<![CDATA[This study aims to analyze the role of the Central Government in supervising Regional Governments in the context of regional autonomy implementation in Indonesia. Regional autonomy grants broader authority to local governments to manage their internal affairs; however, it remains within the framework of the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia (NKRI), which necessitates oversight by the Central Government. The research method used is descriptive qualitative, employing a literature review approach and documentation of statutory regulations. The results show that the role of the central government in supervising regional governments is crucial to ensure that the implementation of regional autonomy aligns with the principles of a unitary state and does not deviate from national objectives. The central government has strategic functions in providing guidance, supervision, monitoring, evaluation, and revocation of regional policies that contradict public interests and legal regulations. However, the implementation of this supervision faces several complex challenges, such as a lack of coordination between central and regional governments, limited human resource capacity, weak transparency and accountability in regional financial management, and inadequate law enforcement and sanctions for violations. These challenges impact the effectiveness of supervision and open up opportunities for deviations and corrupt practices at the regional level.]]>
