes Natuna and Anambas vulnerable to central policy changes and commodity price volatility. In addition, the benefits of PSN have not been fully distributed to local communities due to limited institutional capacity and lack of integration of local economic development. The establishment of a new province has the potential to be a solution if accompanied by strengthening fiscal governance, reforming DBH allocation, and economic diversification strategies. This article recommends a policy roadmap based on a multi-level governance approach to promote fiscal autonomy and inclusive and sustainable economic development.
