This study analyses the preparation of the work plan and activities at the General Affairs Section of the Bangkalan Regency Government for the 2025 fiscal year. The study aims to examine the planning process and identify factors affecting the quality and strategic alignment of the annual work plan. A qualitative descriptive approach was employed, with data collected through in-depth interviews with the section head, planning staff, and officials from regional planning and financial-management agencies. Data were also obtained through direct observation and documentation review of the 2025 work plan, work plan and budget, and related strategic documents. The analysis focused on input, process, and output dimensions based on public-sector planning theory and policy-implementation determinants. The findings indicate that the preparation of the 2025 work plan generally followed applicable regulations and was supported by committed personnel and the Regional Government Information System (SIPD). However, several challenges remain, including limited performance data, uneven planner competence, weak alignment between activities and strategic outcome targets, and reactive coordination with planning and budgeting agencies. The study recommends strengthening planner capacity, improving performance-data management, optimizing SIPD, and establishing more proactive coordination to improve the quality and strategic coherence of work-plan preparation.
