The central government allocates budgets to sub-districts through the Additional Allocation of General Allocation Funds (Additional DAU) scheme. At the same time, the regional government of Karangasem Regency also provides financial support to sub-districts as part of its commitment to fostering local development. The allocation of these funds is guided by Minister of Home Affairs Regulation Number 130 of 2018, which pertains to the development of sub-district facilities, infrastructure, and community empowerment. This study evaluates and analyzes sub-district fund policies' effectiveness in infrastructure development and community empowerment within the Karangasem Sub-district. Specifically, it seeks to identify whether implementing these policies is optimal and, if not, to determine the underlying causes of any sub-optimal performance and propose solutions to address these issues. The methodology employed for data analysis is qualitative descriptive analysis. The findings indicate that implementing sub-district fund policies in the Karangasem Sub-district is sub-optimal due to several impediments. According to the C. Edwards III model, only the disposition indicator is satisfactory, while communication, resources, and bureaucratic structure need improvement. Key issues include poor communication between the government and community, insufficient employee understanding of new policies, low community participation, the inadequate role of societal institutions like LPM, and the lack of standard operating procedures (SOPs) or technical guidance. Solutions include enhancing communication and coordination, providing training and educational opportunities, encouraging community involvement, and strengthening the role of societal institutions.

Implementasi Desentralisasi Fiskal dalam Kebijakan Transfer Dana ke Daerah Pada Realisasi Anggaran Pendapatan dan Belanja Negara Tahun 2021

Fiscal decentralization has been officially implemented in Indonesia since the beginning of the reform, to be precise since January 2001, and implemented to create regional self-reliance. With the regional autonomy policy and fiscal decentralization, every region in Indonesia receives a large delegation of authority. In 2020, the Covid-19 Pandemic rocked the Indonesian economy. Economic growth continued to decline and had a negative impact on the people's economy, in addition to influencing the Transfer to Regions and Village Fund (TKDD) policies. Regional Governments are given the authority to prioritize the use of budget allocations for specific programs (refocusing), change allocations, and use the Regional Revenue and Expenditure Budget (APBD). Merilee S.

Village Funds Policy and its Impact on Improvement and Autonomy Status of Villages in Indonesia

”End poverty in all its forms everywhere” is the ultimate goal and crucial element of the world’s SDGs 2030 transformative agendas, as well as in Indonesia. The COVID-19 pandemic has hindered Indonesia from achieving its SDGs targets and reducing poverty, including rural poverty. The village funds policy sourced from the state budget is one of the policies that aims to alleviate rural poverty; thus, there will be a reduction of disadvantageous villages and an enhancement of self-sustained villages in Indonesia. This study aims to investigate the impact of village funds on the improvement and autonomy status of villages in Indonesia. It utilizes a quantitative method, namely linear regression of panel data using the Village Building Index (VBI) as the dependent variable and village funds as the independent variable over 2018-2021 in each regency/city in Indonesia. The result suggests that the village fund policy, through the 10% allocation of the state budget, has a positive and significant effect on changes in the improvement and autonomy status of the villages in Indonesia. The finding using the model (lin-log) tells us that a 1% increase in village funds will raise the VBI by 0.0013. This indicates that the village funds policy has contributed to the achievement of rural poverty alleviation goals, or it could be a pro-poor policy in order to achieve the purpose of the 1st SDGs goal. Keywords: SDGs, poverty, village funds policy, improvement and autonomy status of villages
