<![CDATA[This study analyzes the implementation of green economy policy through the Village Fund in Damaran Baru Tourism Village, Bener Meriah Regency, and the constraints affecting its implementation. The study employs a descriptive qualitative approach using data obtained through in-depth interviews, non-participant observation, and documentation. The analysis draws on the four policy implementation dimensions proposed by George C. Edwards III: communication, resources, disposition, and bureaucratic structure. The findings show that green economy principles have begun to be implemented through the allocation of approximately 3% of the Village Fund for ecotourism development, the Eco Village, protected-forest tourism, camping grounds, and local economic activities based on natural potential. Implementation, however, remains suboptimal because public communication is predominantly one-way, implementers' technical capacity and digital literacy are limited, commitment has not been fully institutionalized, SOPs have not been standardized, and cross-sectoral coordination remains sporadic. The available evidence is stronger in demonstrating the orientation and process of implementation than in measuring economic and ecological outcomes; changes in income, employment opportunities, waste reduction, resource efficiency, and environmental carrying capacity have not yet been documented quantitatively. The study concludes that strengthening institutional capacity is a critical prerequisite for translating fiscal commitment into sustainable green economy outcomes.]]>
