| Abstract |
This study assesses the current performance of the PEKERTI policy by focusing on the challenges that limit its potential from achieving the set goals. The findings show that the policy’s achievements are moderate and reasonable. PEKERTI faces complex challenges due to the large target group and the varied implementation strategies. Meanwhile, the level of advocacy among agencies is relatively low, and policy implementation monitoring is found to be quite loose. This study suggests that the upcoming PEKERTI 3.0 should reorganize its implementation strategies to be more aligned and focused, while also strengthening advocacy strategies with the involved agencies. Policy implementation monitoring should also be improved through a more efficient data management system. A new narrative for the PEKERTI policy needs to be developed to strengthen public acceptance. |
