Public policy network in the implementation of the sikamaseang integrative child social welfare center program in the Gowa district

The Sikamaseang Integrative Child Social Welfare Service Center (PKSAI) is a child welfare program focusing on the prevention, risk reduction, and handling of children from violence, exploitation, neglect, and other mistreatment. The PKSAI program embodies Gowa Regent Regulation Number 35 of 2016. This program is located under the coordination of the Gowa Regency government through the Social Service, which forms a network of cooperation with several stakeholders. This research is motivated by the many social problems that occur in children, where there are around 113 cases recorded and cannot be resolved in the scope of the Gowa Regency. The goal and focus of the study in this research is the success of the Gowa Regency government in implementing PKSAI. The success of this network-based implementation is seen from three important aspects: rules of action, power relations, and actor strategies. As for answering the three aspects, the researcher uses qualitative research methods. The results showed that the policy network in implementing the Sikamaseang PKSAI program in the Gowa Regency had not been fully successful.
