Implementasi Kebijakan Program Perlindungan Anak Terpadu Berbasis Masyarakat di Kecamatan Waringin Kurung Kabupaten Serang

Implementation of the Integrated Community Based Child Protection Program Policy in Waringin Kurung District, Serang Regency

Abstract

The Community-Based Integrated Child Protection Program (PATBM) is a government initiative aimed at preventing and addressing various forms of violence against children through active community participation. This study aims to analyze the implementation of the PATBM Program in Waringin Kurung District using the policy implementation model developed by Cheema and Rondinelli, which includes environmental conditions, inter-organizational relationships, organizational resources, as well as the characteristics and capabilities of implementers. This research employed a qualitative method with a descriptive approach, and the data collection techniques included interviews, observations, and documentation. The findings show that the implementation of the PATBM Program in Waringin Kurung District has been carried out fairly well. Community environmental conditions support the implementation of the program through a high level of concern for child protection issues and active participation in socialization activities. Inter-organizational relationships are conducted in a coordinated manner through effective communication among related institutions. Organizational resources are considered adequate, particularly in terms of cadre involvement and institutional support, although limitations in budget allocation and supporting facilities still exist. Meanwhile, the characteristics and capabilities of implementers are considered adequate but not yet optimal due to the absence of specialized training for PATBM cadres. However, greater socialization efforts, strengthened cadre capacity, and increased resource support are still needed to optimize the implementation of the PATBM Program
