COLLABORATIVE GOVERNANCE DALAM PENANGGULANGANKEMISKINAN EKSTREM (PKE) DI KABUPATEN SUMEDANG

Abstract

The eradication of extreme poverty is a national development priority
that requires cross-sectoral and collaborative approaches. This study
aims to analyze the implementation of Collaborative Governance in
addressing extreme poverty in Sumedang Regency, using the
theoretical model proposed by Ansell and Gash (2007), which
includes four key dimensions: starting conditions, facilitative
leadership, institutional design, and the collaborative process. A
qualitative descriptive method was employed, with data collected
through interviews, observations, and documentation. The results
indicate that collaboration has been implemented through cross-
sectoral forums and regional programs such as “One Government
Agency, One Assisted Village.” However, several obstacles remain,
including cultural, institutional, and political factors such as lack of
trust among actors, underdeveloped technical regulations, and
limited involvement of non-governmental sectors. Efforts to overcome
these challenges include building trust, drafting collaborative
standard operating procedures (SOPs), cross-sectoral training, and
inclusive political leadership. The study concludes that Collaborative
Governance in Sumedang Regency has shown significant progress
but still requires strengthened regulatory frameworks and broader
multi-sector participation to ensure greater effectiveness and
sustainability.
